38 Best Diners near Dedham

“Absolutely fabulous! Great food, excellent service!“

“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.“

This is exactly what you expect when you go to a diner.

Parking: I was there on foot, but it is in a residential area so you can probably find a parking space there.

“Good food very nice service“

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

“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. 👌)“

“Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Friendly wait staff.“

“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!“

“Best fish dinner so glad they’re open three nights a week I will definitely be a regular again“

“Second time here within 6 months. Last time they were good and I vowed I would give them another try. Last time there was no table service, I sat at the counter then. The place was lively and the food was decent. This time I ordered veggie omelet with shelled eggs and beef sausage with home fries and grits on the side, plus coffee. Then I sat down.

Prompt service from Ms. Edna..she's on point. She's personable, has great multitasking skills, and tries to anticipate your wants in a timely fashion. The only issue I had was with the home fries. Some of them were undercooked and you need to use a generous amount of salt/ pepper for the grits.

If I'm in the area, I will stop in for a decent, generously proportioned meal. Breakfast or lunch. Solid choice“

“yummy breakfast potatoes with perfect seasoning. delicious. you will leave full, happy and ready for a nap. blt sandwich was a masterpiece“

“Some good, some bad, but the good overall won out. Had an overnight layover in Boston during a multi-day train trip and I figured an all-night diner would be a good spot to while away some time. I have multiple disabilities and travel with a service dog. I rarely have any issues with this, so I was shocked when before entering I was told I couldn't bring her in, even once I explained that she is a service dog. Worse, the young man I spoke to asked to see "service dog papers," which is a major violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. When I explained that there are no such thing as service dog papers and began to explain the ADA regulations, he interrupted me, saying, "If you don't have any papers, I don't know what you expect me to do." Fortunately, at that moment, another server swooped in and told him that he was breaking the law and that if the owner had a problem with it he could take it up with her. She seated me, apologized, and took my order. The menu had a really nice selection of vegetarian breakfast options and the portobello benedict was quite good. Once I was seated, nobody hassled me and the server (who said she had recently graduated from law school and knew the ADA regulations) was really nice about the whole thing, apologizing honestly more than she needed to. Overall a good experience, but if you have any accessibility needs, be prepared for potential problems.“

“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.“

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