Customer Reviews
Usually when you go to breakfast spots, food comes out pretty quick. Well, when you come here, be prepared for a front staff that seems lost, and a kitchen staff so slow you could probably go to wegmans and back with a full van of groceries before they deliver your dish to the table. Was the food worth the wait? No, not in the slightest. Was it worth the price? Not at all.
Breakfast items are always great. Burgers, I prefer mine seasoned, these were not, but cooked the way I asked. Atmosphere is great. Even the bathrooms are clean and decorated with art. Wait staff is always friendly and attentive. They often have movies playing on the TV sets at the bar, but the bartender is willing to change it if you ask.
Love this place but recently the portions are getting smaller and smaller while the prices are staying the same. We orders a Cookie Monster pancake and a kid pancake… both same size one is 5$ more. We were here a couple months ago the pancakes were the main attraction just over powering the plate. You come now they half the size for the same price. Corporate greed.
Friendly Toast, the well known brunch location in Boston, now in many locations. Many excellent choices. I always choose Egg Benedict for brunch, because it is usually the most technical dish. Chicken Le Cordon Bleu benny was delicious, poached eggs were perfectly done. Only issue, the food was very like warm, and the plate was not warm either. Wish it could be hotter.
Started the mimosa flight and Some like it Tot appetizer, both were very good. We had three entrées, the Monster breakfast, Meg’s American burrito, and both came with home fries. Both of those entrées were very good, but I had the Monte Madame which consisted of a French toast croissant stuffed with diced ham and Gruyere Gouda blend and then served with a cheese sauce, topped with an over easy egg, and chipotle sauce. It was DIVOON!!!! I’m still thinking about it. The customer service was wonderful and the interior of the place was eclectic with a great vibe.
