16 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Boston

“The best place for lunch in Boston! Don't miss the Turkey #2 sando; the Turkey #1 is also very good and tasty. It’s the only place we ate at twice during the week we visited Boston. The service was nice in general, and especially the guy taking orders was helpful and kind. I don't know his name, but I know his brother is also named Jorge.“

“The mimosas are amazing!!“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“I expected more than corned beef out of a can from the description on the menu. The home fries were cold. Good sized portions and the service was adequate. We chose another breakfast place for the next day. Great location, though, in a walkable neighborhood .“

“The breakfast sandwiches from here are sooo good and its even better that you can customize all of them too... for me- this place is up there in the best spots to eat in Boston. So flavourful with flexible and personable staff, reasonable prices and a relaxing atmosphere to sit by the window and enjoy.“

“It was over fifty years ago. I was a young boy and the Silver Slipper was run by a large, very lovely woman named Mary (Long gone, now.) I don't know who runs it now but I always went in for the hot dogs. They had the best hot dogs ever. It was another era.“

“We were recently staying in Boston and had planned to visit The Thornton as it was nearby to our hotel. We were impressed with the service and more importantly the food and ended up visiting three out of the four mornings that we were in Boston. Highly recommend visiting.“

“I have been going to Maryann's for a while. Its a local breakfast and lunch place. All the food is cooked to order by Bob the Owner. I usually go for Breakfast but Lunch items are available as well. It is usually a 1 person operation except for Saturdays when Georgia usually works as a Server. Coffee is freshly brewed and very tasty. it is cash only but the gas station across the road has an ATM. Give them a try.“

“No mind blowing “vibes” but food and quickness of it being ready are 100. Cash only. Went to Mike and Patty’s in high rise and they had no bacon so we left and found this place. 2 egg, toast, homefries and bacon with coffee for two was $20. Total. Hells yeah and ready by the time the change hit my hand.“

“When I lived in Dorchester, I could hardly believe how old this is. Build 84 years before this became a country outstanding! There are a lot of historical buildings in Boston, they are a must-see when you visit. Just try to street clear of the Mass ave nonsense.“

“The BYO lox bagel. Btw not an issue at all that the toppings were on the side. It was 10/10 the best I’ve ever had. Came with the right amount of everything so if you wanted more or less, it was up to you. Ofc onion, tomato and capers. Suggest with jalapeño cheddar and scallion CC. Cant wait to show my sister this place. I know she’d love it too.“

“Indoors great service love 💕 the service“

“Fabulous food, Italian coffee, breakfast sandwich and friendly atmosphere of this coffee shop. Delicious egg sandwiches! Customer service is awesome. Owner and cook, waitresses all excellent!“

“Not sure what the negative reviews are about...

This location is fantastic. My dad and I ate here on New Years Day. It was pretty busy for a holiday and considering the weather was bad. I got the original pancakes and I'm not sure what my dad got. Food was fantastic, literally the best pancakes I've ever had. Service was also very good. I'm definitely coming back.

I think some people just love to complain. No complaints from me. We were in and out in under 40 minutes. Food is delicious“

“From the time my husband and I walked in we were greeted well, which is important to me because if I’m spending my hard earned money somewhere treat me like you want me there! We came for the breakfast and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere and the service were great! The food presentation was excellent and tasted delicious! This is all around a great place to eat. This place will definitely be a staple for us.“

“This was so much better than last year. The food & drink choices were interesting & tasty. This year's musical entertainment was outstanding! The move to ordering & paying by QR Code made life so much easier. We didn't have to try getting the attention of the servers. They cleared away dirty items (which they did not do last year). I did notice servers standing around talking with each other while we were waiting to be served. But one server jumped right on it after I mentioned it. So everything was better. Can't wait to return. Ok - I returned the next night. Different band so a different vibe. This was even better. The service was better. You've really improved the customer experience so thank you. If I lived anywhere near Boston I would be a regular customer. Great job. I look forward to being in attendance next year.“
