Craig's Cafe

Went there with my friend and his wife for the first time yesterday. Our server was very friendly and provided excellent service. We had to wait for our food. But it was worth the wait. Definitely will go back there again.

I recommend the Waffle Benedict. Crispy, sweet waffle with a well poached egg, crispy bacon, sausage and ham. The home fries are good, but not exceptional. Also, friendly wait staff and self-serve coffee.

The food was pretty good so it’s unfortunate the rest of the experience wasn’t. This was our first time here and it seems out of the ordinary based on the other reviews but the service was terrible. It was not busy, in fact there were 4 servers standing around and only about 6 active tables. We were told to seat ourselves and she’d be right with us then sat outside for 15min without anyone acknowledging us or giving us menus. We then went inside in hopes of better service but had to ask to be served. I had to ask for a menu, then for a water, then on her third trip ask if I could order. The food took about 40min for 2 people with uncomplicated orders and came out wrong before they realized it on their own and fixed it. Not a big deal, like I said the food tasted good and now we had full, happy bellies. But it again took a long time for our check to be picked up and then she ran my card twice... We are pretty patient and not high maintenance when we go out to eat, especially for a casual Sunday morning breakfast, but this was a bit ridiculous.

I come here all the time with a more local friend, and I must tell you: it's always a very pleasing experience. The most memorable thing is always the staff - they're genuinely personable, friendly, kind, and above all, fun. If you like a combination of homemade rich breakfast recipes, value, 5-star service, and a staff better than Cheers at remembering you, make sure you try Craig's. Also, the cook is admirably passionate about cooking crafted breakfast dishes.

Been going here for many years. Still one of if not the best breakfast joints on the South Shore. Definitely a very casual place, and the prices are reasonable. Really good skillet-style breakfasts and bottomless coffees in a variety of great flavors.
