“Great food to eat an good serving“

“Me & my husband visited this past weekend. We were on a mini vacation and live no where close to Boston, so we were only eating local places. We were specifically looking for breakfast food, found this place about a 10 minute walk from our studio, and headed over. Food was great & the service was good even with being as busy as they were in a small location. As a southerner, I wholeheartedly approve of the breakfast 🙌 (as a side note, the French toast was delicious, I mean everything was that we ordered, but the FT was g•o•o•d. 👌)“

“S&S is OPEN for deli takeout during this time from 11am- 7pm. Curbside pickup. Enter only at front door 1334 Cambridge St.“

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!“

“Service was fast and friendly, coffee felt overpriced but I was proven wrong as you get almost two whole portions for the cold brew and it was delicious. My chicken and waffles was great, my boyfriend’s omelette was ok but it came with a laughable amount of home fries especially for the price. Probably wouldn’t return for food but might stop by for coffee!“

“Excellent Breakfast With great service“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“A Saturday favorite for the fam!“

“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.“

“Came in from out of town for appointments and stopped in for a late dinner. Got breakfast because it’s quick and easy and I’m normally a very picky eater but I loved home fries and corn beef hash. The waitress was quick and friendly. Would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Lovely experience on a rainy Sunday. Service was great along with very tasty food“
