Rox Diner

If you are in West Roxbury, I do recommend the Rox Diner for the food..just ignore all else. You will simply have to balance a few of your wishes about a great breakfast experience. The breakfast choice are broad, and the food is delivered quickly. There are a few "needs". Staff is friendly but falls was short of "attentive". In a very small restaurant where a breakfast staff member has maybe four tables, I don't want to chase you down to get beverage refills, or to remind you I already asked you for refills; nor do I want to remind you that one meal on a three-top still never got delivered 7 minutes after the other meals. The staff also needs to take more of a proactive approach to cleaning during the meal. Basically they are prompt at asking for remove dishes, even if you have clearly not finished the meals, but are seemingly unaware of ANYTHING that falls to the floor. I had to straddle two seats with my feet because the previous diner dropped half of their meal with loose egg yolks on the floor and the staff ignored it when turning the table over. (while waiting for our table I was witness to this so it was clear to me what was dropped on the floor is something that can wait) More debris around the restaurant like straws and napkins and food pieces that the staff observably walks over and around but no one chooses to pick up anything, while even in a busy restaurant with a waitlist, staff were engaging in long conversations with some guests while duties were ignored. I would go back for the food, knowing the service failures because sometimes I'm just looking for the food. BTW, if you are into pancakes...the Cinn Pecan were amazing.
