Uncommon Grounds - Watertown

Good place. eating was good. I wish they had a little bit more change and their own mark. had not seen any protein and avocado option. 8 o'clock opened me from the watch, but that's on me because I don't check. I would recommend this restaurant.

Uncommon grounds is like a mix between a cafe and diner. Great coffee with many added flavor options and great food! You’ll be lucky to get a table during the weekends because it’s so popular!

Uncommon Grounds is the best breakfast/lunch restaurant I’ve been to in Boston. I’ve been coming in for years and Ive always had such great experiences with the staff. The prices are extremely fair for such large portions. Some of my favorites for breakfast include the homemade corned beef hash, the Caprese breakfast sandwich, the biscuit egg sandwich, the breakfast veggie burrito, and the eggs Benedict. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth for breakfast, but I’ve tried the cinnamon bun french toast and the lemon ricotta pancakes and they are truly mouth watering. I’ve never had better pancakes or french toast in my life. For lunch, I recently tried the chicken burrito and it was phenomenal. My boyfriend got the steak quesadilla and said that was delicious as well. The staff is friendly, helpful, and the food comes out quick. I love the new model where you order at the counter because before Covid, there was always a large wait to sit down and eat. Now, I have the option to order for pick up online, get delivery, or order at the counter and sit wherever I want. The food comes out so fast and I’ve never been disappointed. If you’re considering trying this place you won’t regret it ! Here are a couple photos I’ve collected. Enjoy!

I've eaten here in the past, usually breakfast food like French toast or an omelet, and the food has been good. Today I ordered the chicken/mozz/basil panini and it was bad for the following reasons:1. Presentation was BAD, it was poorly wrapped in tin foil and was immediately soggy upon opening (I'm a 2 second walk from the restaurant so it wasn't sitting in a bag for long)2. Chicken was rubbery and there wasn't enough of it for the bread, I left about half the bread uneaten because it was in excess3. After eating it I suffered an hour long stomach ache with a diarrhea finaléI probably won't be going back.

What an extraordinary find for breakfast! Lots of character to this roadside oasis on the busiest street in Watertown. Warm welcome from the owner Peter and his staff. Clean as a whistle this place is! Coffee is best around with the most delicious French toast and home fries that make you want more than the old belly can handle!
