    Tasty and generous portion. Spacious inside and sofa are comfortable. Waitresses are friendly. Will come back for sure.

    French toast, eggs and sausages
    Sunset4 M.

    This is my breakfast go to! It has a home town feel to it. They have booths and tables. The coffee is delicious. I love the French toast and great homemade grilled home fries with a little bit of onions. The staff is fast, efficient and friendly. This morning I went in before the crowd hit and got a good pic. My Grandkids love the pancakes and waffles.

    Stopped here on our way home from Boston and it was the perfect, cozy spot for a delicious weekend breakfast! The staff was helpful and friendly, and service was fairly quick. Our breakfasts were delicious and made to order. We will definitely be back!

    My son said this is the best waffle he's ever had.

    Best breakfast place around. Top tier pancakes and waffles. Highly recommend the Belgium waffle.

    Banana Walnut pancakes (2) short stack
    Ben N.

    Banana Walnut Pancakes were great. Price was right and portions were reasonable. While waiting for our takeout order, we caught a glimpse of other meals, such as sandwiches and omelets, being brought to diners. They also seemed to be generously portioned and the menu shows that prices are reasonable on those as well. Some of the other Yelp reviews complained about slow service, long waits, but I have yet to go to a breakfast nook on a weekend day that doesn't have this problem. It's hard to get people willing to work for just a few hours starting early on a Saturday and Sunday for low wages. The pandemic only made things worse.

    a plate of food

    The breakfast request was Ham and poached medium eggs, crispy potatoes no salt, and sourdough toast- what I received was HARD poached eggs, potatoes with so much salt that my blood pressure would raise to the roof and Id likely have a stroke- and the toast arrived with the hard poached eggs plonked ontop so the bread was wet and soggy!!!! When I discussed with the server her response, "I'm so sorry the potatoes are always served like this, we put salt on them in the kitchen, oh, Yes I see the toast is soggy, and yes the eggs are hard...." she made NO offer to bring me my breakfast as ordered- but she said Im so sorry about 5 times.." When are people going to realise that "Im sorry" is overused and means nothing when no attempt is made to rectify the issue.

    We stopped in on our road trip and were so impressed! Super warm and friendly service, and the breakfasts were HUGE and delicious. Menu had some great variety for breakfast and the place is spotless.

    Eggs Benedict
    Brendan C.

    Great location in Foxboro center. Friendly and inviting place. A lot of food for not a lot of money. Really great value. I will definitely come here again. Try the eggs Benny. Despite being short staffed everywhere, the service was great at The Commons.

    Strawberry "stuffed" French toast
    Rebecca H.

    I didn't do any research before coming here and I wish I did. I knew I wanted breakfast and it was the closest place to where I was at the time. We walked into the old fashioned establishment and immediately thought they had the air conditioning on. It's March 9th. I am warm blooded and to me it was freezing. We got sat by an older woman. Both my mom and I ordered a soda. My mom simply asked if there were free refills and the lady said yes in a "I can't believe you just asked me that" way. As she put her back towards my mom to walk away, she rolled her eyes. Is the cost of the soda to refill coming out of her pocket? That set the mood for the whole dining experience. I'm not a French toast kinda girl but thought I'd try the stuffed French toast. It looked a lot better than it tasted. When I ordered a strawberry stuffed French toast, I didn't think it would be a thin layer of sliced strawberries and a huge blob of cream cheese. The cream cheese was overly sour. I'm sure if I got the French toast plain, it would have fine. Maybe I had different expectations of what "stuffed" meant. My mom got an omelette and was asked if she wanted cheese. What omelette DOESN'T come with cheese and what place CHARGES for cheese in said omelette? I'm still confused by that. The omelette was pretty good and the home fries are how I like them. Not much seasoning, soft on the inside with a little crunch on the outside. The bill came to around $24 including tip. Not bad priced but I'd rather spend more somewhere else and actually enjoy my experience/food.

    still a bustling place and very welcoming, but not incredibly busy where one would feel cramped or neglected. server is efficient and attentive, yet friendly and relaxed, never rushed us to order or to leave. food came quickly, tastes good, made to expectation. portion size is reasonable, pricing is fair. just realized that there is a sizable parking lot in the back of restaurant, entering from Wall St., with back door access into restaurant. street parking is readily available but a bit high stress to parallel park on the busy road. didn't think of checking time limit on parking until over an hour later, server thought it was fine and thankfully no ticket. but i would recommend checking next time, or just pull into the back lot. very great place to chill alone or with a friend. recommend!

I have Celiac Disease so finding a place that is competent regarding allergies is difficult. I felt comfortable in the amount of questions they asked regarding cross contamination and how my food can be prepared. They were kind and knowledgeable about their products, including their coffee syrups. Inside the cafe there's a pick up area for mobile orders as well as a good amount of seating! It's such a cute cafe to sit and chat with friends or just grab a quick drink. I even saw some people working on their laptops. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a gluten free roll and an Irish crème latte. Both were so so good. I would definitely return for another drink and meal! The only thing I would mention is that the parking is a bit tricky. It's all street parking and the recent pile ups of snow doesn't make it any easier to access a parking spot.

I ordered "The American" breakfast wrap, also offered in a bowl and I almost wish I got the bowl. It was by no means a bad wrap but I'm picky with my wraps so I think this was a wheat wrap which made it a little more grainy. They packed it full with egg and sausage so that was great. However, I do wish there was more scram sauce to taste because that is what made it different from the others. I also ordered the Iced cinnamon roll coffee and that was amazing! Definitely recommend.

Located in the large Patriots Place complex, full of shopping and many restaurants, it can be a bit of a walk from the parking area. The exterior and interior are just as we remember. A hostess greeted us at the door and sat us immediately with menus. Menu is the same as last visit. Lots of Asian and Mexican influened dishes along with pizza. Menus are a hard cover, book style and the pages are showing their age. We got two half sheet pizzas. Each can easily feed four people. The mozzerella on the Margarita was rubbery this time around. That may happen because of hot 'pizza oven' temps or it could just be low quality. I reheated some left overs on low heat and the cheese did melt OK and had less of a rubbery texture. The crust is thick and crisp on the bottom. The tomato sauce is sweet. The second pizza was a buffalo chicken. It was plenty spicy, lots of cheese, nice drizzle. Not much chicken. All in all it was a tasty pizza. Restrooms are clean. Service good. Plenty of shared parking.

Our waiter seemed to be trying his best, but was clearly a bit underwhelmed. They brought out the wrong dish for one of our party, then brought out a very overcooked version of the right order.

Unfortunately, we hadn't made a reservation in advance, so I can't blame the restaurant for the fact that we ended up seated at the bar which had considerably less ambiance and perhaps staff who weren't as familiar with the menu. If you're someone with food allergies or special food needs, you'll need to use extra caution here. I ordered the vegan pasta and specified several times that I was ordering the vegan pasta main dish because it was vegan and I have a dairy allergy. The woman behind the bar asked if I wanted the mushroom pasta, and I specified again that it had to be the vegan pasta at least twice. She put in the order for the mushroom pasta starter, which contains dairy, instead of the vegan pasta entree. Because of her uncertainty, I double-checked with another bartender, who confirmed that it was in fact a dairy dish. That bartender was able to place the correct order for me. I would consider coming back here on a date night for the ambiance, but I would be very careful about checking and double checking for food allergies.
