I love this plaza! Not only because it is very well located in the middle of Dorchester but because it has literally anything you need. Please, take note 📝 There are stores for groceries 🌱🌶🥔🥗🥦🥒🥕, electronics 💡📱💻, renovations ⚒️🔨🪛, shoes 👠 👞 …. Beautiful and nice restaurants, even a Nail salon 💅 (Which I love!) and finally… a Starbucks (a very nice one!) I come very often and still there are stores I haven’t visit. It is a busy mall, so be prepared for a little hassle to park.

I'm new to Dorchester, so Southbay was the first location that reminded me of back home and normalcy. It's also the place I go listen to my favorite song and stare at the skyline for a few minutes. All the shops in one place are so convenient.

This area was very clean. Folks are nice here. Speak when spoken too. Even speak with a warm greeting ☺️ But it's still Boston! Not good vibes for me because I'm a fan of the STEELERS!!

I walked past Pearl at South Bay at night on 9/23/21 and it's beautiful as shown in the stunning pictures attached. I went to Pearl on the following Saturday. It was an interesting experience. The food was good overall. We ordered lots of things from the menu totalling about $200.00. Without going into much detail about the food, which was very good, the service at lunch was slow. The waiters were a little too much interested in talking amongst themselves, as opposed to giving great customer service to the patrons.The drinks came over a little too slow, but the food came out fast. A new restaurant should be very careful in these times to make sure that the customer's are very well taken care of, with impeccable service. Cleaning tables in between courses and making sure that the lunch and dinner services are up to their expectations. When you're introducing a seafood restaurant in Boston it's very important to make sure that the restaurant is meeting expectations. There's plenty of competition.

Many stores to shop. Awesome restaurants in the area. Plenty of free parking.

South Bay Center is beautiful at night. My first time visiting the area to watch movie at AMC. The area host lots of businesses.

This ctr has great stores. This is a great location. Plenty of parking but what's around there is discouraging. It's full of people with drug issues. People shop lifting. People getting high and dirty all over the parking lots. Otherwise it would be a five.

Went to my wife and myself favorite lace for luncheon special. We both like the Shrimp Scampi, Salad and Bread sticks. We split 1 Special and walk out of there feeling good. For a change you might try the Chicken Parmesan, it's delicious. We've never left Olive Garden, unsatisfied. Great food, very good staff and occasionally a little slow even when there not to busy.

A good assortment of stores & eatery! Very accessible!

I only went to stop n shop supermarket. I notice they been doing a real good set up. Look very nice. Also Target have a new extra entrance close to the food section. Real nice. Look like hight class place.

This center was nice n got better over the year keep it up !

This place has really exploded in the last 2 years it literally has everything from stores like Best Buy, Super Target & Home Depot to Fast, Family & Fine dining restaurants. A 12 Screen IMAX AMC Movie Theater and multiple new hotels!

***** hands down.. This whole area with all the plazas, shopping , brick sidewalks, tall buildings, like your right in downtown but it's like beautiful not trashy..I love it , it's totally dope . I highly recommend there's something for everyone .

Loved the place and the weather ❤️ even though is summer it felt like on the lower 70's. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. Didn't had time to see much but can't wait to come back.

It is unfortunate l, the amount of people standing around the stores, in the parking lots and home depot side. Can't get out alof the car with people approaching you for work, want to help you, money ect. It ha gotten much worse over the years. I will not shop here anymore. I had to argue with guys to leave my stuff alone when coming out of HD while the security just sat there.

I lived in this area for a long time and I'm impressed with the make over. I love it and all the new stores they have added as well. Looking Good!

South Bay Mall is improving. Additional stores such as Nike converse loyal companion carters and others makes for a better experience. Feels cleaner and safer than in the past. Shout out to staff at Nike and loyal companion. They know they difference between a sale and servicing the customer.

Since they built that section next to Panera, I like South Bay more than I used to. I always felt there were not enough food options in the mall and now they have places that people actually like to go to. It does suck that Forever 21 had to close though. It was more convenient for me, but I guess I'll go back to shopping online.

Its getting better little by little. Love that they addes grill110. Need some traffic control at Stop and Shop

It's always pretty busy but I am always able to get what I am looking for

South bay is great lots of stores always get I want ,only down fall is all the homeless In the area but ,other than that no complaints.

Nice mall, They do lots of biz so get there early stock runs out fast

It's Very nice it has a lot of stores - Target, Nike , Converse, Ulta, Old Navy etc. Also a few food spots -Chipotle , jp licks , Olive Garden etc.. It's right off the highway making it easy to come and go.

Enough parking. Lots of stores to visit. Able to get what is needed easily.

Umm, insane!!! People everywhere asking for $$$. I've never been and was driving by and needed to run into stop and shop. What a mistake!!

People are around. Cant say it's bad. I had trouble at office supplies store but home depot as always friendly. Haven't made a looksee at the new side yet. Food at the restaurants are good

All the stores you need.

I was going to give 5 but BEST BUY DORCHESTER is HORRIBLE! They do not care about the customers at all!! The BEST BUY CAMBRIDGE is WAY more professional and humble with their customers but their was a time a employee charged a customer for TTS (worth $150) without her knowledge...be careful with BEST BUY PERIOD! they leave their phones off the hook on purpose so don't depend on help from them!

I the things I needed was there...

Nothing like not having to go far to shop

Loved everything but stop n shop. Oh the horrors of stop n shop.

Everything in one area.. groceries shopping and restaurants

Dirty over crowded not good for covid

There is nothing new here. Stay home, stay safe!!

Parking

Convinient and easy to use

Loved it

Is my preferred place

Excellent Mall

Huge mall w everything you would ever want. almost too big if you ask me, it takes forever to get to where you want/need

Shop here all the time

(Translated by Google) I consider it excellent. (Original) Lo considero excelente.

Much less people due to pandemic, went to target and toys section not seem well in stock.

Plenty of parking. It is a relief to go there compared to other crowded locations.👍

Everything you need

Vibrant area. Can get almost anything.

It's an ok mall just need to go early in morning or after 6 pm

Walking

Everything you could possibly need in one shopping center...as well as vice needs.

I don't know why they would even put the hand cleaners on the same plate as my food & even touching my food smdh needless to say I didn't enjoy nor ate my ribs but the box loaded mash potatoes was tasty

Always a traffic nightmare. I don't get why they laid out the roads the way they did. It seams like it would be easy to fix the parking lot and make this a nice place to shop.

Methadone mile* any drug in the world can be found on🙏 "the mile" 🙏. Along with every kind of person in personalities some cases many personalities in one person that is probably due to their sickness and no one to judge a person I am not a God 🙏. not lots of hope in most homeless addicted. Dark souls basically have given up 🎄🙏🙏. I'm also a "sick person" (recovering alcohol and drug addict). Trying to get better one day at a time. It's a lifelong battle every day twice on Sundays. 😅🙏🙏🙏🙂😉. Don't judge nobody regardless of what you stereotype them as you never know what someone's been through. I'm so sick of people throwing shade just because. Misery loves company and that's the most true statement about humans. A lot of times people like to judge people to make them feel better about their own dirty secrets, demons. You're in need of any help? Everybody has $500 voucher that needs to be activated through ATR. There's a lot of resources in the state for people that are addicts and alcoholic.

Crowded. Little or no parking

Everything i can ask for

There is to much pan handling going on not really a safe feeling.

Top of building is a place to have a view of Boston Skyline ! Beautiful view !

(Translated by Google) I found everything I wanted (Original) Encontré todo lo que quería

Clean place

Alot of good stores in one place..food shoppimg dining and clotbes.sneakerrs.metro.best buy target marshalls tj maxx stopies gasandmore!

Awesome

I enjoyed shopping at Targets! There were a cashier at Stop & Shop that was a lil rude, but I found everything that I needed.

Conveniently located to enjoy a little bit of fun, pizzas ,bowling . The place reminds me of the early days of the 70s . The bowling balls are small size so youngsters can handle it too. Live ,Love, Laugh .

stayed at the holiday inn express just around the corner. and then if you are looking for food or shopping or even groceries everything is right there. there is even a best buy and a T Mobile store just in case you are looking for a new cell number. very convenient and easy access

Nice place lots of stores to shop but is to crowded you need to have time if you want to check a few stores and with this covid 19 you got to be very careful i seen people coughing a lot and without mask so think twice just saying for your health any way this was my first time at this mall so good luck to all good shopping.

South Bay has most things you need, however Security Is Severely Lacking. I feel very unsafe and try to avoid the area. South Bay is on the news almost every night for assaults, customers attacked, robberies. It is immediately adjacent to Methadone Mile. A tent city inhabited by heroin addicts. NOT a pleasant experience. Please Make it Safe.

The new restaurant, PEARL at South Bay was crowded had to wait about 45 minutes before served. But it was worth the wait! Food was great and the ambience was very inviting and appealing. The server was knowledgeable and very helpful in all the necessary ways 20% plus tip!

I very been hearing a roar about The Pearl restaurant. Its a great space to have business meeting ,casual date night or romantic date night. Inside or out under the stars. Gental staff ,great service. An AMAZING food. A must 👌

It's come a long way South Bay is South bay though. There is always something going on and you get all walks of life. That's why there is a mini police station in it because they see everything. The Home Depot is the most expensive one I know of in Ma. Drywall is like 5$ cheaper a board in the Avon one.

The shopping center has improved immensely over the past years. There are a great variety of stores and places to eat. Ample parking spaces. A relaxing green space or walking trail would be a great addition in center of lot.

The South Bay Center is surprisingly nice. From the freeway the place looks drab, but once within the complex you'll find a nifty variety of restaurants, cosmetic/spa, and clothing shops. It would be nice to have greater variety in shopping, but what you find is nice.

I made a trip home to Boston, and went to South Bay with my sister. I was amazed. I remember when the area was a vacant plot of land. Now it's a shoppers dream. Everything from a supernarket to a movie theatre. My only issue is the parking lot. Not well planned and I heard there a multiple accidents reported every week. Don't let that deter you. Go get your Starbucks and drive safely. 😁😁☕☕

It’s such a great shopping center, there is a tons of food places such as Panera, Chipotle, and more! It’s also located not that far away from a red line train station called Andrew. It’s easy to get there. I definitely suggest going there if you need to hang out or just chill

Plazas great it has every type of store ,with a gas station. It has a couple restaurants and Starbucks.I didn't give it 5 cause drug paraphernalia and clients tend to hover around.

The South bay center shopping area is a place that you could pretty much find everything that you're looking for. The variety of stores has it so that you can do something with everyone in the family. Just one thing to be alert about, there are many homeless people and addicts that frequent that area so keep that in mind!!!

It was, as always is, kinda crowded and busy. Finding parking spots near the store you wanna go to is a hussle. But if you are on foot you should be fine

This visit was to buy prepared food. The visit was awesome. I didn’t have to wait too long to checkout.

The place a bit dangerous, you have to watch your back when going there beacuse some crazy people can just jump on you lool. A lot of the time is also so dirty. The new built area is way better but still kind of crazy people.

The new Stop & Shop (expanded) often has long lines but they do try to keep the shelves stocked. Good range of stores in this mall too.

Best mall this side of methadone mile. The Nike store has free sneakers all the time just leave your old beat up sketchers in the box n bounce on your new Nike vapormaxs

This place is a hidden jewel! Plenty of pleasant surprises. Go the movie theater area and see your "wow" I don't want to spoil it for you. The area is secured, police center across the parking lot and usually an officer watching over things. Great condo development butts the landscape. Major grocery store, Target, Best Buy, top family restaurants and MBTA bus stop comes right inside mall parking lot. Did I mention a Home Depot is here too!? Take an excursion via the T and absorb the views outside the mall and upon entering. It's a nice walk to get here!

The boat was great BUT….. My husband went up and rented a boat during our vacation in Cape Coral. He went in on a Wednesday around 10:30am and The request was for 3 days to be picked up at noon. The rep never gave him a receipt and never reviewed what 3 days meant. On Friday afternoon my husband called the shop to confirm what time the boat had to be back on Saturday. He was informed that it had to be back on Friday by 5pm or there would be additional charges. To me 3 days =72 hours and it should’ve been due Saturday at 12. At the very least the should’ve done 2 things: charged us for 2.5 days or informed us of how they do it so we could’ve made the informed decision. If we had know we would’ve scheduled the rental for pick up at 8am Thursday and returned Saturday at 5

This place is right on the edge of a major drug crisis zone. The good people that work here and the customers that come here deserve better. Local law enforcement needs to do a better job of moving these people out of this area. Every time I come here there is some issue. You have people loitering around the front of the stores, obviously high as a kite. Today I witnessed someone who was clearly unstable screaming at customers as they were making their way to the store. A few days ago I watched as people were dealing drugs right out in the parking lot. I'm guessing Mayer Wu doesn't shop here.

Very convenient location and well-designed stores that are attractive and spacious. Lots of parking and amenities in the area. I can bike there, take the #10 bus, or drive there on Frontage Road that runs alongside the Southeast Expy. Take a look at the area on Google Maps and you'll see the area has so much to offer!

Had my tablet sent out to get fixed through Best But and unfortunately it got lost through UPS...😥😕 But I did get a gift card to purchase another. Which is awesome! I'm able to purchase an upgraded version...😁 All and all it was great for me bc all I have to do is to re-download all my apps and i'll have a new tablet in the end.....🤩👍

Had a lot of great store and great parking

The mall also has a food court with a variety of fast food and sit-down restaurants, as well as a number of sit-down restaurants located throughout the mall.

The mall is also well-maintained and clean, with friendly staff on hand to assist with any questions or concerns. Overall, the South Bay Center is a great place to shop, dine, and have fun. Whether you are looking for the latest fashion trends, a delicious meal, or just want to spend some time with friends and family, it is a great destination.

Dangerous place to be. Too close to junkie town. Junkies passed out in front of the stores. Don't ever leave your car unlocked and be very aware of your surroundings. They will slash your tires and offer to help. Don't get taken in! Very dangerous place.

I’ve shopped at South Bay many times over the years and I usually find the experience to be pretty unremarkable. But when I was there last Friday evening, it was mess: there were at least a dozen police vehicles scattered throughout the parking lot-all with their engines running (wasteful!) & emergency lights flashing…The lights are obnoxiously bright and potentially hazardous to drivers: I found them to be highly distracting as I slowly navigated my way through the giant parking lot. Furthermore, I saw three of the police officers as I drove past them sitting in their vehicles-one appeared to be sleeping, and the other two were quite obviously looking at their phones. What is the purpose of this excessive police presence?

Did a favor for a friend and dropped them off at this mall. Unfortunately, this mall was very uninviting, actually scary in broad daylight. Alot of mysterious, frightening characters hanging around outside a few of the stores. I watched and waited while my friend entered and phoned me that they arrived inside the store safely. I'd be hesitant to return to this mall. Tred carefully.

Okay, This plaza location has simply gotten better. I'm amazed at what they've done with it in the past 10 years. I personally grow tired of it, but then they decided to develop it, adding extra amenities such as more restaurants and cafes and not to mention outlets and a lux movie theater? Haha. Now the environment just bustles, people spend more time here shopping dining and lingering than they do in actual inside mall. Haha. Good job developers.

Place is big, spacious parking space with a wide pedestrian. They have many stores and restaurant in here.

Lots of shops for everything you could want or need. A lot of parking. And, of course, a lot of people and cars. The sinage could be better to direct traffic to desired locations. Go with a patient, positive attitude, expecting to interact with lots of people who may not know how to navigate the large parking lot and business layout.

shopping eating out with good friends this place is definitely that place a must visit

It’s a shopping center. I deducted one star for sketchiness. The local unhoused and addicted population occasionally spill over a tiny bit from Mass and Cass, and sometimes there’s a shooting/stabbing/robbery at night. Other than that, great selection of stores and restaurants.

Went to the movies to see the new Transformer. Movie theater air conditioning was not working or they did not turn it on horrible conditions hot like hell. Very uncomfortable conditions some of the seating aisle are very filth

It could honestly be a lot cleaner in the parking lot area. The area between the Newmarket tracks and the stop and shop has many people gathering panhandling. But overall, it is a place to shop, get coffee, and a meal.

Lots of great dining and shopping options here. Also some really neat outdoor seating areas including a small splash park.

I love shopping here since they renovated it. Now they have every kind of store. Target, Home Depot, Best Buy, Marshall's, Panera Bread, Old Navy, Walbergers, Movie Cinema, etc.

Sketchy even in the daytime. Lots of homeless people and drug use. Trash and needles on the ground. Road by Chipotle and AMC is frequently filled with double-parked cars and is best avoided. Convenient for shopping otherwise.

This Plaza is great. It has everything you need, great places to eat, easy access to public transportation, and now we have a movie theater. How perfect can it get!

Very scummy auto/parking mall surrounded by dope fiend encampment, rapidly filling up with aggressive illegal aliens hustling to help you load your car. Retail stores pulling out. Home Depot has put combination locks on the public bathrooms.

Always find parking to my favorite stores! Also loved taking the Commuter Rail there! It would be great to see another restaurant there for Seafood and Chinese food.

Staff was amazing and food was incredible as usual. Joenia was super friendly. Made me smile and felt like I guest in her own home. Someone make sure to give this girl a RAISE!!!
