I was the only diner seated at the counter to do so. I chose a Signature Sandwich, the Patty Melt. Instead of my preferred medium-rare, I opted for medium. The reduced amount of juice from the patties did not prevent the bread from softening. The thick marble rye stayed firm longer than expected, but eventually fell apart. After eating both halves, I had no appetite left for the fries, but for one single fry. The restaurant was filled with regulars. When I left, the waiting area was overpacked with customers waiting to be seated.

Stumbled upon 2 Mauros after visiting the Ashland state park. We made a note to come back another…read moretime because it was busy and we weren't hungry. We have since been back twice! It always seems to have a crowd which must mean good things. The locals know it as the place to go. The inside is quite big and you get seated pretty quickly. The staff are friendly as well. There is a central vintage diner-like area, and a lot of booths and tables. The first visit I ordered off their special menu which I believe rotates. I got the breakfast flatbread which was really interesting and delicious. It was a soft flatbread crust with tomato sauce, eggs, sausage, caramelized onion, and probably some other things I am forgetting. This past visit I ordered the eggs Benedict - also good. But the star of the show was the "healthy breakfast bowl" that my boyfriend ordered. It's like a breakfast chipotle type of bowl with a delicious aioli, eggs, sausage, quinoa. I would definitely get that next time. Their menu has a lot of options, something for everyone, and various coffees as well. They do breakfast and lunch. As a side note their lime Rickey (non alcoholic) is a tasty soda! Prices are along the lines of any breakfast place these days, but not cheap if that's what you're after. Great place to go for breakfast (I haven't tried lunch) if you're around Ashland.

I am surprised that I never visited this place even though it is just 10 min walk from my house…read more Loved the food and everything here. The restaurant looks like a fire station museum. They say that it is dedicated to the fire fighters of Natick, MA. Ambience - Simple tables and chairs. Nothing fancy. But they have really decorated the whole place (all the big walls) with fire fighting stuff like their tools, equipments, uniforms, historical pictures and what not! I love the fact that they didn't go fancy with the furniture and lighting. Instead, they gave more importance to the firefighting history. As a customer, it gives me something different and meaningful. Food - It's not only the ambience that's great. The food is delicious too! I don't have much to say about the food because it's just awesome. We ordered omlettes (veggie and spanish). Perfectly cooked. The complimentary whole wheat toast is rich, excellent and different from what I see in other restaurants. Loved the home fries too although I am not a big fan of those. Important: The restaurant accepts only CASH. This came as a surprise to me when I presented my credit card. I felt like they should have told me before I ordered my food. It's possible that someone may not have cash or may not feel comfortable paying with cash. So, either they should put up a big sign somewhere or they should inform the customers while taking the food order. Tip - There is a Bank Of America ATM next to the restaurant.

It's an earnest, quiet, comforting spot for some "home-cooked" food and conviviality. You bet it's got its share of cracks 'n crevices, dusty corners, stains, loose fittings, sticky condiment dispensers. It's not about that. It's about getting in the mix people, seeing the lovely, beloved, charming waitresses, drinking delicious coffee from proper thick, diner mugs, perusing local ads on the plastic-coated placemats. Come on, get in the groove friends! I've enjoyed eggs, toast, home fries, and omelettes here. I recommend their fluffy, generous pancakes, but keep your shirt on--you're not getting real maple syrup. Embrace the scene folks. Yes, everyone knows their prices are unbelievable, and frankly, I don't know how they do it. Let me tell you this, today, for the first time, I used the restroom. It's in the back--through the kitchen! I passed a cast iron tray of crusty, golden corn muffins and a deep, brimming, bread pan of equally golden, blessedly crusty and lumpy cornbread. The cook and assistant were at the oven and grill. Listen, I've cooked in some very good professionals kitchens, and what I saw pleased me. You are getting real food. Next time I'm having that cornbread. You should too.

That said, the staff is very efficient and does an excellent job of getting people in and out without making the customers feel rushed (not always an easy thing to do in my opinion!). Don't be deterred by the line because it moves quickly and it is absolutely worth the wait. Eli's is a real hidden gem and great neighborhood spot for locals and those traveling from out of town. The food is DELICIOUS and the portions are huge. Food is fresh and made to order yet still comes out quickly! Staff are very attentive. Our recent orders have included the Truffle Shuffle Omelet, No Name Omelet, Porky Pig Omelet, Hot Mama Omelet and the Island Breakfast. All were incredible. The house made pico is super fresh. We usually ask for the sour cream on the side as opposed to on top of the omelet. My parents said the coffee was really good. Great array of hot sauces to choose from as well. Next time I need to remember to order my hash browns extra crispy (they are good as is but extra crispy is just a personal preference!). There is a great mix of people in the restaurant every time we go. People from all over and from all walks of life (families, elderly patrons, young couples, etc.).

Contrary to what google says, there was no evidence of sports memorabilia or celebrity pictures. Sat at the counter and was joined by an elderly local man. Waitresses knew him by name. Which was not a common one. He ordered fish and chips (mkt price), so I did, too. Trust the locals. Gotta say, great choice. The piece of haddock was huge (had it been a shoe sole, I estimate size 18). The fish itself was fresh, likely recently delivered. Not a hint of oil and, when you break off a piece, steam came out. Fries were from a frozen bag, cole slaw just ok. Service very good. Overall, 3 and 1/2 fishy stars.
