I've been going to this cafe before it changed ownership back in the early 2000s. Their benedicts always taste flavorful and delectable, but I had a bad experience with an omelette. It was very oily and it kept dripping down; the omelette didn't keep its form like my sister's or brother in law's. I'll try them again for an omelette again because I really like Craig's and I'm sure it won't be an issue next time. The potatoes needed salt and a little more time on the stove because they were a bit raw. The highlight of the meal was the Portuguese Sweet Roll :) I have a soft spot for Portuguese sweet rolls all the time and it's so damn good the way it was served at Craig's. Their coffee flavors are the bomb! I believe it's the Harvard Square blend that I got and LOVED IT!! read more

Came here based on the reviews. Very disappointed. Food was ok. What bothered me most was the cleanliness. The plate that my food came on was poorly cleaned with stains and a small piece of hair. The bathroom is in the back so you can see how messy things were in the kitchen, etc. Won't be coming back. read more

I had the Irish benedict which was poached eggs over corned beef hash and English muffins and one pancake on the side. The benedict was delicious and the hash outstanding. The pancake was a bit pasty and undercooked. I wish the syrup was real. Their coffee needs a lot of help. I had the decaf which was awful. read more

I was initially excited to visit this restaurant. I read the reviews and it seemed to be pretty good! I got here and was greeted immediately, he was friendly. It took our waiter 10 minutes to get to the table, finally a very young guy came to the table, it was busy so I wasn't too upset. We were never brought water that we were told was coming. The waited FOURTY minutes for pancakes and a burrito! I asked the woman behind the counter if our food was almost ready. Seconds later she brought our food. Makes me wonder if it was just sitting there. Price point is great, pancakes taste like bisquick. read more

Husband and I really tried to support this local business but unfortunately the stories of bad service are true. Until this changes we won't be back. read more

Love this place!! I wasn't a big fan of the breakfast (Eggs Benedict) the first time we went but I got a salad the second time and it was legit. There were four of us and everyone who ordered from the lunch menu raved about their food but the one person who ordered breakfast (Irish breakfast) didn't like his. I got the Craig's salad and it was fresh and delicious. We sat outside on the patio which was lovely but they wouldn't let us order a beer out there (not their fault, just something to take into consideration when choosing a table). I would absolutely recommend this place for lunch. read more

Craig's Cafe - Craig's salad=amazing! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Stopped here for breakfast before heading to Newport RI. We like local establishments and the reviews for Craig's Café were very good. Some construction confused our GPS but we found it, but parking was another story. Once inside, the place was very busy and we got the last table. The service left a little to be desired (I hope it wasn't the fact I was wearing a Yankee t-shirt in Boston) but the food and portions were excellent. I like coffee and they have a varied selection to choose from, but it was a self serve bar (a little getting up and down is good for your, right). Did I mention the service was a little slow. The place isn't very large, and the food was very good, as was the coffee. read more

Best breakfast in Quincy hands down. Also, the lunch is delicious. Bacon mushroom hash is a go to. If you're looking for great breakfast or lunch on the cheap this is your spot! Great home cookin' and great atmosphere!! Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

We sat for over 30 minutes without anyone coming over. Giving it the 2 stars because the s'mores coffee was delicious. I left before we even got a chance to order. read more

Good prices. Got the basic bacon, eggs, potatoes and toast breakfast; more than satisfactory. Has an authentic community feel.

Went there for the first time today and it was excellent! My burger was delicious and a great value and my friend's spinach and feta omelet looked amazing as well! Looking forward to patronizing this local Quincy establishment more! read more

Best deal in the area. Great selection and fair prices. Plus the owner is the man. Highly recommended.

Craig's Cafe recently changed owners and I am happy to say that the food has gotten even better. The new owner has already made a few changes - like repainting - and is working on getting wi-fi and some comfy seating to attract more business. Today, I had a panini with turkey, apple slices, cranberry mayo and cheese and it was DELICIOUS! Very excited to see Craig's get even better:) read more

I love this place! We come here for brunch on the weekends. The coffee is self serve and if your favorite is out just let the staff know, they'd be glad to fill it up. I'm giving 4 stars because the wait times can be long and the service can be lacking depending on the server but the food is great. I've only had 1 bad experience and it was because the pancakes and sausage were burnt. Meg is a great server! The Eggs Benedict and Debs Healthy Start are my go to! I've been told this place has been renovated in recent years. It offers a very laid back environment in Quincy center that is right across from the T. Pets are welcome outside (I love sitting outside they have umbrellas too) and they even have water bowls for your pet. Definitely a locals spot and the prices are cheap. read more

The service here is the worst I've had in the 6 years I've lived in the states. I really don't put to much emphasis on service as I know in a breakfast place they're always busy and just there to get the food out. However we waited 20 minutes for a coke, all the drip coffee had run out and we weren't served our food for 40 minutes. The French toast was inedible, in fairness they did take it off the tab. Please do not waist your hard earned money here. read more

Service sucked Came with My Daughter an she runnin round an wht ever an still Can't get service it's like you gotta get up an physically go to them, Dnt know why All I Wanted was an extra plate so my kid could put her fries an ketchup on instead of putting it on her eggs,bacon,toast or w.e but gave a tip lost a Customer‍ read more

It's a very casual place to just relax and enjoy your food. The service and food was great. I had the combo: pancakes, home fries, ham and eggs. Everything was delicious. Toasted almond iced coffee was also really good. read more

What a great hidden gem this place is!! We were looking for a different place to have breakfast other than our regular go to and followed this place by it's high yelp reviews! I was pleasantly surprised by the great atmosphere, friendly service and awesome breakfast!! I got a veggie omelet which was so delicious and fresh and my boyfriend had eggs over easy with pancakes that had Apples and bananas cooked into them - omg I don't even like pancakes but these were so good I ate most of his!! To top it off they serve mimosas which is an added bonus!! The only negative is the parking is limited with all the new renovations in the center! read more

I went here on a Sunday morning after reading the reviews and was very disappointed. It took over 45 minutes to get our food and everything was under cooked. My pancakes were raw and the batter was totally uncooked in the middle. I am not sure if it was just an under-staffed morning, but I will not be going back. read more

The talk of the town breakfast sandwich is delicious!! It is a scramble of eggs, homefries, and your choice of meet with cheese on a portuguese muffin--for something like 4 bucks. Filling and delicious! read more

I love coming here. The food is typical diner food but delicious. The service is quick and your bill is always less than expected. This is our go to place for Sunday morning breakfast. read more

This place was a perfect find for breakfast\lunch! I had an awesome crab cake Benedict! The other 7 had various entrees from French toast to BLT sandwiches and everyone enjoyed their meal. The place is clean, and the staff is super nice! read more

Very nice place to have brunch! Polite hostest/waitress. The food was delicious and filling! I would highly recommend coming here especially for their bottomless ice coffee and hot coffee. Even the kitchen staff came by asking how we enjoyed our food which was nice. Also the surrounding town is very nice to walk around on a beautiful Boston day! read more

I came here with my family a few weeks ago and was surprised by how delicious the breakfast was. Now let me tell you, my family holds high standards for a good breakfast. We were very impressed with the several types of self serve coffee you could choose from. We all enjoyed the maple coffee. I subsituted the sweet potato fries for the regular ones, and they were an awesome choice! This is my first time in Quincy, and I will definitely be back! Service A + too! read more

Always have had great food from here, every time I order. One of the best places in the area for breakfast/lunch - highly recommended!!

I've been here a couple of times. The service was not great the first time, so we gave them a second chance. Both times the food was ok. Nothing memorable or outstanding, however. The menu offers the typical standard breakfast fare. A little uninspired and lacking creativity. But, if you're looking for an ok breakfast, Craig's is a solid option. read more

My husband and I love this restaurant! The coffee is self-serve, but it is FREE with your breakfast. I personally like the iced coffee. We usually get coffee and two plates for under 20 dollars. It's great food for an amazing price. The service is also awesome. Every waiter/waitress we've had has been super friendly and accommodating. The only negative thing I would say is make sure you prepare for street parking, which can sometimes be a hassle. read more

Went in for a Sunday brunch was seated immediately since we were only a party of two. I love that the menu has several poached egg options since these are my favs. Food arrived after a bit of a wait this if fine it was busy. Tasted very good and my friend also enjoyed her egg white omelet. read more

This is my first time here. The food is delicious and servers are friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more

My husband and I went in this afternoon for breakfast/lunch. As for the past couple times we've been the food and service are absolutely wonderful!! Today...my order was not correct and they were so apologetic and corrected it immediately... AND took it off the bill!!! That was class act!! They all treat customers like friends and their coffee is delicious!! This is a great local place... Fresh ingredients....cater to vegetarian diets... And the staff are wonderful!! A MUST GO!!! read more

Have gone for breakfast several times. Enough things you can make vegetarian by special request. Some different menu items that you don't see everywhere (e.g. fried green tomato benedict special). Food is good and veggies are fresh. Coffee is self-serv in paper cups in the front, which is good if it's busy and there's a wait or you need to take it to go after your meal. Tea is by request and also comes in paper cups - would like to see a tea station with the coffee. Would prefer actual mugs for dine in. Outdoor seating on the sidewalk in the summer. Friendly service. read more

Usually one of my favorite spots to frequently catch breakfast with some healthy options on the menu to accommodate but today when going there with my father and brother the hashbrowns were cold and barley even done, they forgot half of the vegetables and meats for the omelette, served stale store-bought wheat bread instead of the sourdough I requested and even the freaking avocado was dark brown. Very disappointed and will give them one chance to redeem themselves before I give up on the spot. read more

Based on 4.5 star rating I was ready to be wow'd. Unfortunately I wasn't. Customer service was great, service was fast and very friendly. The coffee station was awesome, with several different types of self service coffee although we were not told it was self service and waited to hear from the waitstaff. Here was not so expected, the atmosphere was strange, the restaurant looks like there was some construction going on and the "glassware/dinnerware" were a little dirty with water marks. The raspberry and chocolate chip pancakes were mostly plain pancakes with a few chips and a raspberry in each. The omelette lacked ingredients, overcooked toast and not so many home fries. If the reviews and star ratings were not 4.5 I probably would not have such high expectations. Just lower them and you will be fine, I think. read more

I've been coming here for breakfast on average 3 times a month for the past year, and it's consistently good, especially for the price. The only downside is that it's often pretty crowded. They just started serving dinner on some days, and the dinner is as good as the breakfast is. And at the time of writing this, it's not crowded at all. I hope enough people show up for the dinner hours that they continue serving it, but not so many that I can't get a table. read more

I went here today for lunch with a friend. Ordered the New England Panini, because who does love apples and cheddar cheese together? I know this girl does. There was "roasted" turkey and cranberry mayo on it as well. I had asked them to be light on the mayo because I'm not a huge fan. When the order arrived it looked like a basic grilled cheese sandwich with extra fillings. There was no apples, and it tasted like mush. Too much mayo/cranberry made the inside of the bread soggy, the turkey tasted like your average crappy deli turkey and the cheddar had no taste. I was extremely dissapointed. I didn't feel like being picky, so I forced myself through it. Aside from the mediocre food and the slightly longer than normal wait time, the service was great. The guy at the register was extremly friendly, as was the cook who served my food. Very rarely have you hear a waiter tell you to "yell if you need anything!" I will probably give them another shot, it's hard to mess up salads and I may try just your basic sandwich. I heard they have good breakfast, so if I've ever super early for work, I may try to hit them up for that too. read more

Yummy!! Great service and a really great meal! I had the Craig's salad which was really fresh and just delicious. I had lunch with someone who had the crab cake sandwich and they highly recommend it! read more

Wow. Huge portions, fresh ingredients and fabulous taste. We arrived just before 3:00 closing. The owner Tom stayed open and didn't push us to finish. What a great host who took care of his customers. Tom needs to bottle the whole show and franchise it out. Wish he'd open up a shop in Buffalo. Turkey avocado club very refreshing and filling. Wife loved the crab cake sandwich--home made, little filler and real crab. Courtney behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. read more

Food was great, very reasonably priced. The owner/chef even came out to ask about the food and service, kudos to him. My new date spot for breakfast/brunch. read more

I come here for breakfast all the time. I even brought my friends who were visiting from Vancouver and they loved it. The crab cake Benedict is amazing. The coffee is great with over 5 flavors and unlimited refills. I just found out they do dinner too which I'll try. The manager Tom is always on site, friendly and makes you feel welcome. Great local spot. read more

It's been about 4-5 years since I stopped in for breakfast. What had been a fairly ordinary breakfast dining experience has improved tremendously to an excellent breakfast. The room is funky and there are not as many tables as one might expect given the size of the place, but there are plenty of seats at the counter. The menu is very interesting with lots of options from savory to sweet. My only complaint is the self service coffee which is out of step with everything else they are up to here. read more
