Amazing brunch! Great bloodies. Super kitsch. My go to hangover spot

All the food is excellent and, since my last tip, service quality has gone way up.

Give the hula-hoop a rest and try the “Ol Miss Breakfast” – thick-cut toast topped with sausage (real or veg.), mashed chipotle sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, and mango sour cream. Read more
Carli VelocciOctober 11, 2012
The wait can be ridiculous on weekends but it is so worth it for the obscene amounts of original and delicious dishes.
Amy DavidsonSeptember 4, 2014
Booze milkshakes and the cayenne cheddar toast! Be careful of the line on weekends- usually at least an hour long
Ryan NixonJuly 2, 2016
Chicken and waffles have a nice southwestern twist. Cool coffee cocktails

Awesome breakfast place, but don't overlook the cocktails if you come later in the day—or in the morning, if that's your thing.
Philip LeeApril 28, 2013
Amazing everytime. Hipsters in service roles are sometimes surly but cool if you add it as part of the experince.
Patrick HaneyMarch 26, 2012
The food is pretty fantastic, but avoid the Friendly Toast like the plague on Sundays for brunch. There's almost always an hour plus wait for a table.
Kate LJuly 20, 2014
Google Maps gets the location completely wrong. It's located in the complex near Tommy Doyle's, not the one with the movie theater
Rachel MercerMay 15, 2012
There is a RedBull milkshake and a Pop-Rocks cocktail. Sugar fiends need search no more. Also one of the *musts* if you're visiting from out of town.
Conner CharleboisDecember 7, 2015
Cheddar cayenne bread is heavenly. Mexican mash is a nice kick in the morning 👌
Mano KatsompenakisMarch 14, 2014
Awesome... from the food to the service to the ambiance, this place rocks!

The Orleans Fries define sweet & spicy: crazy good, spicy, and huge serving! Perfect to share with a group
Leah SchatzJanuary 4, 2015
Their bread is amazing; fresh and homemade. Always a special bread too!
Stephen PurcellMay 18, 2016
The most American breakfast food, including pancakes, sandwiches and eggs

Not as great as the late-night original location in Portsmouth, but I still love their Guy Scramble more than words can say - this sentence is me trying and failing gloriously.
Ben O'ConnorMarch 16, 2010
Full of awesome and made of win. Try the mojito frappe. The King Cakes are a delicious challenge (pancakes, peanut butter, whipped cream, bacon) to finish an entire serving of.
raul gutierrezNovember 15, 2019
Long waits. Worth it? Not really for me. While the food is fine (big sloppy omelettes, sandwiches, burritos and other breakfasty foods, I'm not really a fan of this kind of crowded tourist attraction.
marshall moutenotJuly 7, 2013
Get there before 11 or the wait is wild. I got the guy scramble which was delicious!

Wow! Ole Miss is a tangy breakfast dish but you can get it for any meal…even includes sweet potatoes!

The pancakes here are huge and delicious.
ClaudiaMay 15, 2016
Cool vibe, friendly and quirky staff. Large menu.
Alex T.July 7, 2012
Get the King Cake!! You won't be disappointed! I'm not that big a pancake fan and I think it's awesome

Sunday “drunch”: Wash down the Drunkard’s French Toast (doused in Grand Marnier and raspberry) with a killer mimosa. - CBS Boston Read more

Get there EARLY for Sunday brunch. The wait can be tough. Hope it is worth it.

Anna & Emily are the best, most fun bartenders I've every encountered in all of the Boston area!
Barbara KallasAugust 12, 2014
I like the mint hot chocolate and all of the food is made well.

If you like mojitos, try the mojito milkshake. No, seriously. It's awesome!
Christine LeeOctober 13, 2012
Slow service but good food. HUGE portions I'll order a half size next time. Salmon benedict good but not crazy about all the sauce. The bread here is great!
Joseph SilversAugust 17, 2015
The huevos rancheros are delicious, and the coffee is tasty.
The Ad ClubJanuary 29, 2011
Best breakfast in Greater Boston/Cambridge. Get the New Hampshire omelet. Toast is homemade and incredible. Lines can get long
Adam DAugust 17, 2014
Margarita & a breakfast burrito is the best way to start your Saturday or Sunday
Olga K.May 20, 2015
Not only great food but you can buy tickets to the movies directly here.

Great breakfast! And then when you're finished, enjoy a nice morning beer. 🍻
Zellikk KkillezAugust 25, 2017
Maybe I made a wrong choice but I did not like my toast : Egg, zucchini, salmon and sauce on two pieces of big slices of bread. Side home potatoes too salty and too spicy.
Constantin WDecember 6, 2018
Good place for a rich brunch!
Quinton MaFebruary 20, 2016
Weekend wait was just over an hour for table for two. Don't see what all the hype is about. Ole Miss plate was way sweeter (and filling) than I had hoped. Decent pricing and service though!

The ole miss is where it's at. Do yourself a favor and wait for a seat. It's worth it.
Emrecan DOctober 7, 2015
Great food but be ready to wait in the line to be seated.
Danielle CMarch 24, 2011
I love that they do breakfast all the time!But you definitely have to get the Orleans Fries. SOOOOO Good!
Pete Karl IIJune 7, 2013
Everything is amazing. Also huge. You probably don't need that app...
JoryMarch 14, 2014
You should get Owen's Home Fries. You will not be disappointed.
dynamiteFebruary 17, 2012
Appreciate their Hitchcocktails! And their gluten-free pumpkin pancakes w/ PB & homemade whipped creamMMM.
AlfieNovember 12, 2011
Food is good, the mojito milkshake is delicious. Get there early though because the wait is absolutely miserable.
Nancy DarmodyAugust 3, 2013
Pancakes are big.. one is great .. homefries crispy and yummy
Rebecca SpiewakAugust 25, 2011
