CASH ONLY not happy at all about that. Some staff is stuck on themselves. Food was good but over priced. Coffee was very good. Would go to again.

jsut call me T

my daughter loves to come into where I work and have lunch or breakfest. I used to work at Rays Boathouse. When I left Rays for the Dish my daughter said she was so glad, because the food at the dish is so much better then at Rays.
Yes, weekends are very busy but, what a great spot to meet and smile!! Oh, and try the ruben or the grilled turkey, the tuna melt is one of my favorites!! Its a real fun place to work and eat!

The Dish is a treat for us. Early weekend mornings there is hardly any wait at all. But you will wait and wait if you decide to have breakfast at 11 am. The coffee is not meant to replace espresso. It's standard cafe coffee and I've had plenty worse. When there is a line we put our names down and go for a walk. The staff are busy, so behave and don't expect anyone to mother you. The portions are hearty and so is the food. I've never been disappointed at the Dish.

I'd only ever go here on a weekday when there is no line. The food is good, but not worth a half hour of my morning standing on Leary Ave.

The Dish is one of our favorite places to have breakfast. Word is they may be under new ownership by August, so stay tuned for any improvements to things like coffee :).

I heard a lot of hype about Dish and we love a good breakfast place, so we had to try it. We were really disappointed. The coffee is weak and the food is okay. Definitely not worth the very long wait. Having coffee available while you wait is a plus (if only the coffee was better!). Service was also disappointing--the waitstaff is too busy and not as friendly as some other local places.

This is one of the best breakfast places around! Unfortunately everyone knows it...there is always a line on the weekend's but it's well worth the wait. Also it doesn't help that this place is small, if you want to sit together keep it to parties under 4...anything over that can be accommodated but not unless you want to wait a LONG while. Also cash and checks only. Egg's Benedict is top notch and their thick crisp bacon and "Slacker Special" is also a can't miss!
