Rochelle's: Acushnet, MA: 84/351. #1: don't sit at the counter when it's cold, blast of cold air from the door. Also, don't sit at the counter, if you don't like people standing behind you waiting for their table. They're right next to you, kinda creeps me out.

Food was mediocre at best and I tried the "specialty" cheese biscuit/roll...whatever. Seriously, it's nothing but a light pastry with a slice of white American cheese melted into one corner. What?!?

Big "Nay!"

Panino's: Mattapoisett, MA: 83/351 Even though they had good, homemade style hash, it's definitely a "Nay". 2 reasons: this is a bakery/eatery with "Texas" french toast on the menu, so, how is it possible NOT to have any? Homefries: brown potatoes with that ugly, tasteless orange all spice.

I was eyeballing the items in the bakery displays, but, due to my lack of enthusiasm, I skipped it.

5 South Main: Cohasset, MA 82/351: Tiny place, if I counted correctly, max. 26 seats. Breakfast ALL day on Sundays. I had the French toast "sampler" 1/2 cinnamon FT and 1/2 cinnamon bun FT. (Yes, massive sugar overload). Both items are homemade and very yummy. Fresh, hot, juicy bacon. My only quibble is the "homefries"....they're shredded style like hashbrowns. 2 problems this style, it doesn't lend to good seasoning and they get Cold very quickly, no matter where you get this type, you have to eat them right away.

I'll give it a "Yay".

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.
