“Genuinely the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had and up there with some of my all time favorite things I’ve ever eaten. It’s very clear the owner puts so much effort, love, and care into making really delicious and hearty food.

Can’t recommend enough!

It is important to note that it’s take out only, but you’re right in Davis so the location could not be more perfect for sitting in the shade to enjoy your treats :)“

“This was my Daughter's birthday weekend and we wanted to Take her to one of the places that Guy Fieri Visited for DDD...making memories. What we got was so much more. Truthfully the Best dining experience we have EVER experienced. The hostess was super friendly and immediately made accommodations due to the fact that I am currently in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was astonishing!!! The food...we truly cannot say enough good things about an are planning when to take the trip from Vermont again to get more. We were blown away . However the highlight of our evening hands down was our Server Kevin!!! He made my Daughter's night ...focused on making her smile and gave her a piece of cheesecake to celebrate. We will remember this forever and simply cannot thank you enough“

“In town for our 20th wedding anniversary and decided to give Earls a try. So glad we did. The food and the atmosphere were great. However, what truly made the evening extraordinary was the service. Our waitress, Jennifer, was spectacular. She took the time to walk us through the menu, made excellent recommendations, and just showed an interest in making sure our dinner was perfect. And for an extra, she provided us with a wonderful dessert on the house.

Also want to make a special mention to one of the managers, Mimi. Mimi greeted us as we sat down and brought us complimentary champagne to celebrate our anniversary. She was so professional and just an overall kind soul. It is evident that she loves her job and goes out of her way to ensure all of Earls customers receive excellent service.

Like I said, the food was fantastic, but the service here at Earls is second to none. Thank you both for a wonderful and memorable evening. Will definitely return and will recommend to our friends.“

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!“

“First time at Olde Magoun's Saloon. Beyond amazing food and service. Our waiter ( didn't catch him name) tall gentleman with a beard was phenomenal! Friendly and efficient!!! The food was savory and fresh. We enjoyed the Irish Chicken Curry and the Besto Pesto sandwich!! First time to Boston and by far our favorite meal here.“

The staff is so friendly (I enjoyed nerding out about loving Kyle Maclachlan ) 😂 and it really makes being in the city so cozy. The playlist is spot on, and the menu and drinks are so to the show! Last night was my second time and it felt like I’ve been going there forever. Will definitely check out hopefully post Covid!“

“Best breakfast you can get around Somerville and Cambridge! There challah French toast and eggs benne are to die for! Highly recommended! Jefferson and the staff are incredibly helpful and accommodating. Don't look anywhere else, amazing breakfast and lunch!“

“Great food and great staff. I'm a bit of a wing snob and these were some of the best wings I've ever had. I was told to try the steak tips and they did not disappoint. My only complaint is I live 14 hours away so I can't come back as soon as I want.“

“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.“

“Assembly Row is well complimented by Lucky Strike of Somerville* Great location with free parking in the adjacent garage. Well lit entrance with a lounge that welcomes you right in. Stairway to your right leads up to the fun & entertainment* Plenty of games to enjoy INCLUDING DDR! (iykyk*) Bowling lanes are dimly lit to set the vibe. Drink and snack menu provided with great options. Passed the bowling are more interactive games to play and a Large sit down bar, which has Plenty of screens to watch live games. You can also kick back on the comfy sofas there too* Great place for a date, a function or just a great time.“

“Best restaurant in assembly and it isn’t even close! So excited that they’re open again. The new Eggplant Rollatini is so so good and the chicken wings are by far the best in the Boston area. Love what they did with the renovations. So cool to see the open kitchen!“
