Things that Granite Street Cafe had going for it which won them our visit: 1) They were open early. 7am - 2pm, every day. We wanted to be somewhere by 8am, so that worked for us. 2) They have a parking lot, just past the intersection, after the building on Water Street. Okay, this was more of a bonus for us, at least initially, but when I got there and saw the streets around them, I even more appreciated it. There's also an entry from the parking lot, but it isn't particularly clearly marked. I read about it on someone else's review, and got there first, so I had time to meander. But is the metal staircase closest to the sidewalk. There was a single waitress, which meant service wasn't the quickest. But she was nice and knew her regular by name. The booths had clear plastic (or glass... I didn't touch them to verify) dividers - perhaps due to the pandemic and social distancing, perhaps not, but I liked them and they seemed a part of the original booths, rather then an after thought. We split a sweet and a savory - double strawberry pancakes (3 pancakes with both berries cooked in, and strawberry compote, whipped cream on the side) $12.50, and Granite Street Benedict (with corned beef hash) $14.50. The sweet was surprisingly not too sweet, while the savory was a bit too salty. We weren't hurried along or anything. And they take both cash or credit.
This is my second time going to granite street cafe. the staff is really nice and welcoming. Food is great and also comes out very quickly. It's a great neighborhood diner with a really good menu. They also have a bar. Would recommend checking out if you're in the area.
Friendly and welcoming and very convenient to the neighborhood. We enjoyed a quiet lunch and had a nice server. I had a mushroom/bacon/swiss cheeseburger; one of my daughters had a chicken salad wrap; and my other daughter had a BLAT (an avocado BLT). Fries were hot and crispy. The food was serviceable though not outstanding - but it was a solid establishment over all.
We were looking for a breakfast place and were happy with Granite. The server was super friendly and the food was great and we didn't have to wait long.
Absolutely do NOT recommend! Not only do they not like colored folks in this establishment, they do not value health and safety. The last time I came here I found hair in my drink, and it was from Nina. It's been about 6 months to a year since then and I came back today, and that was a grave mistake. I requested an English muffin cooked lightly and it was burnt so she brought me out another one. As I am eating the English muffin I see something dark and black and realize it is a bug. I see the chef walking by and I stop him and he tells me it's something from the grill. I proceed to show him the head, wings, and legs and he's still debating me in front of the restaurant. He squishes the bug between his fingers and walks back to the kitchen. He handed me back the muffin and that is how I was able to take picture. I mentioned to my waitress that I am leaving and want the check. She said she doesn't know anything just to remove my meal from bill. I explained the last time I came here there was hair in my drinks and now a huge bug in my food. Her response was amazing "and you keep coming back" ... I absolutely will not be back and will make sure everyone knows about this encounter! Terrible, perhaps they should be wrapping their hair up and spend less time on their phones and in the back doing recreational things.
Very tasty and convenient spot for brunch! Came in on a rainy Sunday morning a few weeks ago and enjoyed some fun coffee cocktails (even was able to switch mine from hot coffee to iced upon request) and good food! It has a casual/diner feel, there were a few families inside but it allowed good social distancing once we were seated. I had the blueberry banana pancakes and a side of bacon--really enjoyed the very fluffy pancakes and felt like there was an adequate amount of toppings. The bacon was crispy and there was a lot of it! My boyfriend had the shrimp and bacon benedict and specifically noted that it had a lot of both bacon and shrimp. The home fries were a solid addition to the meal. Overall I'd say it's mot trying to be anything too hip or unique or gourmet, but if you're looking for some very tasty and classic breakfast food it's the right place for you!
Got tired of the same old rotation of items I make myself for breakfast, and decided to venture out. Plus, it's nice to get to get out of the house amid everything else going on. Regrettably, my experience was less than stellar. Not bad, per se, just not enough to warrant a return trip. I ordered a bacon waffle, coffee, and was able to try a cappuccino as well. Bacon waffle was solid, and good for bacon lovers! The batter/mix used to make it contained bits of bacon! However, it was spread throughout rather haphazardly with some areas containing close to none. Also some bacon pieces were just shy of pea sized, other small like a coarse salt granule. The waffle itself was cooked very nicely, with a very thin crisp outside and a soft inside. Salt level was pleasant and bacon-y, though there was not a distinct sweetness I could pick up on. There was maple syrup and various jams. The coffee was solid, pretty much what I'd expect, as was the cappuccino. I found the service lackluster on this morning. While the food came out within about 5 minutes, the remainder was on the slower side, and not-too-attentive side. Coffee refills weren't offered during the experience (though to be fair they checked in once towards the end of my breakfast). There were also little things I noticed around the restaurant that showed they were not having the best day. There were some empty bottles of champagne at the bar which weren't disposed of, and several tables that hadn't been cleared from previous patrons.

This is a no-frills local diner with a huge menu full of breakfast classics. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Irish Benedict. While the eggs and toasted english muffin were good, the hollandaise sauce was a bit bland, so I'd probably try something other than a Benedict next time. That said, everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious, and I'd definitely be back to explore more of the menu. I always enjoy supporting local businesses like this, and this spot is a solid choice for a hearty breakfast. read more

I want to start by saying GSC is great!!! Today was a disappointment... My hash omelette wasn't the best. The eggs were stiff (maybe they were carton eggs not fresh cracked) and my hash wash so BURNT ( I like my hash crispy, but this was past that) I couldn't even eat it. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The food was gross not appetizing at all. Were the ppl who posted reviews paid to lie? What a waste of money. I'm Highly disappointed. read more

The menu offers a diverse and impressive array of items none of which is done very well. Everything we ordered was eerily cold which made for an unappetizing experience. The eggs were tasteless and the Benedict was bland. The saving grace of the restaurant was the convenience. They have their own parking lot and their service was pretty good earning them their two stars. The food however doesn't warrant a return. read more

One word: outstanding. Since corona season is upon us it's only fair to mention it is indoor seating. Take out is available. It's also a seat yourself, not sure if this is year round or just bc it's not busy right now. (I'm from out of state) food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the crepe. We topped ours with Nutella and banana. read more

If you want a FOUR STAR breakfast - This is NOT the place. I ordered the ultimate breakfast with the eggs scrambled .... the eggs were brown and burnt, completely hideous and inedible. The larger issue is chefs and home cooks know how to cook/scramble an egg properly. It is basic cooking 101. More importantly, we/they know how scramble eggs should be prepared and look when cooked/prepared properly. Also, to add fuel to the fire, the potatoes/home fries were unevenly cooked and inedible. Based on the lack of basic cooking skills, I believe their food and this place is NOT worthy of a four stars, a visit OR the money. Extremely disappointed especially after reading the reviews and their 4 star rating... Happy Friday! read more

This place was busy. Service was fine. The food was just okay to me. I got the blueberry waffles and it came with whip cream. It just felt like a normal waffle that I could get anywhere. The everything breakfast sandwich look pretty small in protein size. Look like it barely had anything in it. Bacon was undercook and they were cheap on the veggies. Won't be back. read more

Local place haven't been here in years but thank God we came back. Good place for brunch I had the meat lovers omelette with a panckayon the side and my wife had the eggs benedict. Both were delicious potatoes were cooked crispy with flavor and pancake was good as well. Prices are good too nice little spot to come once in a while for brunch. Might have to wait a bit since this place is always packed but worth the wait! read more

I've been trying new breakfast spots around Quincy and when I saw how many benedicts this place had, I just had to try! I love corned beef hash so incorporate that into a benedict and I'm one happy girl! My boyfriend ordered a breakfast wrap which he said was pretty good. My eggs on my benedict was cooked perfectly, it was runny when I cut into it and then the corned beef hash was crispy and soft. Definitely will be coming back here another time to try the other benedicts! Our bill for everything including tip was less than $25 which was great! read more
