What People Are Saying About Moe's Midtown Restaurant

The Scene – The antidote to hifalutin see-and-be-seen eateries, Mo's old-fashioned counter attracts artists, business types, college students and wanderers to its swivel seats. The dinerlike atmosphere gets a funky feel from the robotlike sculptures (made locally from recycled trash) hanging above the cozy booths. – – The Food – Coming here and not ordering pancakes is like skipping steak at Morton's. Made with fresh buttermilk, wheat flour and wheat germ, Mo's flavorful flapjacks can be fixed up with your choice of cranberries, strawberries, pineapple,…

What's all the hype about?
by ctreynard
I'm not sure what the hype is about...sure, it's cheap, but so what? I guess it depends if you're happy with "Friendly's" caliber or not. The home fries were nothing to write home about, and the omelette (jambalya) was ok, but nothing special. Coffee is extremely weak. One reviewer mentioned that portions are HUGE, can't fit on the plates...is it possible that it's due to small plates? Yep.
On the plus side, the atmosphere was cute.
If you make it to Northampton, MA, Sylvester's still reigns supreme...make sure to know that it'll be a wait, especially on weekends.
- Pros: Pros: Cheap as hell, interesting atmosphere
- Cons: Small plates (not very user-friendly!), why go out if it's not yummy?!

Mo that was Good
by Rajack
Good overall rating. The food was wonderful. Substantial portions (pancakes, French Toast, and Home fries) for the hungry man. Prices were reasonable. A couple of suggestions; due to the number of tables in the dining area get there early for your pick of the best table. For those people who are often cold bring a sweater. If youre not very hungry order smaller sizes. I ordered a large stack pancakes (3) and the pancakes filled the plate completely the fries and eggs had to be placed on another plate and was filled completely. You will definitely enjoy the food and prices of this delightful neighborhood restaurant.
- Pros: Parking, Food, Portions
- Cons: Ambiance

Ragin' Cajun!!! nuff said!
by tmadar
The Rajun' Cajun omlette is the best breakfast food I have ever had! They also make a Rajin' Cajun Burger, whick is HUGE! The homefries are spicy, perfectly seasoned and plentiful. And you have to get a side of the Corned Beef (or Turkey if they have it) Hash. They add onions, celery and peppers to basic hash to really dress it up. The pancakes and french toast are amazing as well. I just can't say enough good things about this place. GO NOW!!!
- Pros: Food, Value
- Cons: Coffee is so-so, limited parking, wait for tables
