Coffee with milk
Maryam M.

Good portion sizes with a side of fruit. But it had more of a diner feel than an upscale brunch. It is quite spacious and finding a table was easy enough on a Saturday morning. My friend and I both got the eggs Benedict which was good (mine was with avocado, hers with smoked salmon) and a side of fruits. It was good The coffee however was burnt, and we could barely finish our mug, let alone request a refill.

Meat Lovers Omelet
Thomas T.

The diner is located in a busy neighborhood and is usually busy on the weekends. Luckily there was no wait this time I went! The place has a very relaxed vibe. Once seated you can grab water from the water stations or grab coffee or juice from the drinks station. The food came out really quick after ordering. I was very satisfied with the meat lover omelet as it was packed with meat. You get to pick three breakfast meats and what cheese you want. The portion was definitely a good size, a lot of food, but you can finish it.

Mimosa
Marni M.

My sister and I wanted to check this place out after going to the brunch place previously next-door seeing they were not getting as much business. We were able to get the outside seats as requested which was perfect for people watching. Parking can be tough when it's really busy since if there isn't a meter, it is permit parking only. We started with mimosas which came with some fresh slices of oranges and was the garnish for all the dishes following. They must have used fresh squeezed juice because it was so sweet! For dishes we ordered the Corned Beef Hash with "over easy" eggs, Real Lumped Crabmeat Bene and Pumpkin Waffle with caramel walnut and banana. The corned beef hash was more like shredded and dry brisket and the over easy eggs we're more like over medium. Unfortunately, my sister was severely disappointed. My eggs Benedict however, was perfectly runny. Crab meat would have been better had they had more of a sear to provide extra crunch but taste was on point. The slice of tomato was a complementary touch. I found the waffle to be soggy by the time it touched our table, probably due to the "caramelized" walnuts and banana which were really just soaked in syrup. Taste was pleasant but not spectacular. Overall, moderate experience with great service. I could get a better Benedict at a lot of other places which was the highlight.

Challah French Toast
John H.

Everything you could want in a local breakfast diner. The service was friendly and incredibly fast. Laid back atmosphere where everyone was having a great time. We arrived at 10 am and there was only a 10 minute wait. Parking is very limited on the street though. The food was great. Classic lox bagel and French toast. Hash browns that are actually mashed potatoes. Actually pretty good. Food came out in 5 minutes. The iced coffee was meh but self serve coffee bar meant an easy fix with milk and syrups. Prices are reasonable and the portions are big.

Self serve coffee chocolate raspberry
Tiffany H.

Love the self serve coffee station. Great selections of brews. My favorite choco raspberry. My College daughter loves this place. Portions are huge n everything is fresh. We love coming here whenever we come to visit her. Eggs Benedict w perfectly poached eggs. You know how hard it is to poach an egg? Extremely hard. The mashed potatoes were sooo good. People next to us had the expresso martini, i was jealous! she said it was excellent! I would have one but I was driving home . Next time. Prices are reasonable. The cushion seats could use a makeover though. Some spots were ripped. But the food is excellent n don't need and changes .

Many people dream of a world of peace; some people dream of power. However, I am a simple man, and I dream of home fries. Succulent, slightly fried pieces of potato with just the right amount of seasoning. I do NOT dream of gray slabs of grilled mash, labeled as "home fries". As for the main dishes, why I was taken aback. I ordered Jimmy's Moroccan Eggs, while my partner ordered a breakfast burrito. Both were a dishonor to Jimmy and Mexican cuisine everywhere. Worse still, and I do not say this lightly... there was even an eggshell in my food. It ruined my appetite, if not my whole day. Heard that the sweet food was pretty good tho, and my standards are dirt low frfr. Will probably be back

Yogurt and Fruit Bowl

Space is good, we were seated 5 minutes after our arrival, we got the food 10 minutes from putting the order but it took them a while to come take the order. Food is delicious and portions are very good, big.

The Green Omelet With egg whites
Cassie C.

Sound Bites... Food & Fun! What an extensive menu offering so many fresh home made options for all tastes. We all had all different omelets that were packed with fresh ingredients. I loved my Green Egg white omelet with their signature home fries. We washed our meals down with freshly squeezed OJ screwdrivers. Delish! The experience was definitely enhanced by the owner Yasser! He took our order and took his time to interact and really show us a good time with a TON of personality. We really enjoyed the whole experience.

turkey club&fried this is like 7.5/10 the fries were so oily that my grubhub post nut clarity made me feel sick but I'd still smash tho

TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

Like other reviewers have mentioned before, some of the dishes arrive faster than others, so I think selecting a few dishes to share family-style among the group might be the best. This is also because I got the milk bread monte cristo ($18) which I thought was tasty, but quickly became too greasy to fully enjoy. It was a big portion which could be easily shared among a group. I also tried their zucchini and spring onion latkes ($18) and seasonal donuts ($12), both of which were excellent. The zucchini latkes were super soft but seasoned perfectly and had a nice aroma of charred onions. I highly recommend the seasonal donuts which are fluffy and not too sweet.

We were a large group, however, it doesn't account for the slow service received. There were several courses that were brought out family style, and they took forever to come out. Water and wine and other beverages were quick and timely. However, the food was extremely slow in coming out. It was to the point, that they brought out the entrée and dessert at the same time. The dinner was supposed to start at 6 PM, and we ended leaving after 9:30 because it was already late for a week night. I would understand if the restaurant was packed and very busy, however, it was not. The food that did come out was very tasty, but it was marred by the poor service and getting the food out. Kitchen needs to work on their execution .

We were part of a large group (12 diners) for a pre-wedding dinner/party…read more Except for the couple getting married, I believe the rest of our party were the only out-of-towners dining that evening. This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options. There is a street-side patio if you wish to watch the people and cars at Davis Square. Five Horses serves American comfort food, and they do a pretty good job serving up their offerings. I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. If I lived here, this would be in my rotation for a brew or two, catch a game, and enjoy a burger.

I try not to post negative reviews but I do not recommend the flank steak. I saw it (flank steak,…read morechimmichurri sauce, mashed potatoes, and broccoli) at $29 and said I haven't ordered a steak in while, let's treat myself. Boy was I disappointed, it was literally four tiny slices of beef, about a ladle and a half of mashed potatoes (flavor was great but the texture was dry and it was hard to swallow), and the broccoli was broccoli. The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) but it was room temp and I would describe that serving size as maybe the equivalent of a medallion. Everything else our table ordered (pizza, shepherd's pie, and a burger) looked great but the flank steak is not it y'all. However the service was top notch and will definitely go back, just won't order the flank steak next time!
