"Overall no complaints. Went for a couples brunch and mutually agreed to rate five based on our combined food and service experience. Just moved to Braintree from Quincy and decided to try a new breakfast spot. We picked up the menu and noticed Prices are decent and there is a good selection without being too overwhelming. Parking is on the street and can be a bit sparse, however we found a spot just two store fronts down. Parking is two hours so more than enough for brunch. Aesthetically it’s no fuss no muss.We went around 12:30pm on a Wednesday (they close at 2pm this day). We walked in and were seated immediately. It did not get too crowded while we were there. Staff was friendly and attentive without being pushy. You can sit at a table or at the countertop on somewhat lower stools . They have a coffee machine, juice machine and hot chocolate machine behind the counter. Behind the counter is also there menu and specials in fun chalk colors. Printed menus are handed out when you walk in. There is a single bathroom in the back towards the kitchen.We ordered: a corn ‘Johnny’ and a coffee cake pancake, a ham/sausage/bacon/cheese omelette, wheat toast, eggs Benedict and home fries.I loved the eggs Benedict, plenty of sauce without smothering the plate, English muffin was thick and cooked just the right amount of stiffness to not get super soggy from the sauce and egg while eating. The Canadian bacon (ham) was thick cut and salty. Super happy with it. Excited to try the other Benedict’s they have.Home fries were cooked well, crunchy without being burned, and the wheat toast was nice and thick cut. The omelet was also great (I would have ordered it without cheese because it felt a little overwhelming, but the meats were thickly chunked and plentiful). Would order againThe corn pancake was pretty yummy, it tasted like a blissful mesh of pancake and corn bread, topped with some whipped butter and you were good to go. Would order again.Note on pancakes- you can order 1-3, and they are the size of a large plate. For most people 1 is enough if you have some other things with your meal.Unfortunately I wasn’t In Love with the coffee cake pancake. I expected it to be sweeter but it was just sort of meh. That being said, there was nothing wrong with the way it was cooked. When I added the cinnamon sugar (that comes on top) with some syrup it was a decent enough pancake. Just a bit of a letdown compared to the other foods we got. Would not get it again but brought it home as a leftover.We ordered ice coffee, which is literally black coffee with ice in a tall glass, cream comes in the small single serving containers and sugar is in a dispenser on the table. Don’t order this expecting frills. Would order againVegetarian options: They also had gluten free options up on the board.Kid-friendliness: Just a regular diner, families were here when we were."

"This is my first time at this point and only the second time at dinner in Chili. I made it and ordered it online. The online ordering system was easy to navigate and I like the opportunity to pay on arrival as I have seen others who need a credit or gift card. I recently had foot surgery, so it was nice to have the border line delivery so I didn't get my running shoe wet. The young person who broke out my food was pleasant, though it was raining. I had the chance not to check the bag in the parking lot, but was not disappointed. The team seemed to expect several key points for taking packaging. I have the 3-For-Me agreement with a lemonade, dip trio and Cajun Chicken Pasta. I like the lemonade was in a 20-oz cup, beautiful score points. I choose two quesos and salsa for the dip trio, that was not disappointing, but not a highlight of the meal. I'll try another option next time. The pasta was a hit! I asked extra alfredo suace that put her in a dish instead of directly on the pasta that I was really happy about because I used most of it to immerse the delicious garlic bread. I'll come back for this garlic bread! I also have Southwestern egg rolls that were really good. After all, I have the moles of chocolate cake. I was glad to see that it was not heated yet and that the ice and the caramel were packed separately. I'm so full of dinner that I haven't eaten yet, but it felt nice and damp and had a huge food of melting chocolate in the middle. Morning for lunch! Thank you. Braintree crew for preparing this wonderful dinner for me tonight. You won a regular customer today. Check out soon and try some drinks!"

"I take my team here every year for our holiday dinner. I made the reservation 2 months in advance. We exchange gifts and so I asked for a table out of the way, and asked for a specific one, but they told me that the particular table I wanted was already reserved. When I arrived, I was brought to a table set up for a large group and I told her I didn’t think this was ours. She went back to the reservation book, came back and brought me to the table that I had originally requested, and I was thrilled. I started putting the presents at each seat. I was then approached by a manager who said “I don’t want you to get too comfortable, this is someone else’s reservation”. She then followed up with “It’s hard to get good help these days”. I found it distasteful for her to insult her hostess who made a simple error. I gather up the presents and was brought to a third table, smack dab in the middle of the restaurant. I didn’t say anything and just decided to make the best of it. I watched for two hours as the table I had asked for, and was told was reserved for another reservation, sat empty. When I sit at my new table, the server comes over, apologizes for the table mix-up and offers a drink. I give my order and it is made incorrectly. She brings another. The server was not attentive to our table at all and we spent a lot of time waiting to order, waiting for our food, waiting for the check. When the food runners came to deliver our sides, they brought sides meant for another table. When they brought our main dishes, they brought the wrong steak. My steak was cooked incorrectly. But, I didn’t want to make a fuss given that the night was supposed to be a celebration so I said nothing. I go to Davio’s regularly bc the service has always been impeccable and the food delicious. This night was hugely disappointing."
