“I had a wonderful breakfast experience at Rox Diner. The place was cozy and inviting, with a friendly staff and a great menu. I ordered the South Beach omelette, which was made with egg whites, spinach, tomato, and Swiss cheese. It came with fresh fruit and organic yogurt and granola instead of home fries and toast. It was light, fluffy, and delicious. My friend had the Flatiron Benny, which was a huge portion of steak, eggs, and hollandaise sauce. He said it was tender, juicy, and satisfying. The coffee was hot and strong, and the service was fast and attentive. We both agreed that Rox Diner is one of the best breakfast spots in the area, and we can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Rox Diner is a must-try for anyone who loves comfort food made with love.“
“The food is great and the atmosphere is amazing. Whatever you're paying Lynne, IT'S NOT ENOUGH! She's always bustling, running back and forth, keeping busy, and yet still finds the time to give quality service to each person she speaks to. She was great!“
“While in town for a doctor's appointment, we decided to grab lunch, and our experience here was fantastic! The sense of community is evident, with staff recognizing regulars by name. The food surpassed expectations--generous portions and reasonably priced. The clam chowder was particularly outstanding. The attentive servers consistently refilled drinks and coffee, and they were especially kind to our toddler. We'd return without hesitation!“
“Great local style diner. Although it looks closed it is very much open. Nothing is spectacular but everything is pretty good, and the service is great. Cash only is a bit of a pain. The veggie omelet is very good. I suggest ordering your home fries well done.“
“Nestled amidst the charming streets of Jamaica Plain, MA, lies the Forest Hill Diner, a haven of warmth and nostalgia that beckons travelers and locals alike. Here, every sip of coffee is an invitation to journey back to simpler times, evoking memories of cozy mornings and hearty conversations. Served in classic Styrofoam cups with traditional pull-up lids, the coffee speaks of timeless quality and care.But the experience extends beyond the steaming brew. Forest Hill Diner’s pancakes are a symphony of flavors, each bite a delicate balance of fluffy texture, creamy butter, and sweet syrup. With every indulgent mouthful, diners are transported to a realm of pancake perfection, where every bite is a celebration of culinary craftsmanship.Yet, it is not merely the food that sets this diner apart. It is the intangible warmth that permeates its atmosphere, the genuine hospitality of its staff that makes every visitor feel like family. From the moment one steps through the door, they are enveloped in smiles and kindness, welcomed into a sanctuary of comfort and camaraderie.In essence, Forest Hill Diner transcends its role as a mere eatery; it is a sanctuary where the harmonious blend of good food, great coffee, and genuine hospitality creates an unforgettable dining experience, leaving a lasting impression on all who pass through its doors.“
“The decir is a little dated, but not raggedy at all. We were seated immediately. The staff was professional and polite. I enjoyed my veggie pizza and my husband's onion rings. The total for 3 people was $35. Would we do this again, yes. This is definitely a family restaurant. I have a bias for local, neighborhood restaurants, and the Pleasant Cafe is definitely in that category. This is a casual spot.Parking: They have a huge parking lot (by Roslindale standards) directly across from the restaurant.“
“Leighann was such a great server !! super nice and super attentive! came back today for the second time on my trip. will definitely come back when i’m back in town. food is DELICIOUS!!! and everything comes out fast ! cute lowkey vibes. 10/10!!!!!“
“I'm from California visiting my son in Boston, he told me about a spot around the corner from him Charlie's. It did not disappoint. The place was small and cozy. Charlie's is no joke, with a full bar, counter seating and tables it was perfect. As we walked in I noticed a board with the days specials,haddock sandwich or fish n chips, we both opted for the haddock sandwich, it was accompanied by fries, a small cup of coleslaw. The sandwich was served on a Brioche bun w lettuce, tomato mayo along w homemade tater sauce. Simply amazing. You can't go wrong here..“
“Food arrived hot and quick service excellent we asked for off the menu item Avacado toast and they had no problem making it perfectly 10 outta 10 comfortable no rush breakfastA big thing for me is they didn't hassle me about bringing in Starbucks I hate when places do that it's usually the reason I leave and don't come back so good on them.So I got a coffee before I left forgot to get it before they closed out the bill they were very good about it I thought I didn't have cash and even when I realized I did they comped it very nice staff if I could give them 6 stars I wouldParking: A few parking spots but freeKid-friendliness: There were kids eating by themselves must be from the building“
“Wow, there are some miserable people out there leaving reviews!Folks, DO read the reviews of the actual customers! They are NOT TRYING TO FOOL YOU!!!GREAT FOOD!These people actually cook their own food! They do not warm the soup out of a can!! They do not buy frozen Spinach pie and cook it for you…. they actually make it with fresh ingredients!They always try to listen to their customers and if it’s not on the menu and they have the ingredients they’ll make it for you…. Because they care! They have been caring for the customers for 23 years!“
“Old school diner feel but clean and servers are attentive. Food is consistent and quality is better than most other diners around. If you're coming on the weekend, come early, before 10am for less wait. On the weekdays, they're busy too but not as packed so should be able to get a table with little to no wait. They post specials and uses seasonal ingredients.“
“Theirs a young boy that works here with his dad , it's amazing to see a man teaching his son and the son is working the grill . Very good food , good service overall a great experience! Wonderful place to eat , only thing I didn't like was its cash only . Luckily the waitress was very nice and she said I can pay on Venmo , so I downloaded Venmo and paid but besides that it was an amazing experience!! Also good prices“
“Rewriting my review because the place has changed hands and changed menus. Pleasantly surprised to see that brunch was still on the menu, and even more pleasantly surprised to see these awesome Indian brunch fusion dishes. We got the butter chicken eggs Benedict and the masala chai French toast. It was super fun and delicious, definitely considering becoming a regular. My only regret is that the portions have shrunk somewhat since the previous owners.“
“I am up dating my review from a 2 to a 4, not 5 because I am a hard graded. I have been in My Cafe several times now since my review. There is a new set of people in there and the service is way improved. I can for sure recommend Heather's Omelet or the breakfast burrito.“
“I ate here for breakfast with my family on a trip to Cambridge last week. Andy's is reasonably priced, old school place with a simple menu serving diner comfort food. The staff was friendly and most of the patrons appeared to be regulars from the neighbourhood.“
“Great little greasy spoon for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, with us favoring the former two. Atmosphere/Ambience: unassuming 80s-style diner. Wonderful step back in time. Almost all bar seating with 70s-80s style stools and a few two person high-tops. Lots of photos of regular customers, sponsored youth sports teams, and celebrities who've visited. Tons of laminated pics of food and chalk/white board style listing of items. Service: Quick. Actually very quick. Sometimes are some barking of orders and is a fast-paced show to see. They definitely have their method and it works. Very customer-friendly. Lots of people and local blue collar workers showing up for pick-up, plenty of first-name basis customers. Food: Unassuming and just good. It's what you'd want from a diner. Not a hipster nuevo take on a diner. Just classic. The breakfast combos are great. The omelets nice. Food sometimes not giant portions but the prices are low! Coffee is fine. Price: Also stuck in a cheaper (simpler?) time. A big draw when considering what you get for the mulah. Tend to come back fairly regularly. It services its purpose!“
“We were visiting relatives in Watertown and decided to try this place for lunch. It was very busy on a Friday at lunchtime but we were quickly seated. The menu is vast and has everything from salads to burgers to sandwiches and even breakfast. Our party opted for a reuben sandwich, a burger, a Cobb salad, and an Asian chicken salad. Service and price were good“
“Hands down one of the best Chicken sandwiches I have ever eaten , chicken is fresh veggies look great fries are not salted and cooked to perfection keep up the good work , recommended to call ahead for take out busy place during lunch oh and cash only “
“Local breakfast/lunch joint. Been a part of Watertown landscape forever!Great food, fast courteous service and wicked good prices! This is a cash only establishment.Had the corn beef hash with 2 eggs (they don't do poached on the weekends); my wife had the egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel. Both super and ample servings!“
“The nicest people in town! The waitresses are super nice and the kitchen is always consistent and delicious- especially the omelettes and chocolate chip pancakes! If you’re looking for a warm atmosphere to enjoy your breakfast this is the spot! :) 10/10“
“Really prototypical diner! Just incredibly busy, but sound bites is currently undergoing renovations so that’s to be expected. Got the #7 special- good value, decent food! They didn’t have any black tea, which was a disappointment, but I’ll give grace and assume they’d run out in the rush.“
“Donut Villa Diner is small diner that I would give a 4.5 star.Food was good, standard, and served efficiently. Although I would have like to have some more flavor to the Egg Benedict I got,It was still good.Price was on par with breakfast style food in the area 8-18$ depending on what you got.Ice coffee was good.Service was nice, friendly and efficientSmall space though, only have counter space and small booths for 3-4 people max (2 if you are bigger)Very popular and busy on a sunday morning at 9:30a-10:30Wheelchair accessibility: Very tight space and two doors to enter through with tight radius. Unaware if another entrance.“
“We ordered breakfast meals and the pork chop Milanese - everything was terrific. My kids had the Mickey Mouse pancakes , which they made with blueberry eyes and and second pancake for the belly/body. They loved it. I had the Suffolk special with awesome Nutella/ricotta French toast. My husbands Milanese was so good with the plantains. The service here is also so good - super friendly and happy. We're coming back!“
“A nostalgic deli experience in Inman Square.As the oldest restaurant in Cambridge, S&S has cemented its status as a beloved local spot that serves a wide range of classic deli fares. l came here for lunch a few times and always had a satisfying experience.Among the appetizers, the Chopped Liver was my favorite. Although it was unexpectedly paired with pineapple and melon slices - a combination that didn't entirely complement the inherent sweetness of the liver spread - it was still enjoyable when paired with crackers and red onions. Bathed in their signature sauce, the S&S Fried Shrimp was also good. The sauce leaned more towards sweet rather than spicy, but the jumbo shrimp was still nice and crispy.The Seared Tuna Salad was fairly basic, but with its generous portions, it was an ideal choice for a hearty meal. Corned Beef Reuben came with perfectly toasted marble rye bread, and the corned beef itself was solid.One of the biggest perk of S&S is their own free parking lot, but empty spaces might be hard to come by during peak lunch hours.Overall, a great spot that provides a slice of the city’s culinary history with the timeless appeal of a classic deli. If you’re looking for a comforting meal with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere, I highly recommend giving them a try.Parking: Free street parking lot (enter via Hampshire st)Paid parking lot next to Olé (Springfield st)Paid street parking on Cambridge St & Hampshire st“
“My sister and I hosted a surprise party for my parents at Early Harvest. It was amazing. Red made the process painless and so easy. The food was amazing and the staff were extremely nice and attentive. I would give more stars if google allowed.“
“This is a hidden gem. The prices are good, the food is good and the customer service experience is nothing short of remarkable. Everyone there treats customers more like “friends” then “customers.” The place has a nostalgic-feeling to it and looks like an old-school diner and I absolutely LOVE IT! Where the heck can you have a full breakfast these days for $10.65 (Scott’s Special)? A Starbucks Venti and Sausage sandwich running north of $10.Visit this diner, you won’t regret and they will treat you like a rockstar.“
“Love Jimmy’s Broad Street Diner! I usually order takeout from here and it’s quite affordable, plus the portions are big. Can’t get enough of the spanakopita (spinach pie) and the steak&cheese sub. The chop suey is delicious and well seasoned. Make sure to ask how you want it prepared, the owner is so kind and attentive.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“
“The food was tasty. The steak cooked to perfection and the homemade corned beef hash has great a great amount of meat so flavorful I’ll be definitely coming back. This was my first time here and they definitely didn’t disappointDietary restrictions: Gluten free options and they care to ask you if it’s allergy“
“This dinner is awesome! Esp if you love old school vibes & classic dinner food. Trust the wisdom of the reviews… the breakfast potatoes taste like they captured your Grandma and trapped her in the kitchen. Parking was pretty easy - simple street parking. Prices were super reasonable too.“
“The perfect old school diner. The coffee is great, my eggs were poached perfectly and the corn beef hash was exactly what I needed. My server, Chris, was super quick, friendly and made great recommendations - most importantly, she refilled my coffee before I could even ask. I’m so happy to see a local business thrive and am excited to come back soon.“
“amazing place to enjoy with friends and partners or family... people there are amazing since two of my favorite team and also their owner are very nice person... thanks ro you guys this place is been my favorite because my honey loves their donuts and my friends loves their breakfast a d brunch... ;)“
“Do yourself a favor and get the Irish Breakfast plate at Martin’s. It’s absolutely delicious and probably the best breakfast dish that I’ve ever had. Eggs cooked to perfection, which by itself is a rare find. The black and white pudding was packed with flavor, really delicious. The sausages were fantastic. The homefries have an amazing seasoning, definitely the best I’ve ever had. Overall just an amazing breakfast. Thanks Martin’s!“
“One of my all time favorite diners. Always busy but it moves pretty quickly. The staff are really friendly. The food is so delicious. I highly recommend getting a bagel seared on the grill. The corned beef hash is really good. Quite peppery and great with the potatoes. Clam chowder is also “
“Nice place conveniently open till 3pm on Sundays and 9pm during the week. The breakfast was decent and they had real maple syrup as an option. Food came out great nothing was over cooked or burnt. We were satisfied with the amount of food and price for specials. There is a small parking lot in the back that made finding a spot convenient.Parking: Small parking lot out back but street parking around area was available.“
“Everything a diner should be. Fast service, quality food, excellent staff and customer service. Nothing makes me happier than sitting at the counter on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee watching my breakfast be made. Wish i lived closer - this would be a staple for me.“
“Classic neighborhood diner with a Greek theme. Prices are a bit steep but portions are incredibly generous. Open 7am to 3pm so plan accordingly. Also plan to have leftovers for another meal at home!Parking: 2 hour street parking free, usually within a blockKid-friendliness: Kid friendly staff, welcoming“
“This place is a local gem! It's a perfect spot to go with family or with friends. Food: I got the corned beef hash with potatoes. The hash was good flavor-wise but I wish the beef was portioned a little smaller so it could blend better. The eggs were solid but eggs are pretty solid everywhere. 7.5/10. Ambiance: So cute and there are just such great vibes here! The staff is very friends and it's a lovely local place. We went on a weekend and it was packed so you know it's reliable 8.5/10. Price: Pricing is pretty standard for a brunch place. My meal was about $15 and I was decently full 8/10. Would definitely go ahead if I'm in the area!“
“Food is very good! The lady that served me was very nice and easy on the eyes as well. My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey but that's the world we live in today. Will definitely come back sometime when I'm in the area ?“
“Went to this restaurant today for lunch with a friend who had eaten here before (was my first time eating here). The menu had many choices to choose from which was nice! Our appetizers and food came to the table pretty quickly when we were ready for them and the waiter was great in checking that we had everything we needed occasionally. The cost for our meals were reasonable and readily available. The atmosphere was comfortable and pleasant so it made my experience happy and at ease. Would come back to try something else in the future and I would definitely suggest this place to friends as a go to place to eat.“
“This little place just blends in and you'll drive past it if you aren't careful. And that would be a shameThere isn't much to speak of. It doesn't look like much when you step inside. It's small and maybe a little too tight. But sometimes those are the best places.Our server was great and had a great attitude. Some basic breakfast stuff was out of stock, like bagels (who runs out of bagels??), but she smiled through it. It happens.The food came out pretty quick and was excellent, and the coffee... hot, as it should be. The price was fair, the food was good and served quickly.Don't take my word for it, stop on in and check them out. Boston's best kept secret.Parking: $20 extortion lot around the corner“
“If you're getting breakfast in Southie...scratch that, if you're getting breakfast in Boston, it should be HERE. There are very few joints left that evoke the immediate sense of comfort when walking in - it's good and honest food, and great prices, with incredible staff. The corned beef hash, breakfast sandwiches, omelets, and coffee are something you go to bed looking forward to eating them in the morning.“
