“What I love so much about Lower Mills in Dorchester is just how friendly the business owners are. Nowhere else in Boston do I get that small town feel in an otherwise bustling area. It's the perfect place for me.”

“I don't live in Lower Mills, but find myself driving there almost daily. I'm about 5 miles out in Milton but no place gets you as good a lunchtime restaurant option as Lower Mills offers. It's a great spot. A hidden gem in my opinion.”
