The Food – Organic and locally grown produce go into all of the long-loved kitchen's supersized, highly affordable fixings. The standard menu tends to be cheaper, with entrees running under $10. (Nightly specials hover around $15.) Lovers of nouveau homestyle dishes will find plenty to satisfy, from earthy potato and mushroom stews and Szechuan stir-fry to chicken livers with dried figs and straight-from-the-garden-fresh salads. – – The Scene – Think vintage Jamaica Plain: a rainbow coalition of customers piles in nightly, packing the less than 30 seats.

best food for your dolla

by michaelwasher

I have never been disappointed by this place. Food is always amazing, and for the price is ALWAYS fresh, cooked perfectly, and of course tastes better because they support local farmers. I would eat there everyday if I could, the menu is always changing, with very creative dishes and service is great.

  • Pros: never had something that wasn't good
  • Cons: it's not a large place so there is a long line for sat. and sun. brunch, well worth the wait though!

Very fresh food in a hip place

by zarthon

I love Centre Street brunch! I wish I were there right now! As others have said the food is fresh and the portions are large. This includes the Mimosas! They are huge! I also recommend the breakfast banana split, and the Cuban scramble.

They will accommodate vegetarians and vegans here.

As for the line I think they let you go in and get coffee while you wait. The places is also next to an entertaining kitchen store that helps pass time in line.

I have not eaten dinner here yet but plan on trying it since brunch is so good. Based on my brunch experience I plan to listen to the wait person's recommendations about what's good that day. They are very honest and down to earth.

  • Pros: portions, food , mimmosas
  • Cons: line, passing through the kitchen to the restroom

awesome brunch

by kathyp11011

still one of the best brunches in boston, if you can get deal with the long lines! i recommend getting there just before the 3pm closing and there's usually less of a wait. uses mostly locally grown ingredients, really fresh! dinner is a bit over-priced. the brunch is $$, but huge portions,,,
