Here’s what Love Food had to say about Pete’s Dockside being named the best classic comfort food restaurant in Massachusetts:

Pete’s Dockside is a hidden gem that serves hearty breakfasts and lunches to dockworkers (and anyone else in the know). Breakfast burritos are a big hit at this counter service restaurant, but you can also get omelets, French toast, and breakfast sandwiches. For lunch, there’s a daily specials menu that features grilled haddock, seafood cakes, and chicken lasagna, among other items, as well as a selection of pizza, burgers, wraps, and salads. The place is hard to find, but it’s definitely worth it!
