Best of Boston

Every dish feels like a love letter to comfort food at this Southie stunner, which serves up the city’s most indulgent southern brunch. Executive chef Lambert Givens delivers fried-chicken Benedict on dreamy everything biscuits and soufflé-like cornbread that melts instantly in your mouth. His gumbo brimming with shrimp, crab, and andouille—which literally beat Bobby Flay on TV—shows the lunch side of the menu hits just as well.
