Good coffee. Nice omelets and blueberry pancakes. Sat by open doors, nice breeze on a hot day. Great place.

This place changed ownership recently so I thought I would give it another try as the previous owners turned out a fair-at-best product, but had solid service. Today I had the worst breakfast food and experience at a diner. Nobody came to my table to take my order for 15 min. Order was wrong and had to send it back. The new order came out only to be undercooked, cold unmelted cheese in the omelet, which then made the entire dish lukewarm. The home fries were cooked well but had a strange taste via some sort of unknown spice. The English muffin was like rubber because it is not even close to being reasonably toasted. No real iced coffee exists albeit on the menu. It is steaming hot coffee that they expect you to pour over ice in a clear solo cup. Imagine the chemicals leaching from that interaction. I picked at the food and maybe ate 1/3 of it and pushed it away in disgust. There are plenty of other places. Moving on. This place is not a NO, it is a NEVER.

So if you know diners you know they could be hit or miss. Sound Bites HITTT. Let's talk about why.It was a very young crowd that was in and out. The staff gave this interesting southern hospitality in Somerville, did not know that existed.They had a self serve coffee section that I thought was cute as hell. So I felt like a cute little barista. Always they had a classic diner menu and they had gluten free and vegan options. The server that we had was really sweet and helped us get a better bang for our buck. The food was not too expensive either. I had two cups of good diner coffee and enjoyed my time. It was really cold in the restaurant due to the weather outside only downside.

The diner is located in a busy neighborhood and is usually busy on the weekends. Luckily there was no wait this time I went! The place has a very relaxed vibe.Once seated you can grab water from the water stations or grab coffee or juice from the drinks station. The food came out really quick after ordering. I was very satisfied with the meat lover omelet as it was packed with meat. You get to pick three breakfast meats and what cheese you want. The portion was definitely a good size, a lot of food, but you can finish it.

Many people dream of a world of peace; some people dream of power. However, I am a simple man, and I dream of home fries. Succulent, slightly fried pieces of potato with just the right amount of seasoning. I do NOT dream of gray slabs of grilled mash, labeled as "home fries".As for the main dishes, why I was taken aback. I ordered Jimmy's Moroccan Eggs, while my partner ordered a breakfast burrito. Both were a dishonor to Jimmy and Mexican cuisine everywhere. Worse still, and I do not say this lightly... there was even an eggshell in my food. It ruined my appetite, if not my whole day.Heard that the sweet food was pretty good tho, and my standards are dirt low frfr. Will probably be back

Big fan of SB. Always keeps me coming back...even when you walk by the place next door with a similar menu. It's tempting but familiarity wins out. Self serve coffee and traditional eggs Benny...with a side of SB "mashed" browns. Only remark is that the potato portion seemed flatter and smaller than in the past. But still crispy and tasty. My only regret is that I didn't get a grilled muffin this time.

Food here was extremely disappointing. My waffle was so soaked in juice from the grey strawberries they put on top that it disintegrated into mush on the plate. Stuffed french toast was underwhelming and kinda stale-feeling. Coffee is serve yourself, which i liked and was standard diner quality. Waitstaff were perfectly pleasant and the ambiance was good. It wasn't too crowded compared to neighboring places, which is how we ended up here, but I'd say brave the wait elsewhere for good food :(Price felt high given the low quality of the meal, but pretty comparable to places around. For the two meals, a side of home fries, and coffees we paid around $50 after tip.

Love sound bites. It's always very quick and very yummy. Their menu is pretty extensive and they have a little bit of everything for everyone. Sometimes there's a wait but never usually that long. Parking can be a little tricky at prime hours but it's super close to the newish ball square green line stop!

Everything you could want in a local breakfast diner. The service was friendly and incredibly fast. Laid back atmosphere where everyone was having a great time. We arrived at 10 am and there was only a 10 minute wait. Parking is very limited on the street though. The food was great. Classic lox bagel and French toast. Hash browns that are actually mashed potatoes. Actually pretty good. Food came out in 5 minutes. The iced coffee was meh but self serve coffee bar meant an easy fix with milk and syrups. Prices are reasonable and the portions are big.
