I tried rhe pancakes with banana and strawberries cooked inside. Really delicious and one of the best pancakes I've ever tried. Come early so you don't have to wait long in line .

John Doyle

Be patient if there is a wait, it is well worth it. Don't get miffed at their seating policy either, as crazy as it seems it really does work. The staff is very pleasant for such a busy environment!

Simon Kratzer

Wait in line , place your order, get seated. Very performant ! The cobb salad is massive and the pancakes delicious. Add fresh fruits for only 4$.

The best breakfast place in Boston. You have to come here at least once during your visit. My fave is sausage egg with homemade fries and toast .

Historically busy place, worth the wait. Simple yet delicious American breakfast . Very fast service once you get to order.

French toast is really good , the black coffee is so tasty and of course eggs your way is the main thing here. Perfect breakfast spot but it’s a bit crowded

Molly Koonce

Absolute MUST for breakfast . From the refreshing fresh squeezed OJ to the to-die-for, one-of-a-kind caramel banana French toast it is just perfection and should be voted the best bfast in the city !

Ashley Mead

Fresh ingredients make the simple food they serve taste so yummy! Breakfast burrito was perfection. Pancakes looked and smelled wonderful. Come early when you’re not rushed and enjoy the experience!

Richard Revilla

Weekend breakfast line can last 45 minutes as the line forms outside the restaurant and wraps around inside the entire place. There will be a seat for you promise. You'll love the food. Mimosa time.

Kevin Klos

Unique setup. You wait in line , then order, then are seated. It works though and the pancakes & eggs are great! Try it out! This place has been here a long time.

Alex Rainert

Really excellent diner fare for breakfast (pictured: huevos rancheros ) and lunch . It'll look chaotic when you get there. You gotta just get online on trust the system -they run a tight ship in there.

Hector Rodriguez

Any French toast is delicious! Pancakes are different, in a good way, with a little corn flour in them. The salty whipped cream was just outstanding!

Noah DellaPietro

This place is hands down the best place to eat breakfast in boston. The food is cooked right in front of you, service is fantastic, and the food is absolutely incredible!

Enryqwe Lopes

Best breakfast in USA ???????? fresh ingredients , warm welcoming atmosphere. Really the best.

R

Worth it! Be there and try the Caramel French Toast ... You will eat a best brunch food ever..btw, the line can tells how popular the place is ;)

Vul Pecula

A captive audience is a beautiful thing. $9 for two eggs home fries and toast ! Meat & coffee pushes over $15! Take the T to Quincy! You'll have the same, afford the tip and come home with change.

The pancakes were, hands down, the best I've ever eaten. Enjoy the unusual setup (line up, order, get your food, then sit) for the experience that it is. The food was delicious & worth the wait!!

Claudio

The pancakes were great! This place is so cozy and very tasty; also the Belgian waffle and the potatoes were so good!

Leanne Willmot

Banana and caramel French toast is super delicious! The service is amazing and they were very accommodating with us and a baby to say how busy they were.

Jeff Colwell

One of the best breakfast spots of the entire trip. Don’t let the line fool you. It’s worth it!

Jake Smith

Order a side of real Vermont maple syrup for your order. It's worth the extra charge to have the warm, velvety sweetness cascading over your pancakes . I'm being poetic because it's that good.

Jaclyn

Tried the buttermilk pancakes ???? topped with ???? and I was so over the moon about it. I am planning to head back soon ????????????

Heba Abdella

The food was good yet the most impressive thing is the system that they have for ordering and turning tables and also the place has a very vibrant feel and charm to it.

Ariadna Grané

Delicious Brunch !! We had Breakfast Sandwich , Caramel Banana French Toast , Omelet and Vanilla Oreo Smoothy ! Huge line , but it is worth it!!!

R

Brunch fooood! The French Toast with that sweet caramel&fruits on top of it just make you feel like you are in heaven! Highly recommend this place..

Kristina Buenafe

Get the pancakes . I am usually an egg person through and through, but seeing the pancakes on the griddle gave me am uncontrollable craving, so I got one pancake with my eggs . Now I wish I got three!

Hanan Mal

This is one of y favorite breakfast spots in Boston, pancakes are great, Huevos Rancheros is a must at least once

Vanessa Gatlin

(Best of Boston 2013-BEACON HILL ) Improper Bostonian says, "If you've been around since 1937, there's a reason. This casual Charles Street bistro is whatever you want it to be-diner, bar ..."

Danielle Lancashire

French toast with caramel and banana was the best French toast that I've ever had.

Ahmad

I've tried the caramel Banana french toast it was amazing ! Dont miss it

The wait for brunch at this cafeteria-style joint in the historic Beacon Hill area is amply rewarded by malted Belgian waffles or feta cheese , spinach & tomato omelettes . - Green Guide Editor

Deborah Caldwell

It has great food,but very small and the lines are long. They did move pretty fast but you might be left with no place to set for a few minutes. This is no place for a quiet breakfast . Just delicious

Jordi Llobet

I went for dinner . Amazing burger . Order white truffle fries , amazing! The truffled risotto was amazing as well .

Léna Le Rolland

Not exactly what we expected, you have to line up to order your food and then sit. Food was good tho, will definitely be back

Svej O

Someone here said that the owners are "uppity" about the order/pay/get seated system. Constant queue of 50+ people & you're still guaranteed an immediate table. Whoever complains doesn't get it.

omar parra

The omelets are delicious (tomato , basil and mozzarella ) and the caramel banana french toast is soooo good. Totally worth the wait.

Francisco Arrieta

Very good pancakes and french toasts , but not sure the waiting is worth it during the weekends

Hanan Mal

Always love paramount & we still enjoyed the food but our last trip was ruined by a nasty&unprofessional waitress ,arguing with us as we gave her the wrong number of people in our party by mistake..

Sarah SG.

Great food. May seem extremely busy, but the wait isn't that long. Pancakes and French Toast are wonderful.

Cole T

Might be a contender for best breakfast in Boston. Waited in line for 45 minutes. Omelette and fruit were fantastic.

Chantelle Marie

Fantastic pancakes and go with the real maple syrup ! The bacon was a bit too crispy but everything else was delicious.

Amanda

Wonderful for breakfast , brunch , and lunch !! Freshly prepared food right in front of you. Their omelettes are A+

Karena Halvorssen

Best breakfast ever; they have pancakes and waffles and the greatest omlettes you will taste. Bacon lovers will rejoice

Gabriela Grossmann

Chocolate chip pancakes and egg , cheese and bacon bagel sandwich ! Loved the place!

Cian Mac Mahon

Amazing blueberry pancakes - stump up the extra few dollars for the Canadian Mabel syrup for sure. The house fries are great too.

A S

Second experience at Paramount wins hand down! Both, the chicken tacos and the omelette with guacamole , were absolutely delish.

Kevin Weise

Love a diner . Hard to choose what to get but the Grilled Steak Fajitas & Eggs knew the assignment. It was good.

Reinaldo Deliz Guzman

If it's the first time here definitely go for the pancakes (personal favorites combination of Banana and chocolate chips )

alethia

Be patient and prepare to wait in line quite a bit. Blueberry pancakes and Vanilla Oreo milkshake are delicious!

Amber

Long lines , but worth the wait. French toast , pancakes , huevos rancheros all on point.
