The Neighborhood Restaurant

I came here solely for the cream of wheat because I was intrigued as to why people were so gung ho about it in the reviews. I was able to order a large cup to-go for $4. The ordering process was a bit weird because there is no front desk/register when you walk in, so I had to awkwardly wait at the entrance next to people who were eating. This place is also cash-only so keep that in mind if you come. I will preface this by saying that I have never had cream of wheat before, so I did not know what it should taste like and how it would compare elsewhere. I was able to eat about a third of the generous portion that they gave me. It tasted like a cinnamon-y congee: chunky, warm, and sweet. I was a bit iffy about the taste at first, but it grew on me the more I ate it. The sweetness did get overwhelming, though, which is why I couldn't finish it in one sitting, but I can see why this is comforting for so many people. Overall, I liked it. I can't speak to anything else on their menu, but I'll probably be back one day.

Oh my goodness. The best breakfast I’ve ever had in a very, very long time. Delicious food. I ordered the Portuguese breakfast out of the winter menu. The service is great, the ladies working there are very sweat. This place is 6 stars in my opinion. The coffee is high quality, the best and the creamy of wheat, I am so hooked on this thing now it will be difficult to live without it.

What’s not to love? Great portions and always leave feeling like a happy bowling ball. This place always does us right. Love the fish lunch specials and the unique seasonal breakfast specials. Unlimited coffee and a friendly atmosphere with fun Portuguese specials along with classic diner faves.

Wow... I have no words, the best of the best.

This place is okay. The wait is normally 40 minutes to an hour. Don't recommend if you're planning to get lunch on a weekend.

Unique and delicious breakfast offerings! Never in my life did I think I would be praising something as simple as Cream of Wheat, but they serve a bowl of it with your breakfast order, and it was AMAZING. The French toast on Portuguese sweet bread was also wonderful. This would be 5 stars, except that they are cash only which is inconvenient and off-putting to me.
