raul gutierrezNovember 15, 2019Long 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.
Jason BednarAugust 3, 2014The eggs were perfect, the home fries just spicy enough and the anadama toast was excellent.
Quinton MaFebruary 20, 2016Weekend 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!
Great atmosphere, delicious food and fun, colorful and tasty drinks! Hard not to have a good time.
Conner CharleboisDecember 7, 2015Cheddar cayenne bread is heavenly. Mexican mash is a nice kick in the morning 👌
Kate LJuly 20, 2014Google Maps gets the location completely wrong. It's located in the complex near Tommy Doyle's, not the one with the movie theater
Alex T.July 7, 2012Get the King Cake!! You won't be disappointed! I'm not that big a pancake fan and I think it's awesome
marshall moutenotJuly 7, 2013Get there before 11 or the wait is wild. I got the guy scramble which was delicious!
Anna & Emily are the best, most fun bartenders I've every encountered in all of the Boston area!
Amazing brunch! Great bloodies. Super kitsch. My go to hangover spot
The Orleans Fries define sweet & spicy: crazy good, spicy, and huge serving! Perfect to share with a group
Christine LeeOctober 13, 2012Slow 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!
Mano KatsompenakisMarch 14, 2014Awesome... from the food to the service to the ambiance, this place rocks!
CityRover MediaJanuary 6, 2011Give 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
Ben O'ConnorMarch 16, 2010Full 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.
Stephen PurcellMay 18, 2016The most American breakfast food, including pancakes, sandwiches and eggs- Wow! Ole Miss is a tangy breakfast dish but you can get it for any meal…even includes sweet potatoes!
Philip LeeApril 28, 2013Amazing everytime. Hipsters in service roles are sometimes surly but cool if you add it as part of the experince.
The Ad ClubJanuary 29, 2011Best breakfast in Greater Boston/Cambridge. Get the New Hampshire omelet. Toast is homemade and incredible. Lines can get long
Rebecca SpiewakAugust 25, 2011Yummy eggs,salsa.avacado,poached eggs,cheese and home made bread.Also they did a man vs food at the one in portsmouth.
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.
Home to the only bloody Mary I've ever enjoyed and the best bigger-than-your-face pumpkin pancakes in Cambridge.
Adam DAugust 17, 2014Margarita & a breakfast burrito is the best way to start your Saturday or Sunday
Venkatesh HodavdekarDecember 28, 2010I <3 the mojito milkshake. Decor is awesome. Service is slooooooow as hell, so make sure you have enough time to enjoy the experience.
Great breakfast! And then when you're finished, enjoy a nice morning beer. 🍻
Danielle CMarch 24, 2011I love that they do breakfast all the time!But you definitely have to get the Orleans Fries. SOOOOO Good!
AlfieNovember 12, 2011Food is good, the mojito milkshake is delicious. Get there early though because the wait is absolutely miserable.
The earlier the better on weekends to minimize the wait!
Zellikk KkillezAugust 25, 2017Maybe 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.
Jeremy KrantzAugust 13, 2014Decor is a bit creepy but the good is good. A bit of a greasy spoon but they do serve breakfast all day which is nice.
Carli VelocciOctober 11, 2012The wait can be ridiculous on weekends but it is so worth it for the obscene amounts of original and delicious dishes.
dynamiteFebruary 17, 2012Appreciate their Hitchcocktails! And their gluten-free pumpkin pancakes w/ PB & homemade whipped creamMMM.
If you like mojitos, try the mojito milkshake. No, seriously. It's awesome!
