Caribbean kitchens on Blue Hill Avenue
Mattapan’s restaurants are mostly small, family-owned and Caribbean, and they line Blue Hill Avenue through Mattapan Square, where River Street and Cummins Highway come in. Many serve takeout as well as sit-down plates, so a kitchen here moves between the stove, the counter and the phone.
The work is cooking, prep, dishwashing and taking orders. Because the places are small, a single worker often covers several of these jobs in a shift. The neighborhood has few coffee shops or bars, so for café or bar work, Route 28 runs up Blue Hill Avenue to Nubian Square, where there are more restaurants.
Mattapan station, where the trolley and several bus routes end, is beside the square, so restaurant shifts here are usually a walk from a stop. Fairmount Line trains stop at Blue Hill Avenue and Morton Street stations, for workers coming from Dorchester, Hyde Park or downtown.
