Located across the Shell gas station, this breakfast place is easy to miss! With ample amount of street parking, decent service, and ‘okay’ prices; I have to stick with a 3-star rating. The food is nothing spectacular or memorable as my order of the Early Bird breakfast included two French toasts along with two eggs of choice and slices of ham. The French toast was agreeably soggy and bland(even with syrup). My favorite part would have to be the ham though it was thoroughly black on both sides. My boyfriend ordered the Cowboy’s Special and it looked like a heart attack(in a good way) but was still subpar to other breakfast places close by such as Jimmy’s Diner or the Mad Hatter’s café. We arrived on a Saturday morning around 11am and there was an abundance of seating but it slowly started to fill around noon. Hot coffee is overpriced at $ 1.90/person for a tiny breakfast spot as so.

Great neighborhood spot for breakfast. Cheap fare, good quality food. Wouldn’t recommend the hash(I am very picky I will say that)…but everything else I have had from there is delicious. The staff and owners are really nice, quick, and attentive. Chocolate milk is delicious.

The Grill & Eye is back on it’s game and serving one of the best breakfasts on the South Shore once again. A go to under its previous ownership(Paul. rest his soul) this place went through some tough times. It’s great to see that they have been able to make it work. 3⁄3 over the last couple of weeks and looking forward to coming back again soon. French Toast, pancakes, all are very good.

I go to school right down the street. It’s a pleasure going every once in a while. The food is wonderful. Best homefries in the area, the servers and cooks are phenomenal and friendly! Always my first choice. And very reasonable prices.

I have lived in Weymouth for about 35 years and have been going to this restaurant on and off, usually on the weekends. The food was much better under the previous ownership(Paul). Nowadays, it depends what you order. The french toast here is the best. I don’t think I’ve had better french toast. I order it extra thick. The pancakes are not that good. I would definitely order all the meats well done here, including the eggs, regardless of how they are cooked. The omelets are not good at all here. I don’t know what they do to them, but they just don’t taste right. I would stick to the simple breakfast items, like scrambled eggs, hash browns, home fries, English Muffins, toast, and the breakfast meats(Bacon, Sausage, and Ham). The customer service, again, was better under the previous ownership. Nowadays, you have to beg to get a refill on the coffee, which is a bottomless cup. The coffee is also hit or miss; some days it tastes fresh and is great; other days not so good. The best coffee and service seems to be on the weekends.

Was trying to find a new breakfast place this past Saturday and happened upon he Grill & I(actually eye). Easily found on street parking and walked in to the small one room restaraunt. There were many 2 and four seater tables and a bar that seemed to be on the short side. Most of the tables were actually too close together so I had a hard time finding a table that I felt I could at(I’ve gained some weight but not this much!). Very sweet high school aged girl was our waitress. Service was great and atmosphere was nice. Looked like a lot of regulars came in and out. Food however was not very good. My pancakes were almost spongey and the eggs has little taste. I wouldn’t come back since the food was not as good as many other places in the area.

Eggs had no flavor and were plain. Pancakes tasted like they had been made the day before and just reheated. This place looked cute from the outside but the food wasn’t up to par. I probably wouldn’t go back.

I have lived in Weymouth over ten years and have been eating at The Grill & I at least once a week. Great daily specials. I love the meat loaf and the fish and chips can be beat. A friendly local atmosphere with excellent service and great food. What more do you need?
