“My wife and I were in Wakefield to purchase car and when we were finished we realized we had not eaten all day. We found this gem of a diner. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding. I started with the beef stew. it was excellent. It was not to salty, you could tell it was homemade the flavor brought me back to childhood. My wife started with the chicken and rice soup which she said was also fantastic, once again not to salty. I had the hot turkey sandwich with gravy. The gravy was outstanding. My wife had the teriyaki chicken stir-fry which was delicious. We needed the meal by brining home 6 raisin oatmeal cookies. I would highly recommend North Ave. Diner if you are in the area.“

When eggplant not available, cheese steak meets my tough standards“

“One of a kind Service! Great home cooking“

“Old style dinner type place with tables and counter stools. Established in 1927. Photos of famouse people who have visited over the years. Waitress was managing entire front of the house and was very pleasant. Food was good
Home made corned beef hash, eggs cooked to perfection. Prices I bit high. We prefer this kind of place, with lots vintage charm, over the chains.“

“10/30/25 Thursday. Came here today for an early lunch. Haven’t been here since a decade ago it’s been remodeled it’s so bright and clean and modernized! When I came here it was dark and dime lit. The place was clean welcoming and the staff was friendly! I got an order of the fish and chips and coleslaw, instead of fries I got onion rings. The fish was cooked perfectly it wasn’t oily and the fish was not made with a heavy batter it was a balanced amount. The onion rings also cooked excellent fresh tasting and both dishes tasted like they used fresh grease not day old. My server was attentive, friendly busy, but always kept an eye out if I needed anything! Great customer service! For dessert got the key lime pie. Great tasting dessert cake was moist rich frosting but not to sweet. Very please with everything the service and the food will definitely come back to try more in the menu! Love the new look of the place very warm vibe inside.“

“I love diners. This one is classic. Fun, friendly, big tasty portions and a very diverse menu-way more than a typical diner. Like going back in time when people were truly friendly and welcoming, regardless of where you came from or look like.“

“Great food, great prices, great service and bottomless great coffee at this diner-style cafe. You won’t find many of these around any more and this one is a treasure!“

“Great service and food We had the steak and eggs. Was great quality“

“GET YA SUM YUM! You will definitely love the food. If you're in a hurry call ahead. The crew are really nice and easy to speak with. The restaurant isn't the most modern but that's what makes it pop. The old school feel. The prices arw good as well. I go there a lot.“

“Good food very nice service“

“I very rarely write any review. I drive 25 minutes regularly to eat here. Food is always cooked perfect and made with love. Quality ingredients. Homemade delicious soups.“

“Nice diner in Dedham. The service was great and the place was clean. We ordered the egg breakfast with French toast, steak omelet with avocado and avocado toast on sourdough. We also ordered hot chocolate and strawberry & banana crepes that were delicious. The portions are good sized and the prices are reasonable. Definitely lots of townies and that's a great sign. The food was tasty but the home fries need some seasoning.“

“Best steak and eggs breakfast around. Teddy’s never disappoints.“

“excelente ubicación,presentación de platillos y atención“

“Delicious, delicious moussaka! And a friendly waitress even as you could tell she was busy.“

“Had the flat iron Benny, amazing!“

“Excellent Breakfast With great service“

“Food is decently priced compared to the area. The Carne Asada plate is not their forte but they do have great burgers and omelets. No truck parking. You can park on the side of the road but it's not that convenient. They do have delivery however and they're fast and friendly. If you're delivering to the Boston Market or the New England Market then hit this place up for a nice freshly cooked meal.“

“Found a hidden gem at Rox Diner in Newton Highlands. The Belgian waffle is homemade batter, my son said it was awesome. Crispy breakfast potatoes and crispy bacon. The cheeseburger was to die for, sirloin with a smoked cheese and bacon on a handmade brioche roll grilled to perfection. Prices are affordable, portions huge and the staff was awesome. Highly recommend.“

“It's a diner on the outskirts of the hood; a local hole in the wall dive that dish out great food! What ever you order will taste exactly how its supposed to!! I had the steak & cheese on a sub roll w/ steak fries 😋 Bestie had grits w/ spicy beef sausage and she loved that. The grits looked really good 👍🏾 we also had mimosas that were great!“

“Just had Swanton Street Diner's food (via GrubHub). for the first time. Delicious, huge quantities, all top Notch ingredients.and prices that remind me of the good old days before the pandemic. My Wife LOVED the chicken stir fry and she is picky about food I was impressed by my contractor's breakfast. Best home fries I've had in twenty years. looking forward to working our way through your menu one item at a time. Five***** stars“

“Leo’s is a great place that has a friendly staff and great breakfast and lunch food with speedy service. Highly recommended.“

“We came here MULTIPLE times and it’s become our go-to for brunch! A great local mom and pop run diner in Watertown. We had omelets, lattes, breakfast tacos, chilaquiles, etc. and always enjoyed ourselves.
Dining area inside is small but cozy and quaint, perfect for anyone willing to smoosh themselves in during busy hours. Otherwise there’s plenty of outside seating and on a nice day, it’s the best.
We saw the same hard working people every time we went. It’s clear they’re a local spot and well worth investing in.
My favorite part is you see all ages at this diner- newborn babies, high school dates, families, to senior groups chatting over coffee.“

“Absolutely fantastic place for breakfast . Been going there for over 40 years - always exceeds expectations . Franny is a spectacular server . Worth the trip and wait if all booths ad the bar are full.“

“Great Service and great food“

“Missed my train, had two hours to wait. This fantastic diner provided me with one of the best meals I have had in the 6 months I have been regularly going out. Crispy yet soft waffles with powdered sugar and sweet syrup.

Crispy battered fried chicken that has the best taste in Boston.“

“Sunrise Grill in Central Square keeps rescuing my Saturday mornings. The place is tiny, sure, but the bustle feels like part of the charm. One step inside and the smell of sizzling bacon hits you first, then the chatter of regulars arguing over the Sox. Coffee lands on the table within a minute—dark, hot, and strong enough to wake the dead. I always order the lemon-ricotta pancakes they’re impossibly fluffy and come with a swipe of real maple syrup. Home fries arrive crisp on the outside, soft inside, flecked with rosemary. Service? Fast and unfussy. They top off your mug without being asked, and the cook shouts a thank-you as you leave. Prices sit right in that sweet zone where you feel full but not fleeced. If you crave a straightforward New England breakfast, this spot nails it.“

“Food was great, workers were friendly.“

“Solid, classic diner spot for breakfast. My wife and I visited for the first time this morning. The decor has an old-fashioned diner vibe—simple, cozy, and welcoming. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but we found a spot after a loop around the block.

The food was good overall. Nothing blew us away, but the classic breakfast staples were prepared well. I was impressed by the fruit cup—larger and fresher than what you usually see at similar places. I ordered the cinnamon French toast, which wasn’t overly sweet but was filling and tasty. I also got a side of hash browns and bacon. The bacon was perfectly crispy (the only way bacon should be, in my opinion), and the hash browns were surprisingly crisp despite not being fried.

My wife tried the chicken and waffles, which were fine—basically a standard waffle with a couple of chicken tenders on top. The chicken was a bit tough, and the waffle was pretty basic. She mentioned that it might have been better with an egg on top, like an eggs Benedict, to tie it all together.

Overall, this seems like a solid spot for a classic diner breakfast. Eggs, pancakes, French toast, bacon, and omelets are probably safe bets. We’ll definitely be back. It was also a nice touch when the kitchen made a point to thank us on our way out.“

“our favorite spot in Roslindale“

“If you want a hometown diner feel, this is the place to go! Went for breakfast here this morning and it was great! The service, food and staff were awesome. I just had surgery on my hand and I mentioned to my cousin how an omelette would be easier to eat then picking up a sandwich. The waitress quickly chimed in and told me the cook will cut it into fours for me! I would recommend this place to anyone! 😊“

“I cannot say enough about this place! Great food, excellent service and friendly people. We ate here everyday of our trip and loved it! Thank you Chef Steven for your kindness and generosity! We will be back! Love your Ohio girls!“

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“Jimmy’s is our go to breakfast spot and a true family favorite! We have been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, comes out fast, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. There is a great variety of omelettes, and my kids can’t get enough of the pancakes. On our last visit, we noticed they added a dessert case filled with homemade muffins and other delicious treats, such a great addition. Highly recommend!“
