The Ployes (think thin pancakes ) are TOPS, buckwheat , vegan/dairy free yet no less delicious, just DO IT. oh & they also have vegan sausage patties here-just not on the menu - that ROCK.

Cedar Oliver

They make their own corned beef hash and it's to die for. Not little cubes from a can but melt in your mouth tender beef , fantastic with eggs and toast .

Jessica Hiemenz

Lots of vegan items (including new items!) including tofu breakfast burrito , pancakes , tofu eggless curry sandwich , falafel sandwich , pasta , stir fry , soy shakes , etc

Jen Catalano

If I could pay rent on a booth and just never leave, that's be alright by me. Food is amazing, staff friendly , decor perfect, and Deluxe makes excellent people watching . I often draw people here!

Jake Smith

Build your own grilled cheese , with such interesting ingredients as avocado , spinach , sliced apple , or a fried egg .

J Dunklee

Current breakfast special is great: baked eggs and chorizo . Super friendly , attentive staff . Cozy location. Can be crowded Sundays.

Cedar Oliver

Everything on the menu is fantastic EXCEPT the home fries that come with most breakfasts . They are horrible, so substitute a salad or ask for sweet potato fries instead.

Boston.com

Serves a state-of-the-art organic burger ($11) made from Kobe beef , with a sweet, juicy flavor that can only come from pampered cows. Read more

Ari Jones

Favorite diner . The blue corn pancakes and the dinner specials are great.

Eric Andersen

Try the Grilled Rachel for lunch…it's a bit messy but definitely delicious

shifty

Great service and interesting, varied menu In a vintage diner .

Melis Rodrigues

Although not as great as Uncommon Gronds next door its another solid option. Homemade corned beef hash is great!

Anthony D Paul

Make your own omelet is great, as is the roasted half chicken . Paleo folks have several quality dishes to choose from.

Devon Y

Great pancakes ! Not a terribly creative flavored coffee or late menu. Uncommon grounds feels more hip inside.

Luna La Creme

Build your own omelet with lots of options. Call ahead to get on the list ahead of time.

Jeremy Krantz

Old-school diner . Slightly run down but still dishes out great pancakes and other breakfast items .

Ninfis Sanchez

I just come here for the Flap Jacks! Love that they put a triangle piece of watermelon on the side. Just cute .

Melissa Romig

Mmm mmm mmm. The pancakes (made with sour cream , so they are very fluffy and delicious) are awesome. The place is pretty small, so get there early and don't bring a large party. Read more

Steve Birkett

Corned beef hash is a cut above the rest. Decent beer options too.

Melis Rodrigues

Not as great as Uncommon Grounds but still yummy. Also feature a killer corned beef hash

Melba Toast

The food was good and the service was fine once we got in but waited over 45 minutes because we were only a party of 2. Larger parties only had to wait 15 minutes or so as booths freed up.

Christina Yung

If you order pancakes or french toast , and get a side of bacon & 2 eggs , it's an additional $5.25. Might as well get a Hungry Person - better value.

Rob Sheppard

Their blueberry pancakes were given a Best of Boston award. That says it all. Expect a wait, but it's worth it, I assure you. Read more

Jessica Ferron

You can't go wrong with a chili dog and fries !

Eric Andersen

The Sweet Potato Pancakes are ridonkulous. Even just typing the phrase "sweet potato pancakes " makes me hungry.

Breakfast burrito is v good

You can choose to get a salad with your omelet in place of the potatoes . Great for those avoiding carbs.
