Foodies, are you ready to taste test a new dish or find your new favorite restaurant?
The SouthCoast is flooded with great spots to indulge in each week, but it can get a little overwhelming, especially when you are “hangry.”
New Bedford Eats helps you narrow down the list of places to try by bringing you new menu items, food events, and specials popping up all over the area.
This week you can get a grab-and-go stromboli, dig into Sunday Family Take Out meals, or cure your case of the Mondays. If donuts are your thing, you may want to celebrate with the Donut Factory.
Let’s dig into the SouthCoast food scene:
Birthday Bash
It’s been a year since The Donut Factory opened up shop in Dartmouth and they are celebrating in a big way. Head over to 246 State Road, North Dartmouth from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 13 to join in on the fun.

A taste of the South
Kyler’s Catch Seafood Market and Kitchen is bringing you a southern-inspired comfort food all April long. This month’s special in the kitchen is Southern Style Shrimp’n Grits. For $ 14 you will get to indulge in five perfectly fried shrimp, drizzled with creamy grits, with house-made gravy, and served with fried cornbread.
