Mad Hatter Restaurant

Great food and awesome place! They have great service, with quick and friendly staff. The food itself is very good. The pancakes were sweet, filling, and covered with powdered sugar. The potato pancakes were savory and the bacon was crispy. The sauce that came with it was a bit too strong, but that’s my personal taste. The breakfast pizza was awesome, well cooked eggs and a variety of meats with complimentary flavors. Definitely check out if you’re nearby!

This place used to excellent. But lately their food is just horrible!! The pancakes tasted like a old grill that wasn't cleaned. They was dried. The veggies pizza was overcooked scrambled eggs on top of a pita bread. Thsts not a egg pizza. The eggs had the same taste as everything else old dirty grill. Won't be everything going bsck.

I was excited about going here for breakfast since they changed their location a couple of years ago. Every time we drove by at their old location there was always a line waiting outside to get in. I don’t understand all the hype.! The food was just average , just blah! My eggs were overcooked, corn beef hash burnt and my toast not toasted, $14.00( way over priced) it states on the menu that the corned beef is homemade I don’t believe that for a second it had to come from a can way too much salt ! My husbands crispy French toast was decent, but came with no sides, $13.00 for 2 slices of bread. My daughter got the steak and eggs she enjoyed her meal, the potatoes seasoned well, steak cooked medium , the eggs were overcooked. I forgot to look at the price. The bill came out to $61.00 for breakfast in this was with no alcohol, juice, and coffee! So there’s plenty of parking out front and in the back, outdoor seating and handicap accessible for parking and dining. I used to hear a great things about this place, but I just didn’t see what the great things were.! so disappointed. I wish I went to their old location instead! We will not be back.! BTW: our server was very nice!

Food was very good, nice selections, and the waitress was great. We went there as a large group [15], and all the orders were ready at the same time with zero mistakes!

Update Review 02/09/25 came in this morning with my mother 9am Sunday for brunch. The staff here are friendly and welcoming! The Brunch is great you get to pick from pancakes, French toast, home fries, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, a chef makes fresh omelet with topping, and they have steak cut right off the slab. The home fries are delicious and the steak is so so good it’s seasoned well tender and mouth watering delicious! Also have fresh fruit. Our server was name MJ. S she was GREAT always checking to see if we needed anything refilling coffee without asking and just making sure food was ok and she was a GREAT representative of Mad Hatter restaurant! We will comeback because of the great food and the great service from the staff and MJ! The bathroom was clean and well kept. Will recommend to family and friends to come here for the vibes and good food! Was in Weymouth in area and stopped in to have breakfast 9:15am today. Dee D. Was my server very friendly and welcoming with a smile the place was nice looking inside. I got the Hungry Man breakfast plate, pancakes, toast, home fries, Han, sausage, bacon and 2 eggs. I got banana pancakes, light fluffy nit to heavy the bacon was crispy as I ordered, home fries tasted delicious, eggs over easy cooked perfectly, ham grilled tasty and sausage was cooked perfectly. I got raisin toast. Very hardy breakfast and good portion of food. This is a great spot free parking and plenty of seating inside at bar or Resturant area. Will be back again to try other selections on menu.

Ordered the meat lovers breakfast pizza, came looking nothing like the pictures online, it’s literally scrambled eggs on toasted pita bread. I paid 15 dollars for my eggs to fall off toast…

Food was decent. We split the Cuban and potato skins. The cuban was tasty and hit the spot. The potato skins were good but could have used more filling. They did seem to be home made which is wonderful. And the fries were a different style than most places and we look forward to having them again.

Decided to stop in while driving by and everything was amazing! Food came out very quick and you could tell it was fresh, homemade and seasoned perfectly. Veggie omelette was stuffed full and delicious. Gluten free bread options and the portions are generous. Hash is home made and on the thicker side with onions mixed in but had good flavor. Coffee was also great. Our server was very friendly. She checked on us frequently and was very accomodating to our diet/health restrictions. Prices are to be expected for the area and the quality food you’re eating. They also have a full bar that we can’t wait try! 10/10 experience.

Just came here for their breakfast/brunch buffet and was highly impressed at their food selection. So many great options for various diets, and it all tasted very well My friends and I ordered mimosas, a Bloody Mary and their S'mores dessert cocktail and all 3 were absolutely perfect.

Eh. It's okay here. The food is decent. The service is okay - no problems just, a little off sometimes. The ambiance is nice - it's clean and BIG. They have a big parking lot too. I really wish I liked it more ... But, I find it pretty average.

Wait time was insane! Over an hour. Just to be greeted to a dirty table, subpar buffet food and poor service. I'll never darken Mad Hatter's door again.

Delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cinnamon French toast is "to die for".Friendly and efficient wait staff daily, as well as during a shower that I held at the restaurant. The food was excellent, from the fish, to the chicken and beef. They accommodated individual requirements from my guests. Comfortable seating, which included tables and booths was roomy and clean. Three dining areas were brightly lit and they have an additional function room

It's depressing as an ex-pat Paddy. The original locale was THE BEST. The move to the bigger space allows more room for punters - but, the food quality went downhill - bland, rubbery and really not worth the effort given $. Man, the smaller locale was an event - you may have had to queue for a table but goddamn that Irish Breakfast was the greatest in MA, and their brown bread - so sad to see what's happened. It's always the same - small thriving eatery brings it and then decide to go bigger which kills everything that was great about it.

Came during the breakfast/brunch buffet. I was hoping to order from the regular menu as I was a little disappointed with my last visit here- I wanted to give it another try. Watery eggs, soggy bacon, flavorless French toast. I could go on... I did try the S'mores cocktail and it was so strong, I kind of lightened up about my underwhelming breakfast. Won't be back tho

Went for brunch. Service very slow. Food mediocre - with the exception of pancakes - they were yum. Disappointing.

Felt suspiciously racist when I tried to organize an event. The person in charge of functions, I believe her name was Eileen, was extremely excited about the prospect of hosting us and to work with me until she learned the cultural background of my team. All was good with my racially ambiguous voice and name just before this. When I told her who it was for, all of a sudden, it wasn't a right fit. I asked her exactly what wasn't a fit about it since it was fine prior to me mentioning who, and she couldn't expound any further. She just repeated it wasn't a good fit. I'm pretty sure i know why it wasn't a good fit. This is wild to me because as a Weymouth resident, I used to enjoy bringing my children here for their birthday brunches. Not anymore. There's only one reason The Mad Hatter would not be a "good fit" for a day brunch. Weymouth and its racist reputation is certainly being upheld by TMH. Edit 5/6: So I got the name wrong, big deal. Rather than addressing their racism, this is the response. I don't know if Michelle realizes it, but Hispanic is not a race and there have been plenty of racist Hispanics throughout history. I placed a phone call to the organization to let them know my review is very real and I left my number in case they wanted to discuss it rather than leave sassy Yelp responses in an attempt at dismissing my very real experience.

Attended a function today in private room. Dee was amazing from the minute we walked in the door. The food was great. Thank you!

I came to Mad Hatter, twice within 2 weeks since the food was so good. Its pretty busy on a Saturday, waited about 30 mins to be seated and the kitchen was very busy so our food took about 20-25 minutes to come out however it was worth the wait. We also came on a Monday where there was absolutely no wait. We ordered two "the hungry man" $16 which came with the option of french toast or pancakes, and "chicken and waffle" $16. This restaurant has its own parking lot which is always a plus for us. However if you plan on going on a weekend (before 1pm) you will have to wait a little while for a parking space to open.

I'm not sure where to start. We had a great waitress and she was pleasant. We ordered there were 3 of us. We ordered 2 Rubens, and one hungry man. Special, the 2 Rubens, head chopped up which was different and extremely fatty. My hungry man special was cold scrambled eggs with burnt, flat bacon, and the home fries were horrible. The waitress couldn't have been nicer, but the food was not fit for man or let alone anyone else. Time to examine your cooks

Terrible breakfast. Coffee tasted old and undrinkable. My croissant egg sandwich came on white bread with undercooked potatoes. Kitchen staff left before I could complain. My husband's bacon was overcooked, his toast barely toasted. Waitress disappeared until the end of the meal. Poor service, poor meal. Will not be back

My wife made reservations for my birthday this past Sunday. When we arrived, we were greeted with friendly smiles and a very welcoming atmosphere. We were told that the brunch buffet was the offering and was directed to the room where the food was... Upon entering the room, my wife and I were both shocked and embarrassed as they were having what seemed like a full-on presentation. There were speakers, and the entire group (a good 40 people ) stared at us as if we were bothering them by coming in. We asked the hostess at the front desk if this was how it was supposed to go? She looked at me after speaking to someone else and gave us the thumbs up...... Thumbs down....way down. How can you have a full meeting going on the same time food is being offered to the public?? I was almost as if they were like, "Take it or leave it," we left it... I ordered a shot and a coffee beforehand so I could be ready after I grabbed my plate. My wife was disgusted, and we told our server ( Melissa, I believe ) that we were leaving. Instead of being ignorant, I downed the shot and asked for the check. We waited at the front desk to which Melissa dropped the receipt with a quick "here you go" and walked away... no "sorry about the confusion" from anyone... Again, I didn't want to be ignorant, paid for my shot, the coffee that never came, and even left a tip. Guys, you are popular, come on! It was my birthday and my wife was upset. We went elsewhere and had an epic time, but it just seemed like there wasn't a care given whatsoever. I've been a Chef 30years and to get that type of service was just disheartening. I was really looking forward to trying you guys out as I've heard good things... This was NOT a good thing

First time going here and had mixed reviews from friends who live in the area. Overall impression is Meh...Saturday night and place was pretty empty but it's summer and I'm sure others were experiencing the same. Nothing stood out on the menu, in the world where people eat with their eyes the menu was pretty boring. Lots of just outdated nothing really interesting items. It's summertime, why the hell would you have corned beef and cabbage or beef stew or chicken pot pie??! Menu looks like it has changed in quite a while. Try livening up the menu with seasonal items, vegetables and fresh ingredients. Even the burger read as very boring and not appealing at all! Anyhoo, on to the actual food. How do you make a Caesar salad have no flavor whatsoever?? A big bowl of lettuce, with flavorless dressing, couldn't add enough salt and pepper to it to bring it back to life. Entree was rigatoni bolognese...so the pasta wasn't what I expected but wasn't that bad. The rigatoni was the short thin type not the nice big wide tubes one thinks when ordering that pasta but wasn't bad. The sauce was flavorful but super thick with too much cheese. Wouldn't been nicer with actual rigatoni and little saucier and maybe even served with toasted garlic bread or something but they didn't choose to do that. Think they're suffering from the lack of business as there really was nothing to help them stand out above the other non impressive restaurants in the area. Think if they updated the menu, cleaned up the dining room it may have a better standing. Also the one server that screamed all over the dining room, yea that's gotta stop. Place was empty and he was acting like there was a huge crowd screaming at tables from the server station and yelling to others in the dining room. When the place is empty have some consideration for the few that are there...

We wanted to try a place we never heard of or seen before. This place checks off all the boxes. Very good service and we were seated right away. The waitress was very nice and helpful. I was torn between the Ruben or Cubano she said the Ruben is made from corn beef cooked in house. I just loved the Ruben. It was so delicious and huge, overflowing with corn beef, sauerkraut and cheese, on my favorite bread marble rye! I had an iced coffee with raw sugar, no where has raw sugar. My granddaughter had the breakfast burger. Yummy Cheese burger with an egg with crispy bacon. The place is very nice and huge. The service from the kitchen was superb and the Chef is very skilled. The potato French Fries were little scoops and cooked just perfect. Dyani got a lemonade and had a few refills free! We will definitely be back to the Mad Hatter.

Everything was amazing here, very clean environment, the kids meal was more than enough for my daughter to eat. My husband got the homemade corn beef hash and said it's the best he's ever had. Our waitress was very polite and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I would change is the food got cold quicker than we are use to. But doesn't change how amazing everything was here!

Food is absolutely excellent!! Breakfast and dinner. But I highly recommend the nachos. They were divine!!

I went for Sunday Brunch as I thought this would be an authentic Irish breakfast. Quite disappointed as the buffet selections were quite ordinary and limited. Would not recommend nor would I return.

I like this place for breakfast! It's a diner but not a hole in the wall. It's inviting, bright, spacious and clean. We had only a 5 min wait and we came at a busy time. Service was good and the food was delicious! Wasn't a fan of the pancakes - way too thick and ginormous. French toast was good and the home fries were actual potatoes, crunchy, and seasoned. Def would go back.

Great restaurant and staff. Good service and very reasonable. Excellent food and beverages

Don't have to wait for St. Patty Day Serves corned beef and cabbage every day. And it's delicious

Food was good, I got the Grilled Salmon and it had lots of sauce and rice. Service was amazing, everyone was really nice and our waitress had a good sense of humor. I went at early dinner like at 4:00 and the place was pretty much empty which to me was good. The restaurant itself was very clean then again there was basically no one else there. That's all I have to say and I will definitely be coming back but probably for Brunch not dinner because there's more options that I like for brunch. :)

We had our 60th high school reunion at Mad Hatter, pleasant, really hard working staff, buffet style meal was solid but not distinguished, space worked for 130+...

The whole place is just weird, the last time I went paid $45 per person for the breakfast buffet, and I'm not even kidding when I say that you could find a better breakfast buffet at a fucking motel six. Overpriced garbage.

The food is delicious although what we ordered and what was written on the menu did not come out as listed. When we asked for what was missing and what was stated on the menu it seemed as though we were being a burden. I am assuming the waitress was overworked and having a bad day so I won't let it affect the score. Homemade steak and cheese egg rolls with special sauce stole the show!!!

Average American fare with decent service. The old location wasn't very friendly maybe because I'm an Asian man and everyone else was white in the restaurant. I won't miss them.

Ughhh (insert ugly cry here)! The evolution of the Mad Hatter is a tragic tale of quantity going up and quality going down. They used to have one of the best breakfasts around...until they moved locations and expanded services to include lunch, dinner and a full bar. I wish they renamed\rebranded it, as it is not the same Mad Hatter it used to be. My husband and I first came to the new location for breakfast on a Sunday hoping to get the same food from the previous location, only to discover they do a brunch buffet on Sundays now. Excuse me, what?! Typically buffets are not known for the quality of the food. I was shocked to be honest that they would offer this based on the care and thought they seemed to put into every dish at the previous location. On our most recent visit, we came on a Saturday to avoid the buffet. I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs over easy and wheat toast. The hash was bland, flavorless and COLD! Luckily my eggs were still hot so I spread the yolk over the hash to warm it up. The toast - some pieces were barely toasted while others were not toasted at all. My husband ordered the hungry man breakfast, which is a little bit of everything. I had a bite of the pancakes which tasted like something was missing from the batter. They were also the smallest portion size of pancakes I've seen anywhere. I will rave about the Irish sausage though - so juicy and flavorful!! Much better than your average breakfast sausage. But that's about it. I can't recommend this place anymore unfortunately as it has gone downhill in recent years.

My sister and I had a bereavement lunch here and I cannot say enough good things about the Mad Hatter. Vito the manager was fabulous as were our servers. He explained the menu and the different options. The whole process was very smooth which is what you want at a time like this. The food was amazing. We had over 40 guests and everyone loved their food. I would highly recommend the Mad Hatter for any function!!

Solid 4.5. My buddies and I meet up there Saturday morning before we do our hobby. Clean facility. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Prices are reasonable in this economy. No complaints! Solid 4.5. 10FEB2023

Had one of the weeks best meals. Appetizers half price Haddock was perfectly done with sauteed spinach and carrots on creamy mashed potatoes. My compliments to the chef

I just had a worst Shepard pie in my life. Zero efforts to prepare the food... It used to be so much better when I visited this restaurant 6 month ago, but it looks like today was my final visit. Never again...

Mother's day Brunch 2pm understand we are on the late spectrum of special day brunch. However, we arrived at 2pm and the pancakes and french toast were cold and very dry. Shrimp was not offered as people before as in years before had drained the well dry to get the most for their 40.00 brunch. The carving station was shut down so no beef. The pork was a tough as a line backer but it was 2pm. The desserts were 8 left over brownies which had been picked up by others and put down again. The deviled eggs need a new recipe as they were inedible. Not to be a mean person so The waiter Adam was on his game and the service reflected that. I did beseech the hostess that the offerings are not what we were offered according to the menu. She couldnt help us to save her soul. See your wait staff said she. Adam brought our concerns to the manager. He offered a round of drinks which was sporting of him and two bowls of ice cream for the little ones. We were appeased but not without the chatter at the table being never again will we waste our money here for anything. Helpful hints for owner. You book people at 2pm then filter your food to reflect your promised menu at 2pm. We were not homeless looking for a handout and will take all the food everyone else passed up. We expected a standard of what we had bought into. It is not my resposibility to anticipate gluttonous people before us or that you dont have enough sterno to keep it hot. The bill came with 2 additional adult people and 2 extra children which we are glad we perused the bill closely. Helpful note 2pm people are just as essential as all the other sittings that came before. It is your reputation. We would like to thank you for your consideration to make it right but and we accept it is a busy day and their will always be dissapointments but you are not new at this day and good management would have taken these problems into account. Thank you fot making it right but if you staggered your food to reflect your booked customers it would have made a difference.

Food and space is good. Sometimes service can be slow but worth the wait. Corned beef hash and their sandwiches are great!

Wonderful atmosphere to match the great food. We had the fish and chips, pot roast, chicken, and a burger, each being delicious. Portions were good. Our server Andy was very attentive. I will be back only wish I lived closer!!

Overpriced Irish breakfast , food was undercooked , Irish sausage not authentic. Poor service. The old place was fantastic unfortunately , it has not carried over . It's too big and impersonal.

Went out this morning for Brunch for St Paddy's Day. Had a reservation for 11am. They gave us the breakfast menu. It was a special one for St Patrick's Day but said "breakfast served until 3pm" on the bottom. Waitress gives us the run down and tells us one of the items isn't available. Fine. We order drinks. She doesn't come back to take our order until 11:45. Fine. Sees the menu we have and says "oh we stopped serving breakfast at 11am." What? Why did we get the menu when we arrived at 11 if it was already over? Plus she saw that we had that menu when she took our drink order. Also it says 3pm on the menu. She says "it's just how it is today." She gives us the lunch menu. I am vegetarian and there is not a single vegetarian item (which is why we planned on brunch!). Says she'll go get the manager. Comes back 5 mins later and said "oh he'll make an omelette just for you but that's it." Manager doesn't even have the decency to come talk to us. I said no we are going to leave. Still charged us for drinks. I should have protested but did not. I don't blame the waitress but the manager should have come over. Absolutely ridiculous service.

Best breakfast ever!! Great service and really nice people!! Over all an awesome restaurant.

Breakfast hash was delicious. Service was fast and smooth. Server was helpful and positive. Only thing bloody marry was lack of alcohol. All overall definitely go back place. Thank you.

Just did buffet brunch. Staff was lovely, food was not. Savory quiches in sweet shells, potatoes without any seasoning, fresh items to the line already dry from being kept on heat elsewhere, perhaps(?). The booth near me with father on his phone, and 2 young children, each with their own tablet at 3 volumes added to the ambiance. Again, staff was great, the food, was basic and not executed well.

Had a pretty decent experience here. Ideally I would give this a 3.5 but the food gives it a little push up to 4. The place itself is really big with plenty of seating but we were quickly informed that they are currently understaffed so there was a wait. I was a little skeptical about this and it definitely showed in the service. Our server had some complications remembering our orders and what to bring to the table (Ex. My order came with an English muffin and after reminding her multiple times, I gave up and just went without it). Despite that, I still didn't get too upset because she was an extremely friendly and easy going server - might be one of the best interactions I've had at a restaurant. Plus, I get that they were understaffed that day. As for food, I got the hungry man with blueberry pancakes. Usually I get full pretty quickly and would have to take my food to-go but somehow, I ate a crazy majority of this breakfast! My eggs were cooked to order, the bacon wasn't overcooked and burnt, and the sausages were delicious. The downside of this meal were the home fries. Seasoning was all there but they were more on the mushy side while I prefer home fries a little crispier on the outside. The overall meal was also a bit cold when it got to the table but all of this was forgotten when I tried the blueberry pancakes - wow!! I don't know what it was about it but my table couldn't stop eating them. Crispy on the edges while still fluffy in the middle. It was stuffed with plenty of blueberries for extra taste yet not overly sweet to the point where you don't want anymore. Easily my favorite part of the meal. My table also had other dishes that we shared. Strawberry french toast was ok. The strawberries tasted fresh and the French toast was good but nothing out of the ordinary. We also tried their crispy potato pancakes with their special house sauce and those were good. The sauce was like a spicy ranch that added a nice kick. Excited to come back and try other items - hopefully with more staffing next time!

Friendly service Food came out cold ( home fries especially) French toast on the extra brown side Reasonably priced dishes Underwhelming

At some point in 2018, Mad Hatter moved from its wee and oft packed space on Main Street to an expansive dining room, complete with a bar and dinner hours, along Washington Street. And thus, Mad Hatter Cafe became Mad Hatter Restaurant and Lounge. Kudos to them for establishing a much deserved following, and carrying what made the spot such a local icon to its new facade, with a notable hat tip to the Breakfast for Dinner section on the standing supper menu. As such, I HAD TO go with the hash and eggs ($12), while wife scanned past traditional Irish entrees for a plate of chicken fingers ($10) and a side of fries (spiral cut spuds). The kiddo went mac and cheese on their tot menu ($7, inc. side and a juice). Tender corned beef needed a little seasoning, but otherwise a bountiful serving good for leftovers. The way overpoached eggs were DOA; bummer. Solid soda bread with Irish butter to round out a decent plate, but not reminiscent of the fine tuned output from their Main Street days. I had to laugh at the plating of the chicken fingers. Artfully lined up on the bias along a rectangular dish, the app features five plain, modestly sized and almost too uniformly shaped cuts of poultry, meaning each was $2. Stand down, soldier, and at least consider coming with a side of fries at that price point. Kiddo's cheesy mac was a hearty portion - he dug it, as any kid eating mac and cheese would. The owner was very involved in the floor happenings, and stopped by to say hello and thanks. Nice touch, but not enough to offset some of the kitchen's growing pains post-expansion.

Open in Airy, Great Food good prices, friendly service, very fast service I like the variety of choices in the Irish food so tasty

Came last Saturday for breakfast and it was nice. It's a big restaurant with function rooms. Seats were very well spaced out and everyone had their masks on. Service was great. The salmon Benedict was the only thing I'm going to mention that I thought would have been different; I thought the salmon is a smoked salmon but this one was a salmon piece, like it was made for lunch or dinner. I felt that it was too heavy for my 930AM meal! But overall great place and nice portions!

Great service and food!! I loved the short ribs, and the drinks are fun. We'll definitely be back!

The food is great! The service at mad hatter is kind of slow. The portion was perfect for the price. Overall, I do recommend this place if you live around the weymouth area. Its very clean and modern. 8/10 would recommend.

Wanted to try this place for an early Sunday evening dinner around 6:00pm but was told there was a 30-45 min wait... the reason being "our waitresses are backed up"; not because there were no tables (more than half the dining room was empty) as that would be the typical and understandable reason. I've been both a host and a server for several years before and never have I made guests wait, especially for way over 15 min, for such an outrageous reason.

Mondays at Mad Hatter! We just happened to pop in and had a fantastic time with Dave the bartender trying to guess the music playing throughout the place. It was a quick made up game of Name the song/ artist and drink if you didn't get it; Dave could not partake but he didn't need to, he knew the songs:) We got an app of delicious buffalo chicken and for meals; The lobster roll was huge; probably a lb of lobster meat, so tasty! and my SO got the rueben which he gets everywhere, said was good! We will definitely be back,we had such a great time! My SNL review:) Hank and Beverly Gelfand Seriously, we loved it!
