Karla Vallance: Santa Fe salad is the best! And the Factory is still open; don't be fooled by so mangy closed stores in the mall...

Steve: the buffalo blast app is awesome
Morris Porter: This is a great icon of american life. Hard to go wrong - great breakfast and wonderful ice cream & frozen yogurt. No pretense here, and the service is enthusiastic and genuine...a real family feel
Meredith Kench: Don't come on a Monday - they aren't open, but they are open the other 6 days of the week.
David Swenton: Cash-only; there is an ATM on site

American Restaurant · 51 tips and reviews
Melissa Romig: Hands down, our favorite place in West Newton. Very reasonable prices, very good food. Love, love, love the Truffle and Chive Mac and Cheese. And the warm handmade potato chips and dip. Delish! Read more.
Rich Thorne: Enjoy the photographs (from yours truly) hanging on the wall. Figure out where each was taken, and I'll buy you a beer :)
Boston.com: The Local Burger is made from prime beef topped with lettuce, thinly sliced pickle, onion, and tomato, and served on a brioche bun. Added tangy cheddar and smoky bacon make each mouthful sing. Read more.
Ian Westcott: Get the Colossal Hungry Person with johnny cakes(!), their homemade corned beef hash, eggs over easy and rye toast.
BostonTweet: Quite possibly the only place in the Boston area where you can have sweet potato pancakes with an Allagash White!
Robyn Lewis: I don't usually like pancakes, but after one taste i wanted to devour the sweet potato pancake. Delicious!
