On the first and third Sundays of the month, diners can treat themselves to the brunch-meets-barbecue fare from Dorchester Brewing Company’s resident restaurant. The recently launched brunch menu delights with sausage gravy to soak up with buttermilk biscuits, along with mini egg muffins with bacon, cheese, and scallions, and classic buttered grits with shrimp. Book one of the beer flights, with “beermosas” and more, made with DBCo’s brews. 

M&M BBQ, located within Dorchester Brewing Company, is open for indoor and outdoor dining. Takeout orders may be placed online and via telephone.

Harp & Bard is here with another reason to celebrate Friday, with its upcoming launch of Friday brunch in addition to the usual Saturday and Sunday servings. With a focus on homestyle favorites and creative spins on sweet and savory offerings, the restaurant offers enormous pancakes with whipped butter, maple syrup, and fruit. The breakfast pizza is also a popular option, and the bangers and eggs is a chance to taste of bit of Irish cuisine this side of the Atlantic. 

Harp & Bard is open for indoor and outdoor seating, with patio seating available on a reservation basis. Takeout orders are accepted by phone.

Tucked right by the Savin Hill T stop, this coffee shop owned by Dorchester couple Lara and Nicole Miele offers bold cups of coffee and bites to grab on morning commutes, like a classic breakfast sandwich with fried egg. Check out the Pop, Lox & Drop It sandwich, too, which features your choice of bagel (the multi-seed is the best) topped with scallion and dill cream cheese, cucumber, tomato, and slivers of smoked salmon. 

Honeycomb is open for takeout via phone, as well as takeout and delivery via ChowNow.

Looking for meatless meals? Oasis Vegan Veggie Parlor specializes in flavorful vegan cuisine, and its breakfast fare is no exception. Stop in for giant fluffy vegan pancakes served with home fries and vegan “sausage.” You also can’t go wrong with the breakfast box, with a vegan English muffin, spinach, and turmeric home fries. 

Oasis Vegan Veggie Parlor is open for indoor dining and takeout, with delivery offered via Postmates and Grubhub.

Consider this bright spot as your chance to sample brunch by way of Messina — the Sicilian city that chef and owner Nino Barbalace calls home. The evocatively named eggs in purgatory features eggs, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and pesto cooked in a cast iron skillet.

“In Naples this dish is called “ova ‘mpriatorio” because the white of the eggs in the middle of the red of the tomato sauce reminds people of images of souls engulfed in flames,” Barbalace says. His latest offering is a meatball and frittata version of the traditional Sicilian dish called “sciusceddu,” which features eggs, parmesan, ricotta, meatballs, and sage.

Zia Gianna is open for indoor dining and takeout by calling the restaurant.

This Adam’s Village New American favorite hangout dishes scratch-made pub favorites, like stacked burgers and house-smoked meats. Its same creativity spills over into weekend brunch, for breakfast egg rolls with scrambled eggs, shaved steak, Vermont cheddar, plus peppers and onion, along with sweet send-ups of fried chicken paired with sweet potato waffles and peach compote. You don’t need to have overindulged the night before to dive into Lucy’s hangover skillet, either, which serves two overeasy eggs with corned beef, sausage gravy, home fries, and a biscuit. 

Lucy’s is open for indoor dining, with takeout orders accepted by phone.
