Dined at the Talk of the Town two Sunday's ago and was impressed by both the food, the waitstaff, and the prompt delivery of the food. Had a great omelette, but more impressive was the Sausage Egg & Cheese on a Bagel I saw my buddy eat, it looked like the best breakfast sandwhich I had ever seen and I'll be trying it next time I'm there.

Very nice waitress, clean diner, nice atmosphere, can't say enough good things about it, I've found my breakfast spot in Watertown, though I hear there can sometimes be a wait, we went pretty late on Sunday morning and grabbed a table right away.

Breakfasts...

Hey Dave, Talk of the Town does have great breakfast and you must have been lucky to get a table right away. If there is a line and it's a half hour wait, check out "The Spot on Main Street accross from the Half Way Cafe. They too have a great breakfast menu and the prices are comparable. Of course there are other places around town, such as the New York Diner, Vincents on N. Beacon Street, and a few others....

I had a horrible experience at talk of the town. Waitress totally ignored us and was very rude. And the food was just so so. Deluxe town diner is SOOOOOO much more worth the trip.

I see everyone at Trescas

Trescas is our Saturday morning breakfast haunt. You will probably have to wait, and the protocol is to sit down immediately at the most recently vacated filthy table or else the staff will never clear it. I love my husband. He'll ask some newbie, "uh, aren't you going to sit down?"
"Yes," they say. "We are waiting for the table to be cleared." David will look at me with the, "They're coming to take me away, ha-ha" look and stop just shy of doing the corkscrew around the ear gesture. He cannot understand their reluctance to sit at an opulent buffet of someone else's half eaten debris. Those damn fools! *laugh!*
The waitstaff ranges from really spectacular and anticipating your needs to surly and indifferent, but the food is tasty, vintage greasy-spoon diner fare, and the portions are gigantic. You run into all sorts of people there from forever ago, and I think I saw Whitey Bulger there once. And Mayor Flynn. And Captain Pickard, and just possibly one of those cave-men from the Geico commercials. Actually, he's a regular.
If you really want to be a townie, you have to do Tresca's at least once. In the Grey Block on Church Street (CVS parking lot).
