Great prices and pleasing diner aesthetic. Omelette was a little dry but still quite tasty.

I recently moved out of Brighton and I miss this place so much. I thought there would be others like it elsewhere in the city... there are not. Not at these prices, anyway, so: worth a trip! I'll definitely be making one when I get a chance.

I live right down the street and go here ALL the time. I love their cheap menu and good service. I have never had a bad experience in all my visits. The wait staff is friendly and recognize my bf and I every time we go now. Go to-egg and cheese croissant with home fries with a iced coffee or chai tea. LOVE IT <3

Excellent greasy-spoon breakfast spot. Menu is 100% standard-fare for diners and super-cheap. Service is good. Like all brunch spots though, it does get crowded on the weekends. Be prepared to get there early, or wait a little for a table on Sat/Sun

A staple for when I have guests over and want to treat them to a hardy breakfast at a low cost. Good quality, never had to wait long for a table, and a go to for me as I live very close by.

One of my favorite places in Boston to get food, and come here all the time. great quick service for getting in and out. Never seen food cooked faster. Not pricey and good portions.good for breakfast or lunch, also the Iced coffee is probably the best iced coffee I've ever had anywhere-perfectly creamed and sugared.

Good food, good service, prices are not bad. No parking ( normal for the area ). Needs a coat of paint and some refresh but the service & food make up for that

I've been going to this place for over 12 yrs and I enjoy their limited menu. I have my favs and I stick with them. I'm never disappointed. I highly recommend this place if your not into a fancy atmosphere but some very yummy food...Warning: Sunday mornings are always CROWDED... You'll probably have to wait for a table

Brighton Cafe is a well known local place that specializes in breakfast, and diner lunch. They could probably update their decor, and it would be awesome if they put in booths. This place is packed for breakfast, and brunch on the weekends, so I generally avoid those times. I really enjoy their breakfast menu, as well as their club sandwiches. Their other items on the menu are hit or miss. The staff is generally friendly.The prices are reasonable, about what you would expect to pay for a mom & pop joint. I eat breakfast here a few times a month.

Walked in, waited for 15 minutes in an empty restaurant, and wasn't even offered a drink. Wait staff seemed too busy cleaning the floors to bother, so don't bother either.

Great food, really short waiting time. However, the scrambled eggs weren’t impressive and really dry because they do cook it in bulk. I would suggest single orders such as over-easy eggs. My boyfriend paid $2 for extra ham but all that came was a very thinly sliced piece. It was very disappointing. Add-one are not really worth your money. But everything else is great!

Good place to eat, friendly staff good location next to the T station. The food sometimes is under cooked and will complain if you ask them to make it well done. They never bring you napkins and bring you the bill before you are done eating. No refills and sometimes charge for things you don't eat. Only reason I have come is that the coffee is good. If you like mediocre service, getting ripped off and good coffee this is the place for you enjoy.

Awesome diner at great prices. Came here on a Saturday morning around 10 and was able to get a table of 7 after two kind gentlemen moved to a smaller table.I ordered two eggs, corned beef hash, wheat toast, and hash browns. We also split toasted blueberry muffins. All came over very quick and the service was very pleasant. At first I thought the portions were a bit small, but I still took home about a fourth of my meal for an afternoon snack. If you’re looking for a diner in the area, definitely give Brighton Cafe a try!

Don't leave many 5 stars and I can't this time although I really want to. This place has the prices of a place that isn't in the city and obviously is. Go here for good breakfast food and pay the prices of eating somewhere in small town Vermont. Great staff and it's extremely fast service every time that we've been in to eat. They also have wi-fi and outlets in the restaurant as well. Only reason why it's not 5 stars is that it could use some cleaning but you're not there for a Beacon Hill type of place, you're there to get inexpensive food and lots of it. Go there, often.

Nicely place for early morning breakfast. Not much options on the menu card but you can ask them to for food the way you want it to be and they will gladly do it for you. The prices are also relatively cheap.

What a lovely place to eat at. I believe its run all by one family with some hired cooks. Its a nice little breakfast food place. Note: they serve breakfast all day. They open around 6am and close at 4pm on most days so can't get dinner here but its still great! The food is made well and the service is attentive. Their banana smoothie are pretty good and I don't believe container anything but banana and ice haha. I usually get a breakfast combo here or the chicken tenders. Though I must say their omlets look very appetizing.

A humble but very friendly and warm place. We do breakfasts gatherings there with friends and we stay for a while. They give us free refills for coffee throughout our stay. The food is really cheap but the quality is excellent. For such large pancakes their price is really cheap.

This is our favorite breakfast place. It's one of the few places you can get eggs without being forced to get potatoes too. I love that you can get sides of different things and mix and match your meals. It is extremely affordable and always good.

Brighton Cafe is a perfect little diner for lunch. We frequented this wonderful place at least once a week for months and always enjoyed ourselves. Their service is always friendly, prices always affordable, great portions, and hands down the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Every time I return to Boston, Brighton Cafe is one of the five places I make sure to visit!

They just raised prices even though other mom and pop joints' prices remain the same. The food is slightly above mediocre at best, and the service spotty. How do they justify the price increases?
