"No neighborhood brunches like South Boston, and Hunter’s is doing four days of brunch over the extended New Year’s weekend, from Thursday, January 1, through Sunday, January 4, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Southern comfort food menu includes beignets, everything bagel biscuits, pulled pork sandwiches, shrimp and grits, and much more." - Tanya Edwards


"There’s a lot of tall, beefy burgers on this list, but its crispier cousin, the smash burger, also deserves a spotlight here. At Southern-style comfort food hangout Hunter’s, the smash burger ($16) is bursting with crispy onions, strips of bacon, slices of avocado, sharp cheddar cheese, and a squirt of spicy serrano aioli, all layered on a puffy potato roll. Best for: The diner who likes their burger with a dose of Southern comfort on the side, from fried pickles and biscuits to sweet crab hushpuppies." - Erika Adams

"I noted that this new South Boston spot centers on Southern comfort food and offers large takeout packages: the “big game” serves 10 for $215 (10 pieces of fried chicken, a rack of St. Louis–style ribs, two pounds of smoked brisket, 12 biscuits, and fixin’s) and there’s a “bird bucket” that serves five to 10 for $125 (18 pieces of fried chicken, 15 biscuits, and fixin’s); packages require 48 hours’ notice and must be ordered by phone or email.
