on Citysearch Jan 03, 2009I was loving brunch here until the staff came over after an hour to ask us to leave because people were waiting for a table. I was with friends I hadn't seen in a while we were really enjoying catching up. We were all... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 10, 2008I have never been treated so rudely by anyone never mind the owner of the place. After waiting for our food for over an hour the owner was so rude to us we decided not to leave a tip. He chased us out in the street swearing at... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 03, 2008Yes there is a line. Yes Yasser is abrupt. And yes, you won't find too many better breakfast joints around. The omlettes are fluffy, filled with flavorful fresh ingredients and not sitting in a pool of butter/grease.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 30, 2008I've been going to Sound Bites with a group of friends for the last few years. We have always been welcomed and treated as warmly as a new face walking through the door. The owner is very polite and really makes sure... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2008First let's start off with the long wait, getting fake smiles from the staff, and then the rushed service (if you even want to call it service). Food is bland and nothing really wows your taste buds especially for the... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 29, 2008The first thing i ever heard upon moving to Somerville was to try this "fantastic" brunch place. But let me tell you, there is not one thing good about this place. The staff is horrible, and i have worked in the... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 03, 2008Food was OK nothing great, wait was long, there was no room to move inside, we were seated by the window which was freezing. Owner was very rude as we waited for our food. Our neighbors got their food, ate it and left and we... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 07, 2007Best breakfast place....hands down. The line is there for a reason...it is great food. Best part is that you can go in and grab a cup of coffee and bring it outside while waiting in line.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 06, 2007I used to live right down Broadway, so I've been here many, many times. They've recently renovated and moved next door to where they used to be. It makes for a much nicer dining experience, though the service is about... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 15, 2007There is no other place I would wait nearly an hour for outside in the dead of winter. There's a reason why people line up and wait against the elements to eat here. Ole omelette with garlic mashers - I love you.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 29, 2007This is the absolute best place to eat breakfast or lunch. Yasser is a great proprietor and he's worth the price of admission. The waffle is to die for and the 2+2+2 Breakfast is terrific. Don't be fooled by negative... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 28, 2006Simply the best, freshest breakfast near Davis Square. Omlettes, waffles, and some of the best coffee around. Those who complain of rude service and long waits simply do not understand the Soundbites Mystique of... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 25, 2006When I first moved to Somerville I couldn't stop hearing the buzz for this place. As a huge brunch fan, I checked it out the first chance I had. I was sorely disappointed. THinking it was a fluke, I've been back twice... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 04, 2006As others have said, Sound Bites will never disappoint in terms of their fabulous breakfast offerings. However, depending on what type of atmsophere you're looking for - Sound Bites may disappoint. If you go on a... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 18, 2006This place is great for breakfast, brunch, or early lunch. Their home fries, instead being typical diner cut potatoes, are mashed and mixed with sour cream--tastes more delicious than it sounds! Your meal also... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 18, 2006I confess: I have never been to Soundbites on the weekend. I've heard too many stories about people getting rushed out, berated for bringing a newspaper or children, and having no time to enjoy their meal. I am here to... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 16, 2006As others have said Soundbites is not the place to go if you want to take your time. The restaurant is very small and the tables are packed in close together. You will have to trip over other tables to get to your seat. The... (more)

on Judys Book Feb 12, 2006In addition to having a very mediocre meal we were horrified by the fact that the manager threw out a table of customers for taking too long to order. He then proceeded to scold the entire dining room for being lazy... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 01, 2005SoundBites has great food, but get your expectations in order if you're going alone. The service may be a bit more rude than usual, and in my experience you shouldn't be surprised if you get slightly overcharged on a... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 06, 2005Driving down broadway any weekend morning (rain, shine or snow) you will see a line of people snaking towards Boston street. They are waiting for the snarlyest best breakfest in Somerville. A warning sign greets... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 01, 2005Don't be disuaded by the line outside the door; Sound Bites' breakfast is delicious, original and the bottomless coffee while you wait makes it worth it. The staff hustles patrons in and out quickly without being... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 20, 2005Ok, we all know that the lines are ridiculous on the weekends. And we alll know that they rush you out of there as fast as possible. But you can't deny the fact that this is the absolute best breakfast food you can get. My... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 24, 2004Don't bother. The rudest service I have EVER experienced. Only go here if you have ample time (you wait in line for up to 30 minutes on weekends) and are happy to pay someone to be rude to you. Food is only above average.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 23, 2002Been there twice - each time grill/crusted mashed potato's don't make it for home fries and their bacon was so thin, the three pieces actually made one normal. Soundbites sould be removed from top 10.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 14, 2002Soundbites is the best!! Speedy, but if you want to sit and talk after the meal-don't bet on it. The owner gives you the check just as you're eating your last bite. (more)
