I'll echo what others have said that it's a bit pricey for what you get, but what isn't nowadays. The menu is extensive and they serve all day breakfast and lunch (eggs benedict only available weekends and holidays). We got their corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy, and patty melt, all which were delicious! It was some of the best corned beef hash I've had in a while but the portion wasn't that big. The sandwich came with a side, I chose salad, which was offered with their housemade greek dressing! The home fries could be better seasoned but overall not bad. They do have wifi but even on a weekday lunch they got pretty busy (no waits but tables almost full). Service was solid as well and the space was clean.

Cabot's Ice Cream in Newtonville is exactly the kind of old-school ice cream spot you hope to find…read morewhen you're craving a good sundae. The first thing that stood out was the portion size and value. For around $7.50 you get two scoops of ice cream with whipped cream, a cherry, and a topping of your choice, which already feels generous. If you go for the regular size, you actually get three scoops, which makes it even better for sharing. There are so many flavors available, and we were happy to see that many of the ice creams are eggless, which is great for vegetarians. The texture of the ice cream was incredibly creamy, and the coffee ice cream was especially delicious with a rich, smooth flavor. We also tried the nachos, which were surprisingly really good and made a nice savory snack before dessert. Between the big portions, classic ice cream flavors, and nostalgic dessert-parlor vibe, Cabot's definitely feels like a local hidden gem in the Newtonville area. If you're around Newton or Boston and want a satisfying ice cream dessert, this place is worth checking out.

They have the option of take out too! We got a couple appetizers to try & each got a different ramen. Here's what we ordered: APPETIZERS - chicken karaage - okonomiyaki-styled tater tots - green papaya salad RAMEN - miso ramen - spicy miso ramen - chef's ultra ramen - spicy tan tan ramen Thoughts: I thought the appetizer portions were pretty generous! A lot more than we were all expecting. I was pretty much already full before the ramens came out. Wasn't a big fan of the green papaya salad. It was missing some flavor. We all thought that it would be better if it had some tomatoes & garlic. Didn't seem like they used a mortar to ground the aromatics or anything, since the sauce just tasted like fish sauce and lime. The chicken karaage was okay. Wish there was more sauce to dip the chicken with. Chicken was also on the drier side. The tater tots were the best appetizer of the three we ordered, IMO. If you like takoyaki balls, you'll like this because it has similar sauces + bonito flakes. Ours needed some salt though. As for the ramens, I personally had the spicy miso ramen. It was missing a lot of depth in the broth that I would've liked to see (& taste). I didn't taste any miso to be honest. Salt was needed too. The highlights for the ramen were the chashu & corn. I loved that they used fresh corn! The chashu had the perfect amount of fattiness & almost melted in my mouth. The noodles were nice and chewy. The broth was just disappointing though. For the other ramens, everyone enjoyed the one they ordered. I tried a little of the chef's ultra ramen & the broth was much better than my spicy miso. Btw, the spicy miso ramen is not spicy at all for anyone who is hesitant & cannot do overly spicy foods. The food was a bit disappointing for me. I came in with high expectations with all the good reviews I read beforehand. Not terrible but not great.

The bread was warm and fluffy and the frosting was creamy and nicely sweetened but not overly sweet. I was a fan. The french toast was eggy and the bread was soft. The Italian sausage stole the show for me. It was sweet, fragrant, and you could taste the chunks of meat and fat. The fennel flavor was warming. I had an extra side of their sausages. The home fries were good. The steak in the steak and eggs was well seasoned. It did taste A1-y. It was cooked to medium rare as per my request. I was a fan of the steak chunks. I will return. You should give them a visit.

A great little diner on North Beacon Street right next to Kimura Jiujitsu. I came on Sunday during…read morelunch time and we were able to grab a couple seats at the bar. There are also a few booths for larger parties. They have your general breakfast diner food, sandwiches, to daily specials to choose from. I opted for one of their daily specials the wake and bake which was a sandwich filled with hash brown, bacon, and eggs with a side of home fries. I also got a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice which was super refreshing. The sandwich was amazing and I would absolutely get it again if it was on the menu. The home fries were okay, but not the best that I've had. The service was great and very efficient. Overall, a great place to catch up and grab a bite to eat.

Plenty of seating packed into a small space, including large and small booths, tables, and stools up front. Straightforward decor without the nostalgic diner gimmickry-- it's not pretending to be old; it IS old and has its charm. -- Patty Melt: The reason I came. No longer on the current menu; however, they'll gladly make one for you. What I got was pretty impressive: a gentle patty, cooked to the medium rare I chose, and served on the seeded rye I chose, along with grilled onions, cheese, and a sauce sort of in the ketchup-and-mayo neighborhood. Good textures and taste, especially the beef. Only minor quibble was the minimal butter. Mini cup of coleslaw extra creamy. Pickle spear a nice palate cleanser. Overall, I was happy. -- Fries: They're not included with sandwiches, but a mere $1.95 for a more fries than a McDonald's medium was more than fair. Pretty average, but doable. Very quick, helpful, and attentive service-- not just from my own server but from all I encountered. Good vibe.

My daughter loves making lists of things for us to do when I'm visiting her in Mass. and one of…read morethose things was getting breakfast here in Newton. There's almost something cozy about a place like this. Knotty P. has all the diner signs: worn counter, people yapping, the waitress taking orders non-stop, booths aren't huge, aisles are tiny (good luck getting to your seat) and the special scrape sound of the large metal spatula touching the steel flattop. If you don't mind sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the regulars, then the counter is your spot. The only 2 seats available were at the counter and we snagged them. The breakfast potatoes are exactly what you want them to be: crispy-edges and golden- these have a little heat kick- not too much- but just enough to keep you going for another bite. As non-meat eaters, we appreciated how the cook keeps the sausages in their own territory (something is something I guess) from the omelettes, pancakes, etc. Then there's the energy- fast and a little loud in the best way. And right in the middle of it, is Ileana who has that special spark and every beat, timed.
