Food: Underwhelming culinary affair

The Saugus Cafe's supposed best dishes fall flat on delivery, leaving taste buds abandoned in a desert of disappointment. The celebrated Eggs Benedict, Corned Beef Hash Combo, and Saugus Special Omelette are all victims of the culinary sin of lacking creativity and taste. Let's not even get started on the freshness, which is described as old, stale, and smells bad. It's not all gloom though, with the portions and variety scoring back some points.

  • Great Variety

    Menu offers a vast selection appealing to various palates and preferences.

  • Bad Taste

    Numerous mentions of food being bland, greasy, and disappointing.

Top 3 dishes at The Saugus Cafe

    Corned Beef Hash Combo

    Eggs and hash browns complement corned beef hash wonderfully and taste solid.

    Chef Salad

    Great combination with crisp lettuce; not greasy and tastes awesome.

Vibe: Nostalgic nuisance

The ambiance is more trip down memory lane than enjoyable dining experience. The outdated decor, stuffy air, and old furniture conjure up images of thrift shops instead of boutique eateries. Additionally, the noise from the drunk patrons shouting obscenities severely detracts from the diner's appeal, whilst ensuring it'll never be a date night venue.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Ambiance negatively impacted by outdated decor, stuffy air, and old furniture.

Perks: Service salvages respect

Navigating the Saugus Cafe's precarious parking and enduring the tumultuous noise doesn't seem to be rewarded with fantastic service. The service quality and speed are hit or miss, teetering between neutral and impressive. However, accommodating large groups bodes in its favor, a small silver lining to an otherwise cloudy experience.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed experiences with speed and quality of service but generally good.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking tricky, poorly marked, and difficult exiting due to visibility.
