This place had a lot of great reviews so we decided to check it out while visiting Boston. Must say I was a little underwhelmed by the whole experience. There was over an hour wait just to get into the store. Normally, I wouldn't stand in line for that long but talking to folks in line, made me excited about the food. When we finally made it to the front of the line, everything moved pretty fast. You should know what you want and how to order it. Fortunately, it was all brunch food so nothing took too long to actually make. Because they store is so busy, they don't seat you until you get your food so don't even think about saving seats or anything like that ahead of time. After all that, it was time to actually eat. We actually ordered a little bit of everything, huevos rancheros, Boston cream pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, and a breakfast omelette. Everything sounds delicious right? Maybe it was all the hype of this place but every entree is pretty average. Nothing about the flavors really stood out. If I closed my eyes and took a bite of the food, I wouldn't have been able to tell if it was from here or ihop. Given the long wait time and the raving reviews, I expected something a little more. Overall, pretty average experience. The food is decent though, just not exceptional. read more

Nothing Special, super crowded and the food was Mediocre; something i can make at home o read more

Brunch by definition is yummy and easygoing. The paramount is reasonably yummy, but definitely not easygoing - with all of the bumping into people trying to get in and out and to tables and to order. The line was just inside the door when I came in, and after a 30-minute wait I was so stressed out I just wanted to eat and leave. Not the way brunch should be. Food was good, but not great - banana pancakes were tasty but all bananas were in the middle of the pancake. The meal wasn't cheap either. i might come back if I'm in the neighborhood, but would definitely scope out other brunch joints before coming back on purpose. read more

The Paramount - Waiting in line, sigh - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

There was 0 food choices and terrible service. They don't serve breakfast at night and they don't ask for what to drink.

Overall it is just Meh. It is sort of a Boston institution so if you are a tourist it is worth one visit, but not a second visit. And if you are a local, the only reason to go is if you have out of town visitors. It is a small grill specializing in breakfast and lunch. You stand in line (15 min to an hour) to place your order, you stand in line and watch them cook your food, you stand in line to pay, THEN they will find you table to sit down and eat. Sitting at a table without food is not allowed. The food is fresh and good. Both the eggs and pancakes are well prepared. They are a bit skimpy on the toppings that go in the pancakes and omelets. Since all of the is prepared quickly on a regular grill, there is a little bit of spillage between orders. Even the pancake have a slight onion and bacon smell, but that is part of the charm. The dining area is tight but clean. The 2 unisex bathrooms are not quite as clean and fresh as the restaurant (Hint: they do not smell like bacon and I doubt the sticky floor is spilled syrup ). read more

The Paramount is probably my favorite breakfast place in Boston. Their pancakes are fluffy and their eggs are amazing. Everything is cooked to order right in front of your eyes. As you arrive, the line sometimes reaches all the way to the door and around the outside. You order at the counter and after paying someone instructs you to a table. Let me tell you, anything you order will be good. It is not a fancy place but it does not get any better. Not a place for you to work on your computer either. This is strictly order, eat, go. read more

The Paramount - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food was great. Lots of options - perhaps too many for this food fanatic who's on a budget. It was torture standing there in line watching all the delicious looking plates of waffles, pancakes, sandwiches, etc. stream by. It was even worse seeing people leaving half of dishes untouched. I was tempted to reach over and finish it off - no good food should go to waste! Down one star because the wait was long and the space is tight, which can be annoying as the staff is slamming dishes into the bins right behind you or trying to squeeze past you with a dirty cart. read more

The Paramount - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I have long heard the glorious brunch at the Paramount. A popular restaurant that doesn't take reservation? Typical. I thought I could swing by, scribble my name on the waitlist, and grab a cup of coffee nearby while waiting for a table to become available. Boy, was I wrong! When I arrived around 11 am on a Saturday morning in a group of three, I immediately saw a line winding through the door. It was a cold wintery morning. After getting lost and multiple detours on our way, we were all famished. I volunteered to find out the wait time, only to discover that there is no hostess. The restaurant runs on a self-serve system, in which you physically wait in line to place your order. Only after you get your food can you sit down and pig out. I tried to work my way through the crowd to get a sense of the wait, but it was nearly impossible. Determined to see what the hype was about, my friends and I chose to wait what came to be almost an hour. I was born with a sweet tooth. Naturally I ordered the Fresh Caramel and Banana French Toast. It consisted of 3 slices of toasts. They were grilled to golden perfection -- the edges were a little crunchy but the center was soft and airy. The toasts were topped with fresh, sliced bananas, and drizzled with caramel and powdered sugar. The fluffy toasts soaked up the caramel perfectly -- they were just the right texture, not too soggy. The caramel was rich and not overly sweet. Every bite was oh so delightful. In the end, I devoured it all, and my belly thanked me happily. My friends, on the other hand, each ordered the 222 -- 2 eggs, 2 sausages, and 2 pancakes. They came in generous portions with a few slices of toasts and home fries on the side. My friends were full and satisfied. They also enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice. I was on a health kick and decided to have plain H2O instead. I would give the food a solid 5. The service style was interesting and unique. I wasn't certain whether I should tip since it's mostly self-served, but I did anyway. IMO, the restaurant was rather small to accommodate the mass of loyal customers. The line never cease to die down. We were seated in a corner, and the line of people was moving right pass by me in close contact. I wished the place was a bit more roomy, so I could have more personal space to comfortably enjoy my food. We also felt bad to linger, so we left immediately after we finished our meals to give up our seats. Overall it was a pleasant experience dining here. Was it worth the wait? Come and find out for yourself! read more

Get here early! The line gets ridiculous after the early AM. We got there at about 9:25AM on a Saturday and got our food and table at 10:10AM. Worth it. This places HUSTLES so you wait, wait, wait and then EAT EAT EAT! The menu is pretty extensive for a place that moves at such a fast pace. I recommend literally anything with fruit on it. Fresh fruit parfait, waffle and fruit, fruit with pancakes....you get the picture. I did a sausage, egg and cheese on an everything and it was good. I'm a bagel snob so I have to deduct a few points there. Even the drink menu is lengthy! I got an iced coffee and the boyfriend got a fresh squeezed lemonade. I would go back just to try all of the juices! The prices are super reasonable. Two meals, two sides and two drinks for $37. That's a good deal in my book! read more

3.5 stars to be exact. I am definitely a fan of their food but it requires me quite a determination if I were to come back here. Virtue is... PATIENCE. This place requires patience during weekends as it gets packed. Make sure if you are not running on tight schedule of that day. The queue is long and *appear* to be eternal or grid locked. But they are not really. It moves relatively swiftly. Maybe it took us 5 minutes to reach the kitchen counter to order food from the time we got on the queue. And food? It was quite rewarding after patiently waiting in the long queue. sausage links were generously big and eggs tasted quite fresh. If you have absolutely nothing to do in the weekend and are wondering what to do? Why don't you come to this place and jump start your day with tasty brunch? read more

Texas Toast Style French Toast: three thick slices of buttery goodness, covered in fresh fruit! The texture of the French toast was like bread pudding. At 7:30 am after a long flight cross country, this is JUST what I needed! I regret nothing! Wait, only that I did not return for seconds, before heading back to California. My side of red potatoes were cooked to perfection, and tasted like bacon grease. Healthy? NO. Delicious?! YES! I will absolutely be visiting the Paramount again, upon my next trip! read more

The Paramount is a small tight restaurant that has magically used every square inch of the small space they have with efficient staff who make sure no one waits for a table. We sampled different types of food and sampled it all together. Delicious and the some of the best value for the quality of food! We will definitely be back on our next trip! read more

I'm torn. Is it the hype that's given this place such popular status? Or is it really the food? Finally, was able to make it to Paramount today. The line was as rumored -- ridiculous. I don't think I've ever waited this long for breakfast. It was so torturous that a man had fainted in line because it was so long! An ambulance and the entire EMT shabang came out! ...How exciting. The biggest annoyance was not only the line, but because the place is so tiny, there are about 30 people waiting in line inside while people are eating 2 feet away from you. Talk about claustrophobia for the waiters and the diners. I almost fainted towards getting to the front of the line because there is no OXYGEN up there. (Total wait today- 1 hour and 30 minutes) I felt like a prisoner on Charles Street waiting in line to get my food...take thy tray, slide it down. (Ironically they probably get their food faster than me. hah!) 1) Expect a line 2) Cafeteria style- everything is made to order and you slide on down with your food. Pay first, then you are allowed to sit 3) The place is so small there are limited tables. So, why is it that no one really sits on the right side of the restaurant along the walls?!?! I'm so puzzled. They could really use some logic to make things more efficient in that place. The system is clearly JACKED. WAKE UP PARAMOUNT. WE WOKE UP FOR BREAKFAST, so please do something! 4) Besides the logistical nuances, the food is good. Can't figure out if it was because I was starved I had the Western Omelette (ham, cheese, peppers, onions), served with homefries and toast ($8.50) and added a side of turkey sausage ($4). Eggs average, homefries good. Turkey Sausage looked so delicious and is quite tasty. Also, tried the French Toast. I do have to say, its the best French Toast I've had. Something they do with the sweet batter that gives it a crunch is what will get me back there. Normally french toast gets soggy, and theirs is perfect and not too heavy. When you eat like this, things do add up, so expect some $$$. I'm mixed on my first time, but I will say, an interesting breakfast experience. ***I think the 4 stars actually means 3 1/12 stars read more

Love this place!! The Paramount is cafeteria style, meaning you get your food first before you're seated. Which thinking about that is weird, but there is always seating for you by the time you get your food, so don't worry! My first time here, I waited about an hour since I came here during its peak hours during brunch on a weekday. I thought it wasn't going to worth the wait, but boy was I wrong! I got a breakfast sandwich, and everything about that was cooked to perfection. The eggs, the meat, and even the English muffin was nice and soft! I also had home fries, and those were probably the best I've ever had. I came here a second time and the wait wasn't as long, even though it was a Sunday. This time around, I ordered chocolate chip pancakes with berries and that was super yummy! The pancakes were fluffy and the berries were ripe and combined well with my pancakes. I love the service there and everyone does everything with a smile and they never hestitate or question you on anything. I would totally recommend The Paramount to anyone, and even though it gets packed and there is not much space, it's a nice, cozy feeling. read more

The Paramount - Chocolate chip pancakes with berries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Beware of the long lines on the weekend. It does go by pretty quick but do not expect to be eating soon if you're by the door when the line starts. First time to the Beacon Hill area and could not have found a better spot for weekend breakfast. The area is so quaint and The Paramount fits in perfectly. The line is pretty efficient. You wait in line until you get to the counter to order your food. You watch the cooks make your food and when you are handed your meal, you pay right there. After doing so, you are then seated somewhere in the restaurant by the friendly waiters. We sat near the front of the restaurant by the windows and we couldn't have asked for better seats. Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Strawberries: Light, fluffy, yet delicious pancakes. The order comes with three large pancakes and they put a ton of strawberries on my plate. Loved the chocolate chips in the pancakes and the fresh strawberries on top. Pouring syrup over everything was the icing on the cake. Tomato, Basil, and Mozzarella Omelette with Sweet Potato Fries: I love the combination of tomato/basil/mozzarella. They tasted super good in an omelette and the cheese was still gooey on the inside. I was delighted to see that they had Cholula hot sauce on the table because I like a little kick to my omelettes. The tomatoes tasted fresh and the basil flavor was on point. You can tell the basil had a strong flavor but not overpowering. I'm a big fan of sweet potato fries over regular fries and was happy to see that it was only a $1 extra for the substitute. Overall a pretty good place for breakfast/lunch. Love the neighborhood and be sure to check out the famous Acorn Street after having a meal here. read more

Our trip to Boston started with the Paramount. The first place we stopped and visited when we got here. Walked almost a mile from our hotel to get here. The line was out the door. Some of the seating in here is intertwined with the line to order your food. The line goes all the back into the restaurant and wraps itself in itself. Literally. How these guys keep everything in order? No clue. The chefs taking orders never stop. Order after order after order. And somehow, they keep it all together. Very impressive. The staff is nice. Although the entire operation is a mess, they keep their cool and get things done the right way. Everything is priced fair. If something has their "smoked feta" then I recommend you order it. Knowing what I know now, would I wait that long again for this place? Probably not. The wait can get long. Our line was right up to the front door and we waited almost 25 min to order. I'd come back if the wait wasn't too long. read more

This place sucks. The staff is RUDE. It's WAYYYY OVERPRICED too. We got standard eggs and potatoes and toast. With that you about 10 small pieces of potatoes two eggs and a small piece of toast. We asked for Bacon on the side and that took an extra ten minutes after our breakfast was served. All the times we asked they looked at us rudely like we were speaking a foreign language. When you say thank you to the staff they just look at you. We came early in the morning before the rush as well. I really wonder what the attention is all about here. It shows the lack of good breakfast places in the area. You could open a good spot next door and put these people out of business in a month. read more

I came here for brunch around 10 AM on a Sunday and there was already a line out the door. The seating for this place was really weird. You had to order and pay before getting seated. While it is an effective system, I felt rushed. I ordered the chorizo omelette and it was good mainly because of the pico de gallo topping. The home fries lacked flavor and tasted cold. The french toast and waffles looked really good, so maybe get that if you come here. read more

When I went to this establishment I was in need of a hardy breakfast. I had just gotten off a long night of working construction with my friends dads company where I use power tools and hand tools. This is hard work that I am capable of doing no matter what anyone says. A coworker joined me for breakfast and brought his girlfriend. I ordered the French toast with bananas because my doctor recent told me that with the amount of cigarettes I smoke at my hard construction blue collar job that I have a potassium deficiency. I don't think I need to quit smoking but I do think bananas have helped my overall health. I had a slight stomach ache because my blood sugar was low but this meal filled my stomach and had be back into health. My experience here was great and I loved the staff. My only complain would be the toilet paper was far too rough. read more

As a person who loves dining at places with a bit of history, it was a no brainer for me to try this 85 year old breakfast joint. This place was a hot topic on Boston food blogs and came recommended by several of the Uber drivers I met. I ordered the Boston Cream Pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs and sausage. The pancakes tasted exactly as it sounds like a Boston Cream Pie! I thought it tasted great! The eggs were simple and the sausage was decent. The portion size was huge. My fiancé ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs. The corned beef hash although was a large size portion it was not the greatest tasting. If you are a corned beef hash enthusiast you will likely not like it. The place was fairly expensive for a breakfast stop. Without even ordering drinks the above meal costed $46. The ambiance was very crowded. Although it does have a nice flow allowing you to find a spot to eat, you will likely be rubbing elbows with customers waiting in line while you are eating your breakfast. The customer service was fair and so was the cleanliness. In my opinion, this is a place you try once for the experience. read more

Such a great brunch this weekend! I went with four other friends and we all loved everything. I got a mimosa to start with, I like it with hardly any OJ but other than that it was a good breakfast drink. For my meal I got the tomato, basil, mozzarella omelette. It was so yummy. I love the home fries that come on the side they were perfectly crispy. The toast was cold but that's hard to keep warm with so much food to bring out. We also got chocolate chip pancakes for the table and they were delicious. They had cinnamon in them and it was such a good touch! Loved everything here it was really great! read more

This was an awesome hole in the wall brunch spot in the heart of Beacon Hill. I had come to visit some friends in Boston and one of them suggested we try out this spot. Be warned that this place gets PACKED and there's a line but overall from door to ordering to being seated, it was around 30 ish minutes? Which for a Saturday morning is really not bad. This place is special in that you're not seated until you order and receive your food and it actually does work out very well (trust me, I was skeptical at first). I would definitely recommend a visit here for delicious brunch cooked to order right in front of you and for a delicious bite in Beacon Hill. I have it bookmarked and saved and I will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area! I had the chorizo omelet and it was soooooo goood. read more

Been to Boston twice and both times we went here. It's in a cute neighborhood so that's a must visit. But I honestly don't see the hype here in terms of food. Maybe I just got spoiled by the awesome brunch places here in SF? Line is long but it does move. You have a lot of time to keep changing your mind on what to order. Have tried ther banana caramel french toast (good), omelette (ok), pancakes (good), coffee (not bad), potatoes (ok). After you order and get your food, they will help you find a table and will even bring the tray for you. Service is good. One gripe is the line blocks the bathroom. So you have to navigate through the lines just to get to the bathroom and sometimes that door gets blocked because of people waiting in line. It's an institution, so I guess you can try it. Or you can find other brunch places and see if they're good. read more

I enjoy coming to this place! There will be a crazy line on the weekends! No reservations! ***PLACE*** Has a cafeteria/diner hybrid feel to the place. You walk in, order first, get food, and then sit down. If your food isn't ready by the time you sit down, they bring it to your table. The place is not too big (although standard-size for Beacon Hill). Thus it gets PACKED on the weekends, especially for brunch (line out the door), but the lines moves pretty fast. I waited in line about 25min most recently on a Sat morning (got there at 940am for 10am date with friend). **SERVICE*** They often have refreshments outside (especially in the summer) to keep people happy (lemon water!). This past weekend they brought out little cups of OJ for everyone. A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I've never had issues with the service. They are soooo nice! I forgot to get cream for my coffee when I was at the register and they brought me some to my table. **FOOD** - Dinner: I've only had dinner to go here once. I had the salmon tacos. Decent - Brunch: Most recently I got the special = two eggs (sunny-side up), meat (two bacon strips), home fries, and two pancakes ($13). I also got coffee. Pricing is pretty standard for some places in Boston which are on the pricier end (versus tastier Somerville places). Food was decent. Would have liked a little more home fries for the price. My main neg critique are the pancakes: good but somewhat bland. - My friend got their popular Fresh Banana & Caramel French Toast. He really liked it. Overall I would say it's 3.5 in my book. Food is prob a 3 (good but no fireworks so far). But service/experience brings it up. Since overall I do enjoy coming here, gotta give it the 4. read more

two local first-timers walked into this place early Sat (half hour after opening) bc one of them has heard about its fame; smart enough to come early and beat the traffic, but not smart enough to see the giant wall sign stating how the system works. seeing a few empty tables and a 15-people line (ie. not yet out the door), were tempted to grab a seat first but decided to wait like everybody else. good thing, coz otherwise it would be quite embarrassing. half way (about 10 min) into our line (which moved at reasonable speed, btw), we finally figured out the unspoken rule. but mind was distracted at the moment by their extensive menu (half of them breakfast and half lunch stuff); was sooo torn between pancakes, French toast, and waffle. but then the home fries looked really good too! counter sign introduced a special: blueberry waffle at $8 - now i could settle the case and use the facility at the bend of the line. convenient. another 10 min of watching how streamlined their system worked behind the counter, it was our turn to order. food and payment was handled relatively quickly, if chaotic at time (ex. the diner two persons behind me almost took my waffle bc i had moved up and obviously no one remembered what i ordered, but it was rectified)...just be prepared to state your order to various people multiple times. then we were led to our seats by a wait staff, who also carried our food and utensils. all good. now let me just say this: FLUFFIEST. WAFFLE. EVER. allow me to preface my predicament: i inadvertently had a bowl of oatmeal about 3 hours prior, so between a body that was seriously lacking sleep (ie. slow metabolism) and that hard-digesting clump sitting like a block of cement in my stomach currently, i seriously doubted i could eat more than a wedge of that giant waffle the size of my face. but i finished it without much effort and without even realizing it, bc it was so damn light. andddd delicious! so that and a fresh squeezed OJ, plus tax and tip (tip jar at the cashier counter), it was a $15 breakfast. not bad for Beacon Hill, but obviously won't be an everyday thing given the line and the wait. we got there early so there was plenty of street parking available; different story when we left. just arrive early if you want great food without all the hustle bustle. read more

Recently, the Paramount has changed its seating policy. Customers must order at the counter and once they have gotten their food, find a table to sit at. This restaurant did not used to be an order -at -the- counter kind of place, and customers are not allowed to save tables before getting their food. This must be a very recent policy change and from my perspective it is not coming off well. A party of eight decided to go elsewhere for breakfast because there were no tables and since there was no way to put a name down on a waiting list, they left. Besides the new situation and if you want to wing it to try and find a table, the food is delicious, hearty and simple. Classic breakfast food and friendly staff. read more

This is unlike any breakfast place I've been to, but when I got to Boston, my aunt told me about this local breakfast place that had one of the best breakfasts she had tried. So I had to tag along. I will say the surrounding neighborhood of this restaurant is gorgeous, so if you want to walk around after you finish your breakfast, definitely take your time. This is a small restaurant with a long line, but the key to this place is that long line. It takes about 25-30 minutes to get through the line but by the time you get through there is a table available to you. This is the type of place you get your food, eat, and then get up. And the bussers are quick with the clean up and assisting you finding a table. It's an open kitchen so you get to see everything getting made, although sometimes that makes it hard to choose. I went simple with breakfast special and a side of a waffle....once you see them, you'll understand why you add the waffle. Everything was hot and flavorful and perfect for an early morning breakfast. The service is quick and efficient. Do not expect long conversations here because they are busy and trying to serve each customer. I did notice some people who were regulars who had some small talk, but it was still quick. I will definitely be back when I'm in Boston. read more

Before I talk about the food, let me tell you...it's super confusing getting here by cab! Haha. It took a super long time getting here when it should've took 10 minutes. Their pancakes are AMAZING. They were huge and super fluffy. I can never finish two pancakes, but somehow I managed to devour all of it. That's how delicious they were. It wasn't that packed when I got there because it was around 3PM-ish, but it was kind of inconvenient to maneuver through the restaurant. I can't imagine how it's like when it gets super busy. I kind of expected it to be a sit down and order restaurant, but it's okay. The amazing pancakes makes up for it. Can't wait to try other things on the menu! read more

We trekked out here in the pouring rain on our recent trip to Boston. This is such a cute little place. I don't know how it works, but the system works. Apparently since 1932! You wait in line to order your food and by the time you reach the end, your food is ready, you have paid and a table is available for you to sit down and enjoy your delicious breakfast. Cooked in front of your eyes, no less! The service is great. The staff are helpful and friendly. The wait staff are super efficient at clearing and cleaning off the tables to ensure no one is waiting. The food!! Oh the food is fresh and delicious. I had the grilled cheese with the potato hash. The grilled cheese was gooey. Not over or under cheesy. It was just perfect. The hash is supposedly seasoned but I didn't really taste very much seasoning. My husband had the Spanish omelette and loved it. The omelette was light and fluffy. Not greasy at all. The food is fresh and of a high quality. This breakfast was literally the best meal I had on my 3 days in Boston. The lineup outside in the pouring rain speaks volumes. What are you waiting for?! Go try it out. You won't be disappointed :) read more

Small diner that has a large selection of good stuff. We sat outside the place for a bit just to rest on a hot July day and overheard some locals walk by remarking that this place was pretty good. After confirming this with Yelp we decided to just hop in and grab an afternoon snack. Luckily it was around 3pm so there wasn't much of a line. I ordered the waffle with fruit on top. Can't complain about it - didn't wow me either though. I would go back if I was in the area and was craving some good, simple, wholesome diner food. It sounds like the place gets busy during normal eating times so I'd probably target an in-between hour! read more

This was a great breakfast place. Keep in mind that the place is not very big and you can only get a table after you have ordered so seating is not guaranteed. You can make your own by pick what you would like on a display of breakfast items such as bacon, sausage, veggies, cheese, etc or, you can ordered one of many great dishes off of their menu. I had the California Avocado Toast! Oh it was so good! They put a good amount of avocado, topped with tomato salsa, bacon bits, and two sunny side up eggs on top of a toasted white baguette. It was perfect. My bf ordered their french toast with a side of fruit. The toast was great and the syrup was not overwhelmingly sweet. Overall, everything was really good. read more
