After hearing from so many people about the fantastic food and service at the Uncommon Ground, I had to check it out for myself. I must say it was well worth the trip! I live in Needham but will surely be returning!

UGs is a great place for breakfast or lunch. I've been going there for years and look forward to eating there whenever I can. The prices are great-3 huge fluffy pancakes for under 6 bucks you can't beat that price. Town Diner you only get a short order for that price. Everythings always fresh, and although it's always busy on weekends, the food comes out fast. Would reccomend to everyone!

I've been taking friends to this restaurant for breakfast for years and every one of them has loved it. The whole grain and the sweet potato pancakes are terrific, as are their scrambled egg combinations. The staff has always been wonderful. The only problem that I have ever had here was the wait on weekends, because everyone wants to go there!

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals so when I find a great breakfast place, I sing for joy! Uncommon Ground is without a doubt, a great breakfast place. Service very good. The owner, Lisa, a wonderful hostess. always makes time to chat with regular customers. I recommend this place to everyone in search of a GREAT BREAKFAST place!!

If you are going to UG'S on your lunch break, THINK TWICE! The three times a friend and I have gone on our lunch break, we were late getting back to work (a five min. walk). I had ordered scrambled eggs, wheat toast and home fries. I watched my eggs along with my friends sandwich sit under a light while out waiter was no where to be found. The gentleman working the register walked by the food a few times then stopped to talk to the cook. Dont bother with refills because the coffee in the container was old and cold. Maybe if you have an hour or so it might be a little better. I do have to say the prices are great.

There isn't a breakfast place in boston(major hotels included) that can match the food and service at UG. Don't tell them but the prices are way too cheap, too!

The buttermilk pancakes are worth getting up early for (though they serve them til closing). I've also visited for lunch and sandwiches and salads are tasty and filling. Everything served her is fresh and the waitstaff makes you feel like you're in their home.

I am a regular at U.G. and i recommend getting the multigrain pancakes and the wheat belgium waffle with strawberries and whipped cream on top.... Owners are VERY friendly and the waitstaff are always hard at work...

BAD, BAD SERVICE! Really bad service, rude owner named Lisa didn't want to hear our complaint, and defended the rude male waiter who got our order wrong and violated at least 3 health codes in our presence. The chef should leave cuz he's too good for this hole in the wall dump!! .... the only thing this place has going for it is the food, but that is not enough when your service is as bad as it is here! NEEDS NEW OWNERS/WAITSTAFF AND HEALTH CODE TRAINING!

Great variety and terrific food. Now serving breakfast all day which makes it perfect for mid-week brunch. Can get crowded.
