Solid brunch with a lively scene. Kid friendly and dog friendly as an added bonus. Getting there early on a Saturday is key. At 10 am we were seated immediately. 30 min later a small line started forming. Food did take a bit to come out because they had a lot of delivery and takeout orders coming in. It was surprisingly friendly - we were offered crayons and bendy sticks to play with along with a kids water without even needing to ask. Standard lunch kid food options for brunch. There is a nice outdoor seating area with a few tables where a few folks had brought their dog. The strawberry pancakes were addicting. I could have eaten 3 plates of them. Highly recommend. The heuvos rancheros was ok. Warning the salsa is very spicy. read more

Really good meal! Service was great, they recently got a liquor license so we had two nice cocktails! The buffalo chicken wrap was packed with chicken and really tightly wrapped, and the steak tacos were a good portion for being on the appetizer menu read more

My breakfast here was really great! There was about a thirty minute wait but we walked down the block to Annie's to get a coffee while we waited. Once we were seated, service was pretty fast. I got an egg avocado and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. It was so good!! The egg was perfectly fried with a runny yolk. I would definitely go back for this breakfast sandwich read more

Overall the Paramount is really solid. I really enjoyed the Chorizo omelette. On top of that, my table received great service from our waitress read more

Really enjoyed a breakfast burrito. You seat yourself. There was a bit of a wait and service was not exceptional, but the food made up for it. Reuben had a lot of meat in it. read more

Food is always great and the staff always treats you extra special. I go with my grandson almost every Saturday for breakfast and when I can on Wednesdays. He loves it there and so do I. read more

I'd stick to the pancakes the Mexican options frankly aren't good and the bacon egg and cheese had an uncooked egg. Will not be coming back here. Service was pretty good and they were friendly but I wouldn't say any one went above and beyond by any means. Ambience was too plain and the seating arrangement was awkward. read more

The Paramount is more of a traditional brunch restaurant that serves brunch every day. Menu isn't too crazy but not too basic. I ordered a Ham, Egg and Cheese on a bagel. My friend and I split the Caramel and Banana French Toast. Sandwich was loaded with every ingredient and very filling. The french toast was a great sweet treat. Service was very nice! Overall, I prefer more unique brunch dishes but I would tell my friends to visit for a nice, simple breakfast :) read more

Hidden gem! Extremely popular for brunch, but open for dinner. Family friendly. Great menu variety. Friendly service. Diner atmosphere. Nice touches like cucumber in water and complimentary fresh bread with Homemade hummus. read more

Service and meals were great! Definitely worth the wait. Oj tasted fake and not fresh squeezed.

Terrible customer service, rude manager. DO NOT EAT HERE. Manager snatched food from my hand and had an attitude because we inquired about a delayed order read more

Not bad. Slow service even though we were the only people in the restaurant. Food is good and classic American. Had the wrap and orange juice as it was brunch. read more

Have only had their breakfast food and I don't know why I keep coming back. Food isn't bad but it is definitely not good. Pretty overpriced too. Service is pretty mid. Feels kind of gross to be inside too. If you're in southie there's 5 other places I would go to before I think about going here. read more

The food was delicious! We dined there for brunch and had a great time. I ordered the cinnamon swirl French toast and boy were they moist, buttery and the right amount of sweet. I had a side of applewood bacon and ordered a mimosa flight. The flight was delicious. The peach flavor was my favorite. The restaurant was not too loud so we were able to talk which was nice. There was about a 25 minute wait after we added our names to the list which wasn't bad. The service was quick and they were nice. We took an Uber there because parking in southie can be tough and expensive. 10000% recommend. read more

I ordered two items for delivery via DoorDash. I ordered a Reuben & a BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad. My order arrives and it's not my order. My name isn't Lauren. I used DoorDash, not Uber Eats. The restaurant mixed up orders and gave my DoorDash driver an Uber Eats order! I called the restaurant and they acknowledged my order was still there. I asked for a refund or re-delivery. I figured this was a very reasonable request. I was wrong! I was informed it was not their problem and there would be no refund. I did get my money back from DoorDash. I placed another order so I wouldn't have to skip dinner. They could've cared less about the issue. I did let them know I'd leave a one star review. They could've cared less. That tells me all I need to know about their customer service, food quality, and attitude. If I could leave zero stars, I would. read more

The waitress took orders from 3 of us without writing it down . My friends said she was going to forget things . I was positive and gave her credit that she wouldn't .. unfortunately I was waaaaay off and the worst part of it is that it was my order she messed up ... in short write things down and avoid the small mistakes that can ruin someone's day read more

I think the most amazing part of this place is that they serve brunch all day 7 days a week. However, this visit I came for the burger. There is two hour parking on the street. Spots can be hard to find so plan accordingly. There are some who would double park (I saw guys in pickups get away with doing that) but I don't have that kind of privilege. There is still limited capacity and the high top seating is limited. I visited with a friend for lunch (early cheat day treat...I admit that I might need to redefine my application of cheat day). We both ordered the Paramount burger with Parmesan truffle fries. My brioche bun was toasted perfectly and the burger patty was SEASONED. I was pleasantly surprised at this. The toppings were fresh and the pickles were a perfect balance of sweet and tart (I got extra on the side). The fries were a little soggy and lacking in Parmesan flavor. Customer service was great. My friend is a frequent customer and she was greeted and asked after by her usual server. It was like a "Cheers" moment at the Paramount. I would definitely return. read more

The pulled pork sandwich was very tender and would recommend heavily. Truffle fries were also really good, can definitely taste the truffle and the parm was a nice touch. The waffle was ok, nothing really special and went cold kind of quickly. Also had a mimosa here which was very standard. Overall would recommend! read more

Holy cow. How are more people not raving about this place? Came for dinner and had AMAZING food. The glazed jerk wings were off the hook and the Crispy Chicken Sandwich was phenomenal. Sat outside on a beautiful night and the ambience was delightful. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this place for dinner. I know it's more commonly known as a brunch place but don't miss dinner here. It's fabulous! read more

They had pasta and milk also the waiters were nice and gluten free meals so good place10/10

Our server Elizabeth was great. Nice attention to detail and allowed us to move to a shady table. Zucchini Sticks were great with lots of snap and the grated cheese and marinara were fresh and delicious. My al pastor burrito was so well made with fresh ingredients and great flavor. I would highly recommend and can't wait to return. Request Elizabeth because she is a superb server. read more

Great service and the food was very tasty! Their cold brew was the perfect combo for brunch. Overall going back soon read more

You can find seat if there's a table are available, if not you probably have to wait. Once you're order are in, still waited approximately over 20 minutes or maximum just because they get other people who's order over the phone when you're there dining in person. It's just ridiculously how they taken orders over the phone and have the food sitting there when you're there dining there and the food not even exist. First, and last time I would ever go there again! The service is wack can't even have a 100% satisfaction not even an apology or any consideration when the food not even served over 20 minutes or maximum waiting period of time! This place doesn't deserve any STAR whatsoever! read more

Visited last week with my father for lunch. Previously had breakfast at The Paramount (which was delicious), however this place is usually jam packed on the weekends as the place is relatively small with roughly 15-20 tables in total. Restaurant is diner style, order first then sit down at a table. Last Thursday for lunch, it was very empty. Many food selections, ranging from all-day breakfast (with pancakes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, bagels and muffins) to a wide variety of lunch options from wraps, burgers, bowls, etc. plenty to choose from. Dad went with the chicken wrap, said it was delicious. Also enjoyed the sweet potato fries they had as a side option. I had the Paramount burger, add bacon. Although slightly under cooked, burger was full of flavor and fries were equally as good. Atmosphere is certainly a positive and food came out quick! 5/5 stars, will return, one of the better breakfast / lunch places in Southie. read more

Had a bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. The home fries side was dusted with a decent amount of seasoning and tasted fine but the bagel itself was gummy and nowhere near even half-decent ones I've had. Doubt I'll go again, but I'll give them some points for the potatoes which were the highlight for sure. read more

I absolutely love this place, always consistently great food, the staff is lovely and the atmosphere is low key/calm - perfect for dinner. I love that it's in the neighborhood, I go as often as I can! read more

Nice quick spot for either breakfast or lunch. There is no waiter service, except they do bring you your food after you order at the counter. I got the BBQ chicken salad and my friend got an omelet with broccoli, cheese, and avocado on the side. Prices are slightly high but not ridiculous. There is no other way to describe the food here except extremely average and nothing that a home chef couldn't make. read more

Another Paramount location if you're familiar with the Beacon Hill location! This one still had a bit of a line for the food, but we came around noon on a Sunday so totally expected. Much less of a wait and bigger space than the one in Beacon Hill though. Portions are huge, so $12 for a giant omelette, toast, and home fries is awesome. It's 9pm and I'm still not hungry lol. We did split the caramel and banana french toast so went a little overboard, but it was definitely worth the food coma that hit us right after. If you're unfamiliar with their policy, there are no reservations or waiting at tables prior to ordering your food. Everyone gets in line, orders food cafeteria style, and somehow, there will always be a table available. Very unique, but seems to work since they've been doing so since the 1930's! read more

Have eaten here a handful of times now. The staff are always friendly and service is always prompt! The burgers are good and the pancakes are even better. Only complaint I could possibly have is they could do with some new items on the menu every now and again seeing as though the menu only has a limited number of items you can get bored quickly. Other than that Paramount is a great eatery any time of the day! read more

The Paramount is a trendy, upscale diner with extremely accommodating workers. We got a Paramount Burger, Fried Calamari, and the Rice/Chick Pea/CheeseBall (forgot the name). The food did not particularly stand out to me, but the waitress knew we were splitting it between two people and cut the burger in half and gave us two separate plates with the half burgers, fries, and toppings. I would like to commend her for doing this! The burger and rice balls were average, however the calamari was delicious! That is my one recommendation here! :) RECOMMENDATION: ** Fried Calamari read more

I like this place. A great plus is that this is good for groups. Everyone orders individually and pays separately from everyone else and then you sit down. All of the food looks so good that it was hard to choose just one item, but that just means I have to go back there! I had a black bean omelette. There are plenty more omelettes to try but not a bad experience. Workers are nice and helps you to find a table. Nothing bad to say and would come back! read more

This is my favorite spot when I come to Boston! I make sure I hit it every time for Brunch! My 3rd time here! It's like a cafeteria style, that you order your food! But they have servers bring it to your table. It's nice you get to see them preparing all the stuff, in the little area! Lots of GOOD stuff going on! I have only eaten the one thing, on each trip here! The Huevos Ranchero! So flavorful, with the spice of the salsa, and that fresh avocado! My friend had French toast, and a ham and egg on a bagel! Can't wait to return to Boston for it! Need one of these in NYC!! read more

I had tried multiple times to visit the Beacon Hill location of this place, but discovered that there was one in Southie also! This place had no wait time (although maybe there is during peak brunch hours- we were there around 1pm on a Sunday). We had the Paramount Salad, Paramount Burger and the Caramel Banana French Toast and we were satisfied with all the food we got. Portions are very generous and the food just tastes homemade and hearty. This place has a casual diner feel, which is reflected by the prices, but the food is wholeheartedly satisfactory. I can see why this place is popular, and despite the possible wait times, I would still recommend it. I don't know why they do the whole "order and pay before you find yourself a table" thing, but whatever. I could see that process being confusing/annoying when there are a lot of people, but there was no crowd when we went there. LAST REVIEW OF THE YELP 100 CHALLENGE! read more

I've now eaten several brunches and dinners at paramount. The ordering and seating scheme makes the most of the small space and works out better than I initially though it would. For brunch, order at the counter and sit only after paying. My dining companions have been consistently pleased with omelettes, huevos rancheros, other egg dishes, bacon and the generous portions of pancakes. Coffee is decent and there is a good selection of teas. Servers bring your order out to the table only within 10 minutes. For dinner there is a table service. For lunch/dinner, the sweet potato/bean tacos are to die for! The service staff and cashiers are friendly and quick. They keep the tables turned over so there and generally no waiting for table to be cleaned. Sometimes on weekend mornings the line wraps all the way to the back of the restaurant but it moves fairly quickly. read more

$5 for "fresh squeezed" orange juice that is straight out of a plastic jug from stop and shop. Lol.
