Incredible breakfast food! I really want to know how they get their fries this crunchy… The staff was fine, but a bit strange at times. A waiter brought us the check without us asking for it; felt like we were being nudged out. But we still wanted to order dessert, which he really didn’t seem happy about, and felt the need to show it. Everything worked out in the end. Just an annoying interaction, hence the -1 star.

The Paramount has been there for a longgg time. Located in a historical preserved side of Boston. Pretty neighborhood. This place tends to be very busy most of the time. Expect a bit of waiting. It offers a relatively typical brunch menu. What stood out was their Brioche French toast, recommend it. Overall it was decent.

This was my first time coming to eat here. I’ve heard good things about it and it was recommended to come here for brunch. To start off, the customer service wasn’t where I would expect from a business who’s been in open since 1937. My group walked in, and no one greeted us or asked how many for a table. Instead we waited in front of the door for like 3 mins until I walked over to an employee and asked do I need to put my name down somewhere, with he reply as just wait outside the door I’ll be right with you. Fast forward 15 mins waiting near the entrance still waiting, I go over and ask when I see a table with a party of 4 leaving if my group after that table gets cleared, if we could have it since we were next, and again, she replies I’ll be right with you. So as they clear the table I wanted to sit at with my party and another table (a little smaller one than the one I requested) that could still hold 4 but is tight, they sit us at the smaller one. We sat down and the server goes to the party of 2 and sits them at the bigger table I requested. They also give them menus without even asking while we use the QR scan, and serve them water while my group still waits. Our server finally comes and asks are y’all ready to order, with not even bringing us the traditional cups of water for the table. I ask for a round of water for the table before we place our order. He goes to collect tables checks and take orders from others before coming back to us with our water. We place our orders, and I got a egg bacon pepper jack cheese breakfast sandwich with home fries. It was delicious for a diner style sandwich. My table also orders their own sandwiches and we ordered French toast for the table which to my surprise was delicious. The space inside their is tight, with a lot of moving pieces and very little attention to their guests/customers coming in. The food was good, don’t get me wrong, and that’s why as of today I will give it a 3 star, but to wait that long and get the service we got, I was not a fan. I could have gone to a local cafe or diner and got a breakfast sandwich and it would have tasted the same way.

Street parking if you can find it (metered, fyi). The nearest lot is the underground garage beneath the Boston Common. Its a 5min walk, I think.

Is there take out?
