A wonderful place for brunch. Portions are huge for a reasonable price. Standard breakfast items but the star of the plate are actually the fried potatoes. Each cubes were golden crispy and fluffy inside. The servers were fast and friendly. Very busy on the weekends so do expect to wait. There are plenty of parking here.
We've been going to Newcomb Farms for over thirty years but hadn't been back in a while. I love the casual country ambiance and there are many menu options. Fluffy blueberry pancakes were delicious. The blueberry muffin was grilled to perfection. I was tempted to take off a star because they do not have real maple syrup but I didn't because of the friendly, efficient service. Our meal was delivered promptly and the server kept my coffee cup filled.
My favorite local diner. On weekends go before 9 am or after 1 pm or be prepared to wait in a line, which is a review itself.
I first had breakfast there a year ago when visiting family. We had our second trip and it didn't disappoint. Very happy. Will be back. Love the eggs bene.
Great atmosphere, wonderful servers and service. Julie (Tulie) is the best! We live down the road and this is a regular Sunday for my kids and I.
Today was my first time visiting this little gem a stone's throw from Blue Hills - Newcomb family goodness! It definitely won't be the last. Everything was done right and the food came out blazing fast. Which was great because I was so hungry when I arrived! The bacon is DELICIOUS, crispy, perfectly cooked goodness! We were HUGE fans. In love. the pancakes were light and didn't leave you feeling like you were carrying a 3 lb bag of potatoes in your gut when you left. I loved it. Also there was a line out the door but it only took about 10 minutes for us to get a table when we got there, which was so cool. They get you in and out so fast. What a place! Cozy and recently remodeled. The definition of a timeless family restaurant.
First time here. Arrived @ 815am on Saturday with many available tables (seat yourself). Food was delicious and quickly served. Great location. Plenty of parking. 2 sides of the restaurant with 50 seats just on one side upon entering. Staff was extremely nice.
Great diner feel with awesome service and tasty food. I've been coming to this place for years and the quality of the food has remained consistent. They have great plates cooked in a skillet so it comes out nice and hot. They are generous with toppings (e.g., hollandaise, cheese, gravy). Prepare to leave with a full belly.
TL;DR at bottom Imagine, if you will, a seven-year-old surprises his mother with breakfast in bed. He cooks everything himself, and dad only watches to prevent second-degree burns and house fires. Mom, of course, acts impressed. However, the eggs lacked even salt, the French toast gives dejected office worker vibes, and the bacon is the only half-passable thing on the plate because, well, BACON!
This has been my experience with *most* breakfast places. To say nothing of cost and value, even before, eggs were worth their weight in sterling silver. Until recently, there was one exception to this obscenity. That is The Farmer's Daughter in Easton. While more expensive than a greasy spoon, the quality of ingredients and meals made it worthwhile. I am thrilled to say there are now two exceptions! Newcomb Family Farms does its thing very well. They take simple breakfast items, elevate them just slightly, and do not lose points on execution or value. To start with, the service here is speedy. Even though this restaurant is popular and can be crowded, food comes out of the kitchen in almost no time. Evidence of effective and competent management if you ask me! All ingredients are hot and fresh, having spent no time under a lamp. They do not skimp on proteins (no sad, thin bacon strips here), and all ingredients are balanced. I am particularly fond of the potatoes, which are finely cubed and seem deep-fried! The way the dish is presented, everything is cohesive. It works very well together, unlike a bunch of separate items sharing a plate. Finally, I have but a couple quibbles: 1. You are left with cold potatoes when hot potatoes meet a cold, heavy earthenware plate. This isn't an issue with the Skillet Breakfast (because it's served on a skillet), but it is an issue with the Hearty Breakfast. 2. It would be nice if the syrup bottle was wiped, for it was a bit sticky. 3. Perhaps I couldn't find the wall switch, but the corridor to the restrooms had me turning on the flashlight. If my mother, who has the same philosophy about breakfast restaurants as me, declared that she wanted to find a similar restaurant on the North Shore, you know it made a good impression. TL:DR: I had a fantastic experience at Newcomb Family Farms, which is now one of my favorite breakfast spots. The restaurant takes simple breakfast items and elevates them without being too expensive. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and the meals were well-executed and had good value. The speedy service impressed me, even during peak hours, and the food was served hot and fresh. The protein portions were generous, and I especially loved the finely cubed, deep-fried potatoes. The restaurant left a good impression on me despite a few minor issues. I highly recommend it to those who appreciate quality breakfast food.
