Great breakfast spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Parking is limited, so plan accordingly, but definitely worth checking out.

Went to lunch with 4 friends. It was busy today, it being MLK Day. But didn't have to wait terribly long for a table. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the crispy chicken and hot honey sandwich with fries. Someone got the fish and chips and mentioned it was very good and the fish was very fresh. Everyone's portions we're generous. We've been there enough over the years to know that anything you order will be a delicious, quality meal.

The server was kind of new, learning her way, attentive, and helpful. Food rec'd rave reviewers from our out of town guests. That was good to hear. We were exhausted from several days in Concord and Lexington, where we didn't have a disappointing meal! We had french onion soup [needed to meld a bit more], burger [v good, "tots just potato"], turkey sandwich [oh, so good!], and fish & chips [good, the slaw was "incredible"] 7.5.25 Breakfast today was very good for 4 of us. Moderate 20-30 min wait; our server, Sam, was spot on, as she timed her visits for coffee and water refills, checking on orders to asking if we needed anything; great job! Cali omelet rec'd high praise, as did the eggs Benny Florentino [we asked for spinach]; the caprese omelet lacked punch of the basil pesto, even though I asked for extra; and, the single pancake for the table [a shared sweet treat] was a big hit! Then, it was off to the ferry for our guest, to start their transport home to DC, finishing a phenomenal July 4th visit for the Hingham Parade!

I was in town for a wedding and while the groomsmen got ready, the wives went for brunch and it was incredible! We were greeted by the friendliest staff and a steaming cup of coffee as soon as we were seated. We all raved about our dishes; all delicious and large portions! We loved that all the toast came from Fireking Bakery. As a huge craft beer lover, I was blown away by their offerings and looking for an excuse to go back for lunch or dinner for another amazing meal accompanied by a local craft beer!

I love coming here as it's a hidden gem w/in the south shore and whenever I am in the area, I have to stop by for their awesome breakfast. I am becoming a regular at this place which is great as it's so warm and welcoming. Love the holiday spirit in there and just overall feel of the place. Pictures are from 3 different times that I have visited on the weekends. The menu stays the same however I always try to take advantage of the specials that happen every weekend. It is never the same so always try their awesome food. I love so far their Breakfast Tacos and the "Cali" Eggs Benedict. But will be looking forward to trying other menu options soon. Please come by for breakfast or if you're looking to swing by later in the day, it is the place to be.

Stars is are go to for a quick easy meal. But tonight was exceptional. I ordered off their specials menu lobster ravioli with sun dried tomato’s , asparagus and a delicious cream sauce. It was spectacular !

What a great find and apparently I was the last to find it . If you’re going to visit on a Saturday morning you better get there early. The lines started backing up just before 10:00 am. One of the daily special items was blueberry cornbread. That may have been the best corn bread I’ve ever had. The staff waded friendly and the food was served quickly and hot. All was delicious and the full bar was a nice touch . The views from the window seats were great. This jewel was well worth the drive into Hingham and was what I missed might say a destination breakfast.
