Delux Cafe, Boston

Dimly lit with small booths and a laid-back wait staff, this quaint South End bar and eatery can get crowded quickly. It may not look like much from the outside, but it is the inside that counts. All types come here looking for an inexpensive drink or supper. Quality pizzas and daily specials are satisfying and made promptly. The split pea soup, vegetable pie and herb-roasted pork loin are quite good as well. This is the perfect place to escape the pomp and prices of downtown.
