Quick and quality consistent service by all staff, excellent portions and taste of food. Really enjoyed the new England clam chowder soup, corned beef hash, and French toast. Fairly lively environment but not too loud for conversation. Had to park on a nearby side street, not a lot of parking during busy times.

The only thing I would recommend is a little more flavor. The French toast needs cinnamon and vanilla in the egg mixture to give it a more French toast feel. It looked and tasted like the bread was dipped in eggs and cooked. The eggs needed a bit more salt but other than that everything else was great.

Effie’s is a charming spot. Our waitress Kirsten was seriously excellent. She handled our big party with ease. She was friendly and efficient. We had a great experience overall. Good food, good service, good place. You should go check it out for yourself.

I cooked in restaurants like Effie’s for about 5 years, pursued a culinary/hospitality career path, consider myself a foodie, and have managed people in fast paced environments for more than 27 years.
I have also been to Effie’s at least a dozen times, usually for breakfast. The food, service, and atmosphere are top notch. A few key words that come to mind are Dependable, predictable (I know what to expect), and delightful. It is always a pleasure and I look forward to dining there with family or friends. You can’t go wrong and you won’t be disappointed.
Great job Effie’s!

Clean and friendly atmosphere, fresh and delicious food, and good serving sizes. My wife had the Greek omelet with chicken and loved it and I had the house made corn beef has omelet that was delicious. Kids meals and salads were fresh too. Will definitely be back.

Enjoyed the Food!
We stopped by this restaurant for a bite to eat on Sunday afternoon dropping off a family member at college. We arrived around 12:30/45 & we’re hungry. It wasn’t too busy. I enjoyed the mimosas & the meal; especially the steak fries. All of us enjoyed our meal. The waitress was very friendly & attentive. I would definitely return to this restaurant.

The trendy Effie’s Place is very good, however, not worthy of the accolades I have heard. Yes, good location. Yes, friendly and helpful staff. Yes, very good homemade corned beef hash (Although, not $7.75 very good). The hash browns were terrible, just mushy potatoes, no seasoning, no onions, just a mushy potatoe, why bother? One of 2 of the eggs i ordered over easy was over medium. I had high expectations for this restaurant and they were not met. Effie’s Place is still very good and worth a try.

I placed an order on DoorDash 7/9/25 at 10:47am for a big breakfast with scrambled eggs. I did not get any home fries with my big breakfast, like seriously?? Also was given no utensils to eat with. Please do better. I attached a photo of what I got and also the Doordash listing where you clearly see it has home fries listed. Also they give you the smallest strips of bacon possible. The pancakes and sausage are great though.

A little cute diner experience with a family-oriented atmosphere and family-oriented prices! Such a gem! I will be back!

Been coming here off and on with relatives who really enjoy it for decades. And we just never seem to think the food is that good. Everything ends up being a little bit bland in terms of taste. And we’ve tried everything from sandwiches to hot entrees, to salads, and it just never seems to be that good. The last time I got the chicken parm sandwich it was kind of soggy, and it really didn’t taste like much. I didn’t feel like the ingredients in the Falafel are very fresh.
