We've been here for both breakfast and lunch and each were very good. We took a chance came here the last time my wife's mother was visiting and she enjoyed her lunch. The staff was very attentive, the food was terrific and my mother-in-law was pleased. Very good all around.

Hungry ? Want an excellent omelet ? Try the cafe on the common. The wait staff are friendly and the food quality is always good. A good value.

You won't be sorry, or hungry, once you've dined here. Food is great, service always good and portions will fill you up. Also, try their Friday night dinners..they are only open Friday for dinner and their dinner specials beat most other restaurants in quality.

We're regulars and apparently not alone as the place is always busy. Consistently good breakfasts - I love their omelets. Not crazy about the french toast as it's usually overcooked and tough. Otherwise, food is good at a fair price. Waitresses are pleasant, even when it's busy. Parking can be a challenge as it's only available on the street and... More

I've only been here for breakfast -- 5 or 10 times a year. Excellent food, creative items (such as the three-sausage no-carb entree), friendly service. Combination of booths and tables. Usually busy until around 9, then you can take your time reading the paper while finishing your ample breakfast.

Been here many times and the breakfasts are certainly not to die for. The place serves typical breakfast food, nothing wild and funky. The restaurant has a warm feel to it, nice and cozy like a place where old friends gather to simply talk. The service isn't very good to be honest. I've had a variety of waitresses and I... More

About 4 months ago I got the fried scallops and they were soggy and mashed pototoes were dry, and almost cold. I needed to give this place another try as they have been very good through out the years. Same experience again about 3 weeks ago with fried scallops. I hope they maket some changes to the cooking staff and... More

We stopped at Cafe on the Common as we were in Mansfield Ctr running errands and had not eaten breakfast. The place was very busy on the saturday morning we were there. We waited about 15 minutes and were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant. The service was so-so, food was average and prices not cheap... More
