The Joint

The Joint on Centre Street serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a menu that moves easily from eggs and pancakes to a meal with drinks. Breakfast choices include build-your-own omelets, eggs Benedict and huevos rancheros with black beans, plantains and tortillas. A fried-egg sandwich gives you a smaller option if a full breakfast plate feels like too much.

The drinks list includes beer, wine and cocktails, with margaritas, mojitos and espresso martinis among the choices. That makes this Jamaica Plain restaurant useful at different points in the day: a breakfast meet-up, lunch or a casual evening meal. There’s a children’s menu too, plus online ordering when you want to take the food home instead of sitting down.
