Leader

We have had several meals at Leader and loved every one. Food is excellent and we have not been disappointed. Service is excellent as well. Quality food is worth the cost and cheap food is just that, low quality, cheap food. And food from scratch is not quick. This food is not pre-prepared with chemicals and warmed up like you get in cheap restaurants. And the wait time is relaxing IMO.

Stopped up here tonight for the first time and will absolutely be back. Awesome food and our server was great. Can.not.wait to eat my leftover Mac and cheese tomorrow

Food 4/5 - The food is always delicious at Leaders! The Classic Eggs Benedict and coffee flight is my favorite. The food came out within a timely manner and everything was tasty. Service / Ambiance 4/5 - The overall service was good. The restaurant is clean and well lite. A friendly small town restaurant feel.

I'm in town visiting for a wedding and was told this was the place to come for brunch. They were right! The coffee was delicious. My eggs Benedict was incredible - loved the crunch on the edges of the meat. My Swedish pancakes were okay - a little overdone. But not worth docking a star for. My waitress was kind. And the place had a modern, yet small town feel to it. Who knows!? I may come back in the morning.

WHAT IS GOING ON ?Since the change in the name/management I have only been here 1 time. And probably not again...It was a really hot summer day, like the 5th in a row! Walked in, and was hit with cold air. Great, right? Nope. After 2 minutes my hot sweaty parts were freezing sweaty parts. I looked around at the full floor, and saw kids with their hoodies up and pulled tight. Seniors with jackets on. People snuggling up to each other. The thermostat must have been set on 62, I swear.Sooo uncomfortable! And no manager in sight to talk to. Just a teenage hostess. No one with authority. Not even a chef that looked in charge. Of course, the cooks probably loved the temperature !I will say our server was definitely a professional (experienced). Great job by her! Certainly an upgrade from the other servers I've experienced there. All the gals on duty that day seemed on point.However, when it is soooo cold, that your pancakes arrive so cold that the butter won't even melt on them, that is unacceptable. I will say that they serve a very tasty kind of bacon, and I appreciate that even cold it is fantastic. My pancakes were less than stellar. Unfortunately. Too bad. But the price was not overpriced.How cold was it?S O COLD I NIPPED O U T!

Wow, what a fun place. All kinds of Scandinavian food. The cocoa and sausage were excellent. The Swedish pancakes were a bit chewy, but the lingonberries made up for it. Great service! I hope to come back.

A delightful find in the exurbs! The original Leader's is a family department store on the Main Street of Cambridge. The department store is more than 100 years old and still open, though much smaller and with a curated selection of Minnesota goods, home items, and outdoorsy style clothing. A portion of the store was carved off as a restaurant- Leader. It's a spacious and airy space that would fit well in a larger urban environment, yet feels at home in Cambridge. I was thrilled that they had a number of vegetarian items! My companion and I ordered the "Not scallops" which were oyster mushrooms sliced and seasoned to look like scallops served over pineapple rice. it was a tad salty, but still delicious. I also ordered a bourbon cranberry drink. Good, but a bit sweet for me. They have a number of interesting cocktails on the menu. The servers were attentive and helpful. I really enjoyed the meal and this restaurant! Highly recommend!

My wife and I were very pleased with our lunch at The Leader in Cambridge. The food was awesome. I had a Frisco Melt with fries it was very good. My wife had a plain hamburger with fries and she was very impressed.We were greeted at the door by a very friendly hostess who showed us to our table. She also said goodbye as we left. Our waitress was very attentive and refilled my water twice.Overall a pleasant meal.PS: The restaurant is adjoined by a clothing store, something not all that common in a small town. It was fun to look around.

I felt like I was on a High Street in London again when I entered the restaurant. I love businesses that restore our old buildings. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. No one is left waiting for any length of time for anything here. Customer service is beyond amazing. And so is the food. Completely perfect experience.

Food is fresh often straight off a local farm. They are well staffed and adapt quickly to the changing conditions. It's the kind of place where the owners come out and greet people and work the front of house if it's busy. It's good for a cup of coffee to a tenderloin special.
