“Small old timey diner with good basic breakfast fair. We were a party of 2 adults and 3 kids and were seated right away. They only have small booths and bar seating so don't show up with more than 4-5 people or you'll be out of luck. Kids french toast and pancakes came out really quickly and were enjoyed! The turkey club was nothing amazing but hit the spot. Total bill was very reasonable for what we ordered. Will come again!“

“Loved this spot in Waltham for rainy day lunch! This was our first time and really enjoyed the food and the overall experience. Build Your Own Burgers was my favorite. And they have good crafts beer offerings too. We live within walking distance and are considering this as our favorite walkable lunch spot for the summer.“

“Once again, my fave in Waltham did not disappoint. Had Dinner on Saturday with my wife and two friends. Made early reservations but the place was packed with Head of the Charles people. I held low hopes as with that amount of people, things usually get screwed up. They did not! Everything came out on point PERFECT! My wife loves tapas style dining, so we shared Tuna Tacos, Short Rib Tacos, Crab Cakes, and Tuna Poke. Everything was amazing. There was a great vibe in the room, and we had an awesome table up front. Our waitress was fantastic, the drinks were great, and we had a great time. Thank you once again for a fantastic evening!!! May be back tonight :)“

“This was my first time trying this restaurant and the food was delicious and melt in my mouth feeling. My friend had been here before and we had the same waitress as the friend had used before. The staff was friendly and helpful with any of the needs we needed. There was also a space to eat outdoors if we wanted to and had various music playing as we ate and nice to hear. Had a great first visit and will come back to try something else once again.“

“A quick drive from the nearby Westin, this is a lovely low key spot if you’re looking for a nice sit down spot.The crab pie was moist and buttery, with a lovely breaded top that mixed well with the meat. The leftover oils made excellent dipping sauce for the steak.The sirloin was definitely lacking in flavor, but was cooked perfectly. A little salt and pepper and you’ll be right as rain.The arancini appetizer was the perfect thing to whet the appetite, highly recommend, as it was very rich in flavor and had a pleasingly gooey texture.Would definitely stop here again.“

“Oh God, the food is so good. They make the dish that I would say, after weeks of evaluation, is the best thing I have ever eaten. The food is 100% a reason to visit, but it checks all the boxes for me. Staff is warm, regulars are nice and chill, it's open and bright, they do events, good cocktails, and plenty of TVs. If it had a pool table I'd ask to move in or possibly propose marriage to the chef.“

“Unexpectedly very good! Dropped a teenage grandchild off at school on a Sunday before the h.s. spring musical and drove off to downtown Waltham to look for a quick lunch. Parked in a nearly empty town parking lot (2 hrs for $2., a real bargain to us New Yorkers). Walked to Moody St., as usual no reservations, just yelp and hope. The first place we came to on the corner was BTT, looked like some decent vegetarian possibilities on the menu, so we went in. Took a couple of minutes but they did find seats for us (& it didn't fill up in the nearly an hour we were there, so not sure why they consulted over their reservations, but whatever). I ordered the avocado toast and added the 2 sunnyside up eggs option, thinking just avo toast wouldn't fill me, but I even told Niko, our server, that it was probably the best or definitely one of the best avocado toast dishes I've ever had (& it's a favorite of mine so I've had a few!). Two thick slices of a good rustic bread, chunky mashed avocado, greens, and then those perfect eggs - sooo delicious! The decaf coffees were fresh and good. Hubs had their black bean burger with fries and said it was really very good. There's an extensive beer menu, the place is pretty big, it's a college town, and we're guessing it's hopping in the evening, especially on weekends. Can't speak to that, but can say we had an amazing lunch!“

“Amazingly delicious pub fare. Burgers are fantastic, and the normal size of the pattie is 8 Oz. Fried chicken sandwich is just delicious. Beers are cold. Plus, it's one of the few places these days that serves food late. As an observation, it wouldn't kill the bartender to smile once in a while.“
