Top Brunches: Warren Tavern, Max and Dylan's

Warrent Tavern and Max and Dylan's tie on votes, but comments tip the scales.

If you want to take your mom for a Mother’s Day brunch in Charlestown, your best bet is either The Warren Tavern or Max and Dylan’s according to this week’s poll. While both restaurants captured an identical number of votes, the comments tipped the scales in Warren Tavern’s favor. A reader named James Brittain said he had an “excellent” experience at The Warren Tavern on Father’s Day, and “can’t wait to visit again.” Max and Dylan’s also picked up a couple of comments, but they were less flattering. Come back next week when we ask you about your favorite local staycation destinations.
