Brighton Cafe — Restaurant in Boston

This Is a 3 star place when it comes to service efficiency. They have issues with order taking and time to deliver food to the table. However the food is ok for a diner style of food and do not want to lower their rating too much on Google. They can fix the service issues with a little effort. The food was tasty and priced appropriately. Enjoyed the Thai iced tea with breakfast 😁. Parking is tough here so if you are on foot or using public transportation you are golden, there is a bus and metro stops just across the street. The place was packed when I arrived but only waited 15 to get seated and as much to get my order taken. Felt bad for the table next to me who were waiting for longer. Note that when you get your bill they would add the 7% tax to each item on the bill so the prices on the menu and bill are off. It is weird the system...

I only ate here in person many years ago. It was always empty then. From reading recent reviews it sounds as if it is s very popular spot for weekend brunch. This was my go to place five years ago during lockdown as the prices were great with tasty donuts and sandwiches. Skip ahead to 2023 to the present and it got more expensive and quality uneven. This morning my grilled hot dog was very tasty but my spaghetti with garlic and oil had neither garlic nor oil. It was just cold, slightly mushy pasta with a little stale grated cheese on it. Nothing else. Even though I have gotten lousy food from them sometimes in the last two years, I see they have a loyal following and do want to hurt their ratings too much. They do need quality control so as to make the quality of their lunch items...

Fast service mixed with low key vibes sets the stage for wonderful dinner food. Came in for the first time with a hankering for a proper Bacon egg & cheese, the sandwich was exactly what I wanted. Piled high with a perfectly crispy mound of bacon seated on a soft cushioned egg and topped with the most crispy and crunchy hash brown with savory cheese sticking it all together. The sandwich did not survive the ride home. And coming in at $5 for the order my only regret was not leaving with two.

EDIT: 10/1/24 I Have now been back over 10 times. The quality remains exceptional. What is really impressive is no matter how packed the joint is I have never waited longer than 5 minutes for my order. This spot...
