Love this place. The owner cooks the food and he's an excellent chef. Reasonably priced and extensive menu.

Advertising five egg omelets and presenting something that barely resembles a three egg omelet is a disingenuous. Be better!

This may sound silly but I had the best breakfast sandwich of my life here this morning. Everyone in my 4 person party were thrilled with their choices (3 breakfast sandwiches and a grilled and buttered blueberry muffin and side of sausage) I’m not a big egg fan but the sandwich sounded so good. The eggs were cooked perfectly and balanced with the right amount of meat and cheese. The English muffin was cooked to a perfect crisp. Not only that but EVERYONE working there was so friendly and welcoming. It was our last day in Boston and I only regret not finding this place sooner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I’ll be thinking about that breakfast sandwich for a long time.

When we saw 5 egg omelet, we thought the omelets would be big. Not so much. Very little ham or cheese in mine and the pieces of ham were diced so thin you couldn’t even taste it. The hashbown is just a thin strip of something. The Greek omelet only came with one piece of toast and they charged $1.75 to add tomato when there was just a couple small pieces.

Nice small clean place, hardly anyone there, but give me a break with Boston like prices. 2 breakfast dishes, an omelette and French toast with 1 coffee, total $39(not including tip)? Plus charging $1 for 2 strawberry jam packs?? I know eggs are priced high, I bet owner pays no more than 30-40cents an egg wholesale, low overhead, I understand other expenses, 2 people family run, how can you possibly justify the prices? Food was tasty, omelette looked like a thin French crepe, ehh. I always shop and try to dine local but I think I will take my business outside the city for a better value

Im not sure whats going on with the photos and reviews of this place because they do not accurately reflect the interior of the restaurant or quality of food here. I very rarely go out of my way to write a poor review but I felt scammed coming here.

If you want to eat decent food thats priced fairly do not come here.

I came for lunch during the week and was charged 19.80 for a Reuben sandwich which was priced at 15.00 on the menu. To make matters worse, they were stingy on the amount of food. The sandwich bread was barely toasted and they gave me maybe four thin slices of meat. The sandwich was unnecessarily oily and the fries even more so. I felt like they gave me what was left of the fries at the bottom of the basket bc there were very few fries and they were burnt. The photo I provided is the meal exactly as I received it, but I flipped open the sandwich to show the four slices of meat. The sandwich was mid at best and was too salty.

I understand it’s a tough economy and everything but 20$ for a meal like that was honestly disrespectful. I will be advertising to everyone about how terrible of an experience I had here. Please do better.

I got the steak and eggs which I thought was really good! Krystal was the server and she was really good and attentive. There were belly dancers that came out and performed and it was overall a good experience! I would definitely come back here!

Went here with my wife for the first time a couple days ago and I can say we plan to be regulars now. Ordered the blueberry pancakes which came out quick and my wife had a breakfast burrito which she enjoyed very much. Leo is quick, respectful, and funny all while cooking you a delicious meal.

Leo is a wonderful man, an accommodating host, and professional level cook. He has one of the most underrated and hardest working restaurants here in medford and everyone should give him the respect he deserves. If you are a family, a couple, or even by yourself it’s perfect for everybody. Love this place forever❤️

Went with my fiancé and parents recently. Got there and it wasn't busy at all. Even with this the service was super slow, never asked us if we wanted refills or need anything additional when our meals came out. My moms Mexican omelet was supposed to come with black beans in it...there was a totally of three. When she asked to get a bowl of them on the side since she noticed they gave her a bowl of a total of 8 beans. In the back we could see the waitress talking to the owners and they seemed annoyed by this request. The waitress then scoffed at her when she decided not to eat them as she felt they gave to her the small portion out of spite. She informed the waitress how she felt and the waitress just stood there. Very unprofessional, do not recommend going here. We certainly will not be coming back and I hope others that do go have a better experience.

Super cute local place, the music in the background matches the cute aesthetic. My breakfast was delicious, eggs perfectly made to order, the right amount of hashbrowns with toast and delicious crispy bacon. This will forever be my go to spot ☺️
