    Good for the neighborhood, but maybe not for a road trip. Yeanie's took over the spot of a pizza joint I grew up with, so they had big shoes to fill. As a Vietnamese and women-owned business, I'm an avid supporter of seeing more mom-and-pop shops on Dot Ave, and I really want to see them succeed. Honestly? If I lived right next door and had a craving, I'd stop by for a quick bite. But it's not a "destination" burger quite yet. The menu leans heavily on the word "crispy" (even emphasizing "cwispy" on the fries), but my experience was the opposite--the patties and fries were actually pretty soggy and the burger itself was drenched in way too much sauce. It's the ultimate hangover cure, but between the sogginess and the steep price tag, it's more of a "once in a while" indulgence than a new staple. It's got potential, but it could definitely be better. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is reminiscent of Johnny Rockets. Very family friendly.

    Wow this is an amazing brekkie sando. The soufflé egg was fluffy and love the smashed sausage patty. Get the Yeanie sauce which has cooked chopped onion. Easy to order online and it was made to order. Lovely staff inside

    Ok, I know Yeanie's is on the map for their burgers, but I have to say their chicken was really the star of the show. I much preferred the chicken sandwich to the burger (and maybe that's because I'm not the biggest fan of smash patty style), but I thought that that along with their crisp and fluffy fries topped with creamy sauce and tender chicken was the best stuff on the menu. Otherwise, the service was exceptional- fast a friendly- and the vibes had that excellent diner feel, somehow both old school and elevated modern. The yellow ambience makes the whole meal feel bright and desirable, perfect for a late night bite with friends or a midday snack. All the flavors were tasty as can be, high quality, and left me wanted to come back for more. I will definitely need to try their new breakfast sandwiches soon! This spot is a little trip out of Boston, but a fun adventure and definitely worth it!

    Over $10 bucks for the thinnest burger patty you've ever had. Could barely tell there was meat between all the topping and thick bread. The topping overpower it quite easily. If you're going to offer a burger with many toppings then they should compliment the burger not hide it. Ended up taking all the toppings off and was sad to see the burger still lacked any flavor. It also lacked the characteristic crispy edges that really good thin smash burgers usually have. Also I arrived right at 11 when they opened and couldn't help but notice very dirty floors and floor mats leaned against tables and seating, that they then laid out and did not wash off the tables.

    1/3 full extra sauce

    Overall 3.5 stars. We ordered build your own burgers (double with chopped onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and yeanie sauce & double with same but + bacon), chocolate milkshake, Oreo milkshake, two sides of a fries, and two sides of sauce (habanero + yeanie's). My boyfriend and I have contradicting opinions on our meals so I'll give you both perspectives, but we can both agree on quick food, great service, and amazing crispy seasoned fries. Me: my burger was cooked well, super fresh NOT GREASY ingredients (I didn't get sick after which is a huge bonus). Yeanie sauce was super tasty but my burger was absolutely drenched in it and almost took away from the flavor of the rest of the toppings. My milkshake was decent- good taste but thin. Boyfriend: He loved the taste of his burger but it was slightly overcooked. He adored his chocolate milkshake- super thick and tasty. One thing that annoyed me was paying extra for sauce but the yeanie's sauce container was probably 1/3 full which was a rip off (pictured). Habanero sauce was OD spicy.. so if you like that do it! It's not something that I could see myself specifically craving but it was really nice to indulge without extra grease and to not get sick!

    Solid smashburgers in Dorchester. The chicken looked amazing and I will come back for that. Overall, there's a few choices of burgers and you can stack more than a single patty if you want. I did a double. There's a spicy burger option which is really good. Sauce is one of the best parts of this place. I didn't care for the fries myself, since I like more of a 5 Guys hand cut style. It can be an expensive burger lunch for sure. I feel like nothing is cheap anymore though. The food is fresh so you will wait for it. I prefer that. Everything is cooked on demand. You order at the counter (on the kiosk) and they call you when it's ready. The place has an old school diner vibe mixed with a somewhat minimalist approach. Counter seating and few tables exist, but I would imagine more people do take out, since seating is limited.

    Cwispy Fries

    This may be the best fast food non fast food burger in the city. The food was delicious and fresh, despite ordering thru a 3rd party delivery app. The burgers and fries were all so flavorful. We will definitely be back!!!

    Chicken Tenders (4)
    Wilson L.

    Yeanie's is fantastic. I honestly can't think of another spot that serves chicken sandwiches, tenders, and fries this good for the price. Plus, the place itself is adorable, with a throwback diner vibe. The buffalo chicken sandwich is a 10/10 perfection. The chicken tenders dunked in Yeanie's sauce or that fiery BBQ Habanero? Another 10/10. And the fries which were crispy and seasoned another, 10/10. The only thing that didn't fully hit for me was the loaded mac and cheese since it leaned a little greasy, but honestly, if you're into Hamburger Helper, you'll probably be all about it. Yeanie's is a fantastic spot that's fun, tasty, and absolutely worth repeat visits.

    Was so good, had it twice in a week. What surprised us was the menu was a little different the two times we ordered. To preface, this review is for takeout only. The website is easy to understand and we called it in, the staff was super friendly and helpful when it came to questions. The burger is great. The yeanie sauce is delicious, a good comparison is a tasty burger but tastier. The fries are nice and crispy. The chicken yeanie both fried and grilled were awesome. The best part is you don't feel awful afterwards (compared to fast food and fast casual burger spots). One thing they need to do is keep the passionfruit habanero wings on the menu!

    Smash Classic Breakfast
    Taylor S.

    Casual smash burger joint that is very cheery and takes inspiration from diners. Employees were very nice, you can order at a kiosk or with a cashier and food comes out within 5-12min. They recently started offering a breakfast smash "burger" (sausage patties instead of beef), and it was pretty good stacked with their signature egg soufflé, hash brown, bacon, etc. Asked to not have the caramelized and they forget, but were very nice and quickly changed it out when we asked to have them removed. Got the spicy sauce which was just a regular spicy mayo (wasn't even very spicy) which was a bit underwhelming. I thought it was going to be a really nice hot sauce, so that was a little disappointing. It was about $14 for the sandwich after tax which makes it a bit expensive, especially for Dorchester. However, it was very tasty and I'd go again for lunch or dinner to try their burger and fries.

    Chicken sando
    Connie C.

    Wait -- these fries are amazing... it was so seasoned and crispy! I want to order an extra large order of that. Wings were extra crispy and huge! I got the passionfruit habanero and wasn't too overly spicy, but def has a kick! The chicken sando is the breadwinner here! Love the slaw in it and the chicken was juicy and crispy! Yeanie's Burgers also hits the spot!

    Shroom Melt with Cwispy Fries
    Caroline N.

    Yeanie's is new to the Dorchester scene, but it will be a neighborhood gem in no time! When you walk in, it's as if you were transported to an old fashioned soda fountain with the yellow checkered floors, the black and white photos, and the round swivel barstools at the counter. The Shroom Melt was an exceptional smash burger! The burger patty was thin with a good char on it, the mushrooms were a perfect complement, and the sauce was very flavorful. The bun was liberally covered in sesame seeds which added a nice textural component to the burger. Fries were not included with the burger, so I added on an order of the Cwispy fries. They're the lightly breaded variety - not my personal preferred fry type - but they were yummy nonetheless and cwispy, as advertised. The vanilla milkshake was the perfect sweet pairing with our meal. It was presented in a classic milkshake glass with a cherry on top, with the excess served on the side in a little plastic cup, which was the perfect little side portion for my little one. What really sets this place apart, though, is the friendly staff. They went above and beyond with explaining the menu, giving me an extra tray for my kiddo to eat off of, and going around and checking on all the patrons even though it's an order at the counter kind of place. Their attitudes matched the sunshine-yellow surroundings and it was such a bright encounter. Can't wait to go back!

    We got a Yeanie's burger, chicken sandwich, Nashville rub wings, and fries as takeout. Not the ideal context for eating burgers and fries, but we still enjoyed the meal! Not sure what I could say about the burger, but it definitely satisfied my burger craving (loved the bacon crisps too) and the fries were perfect. Word of warning on the Nashville rub wings: the spice was pretty intense, even though we do eat spicy foods. If spice is your thing, then you'd probably like it! I'd go for something milder next time. I will back up the reply to another review that the wings are actually bigger than typical, so that makes up for what seems like higher price (which also made me pause). The interior was super clean, really enjoyed the yellow aesthetic, and we would've enjoyed eating there if we stayed. In all, I'm looking forward to coming back, trying another burger/sandwich, and picking a different style of wings to try!

I grabbed the $22 capital burger, guyere cheese, french onion carmelized onions and shallot aoili. Opted for the upgraded truffle fries +$3. Cooked a perfect medium, fat patty, cheese pull on point, dip with the aioli..... chef's kiss frfr. The fries were crispy, seasoned well, no complaints outside i couldn't finish them after the burger. It is FILLING. The calamari was perfectly crispy with thin coat of batter, large rings and mustache pieces, and chili peppers/ hots was a great addition. Love this style calamari. The lady grabbed the shroom burger and her's was also juicy, glistening..Goodness! Ample, ample amounts of mushrooms chopped and topped! About $70 bucks for the meal plus tip. Happy with our dinner! Oh the pickles in the mini jar were so good the lady asked for a second serving which Jillian gladly grabbed for us!
