49 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Roxbury

“Haven’t been here in YEARS, still the gem in Roxbury. This Black owned breakfast spot allows you to pull up and enjoy a home cooked breakfast with affordable and reasonable prices. I would absolutely recommend this spot. The sweet tea was too sweet so they made me half and half which was good!
Wish the place was a little updated but with prices like this I will definitely be back 🙂👍🏾“

“Breakfast newbie, heard great things, went, ordered of a limited yet varietal menu, sat outside in first come first serve seats, food made to order was out with minimal wait, delivered to our table. Theenu is primarily breakfast sandwiches, some with an Italian flair (foccacciabread for example). Limited GF options but they offered a corn wrap. The food is very good, the staff is friendly, and a good place to have a quick bite for breakfast“

“Walked in Saturday lunchtime, our party of two got in faster than they predicted, maybe within 10 minutes. Great food and service. Large parties were getting hour plus wait times, so beware.“

“The type of breakfast sandwich that really gets me out of bed on a weekend. Would love for them to open a location in back bay (please) but I'm willing to traverse multiple blocks for this. It can get super busy but I ordered online ahead of time. No seating but could easily sit on a stoop or the curb or a bench nearby because it's in a cute neighborhood too. The Fancy sandwich is a top 2 contender for my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Boston“

“One of the best places to get a sandwich. The ruby melt was so good! Also, the English muffins are amazing here. They are made with fresh olive oil. Lastly, the staff are very nice and polite. In particular Johnathan made me feel welcome. Insisting on selling (!) but I like good salesperson!“

“On the slightly pricier side for a takeout (there is no sitting area and even standing to order or wait was a little tight). Service was fast and friendly. Food was nice and pleasant- not life changing. I would definitely revisit if near but not smth I would make a special trip for“

“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 .“

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

“The grilled crack was delicious. I just moved to Somerville and this was a great first impression. I give 3 stars for service because there really isn’t any, you order at a machine. It’s located in a market so cool area to check out“

“Breakfast sandwiches are okay. Bacon is thicker and chewy- not crispy. Bread is toasted well. I did ask for my sandwich well-done, and it was just toasted okay. I would imagine they’re not usually toasted well. The best part about the “crack” sandwich was all of the gooey cheese. It saved the whole meal. Who can go wrong with a grilled cheese? Egg was fried perfectly, and just a bit runny. Wish the bacon was better and the sandwich had a little seasoning. It was very plain. The cheese made it, really. But like I said, they really couldn’t go wrong with all of the cheese they put in there.“

“Very friendly atmosphere and accommodating to our youngest who is wheelchair bound. Nice little spot with a mom and pop feel to it. Food was very tasteful and service was wonderful! Great tasting coffee and prices are affordable, great little find. :) Will definitely be back if ever in the area again.“

“Went a few weeks ago Saturday morning and went back again today, 12/28 in the morning. Good food and service. However there are only 4 booths and high stools. I can’t sit on a high stool and I know that someday there won’t be any tables available. Otherwise great place.“

“The #1 of best diner 🍽 I've had the pleasure 😍of enjoying everything I've ever order there🤗. More years to come and more to eat😋.“

“This place really is a gem! Awesome atmosphere, GREAT food- everything we had from the Benedict, waffles, smash burger, and the crazy deserts all were so good!

Also I HAVE to mention Paulina! Our server was out of this world! Our entire table all unanimously agreed she was the best waitress we’ve ever had.

Even if everything else wasn’t as on point as it was we’d come back just to have her as a server!

A++++“

“Probably the best food south of Boston, don't be fooled by the hidden location.“

“delicious banana splits and fruit dessert deliciosas banana splits y postres de frutas“

“Visiting the Boston area and found this gem, randomly. All I can say is wow, wow, wow! If you are in the area and want to find a local gem, this is the place. If you can't find something to eat here, you really are trying to not to find something. The service, amazing! And that's an understatement, from the moment we walked in all the way to the end, friendly, on top on everything even as busy as it was. Has that small town homey feeling and every guest valued. Like I said, if you are in the area and this is a must go to and try.“

“I was getting some work done on my car nearby and needed to kill a half hour or so. Kind of hidden/not super noticable from the outside, very cute pharmacy counter inside with a lot of cheap breakfast options. They are cash only (there's an ATM, $2 fee at time of posting).

I just got scrambled eggs with bacon and toast, SUPER reasonably priced, mostly older folks were there, eating and chatting or playing Keno.

The other patrons and the staff were all super chatty and kind. I honestly had a delightful time, if I lived closer I'd find excuses to come by all the time, great vibes.“

“CLASSIC CAFE OFFERS DELICIOUS BREAKFAST/LUNCH AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES. THE CAFE HAS A WARM, NEIGHBORHOOD ATMOSPHERE. THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING.“

“Can’t talk this place up enough amazing old school authentic Italian and a very warm environment whether your looking for a nice cup of coffee or a chicken parm sangy the workers over here always do it right. Killer Sicilian pizza as well!“

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“We just spent the last week in Washington DC, eating all sorts of things from various cuisines - this breakfast takes 1st place. Absolutely amazing, and worth a stop in. The staff is beyond friendly, a breath of fresh air from some of the stuffer persons we've encountered on our trip. The food was delicious - my wife got the eggs Benedict with crab cakes I don't even like crab cakes, and I kept stealing bites, it was that good. 11/10.“

“I love this little mom and pop cafe. It's small and comfy, the owners are very nice and the food is always good and fresh. Good coffee!
They only take cash and don't have wifi but it just gives you time to relax and enjoy your food🥰“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“Had a great breakfast, maybe the best homefries ive had great flavor and the potatoes still had integrity and bit , a lot of places they are too mushy and soft ! These were awesome“

“We recently tried Sunnyside Up (in Weymouth, MA) and it completely blew us away. It’s a small, diner-style breakfast and lunch spot with a really welcoming feel.
Parking was easy with a lot right next door (in a Car Detailing lot, next door). From the moment we walked in, the service was quick, friendly, and attentive.
The food was outstanding. The bagel egg and cheese with turkey sausage was done perfectly, and the homemade fries, hash and eggs with hollandaise sauce outstanding.
This place exceeded our expectations. Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. Highly recommend.“

“I'm working at a horrible construction job. the highlight of my day is going to Sam's restaurant. the coffee's hot and all the waitresses I've met are extremely personable and willing to make your stay as comfortable as possible.“

“I’ve been coming to this deli for 13 years and I order the same thing regularly. It’s not even a menu item, so I’ve always been charged based on what goes into it, and the price has been consistent every time I’ve ordered it.

Today, I was charged significantly more than usual. I still paid it because I assumed prices may have gone up. The issue started when I simply mentioned that the price was different than what I normally pay.

The employee immediately became loud, rude, and confrontational. He claimed he was giving me a discount today, even though I never asked for one and was willing to pay the price. I was only pointing out that the amount was different than what I had always been charged before.

What should have been a simple conversation turned into an unnecessary scene. After being a customer for 13 years, I found the way I was spoken to completely disrespectful and unprofessional.

What bothered me most was feeling singled out and humiliated in front of other customers over a simple comment about the price. Whether that was his intention or not, that’s how the interaction made me feel. After 13 years of supporting this business, this experience has convinced me not to return.“

“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.“

“Let’s talk about the Greatness that is called “The Grill & Eye!” I was home on a visit and as always I try to engage a new restaurant. As my Bestfriend lives in Weymouth, I stumbled across The Grill & Eye on Yelp and we decided to go for breakfast. Before even getting there, the pictures I saw had me ready to eatttttttttttt. The location was super easy to find as it sits directly on the main road. Parking is scarce, however, there is street parking available and we were able to grab a good spot. Yaay! Walking in, the ambiance is super homely and gives the feel of a mom & pops kind of restaurant. It’s small and quaint, however, they have made great use of the space. The waitress at the counter was very inviting and welcomed us with a huge smile and friendly Welcome In. As it is a seat yourself setup, we decided to sit near the back wall. Once seated the waitress was at our table immediately. She presented us with the menus and took our drink order. OhEmGee! Let’s talk about the menu. There is no shortage of options whatsoever! The variation of food options truly make it a hard decision to figure out what you want. I’m all for ordering the entire menu, lol. In all seriousness, the menu is amazing and there is something for everyone regardless of what you have a taste for. I decided to order the platter with 2 Pancakes, Bacon, Sausage Links, and Eggs. As I don’t eat eggs, I was excited that I was able to swap out my eggs for grits. It’s the small things in life that mean the most. LoL! Once our order was placed, the excitement increased and we were ready to eat. Seeing the other orders come out for the tables around us truly increased the anticipation. Ha! Lucky for me, the food didn’t take long at all. Everything was out in a timely manner and every single item on the plate was fresh. Speaking of fresh, all of the meat was quality cuts and the grits were real grits. The food was not only fresh but it was flavorful. The sweet to salt ratio provided by the pancake syrup and meat really made every single bite a mouth pleasing, flavor rewarding experience. The bacon was crispy and meaty. The pancakes were fluffy and a perfect size as they almost covered the entire plate. The sausage was flavorful and not too greasy, and best of all, the grits were not too watery or too stiff. The water to grit ratio was spot on and the natural grit flavor wasn’t overpowered by the butter, yet the butter was present and added to the creamy smooth texture that was accomplished. Overall I am overjoyed by my meal, the service, and the pricing at The Grill & Eye and I will be returning the next time I’m home for a visit.“

“Your bagels are delicious!“

“Ordered Chicken Cesar Salad with Bacon! This place has amazing vibes, very clean and the chicken was made to order.

Overall the food was well cooked and presented!

Been hearing about this place over a decade and finally stopped by! Thank you for the service and for making my lunch today! ❤️“

“Great little spot we found today! My daughter had a delicious salad and I had the fish sandwich! Very good, clean and friendly service!“

“Went for breakfast with my husband and grandmother. The server was super friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and to our surprise, large portions and delicious! I loved the French Toast! Highly recommend!!“

“Ugh okay. So I really like this place. They have great specialty coffees and great breakfast sandwiches. BUT I ordered lunch the other day and was highly disappointed when I got a Caesar salad with chicken and paid $20 for this…. Very disappointing.“

“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“

“The Skillet has Delicious Food at great prices. The Service is Excellent and the all the staff are very friendly. Try it out. Breakfast on Saturday mornings is a great start to weekend. Try it, you will love it anytime.“

“When ever go Maguon Somerville dunkin donuts good smile good service & good enviornament see there.I like it“

“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 worlds largest Breakfast menu. Everything made from scratch and the staff makes you feel like Family.“

“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!“

“Small neighborhood greasy spoon diner with generous portions and an excellent breakfast menu. Numerous daily specials including omelets, stuffed French toast and benedicts. I had the William Wallace omelet with fresh apples inside for a sweet savory and my girlfriend had one with avocado, broccoli and spinach. Service was polite and self service coffee was available. Not necessarily a destination for brunch but a nice place if you live in the neighborhood.“

“Love this place, close, convenient, friendly staff, busy, comfort food..great menu😋“
