    Chicken Kebob Salad Sandwich - Amazing. The dressing is homemade, the chicken is cooked to perfection and the salad alone was amazing. First time there. So welcoming. I sat at the counter. Joyce "JB" and Peggy are THE BEST. I will be back! The regular customers also THE BEST. I've been telling everyone about this. Got to get my friends and family in this place. Thank you!! Also, SO YUM!

    Bacon ham and linguiça

    Same family same servers after 15 years that tells you something, very friendly atmosphere, haven't been in a few years (moved away) glad to be back !

    #2 Two Eggs, Bacon, Homefries, Toast, Single Pancake
    Jessica B.

    A classic breakfast! I ordered eggs over easy, bacon, toast, home fries and a pancake. Everything was cooked perfectly; eggs were runny, bacon was crispy, toast was over-buttered (yum!), home fries were real potatoes and the pancake was fluffy. I enjoyed every last bite! Word on the street is this place has a fantastic lunch/dinner menu as well, which I can't wait to try. Definitely check this place out if you like a good old-school "greasy spoon" diner style breakfast :) *CASH ONLY*

    Had an outstanding time and in consideration of the last time our meals were even better. Fresh cooked meals, with the best service and in this tough economy, these prices are for all of the most frugal!! Please don't miss out!

    Lamb Ke Bob Sandwich, yummy!
    Allegra M.

    Fantastic find! I love Greek food and don't know how I missed this gem of a diner. They have a counter--I love a diner with a counter! (Being single never gets in the way of a good meal for me, lol, and I don't like to make a waitress walk over to a table for just little old me ;) Today I was fortunate to have a conversation with a local lady. That would never happen if I was sitting alone at a table. The diner is cute and old fashioned with wooden booths--love them! The waitresses treat you like family. They genuinely care about your experience and make sure you're happy with your meal. Anyway, I had the lamb kabob sandwich. On the recommendation of the (wonderful) waitress, I chose to have it cooked medium rare. It came out beautifully, served with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber in a pita half with a yummy dressing. (For once, the first time in my life, there was enough dressing! I always have to ask for more.) The dressing was tasty and distinctive--very enjoyable. Definitely add feta cheese to the order! What's Greek food without feta?! The desserts looked fantastic, but I had no room left. Next time. ***Please know they only accept cash, so come prepared.*** There is a small parking lot (with small spaces) next to the restaurant. The restaurant is located in the section of Braintree that seems to be alive and relatively thriving, unlike so many town centers of moderate income. I was told there's a good yarn store nearby--score!-- next time! I went back the next day for breakfast, which was very satisfying. It was a larger portion than I was expecting. Coffee is only $2!

    Really great breakfast selections with pricing and portions. Very happy workers who are fast and kind. Food came quickly and was cooked to order. Great western omelette with a side of bacon.

    #5 Steak and 2 Eggs
    Nelson R.

    Came in for some breakfast, I had the steak tips and eggs and my wife had the western omelette. Both were ok the service was great and fast but it's cash only and they have an ATM machine if you need to grab some inside the place.

    Lamb shank with rice and green beans
    Tom N.

    The food is always great and for a good price. It's cash only. I had the baked lamb shank

    Had a lovely breakfast. Food & Service was wonderful. They made the rounds with the coffee pot every 5 to 10 minutes.

    Stuffed chicken with gravy, mashed,cranberry sauce and green beans. Excellent!!!
    John B.

    Been coming here with my wife for a couple of years now. Great food, great service and great prices (CASH ONLY). We always get a cup of the chicken and rice soup weather we are having breakfast or lunch. It's awesome! Today we got the stuffed chicken with cranberry and green beans. It was fantastic!!! The soups and entrees cost us 35 bucks. The breakfast here is always very good too. Try the Olympian you will be glad you did.

    Can't wait to go again!…read more Great first experience with Yaz's. Food was great, and came out quickly. There was so much detail in everything we ordered; fried leaks, the way the syrup snd hot sauce was presented, details on the brunch drinks, and on and on. I was very impressed with all the details, the flavor profiles, and how elevated even those details were- you can tell a lot of thought went into hitting a home run on each item. We got the instagram worthy birthday cake waffle, enormous portions from the 'whole farm', and a great short rib benedict. You do have to order "everything at once". This did not end up being an issue for us, as we ordered both rounds of drinks and there was no issue later when we asked for a refill on a kid's chocolate milk. I would predict this could add a complex situation in some cases. I'll be back!

    Seated at 11:30am with reservations. Informed by server it is a scratch kitchen which is nice. Also…read moreasked if we have any allergies. I'm not sure how well they would navigate but allergies as there is Nutella and pistachio on menu. I'd be reluctant. Ordered, received coffee pretty quickly but didn't receive food until 12:12 pm....No pressure here. I don't find this message on the table welcoming at all. I definitely don't love it. Welcome but hurry up and leave, lol. It's in poor taste in my opinion. I've never seen this before in a restaurant and probably wouldn't be likely to return given this makes patrons feel rushed and I drove an hour, out of state to visit. It kinda says our time is more valuable than yours when you limit patrons to an hour but give them 20 minutes to eat and eff off. My mom had the garden bene and she really enjoyed it. I had the banana Nutella foster French toast. Portions are really huge. You can easily split them. Lattes are really good too. Our server was very kind and attentive. A little pricy for brunch. Our bill came to 52.50 and I wasn't able to use a visa gift card which was strange. Luckily I had my credit card. Overall it was pretty good. Would I return to feel rushed for expensive brunch, probably not.

The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

I burned a hole into the backs and sides of their heads and left no gratuity to the failson that decided to finally acknowledge me. 1 star for the never-changing menu.
