    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    PATTY MELT REVIEW…read more Iconic diner on the edge of Chinatown, a couple blocks east of the Expressway. It's been around for decades and it's open 24/7. More of an authentic this-place-has-aged feel than the typical diner attempt to evoke an earlier era. Went in the morning and went for a patty melt-- because I could. It's too elusive these days, so being able to not only find one but have it at breakfast, a double win. Double patty is standard, not an add-on, and fries (probably frozen, but lengthy, crisp and fluffy) are included. No onions, no rye, but lettuce and tomato-- a non-traditional configuration. Nicely browned patties that had juiciness. The ingredients weren't anything to write home about, but the execution was great all around and so was the cheerful service from a seasoned veteran. Sure, I've had better with the proper rye, griddled onions, and higher quality beef, but an easy 4 stars for the execution, value, vibe, and being able to even order a patty melt before 10 in the morning. Bonus points for a plastic ketchup squeeze bottle that was slightly warm. Breakfast items (eggs, crispy home fries, and pancakes) on a neighboring table looked good.

South Street Diner was one of the few places open that early, so I decided to give it a try. Parking was easy at that hour, and I thought it was kind of cool seeing a classic diner tucked in among all the large office buildings downtown. I was in the mood for pancakes and ended up ordering the diner special with eggs over medium, home fries, corned beef hash, bacon, and pancakes. Unfortunately, the food was mostly average to below average. The eggs were a little underdone, the home fries were slightly overcooked in spots, and the toast was pretty standard diner fare. The homemade salsa was actually a nice touch and added some flavor to the potatoes. The biggest disappointment was the corned beef hash. I was hoping for something homemade, but it reminded me of the canned version I grew up eating. The texture and flavor just weren't for me, and I ended up leaving most of it behind. The pancakes were okay but a little dense and doughy, nothing particularly memorable. On the positive side, the coffee was decent, the service was fine, and being open early is definitely a plus for travelers. Overall, I'd put this one close to 3 stars. It's convenient if you need breakfast before sunrise, but the food didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for.

I'm a huge breakfast fanatic, especially a good breakfast sandwich or burrito. This is the original location that was started by two friends and has grown to multiple other locations since. We took an Uber here from our hotel. I imagine if you drive over here, parking will be a challenge. It's almost easy to miss. It sits on a corner of a brick building with just writing on the windows. In all my research I did not catch that it is the smallest restaurant in Boston at only 175 square feet. It's basically a room with most of the space taken by the tiny kitchen. There's also a little tiny ledge on the window with a couple of stools for those who may want to dine in. Customers including us took turns walking in and putting in our orders and then stepping out to make room for more people. It had a steady line the whole time we were there. Hours are limited from 7:30-2 so don't delay. Customer service was straight business, kind of the norm in Boston. Their menu is breakfast sandwiches, a couple of burritos and some lunch options like a turkey sandwich, BLT, or a Rueben. For sides, they have hashbrowns or a plain English muffin. For a small menu, they do have quite a few drink options like coffee, tea, juices, and different flavored milks including banana milk which I have never seen. For their food, they use high quality ingredients from local farms and purveyors and have their own bakery for their bread. My eyes fixated on the Breakfast Grilled Crack mainly for the name, but also all the ingredients looked tasty. It was quality eggs, bacon, four cheeses on sourdough bread. I went extra and added sausage to it as well. I also got OJ to wash it down. We realized our only option to eat comfortably was to go back to our hotel lobby to eat. Even with the travel time, the sandwich was nice and warm and the bread was still nice and crispy from the griddle. This sandwich was indeed one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I almost felt guilty eating it because of how rich and cheesy it was. I would skip the hash brown next time. It did not travel well nor did it have anything special going on with it. Hands down one of my favorite meals of the trip that I would absolutely do again if I am in the area.
