    Great home fries with tons of vegetables. The salmon and goat cheese omelet was full of dill and herbs & spectacular. I'd come here for brunch any time; no wait like other places in the neighborhood!

    A Cambridge institution. Super friendly family that runs this place, and the best bargain breakfast in Boston. Egg plate with veggies is my go-to. It fills me up for most of the day.

    Good breakfast/brunch/lunch place! I can eat there for breakfast and lunch on the same day. The hot sauce is awesome. I heard the coffee is amazing. A bit small so may not be ideal for large groups.

    They grill their breakfast sandwiches on the flat grill, giving it a grilled-cheese-esque flavor and consistency. All this really means is that the sausage, egg, and cheese is magic.

    The omelets are incredible! Tons of veggies and great flavors. Small restaurant, so go early. Try the homemade hot sauce- yum!

    Best breakfast/lunch spot in Central Square. Really cheap and quality food plus it's family owned. Open until 5 PM and cash only.

    The breakfast sandos are cheesy, Texas toasty heaven! I went bougie and added salmon. Great decision.

    salmon and veggie wrap, no mayo. the heap of "hash browns" will feed you for days. ...and whatever you get, smother it in the special hot sauce!

    Best home fries in Cambridge. Great breakfast food, but extremely slow service. Need to invest in another server.
