    Double smash burger

    Delicious spot that I'm glad we came across. The burger patties were so rich with flavor and the masala fries truly hit the spot on a cold day. The staff was awesome and super helpful with questions. Big fan

    Double Smash!!!
    J.P. A.

    I have been waiting to leave this review just to see if anything changed in my order for this past year. I order the same thing double or single smash burger and ff on the side. This is a semi- small establishment with a beautiful & clean interior w/ some outdoor seating out front. For an extra 5$ French fries are a must! It is well worth it considering the burger is very well priced ($7). Always greeted with the biggest smile from whom ever is working the counter that day. I go a good 2-3 times a month. The service is always above and beyond. My wife and I sometimes will sit outside with our pups and ask for plain fries for them. What a treat. We love how the staff makes you feel so comfortable to the point of being part of the family. These types of places are hard to come by. If in Beacon please stop by the local places and show them some love. I guarantee they will show the love back.

    What a fantastic addition to the local eating scene. Absolutely wonderful Afghan food. Authentic and fresh.Great service with a smile. Very reasonable prices. We have been waiting for this place to open, and it is sooooo good. A few tables, if you want to eat in. Pleasant and clean interior. My new go to place; I had the chicken and veggie rice bowl, and a piece of delish baklava.

    Great fast casual restaurant. I have gone with my partner, my parents, and my in laws! We all loved the burgers. They are perfectly seasoned and unique in their own sense for burger as I have had nothing similar to it. The masala fries are incredible too! Service is your standard pay at the register and sit down. You can finish your meal with a delicious dessert like Baklava.

    Love a casual food spot with decent prices, a simple menu and delightful flavors. Tried the burgers and fries and were very happy with them both. Staff was friendly and helpful with my questions. Ambiance is a bit sterile but appreciate a clean place so its a plus to me.

    Great burgers, good prices, the staff is very friendly and the ambiance gives a groovy restaurant vibe. I'll definitely be back!

    Eggplant Rice Bowl

    Nansense serves something for everyone. The menu has vegetarian options which is great for someone like me who was looking for something clean, flavorful and vegetarian to eat. I got the eggplant rice bowl which was absolutely delicious and fresh. The masala fries are a must try as well. The service is amazing and the ambiance is just right. The prices are more than affordable for the quality and flavor of the food. Not to mention their rose mint lemonade is the best I've had yet.

    We do not live locally however have returned multiple times for this wonderful addition to Beacon. The service is kind and the offerings are flavorful and authentic, we have yet to have the pleasure of finding the rice pudding available and will keep trying!

We were seated right by the window and it has a lovely view. Generally speaking, the ambience is really nice. All of the staff was very nice and attentive. We did have a newer server who seemed a little bit nervous and less familiar with the menu than you might want, but she was very nice and we have no complaints about the actual service. We split a half bottle of wine, which was a nice option since we didn't want a full bottle. We started with the French baguette, the brussels sprouts, and the whipped ricotta. The brussels sprouts were delicious. They were perfectly cooked and I couldn't stop going back to them. The whipped ricotta was also really interesting and the flavors were amazing. What was really disappointing was the baguette. When I think baguette, I think crusty, hot, out of the oven. The texture of the baguette was weird because it almost had more of a pretzel like exterior that was chewy and not crispy. For mains, we had the crispy chicken sandwich and the cassoulet. The sandwich was kind of a letdown. The flavors were all nice, but there was no textural difference. The bun was a little too big for the sandwich, the avocado, and the other toppings, just all kind of mushed into each other. It was perfectly enjoyable, but just nothing to write home about. The cassoulet was very good. There was a nice depth of flavor and smokiness to the meat. Overall, no complaints. It did seem as though our mains probably sat under a heat lamp. My guess is that because we were still working on the appetizers they did not want us to feel rushed, but with this kind of meal and the price point, they should do a better job pacing, or they should just bring the food out when it comes out. I would rather have the fresh hot food out of the kitchen, than have it sitting under a heat lamp. Overall, the meal was lovely. There were a lot of really high points. There were also some disappointing parts of the meal. Given the price point and the feel of the round house, the few missteps hit a little bit harder. But we would absolutely come back again. It was an overall very nice experience and we enjoyed our ourselves.

I also got avocado toast with eggs, and the avocado was nice and fresh. I'm not the biggest fan of their home fries, but that's just personal preference. I overall did enjoy my meal, and I'd definitely come back when I come to visit again. Location: This location is modern, yet it has a really cool vintage aesthetic, especially when you walk in and see the bar area. It's very spacious and perfect for a breakfast day, spending time with the family, or even going on a solo brunch. Sitting at the bar would be ideal. If I'm not mistaken, this location did not have parking, and we did have to look for street parking. It was a tad tedious because it is a pretty busy street, Still, it is worth going to. We did end up finding parking within 15 minutes, and if you're OK with that, then that should not be an issue. This is a casual attire breakfast spot. Service: The service was great, and our server was very kind and was able to serve a group of six of us with no issues.

The restaurant was busy but we were able to score a table. My wife ordered the Falafel burger with a side salad and I ordered the Vegan pancakes with Strawberries, bananas, and a side of homemade sausage. My wife loved her burger. Fat burger cooked fresh and on a brioche bun. My pancakes were good. Just the right amount of sweetness but very light on the bananas and strawberries. The homemade sausage was excellent. Two flat patties. Service was friendly but just ok. The prices are higher than your normal establishment for breakfast or lunch. Rent in Beacon is probably high. There is street parking but you are better off finding a public lot. The bathrooms were clean which is always a good thing.

For the price and flavor it was so worth it. I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky.
