November 20, 2018 Went there this morning to try their breakfast. What a mistake! Put our order in at 10:30, never got it until 11:45. The food was terrible, atmosphere was bad and it was so cold you had to leave on your coat. We were seated in the front room and every time someone came in, they brought in the cold air from the door opening. The front door made a loud banging noise every time it was shut. The music they were playing was so loud you couldn't have a conversation without yelling, also their choice (Irish Music) was not suitable for early breakfast. For a place that has been open for a month, they certainly need to have better management or at least hire someone that knows how to run a restaurant. It's obvious they bit off more than they can chew, they are too use to that little place they were in before. They don't even deserve a 1 star rating. read more

Good service good portions great Always quality food Staff a very pleasant and friendly read more

We went there back in Oct this year. Food was really good and the service was decent. However, we were totally not aware of the $5 covid fee that they put on your bill. The fee was not mentioned anywhere!!! till it showed up on your bill. And, if you did not ask, they won't even tell you about it.... :) read more

I'm the type of individual that tries to give the small business a chance before going to a chain franchise for food. Had one person suggest IHOP day before. Nothing against chain. But with the current situation with COVID, some these small business eating locations are having a challenge to have people eat there. Rather give this location a chance. Have a not so good meal? Well then the next time we use IHOP. Standard breakfast food and coffee. No complaints. I received from the three other gentlemen I had breakfast with that the correct choice was made. read more

I wish someone would post on this page before I went in so here it is. They stopped serving breakfast items after 3 PM and whatever you do,DO NOT order the steak tips!!!!!! Unless you are a huge fan of Lays salt and vinegar,you probably will like steak tips version of it. They were extremely vinegarly, like someone dropped the whole bottle in the marinade bucket. The place was literally empty on the weekend at 7 PM ,maybe because of Covid as well. I didn't think they were even open since I was the only car in the lot and one of 3 tables in there. Service was impeccable!!!! I was there for an hour and not a single table came in after me,none, which is good for me the less people the better. I will go back though before 3 pm to try thier breakfast and hopefully I will be able to enjoy the meal. read more

This place.... phenomenal service, outstanding food and just overall marvelous. This restaurant alone makes me want to move to this state! I had the steak tips and egg breakfast. Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a hearty and DELICIOUS breakfast!!! This is one for the books! read more

I've been to this place a couple times when I see my brother-in-law if you like Irish food you gonna love the mad hatter I've never had a bad meal and the staff is awesome. Had salmon Benedict with home fries simply delicious and my brother-in-law said the beer is great as well read more

Went here for a brunch buffet. There was a mountain of bacon in the serving tray, daring me to take as much as possible. The eggs were scrambled perfectly and were not too dry. The prime rib was the way I like it. When I asked for a larger slice the carver helped me out with a thick slab of meat. The salmon lox and cocktail shrimps are a nice touch as well. Coffee and juice was included in my buffet price. Bloody Mary had good spice but still very drinkable, no stupid garish bullshit. This is one of the best bang for your buck brunch buffets I've been to. read more

I have always been a fan of mad hatter. Their breakfast is by far the best in town. I am a fan of their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches and usually order them for takeout. But now they have dinner?! Just went out to their new location with my fiance and it was pretty good. I was too excited for breakfast so instead of getting dinner, I got an omelette with cheese and bacon (came with toast and home fries). We also had an app of potato pancakes that were filled with scallions and cheese! They actually didnt let me leave room for dinner! Absolutely delicious! I cant wait to go back and try their dinner options, there was a good amount to choose from. The place looks great and the staff was very friendly per usual. The bar looks like a great spot to hang out as well. I am excited for future trips here. read more

Mad Hatter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Weymouth, Massachusetts

This breakfast restaurant will never let you down. I have never had a bad meal here, and have always enjoyed the warm & professional service by the wonderful waitstaff. They are truly exceptional. Today I stepped out of my comfort zone (eggs & blueberry pancakes) and tried the Chili Benedict special, and I'm so glad that I did. It was just delicious! Can't wait to come back again read more

I am never disappointed when I eat here. Food is always delicious. Doesn't matter if it is breakfast, lunch or dinner

Went for lunch today. Trying to be good and eat healthy so I got the Cobb salad. It was gigantic- filled with lettuce. Definitely could have used more chicken. Cut back on the lettuce and add chicken. Editing my review- I do need to add that our server was very good. I wish I remembered her name. We never once had to ask for a refill. She just kept them coming. I thought that was great and is good service! read more

I've been to this place several times with different people. Each time there was no disappointment with food or service. I enjoy their cornbeef hash the best. have also tried their lobster egg benedict and it was pretty good too. the veggie omelet is also very tasty and big portion. some have complained that it's not really an omelet since it's it's not covered but it's almost scrambled eggs with veggies which is kinda true. wished they either add more egg to cover it or perhaps less veggies? will definitely come back to try other items. read more

All the mad Hatter staff love this place! Food is great service is excellent I recommend this restaurant to anybody somebody please try to Curry beautiful read more

Love this place! My husband, children, and I really liked the food here, especially me. We ordered a bunch of things to try: Crab Cake Benedict, Lobster Benedict, Mad Hatter Delight (corned beef hash inside a pastry with a yummy sauce on top of it...my favorite), bread pudding, and the crunchy French toast. They were all so delicious. They give good portions too. We had leftovers, and we can eat. Definitely ask what their specials are for the day because their specials vary. We brought the food home and it was still good. I imagine it would have been even better if we ate the food there. Maybe next time...definitely coming back and recommending this place to our friends and family. read more

I have been coming to this cafe for years now and it is my go-to breakfast/brunch place for friends or family from out of town. It has not once let me down. The portions are huge and satisfying, the flavors divine, the staff is friendly, and the service is fast. The only downside is that on weekends the lines can get a bit long, but Saturdays are better than Sundays, and it's better to go later in the day than earlier (for example, we went around 1:30 pm this past Saturday and there was barely a wait). I would also say that for parties of 4 or more, you might want to call ahead -- the cafe is small and I've only seen parties of 6 at the most for brunch. They can certainly accommodate larger groups, but would definitely need advance notice. My boyfriend's favorite is the Hungry Man, which comes with two eggs cooked however you want, ham, bacon, sausages, home fries, toast, and a side of pancakes or french toast (my boyfriend gets the banana pancakes, which are made with real mashed bananas, fluffy, and amazing). I have gotten pretty much everything on the menu, but the corned beef hash, the lobster benedict, and the crunchy french toast are standouts. The lobster benedict in particular is a steal - I've never seen that much fresh lobster for $12! The lunch food is also fantastic - the cuban and the burger are both amazing. This is not a fancy brunch place, nor does it pretend to be. If you're looking for fantastic breakfast/brunch food with great portions, however, this place is the BEST. read more

Mad Hatter - Blueberry stuffed French toast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Weymouth, Massachusetts

One of the best breakfast places I've ever been in before they moved. When they had the little place across from McDonald's in Weymouth it was absolutely mind blowing the breakfast the service and the hospitality. The new place that they got I'm not too happy with but maybe give it a chance and diagnose it for yourself. I gave it four stars from the prior place enjoy read more

Boston is quickly becoming my absolute favorite place to visit for business. For whatever reason, the clients I visit there seem to be kindred spirits of mine as far as mentality, so I was naturally pretty excited when they picked me up and informed me they were taking me to a "local joint" for breakfast. The Mad Hatter is so small if you blink you will miss it, but the parking lot was sure jam packed at 8 AM when we stopped in for breakfast. We literally had to wait there for several minutes until somebody left before we could pull in. The inside is about as rustic and old school Boston as you can possibly imagine, with an Irish theme that is about as subtle as being kicked in the nuts with a steel toed boot. The place is unapologetic in it's execution of the old school, and it would not surprise me in the least if my experience here would of been identical if it had taken place in 1985. There were 2 servers covering the probably 25 or so tables jammed into this tiny location, and they worked the room with military precision. They also both spoke in a very heavy Gaelic/Boston accent that was somewhat similar to how Brad Pitt's character sounded in the movie "Snatch". Not gonna lie, I found the accent on these girls insanely hot. Menu here is fairly vast, especially for such a small joint, but the "Irish breakfast", ordered by everyone but me, is featured prominently on page one and is clearly an area of emphasis. It looked about like an "English breakfast" best I could tell, though I am sure there are subtle differences. I decided instead to go with the corned beef hash with eggs, as it is a personal fav of mine. Ordering hash is about like ordering meatloaf when you are out and about as it is a total dice roll. However, I am happy to report the hash here was fantastic. They seared the outside prior to serving so it had a bit of crispiness to it and the flavor was out of this world. I devoured it in short order. I will undoubtedly be back in Boston as some point in the near future and will with 100% certainty return to this place for breakfast. The service was good, the food was outstanding, and the prices are just a tad above the greasy spoon norm. read more

I found out about this restaurant from a friend about a year ago and I wish I found out sooner. The service has always been A+ and food has never failed me. The portions here are more than enough to satisfy a hungry appetite. I most recently has a meat lovers omelette and when it came out, it was loaded with all types of meat. Usually when you get an omelette from anywhere else, the ratio seems to be more egg than the other Ingredients. I've had lunch here as well, but can't seem to pass up on breakfast food whenever I have the chance. The crunchy french toast is a must try. read more

Now I see what all the fuss is about. I had the strawberry pancakes, which were phenomenal. It's a generous order at four pancakes, and they are fluffy and light and crisp. Just wonderful. We were also very happy with the homemade corned beef hash, which actually tastes like corned beef. The service deserves special mention as well. They were quick with the coffee refills which I always appreciate. I was very pleasantly surprised that they offer a variety of flavored iced coffees. The servers seemed to work really well as a team. Super friendly and smiley. All in all, great place. read more

Thank you yelpers for guiding us to the best breakfast In a long time! Small place with huge portions, and friendly, attentive servers. I had the mad batter special for breakfast; eggs over hash filled puff pastry with home fries, it was delicious, and very filling. On an empty stomach, I wasn't able to finish it all. Loved it, easy 5 stars here read more

The Mad Hatter cafe is my regular spot for breakfast when I have a rare day off. Don't be fooled by what may at first glance appear to be an average size menu, because they balance it with a healthy dose of delicious daily specials and fresh smoothies. Not to mention I suspect they'll accommodate any reasonable request. The food has been consistently fresh and delicious on each of my many visits, and the waitstaff courteous and attentive. On my last visit I had the shaved steak omelet (special). When I was had finished cleaning my plate, I let out a heavy sigh knowing that it would probably be quite some time before I could get back here to consume another. I suspect the gentlemen manning the (open) kitchen to be the owner of this establishment from the obvious care he takes in crafting each plate. The only downside to the Mad Hatter Cafe is the small size of its dining room and often full parking lot. If you don't mind waiting for a table to open up (there's a small waiting area outside) you're taste buds will quite grateful that you did. Note: I've only been here for breakfast (served all day) so I cannot speak to the lunch menu. read more

Mad Hatter - Shaved Steak Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Weymouth, Massachusetts

Mad Hatter, more like Sad Chatter. I'll start by saying that I'm pretty lenient when it comes to cutting servers a break, and usually won't give a bad review just based off of service issues, especially if the food reflects redeeming quality. However, our young server was an absolute space cadet. I'm sure she will be successful in some other career one day, but service is not her forte. We never got any silverware, so when she handed us our coffee, sugar, and milk - we had nothing to stir. She forgot our orange juices too; so we sat there waiting for her to pass by again to ask for spoons and juice but she never came back. We had to ask another server to find her. Then when it was time to refill the coffees she took our cups with the spoons in them and we, again, had nothing to stir with. By now, we had been waiting so long my boyfriend took two cigarette breaks and a bathroom break. We finally decided to ask someone how much longer on our food; turns out our waitress "went on break" and we had a new server? I'm guessing our order never went in because they asked us what we ordered and we still sat waiting for another 25 minutes. When the food came the plates came 3 min apart so I was picking from my boyfriends plate while waiting. The new waitress never asked if there was anything else we needed, or how everything was (pretty standard server follow up questions, especially when you're taking over for another waitress). If she had asked we would've let her know that literally everything was cooked wrong and tasted terrible. This was the most disappointing part of our experience. I can forget how crappy the service is if I'm chewing on a juicy hunk of bacon and/or savoring a flavorful bite of breakfast eggs - but nope! The bacon was so hard it couldn't be chewed, the hash had a sour flavor I couldn't describe, the scrambled eggs were rubber, poached eggs were rubber and cooked solid, the toast tasted stale and freezer burnt. By now we knew we would never come back to this breakfast buzzkill again; So we found a nearby server and explained that everything was so terrible we couldn't even eat it and certainly weren't gonna pay for it. They apologized and set us free. Definitely won't be back. Legend has it the first waitress is still on a break to this day. read more

Cons : It was the long wait for our food for me, It was the hair in the waffle for me, it was the burnt toast with no butter for me, it was the 1980 cups for me, it was the waitress with no personality for me, it was the no whip cream on the waffle for me, it was the tobasco sauce for me, it was the musty potatoes for me, it was the hospital condiment dishes for me, it was the use of regular menus in the middle of a pandemic for me, it was the refill of water with no ice for me, it was the feeling of a brick in my stomach afterwards for me. Pros : it was the huge lemon wedge for me and it was the buffalo sauce for me. read more

Ordered bc I saw it on Yelp as highly rated. Ordered the steak tips with double fries and salmon w mashed potatoes and broccoli. The steak tips were undercooked and badly seasoned. The fries were amazing. The salmon was undercooked, mashed potatoes were boxed mashed and broccoli was good. Unfortunately, wouldn't go again. read more

My first brunch at sub urban Boston was not the best. Food - I had the quiche with coleslaw. Quiche had a good crusty texture, but the coleslaw was extremely dry. My friend ordered the egg benedicts with a crab cake. Crab cake was hard. Service - It was just about ok. Ambience - The air conditioning wasn't functional and the place got way too hot. Cost - ~$15 per pax. read more

Eh. It's nothing special, just a place to get some breakfast if you're nearby. Got the two eggs breakfast. The Irish sausage was good, had the bite of munching down on a grilled hot dog. Eggs were done easy when I asked for over medium. The cinnamon raisin toast was good. Potatoes way too soft and soggy for my liking. read more

Mad Hatter - Two eggs breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Weymouth, Massachusetts

I can't say enough good things about this place. What a find! Came here on a Monday for brunch and waited about 20 minutes for table... No big deal though because they have a perfect little coffee window, so we got our caffeine on while we waited. There are only about 15 or so tables in the place so I would imagine you should always anticipate a bit of a wait. TOTALLY WORTH IT THOUGH. I would have tried everything in the menu if I could, but we decided on the French toast, home made corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and home made soda bread, and the breakfast burger. Everything was unreal good. There was a lot of moaning happening on our table. We will absolutely be back to try everything else. read more

Very disappointing service. We waited 45 minutes for our food after ordering. 3 tables around us (seated after us) were served before us. When I finally flagged down the waitress she was apologetic and said the kitchen lost the ticket. Food finally arrived and was very good. Our meal was comped which made me want to try the Mad Hatter again. Two weeks later, the exact same thing happened. 45 minute wait for food. (This time I found the waitress, who told me the ticket got lost). Meal was comped. Food was good but the aggravation of waiting while others are served around me is not worth eating here. I gave 2 stars instead of one due to the fact that the food is good. read more

Solid Irish food. Nice diverse menu. Good vibe and setting. Great portions.

Lunches leave a lot to be desired. You've got to love their rose colored tv screen. Obviously they can't afford a new one.

The staff is super friendly. The prices are GREAT and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend the Mad Hatter

Crunchy French toast. You need to come here and get it because it's amazing. I have actually had crunchy French toast elsewhere that was nowhere near as good as this place. They also have flavored iced coffee which is a huge perk! I went with the banana bread and it was tasty. Service was good, fast and polite! read more

Went the The Mad Hatter new location on mid afternoon with my mother, for a quick bite to eat and to try out here. The place was slightly chaotic and busy for the time of day, but was seated quickly at the breakfast bar. Had their Banger and Mash, and was pleased with it. The waitress manning the bar made great small talk and was on top of my mother and my cups of coffee. Would come again for either their breakfast or dinner meal. read more

Very good guest experience. Clean, and friendly environment. Waitress was prompt and delightful. Food did take a substantial amount of time, but it was due to the kitchen being backed up.
