Eliza DushkuJuly 12, 2013The Ployes (think thin pancakes) are TOPS, buckwheat, vegan/dairy free yet no less delicious, just DO IT. oh & they also have vegan sausage patties here-just not on the menu- that ROCK.
Cedar OliverApril 18, 2014They make their own corned beef hash and it's to die for. Not little cubes from a can but melt in your mouth tender beef, fantastic with eggs and toast.
Jessica HiemenzMarch 15, 2014Lots of vegan items (including new items!) including tofu breakfast burrito, pancakes, tofu eggless curry sandwich, falafel sandwich, pasta, stir fry, soy shakes, etc
Jen CatalanoOctober 25, 2012If I could pay rent on a booth and just never leave, that's be alright by me. Food is amazing, staff friendly, decor perfect, and Deluxe makes excellent people watching. I often draw people here!
Jake SmithNovember 16, 2013Build your own grilled cheese, with such interesting ingredients as avocado, spinach, sliced apple, or a fried egg.
J DunkleeApril 11, 2015Current breakfast special is great: baked eggs and chorizo. Super friendly, attentive staff. Cozy location. Can be crowded Sundays.- Cedar OliverApril 18, 2014Everything on the menu is fantastic EXCEPT the home fries that come with most breakfasts. They are horrible, so substitute a salad or ask for sweet potato fries instead.
Boston.comAugust 4, 2014Serves a state-of-the-art organic burger ($11) made from Kobe beef, with a sweet, juicy flavor that can only come from pampered cows. Read more
Favorite diner. The blue corn pancakes and the dinner specials are great.
Eric AndersenApril 8, 2017Try the Grilled Rachel for lunch…it's a bit messy but definitely delicious
Melis RodriguesFebruary 24, 2015Although not as great as Uncommon Gronds next door its another solid option. Homemade corned beef hash is great!- Anthony D PaulJanuary 1, 2013Make your own omelet is great, as is the roasted half chicken. Paleo folks have several quality dishes to choose from.
- Devon YDecember 18, 2015Great pancakes! Not a terribly creative flavored coffee or late menu. Uncommon grounds feels more hip inside.
Luna La CremeNovember 25, 2014Build your own omelet with lots of options. Call ahead to get on the list ahead of time.
Jeremy KrantzOctober 10, 2014Old-school diner. Slightly run down but still dishes out great pancakes and other breakfast items.
Ninfis SanchezAugust 24, 2013I just come here for the Flap Jacks! Love that they put a triangle piece of watermelon on the side. Just cute.
Melissa RomigApril 5, 2010Mmm mmm mmm. The pancakes (made with sour cream, so they are very fluffy and delicious) are awesome. The place is pretty small, so get there early and don't bring a large party. Read more
- Melis RodriguesFebruary 24, 2015Not as great as Uncommon Grounds but still yummy. Also feature a killer corned beef hash
Melba ToastNovember 17, 2019The food was good and the service was fine once we got in but waited over 45 minutes because we were only a party of 2. Larger parties only had to wait 15 minutes or so as booths freed up.
Christina YungJanuary 9, 2012If you order pancakes or french toast, and get a side of bacon & 2 eggs, it's an additional $5.25. Might as well get a Hungry Person - better value.
Their blueberry pancakes were given a Best of Boston award. That says it all. Expect a wait, but it's worth it, I assure you. Read more
susan bNovember 27, 2013I am from Jersey. I take diner food serious. This is some seriously good diner food.
Mark CampanaleJune 6, 2011Thanks to Geoff and Rachel @reflectionfilms for introducing me to this place! Great Reuben, great micro beer selection. Read more- Alexis JungdahlMarch 12, 2010The Rachel (veggie Reuben) is the best. Well right after the Hungry Person's breakfast, add chocolate chip pancakes!
- Gluten free options! Rhode Island Johnnie cakes are realllyyyyy good
The pancakes and the grilled cheese with avocado are little bits of heaven!
Grilled cheddar cheese on sourdough with avocado. To die for.
BravoNovember 12, 2010Old school diner vibe with fresh, quality food and great service. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts
Rheinheart BenjaminDecember 24, 2014Try the salad instead of homefries--the salad might actually be better
Best award winning blueberry pancakes with Vermont Maple syrup in the Boston area!
BostonTweetNovember 22, 2010The Sweet Potato Pancakes are ridonkulous. Even just typing the phrase "sweet potato pancakes" makes me hungry.
You can choose to get a salad with your omelet in place of the potatoes. Great for those avoiding carbs.
You can park at Watertown Savings Bank on Saturdays after 1pm and all day on Sunday!
Sweet potato pancake, with or with out pecan. Ofcoz check out the tea menu as well.
