The Local Table Acton, MA: 81/351

I'm flabbergasted that there was only 7 people here for breakfast at 10:30 on a Saturday morning...this place should be packed to the rafters.

It's out of my local zone, so, I ordered a few things, to get the taste.

"Green" eggs Benedict (spinach V. meat) w/homefries, smoky hash, 1 piece of French toast. YUMMO! Nice bright, fresh flavors. The homefries were large chunk red bliss potato. The hash was obviously made in-house and was very tasty. The French toast is thick, brioche style. 

The flavor & quality of the food, put this place near the top of my breakfast places.

2 minor glitches (I hope the 2nd was a simple oversight V. padding to make up for small crowd)
- they forgot to add Hollandaise sauce....I even checked to see if maybe they normally didn't use sauce on their "Green" Benedict....they brought it quickly.
- I noticed a $3.00 charge for my homefries (suppose to be included)...my server called it a glitch. Hope everyone else finds it, IF, it pops up on your bill.

If you like breakfast.....YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE!!!

Big "Yay!!"

Leggos : Holbrook, MA 80/351

Truly dreadful. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks this slop qualifies as Food.
_________

I had the Leggo Benedict (eggs Bene w/ham) and a side order of 1 French toast. Problem #1. Mass produced/previously frozen homefries...YUCK! #2. English muffin was barely, if that, cooked/toasted/grilled. #3. They actually put the eggs bene on TOP of a very thin slice of ham (Oscar Myer deli meat??)....Bizarre! #4. Even the French toast had a funny taste (sorry, I'm not good at describing flavors)...Horrible is a good enough descriptor for me.

Do not eat breakfast here or you're literally pissing your $$ away

Cowbells Cafe : Whitman, MA 79/351

Cute little place. Tasty coffee. Above average homestyle cornbeef hash. Asked for a single French toast, it was very yummy. This place has a small menu. There wasn't an eggs Bene.

One drawback (for me anyway)...they have hashbrowns Vs. homefries. Y'all know I prefer fresh diced red bliss potatoes.

Also, the bathroom is very poorly accessible, bad, especially if you have kids in tow.

Almost tempted to say, "Nay." But, the cornbeef hash & French toast saved the day.

"Yay!"

Sippican Cafe   Marion, MA: 78/351

Small town, nice place with a patio & open kitchen...lots of potential. Unfortunately they do not know how to do breakfast. Had eggs Florentine: I liked the ingredients, spinach, mushroom, tomatoes. However, the Hollandaise sauce was dull.

And it truly Failed at homefries....yuck!! Preprocessed crap.

"Nay!!"..... what a shame. This place could be fab, if they found themselves a great Chef.

Toast ...Hull, MA: 77/351

I tentatively give it a "Yay". Coffee was decent & the cinnamon French toast was pretty good. NOT as good as my all-time fav. I was disappointed in the brown potatoes in the homefries. I should have been more assertive and requested 1/2 cinnamon FT and 1/2 Creme Brulee FT....that way I could have tasted both and it would have been a good test on customer service.

It's not a "drive out of the way" type worthiness. But, I'll probably go back to try that CBFT.

 The Breakfast Nook, Wareham, MA: doesn't count toward my town/city total.

This is for my co-worker, Robbie, he wants more updates.

Well, Robbie....this place is a "Nay!".

They're certainly very friendly here, but, the food is not worthy. I had regular eggs Bene w/homefries. The Hollandaise sauce was bland and the homefries were very dry, brown potatoes. Yuck.

Don't worry Rob...I'll let ya know when I find something good.

Hole in One, Orleans, MA: 76/351...there was a lot of positive reviews and a huge crowd at the door, so, I expected a treat. Nope. Started with a crabby waitress, I commented, "Crowd is nothing new! right? You've been doing this a while?"....she replied, "Yeah, 30 yrs"....OK then lady...no excuse for your attitude.

A got the garden eggs Benedict...spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms. Tomatoes were light pink, far from bright red & fresh, the mushrooms seemed like the type you pour out of a can. Lame!

Homefries are dreadful...mass produced, school cafeteria quality. Yuck. I tried the "homemade" corn beef hash..I doubt it! Very dry.

Seems a lot of people rave about the donuts....certainly hope they're better than breakfast.

"Nay!"
