I love that they now take credit cards. Pancakes are huge. Eggs are extra large. Great family atmosphere, no thrills breakfast with large portions. Friendly staff.

I happened to be in the Boston, MA area for a business trip and on my way out, I stopped in Everett to get some down home breakfast and not only did I find delicious, fresh home breakfast food, I also had a great conversation with Viola whom took my order, served me and brought a huge smile to my face with her "Italian-BAH-ston" accent, as a New Yorker, I could hear it right away! She was super kind, friendly and welcoming. She also introduced me to her good friend Maria Teresa, whose company/conversation I also enjoyed; we closed down the diner, lol! I will definitely be returning to Boston/Everett and to see Viola at this great down home breakfast nook, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank You "Mam Viola" for your help and warm welcome to your table, and Maria Teresa for your friendly conversation, I hope to see you both again!
Dempsey’s Breakfast & Lunch: A Royal Feast (But Mind the Crown Jewels)
The Queen, The Prince, and this humble subject embarked on a noble quest for breakfast glory at Dempsey’s Breakfast & Lunch in Everett—a 4.4-starred kingdom according to Google’s loyal peasants. After a swift seven-minute chariot ride and a brief parking joust, we crossed the threshold… and wondered if we’d accidentally stumbled into a vintage diner instead of a top-rated eatery.
The floors whispered tales of meals past (perhaps in need of a knight with a mop), the ceiling tiles looked like they’d survived the Boston Tea Party, and the walls could’ve used a fresh coat of paint—or possibly an exorcism. But fear not! The service was swift and friendly, our waitress materialized like a breakfast fairy godmother, and the menu was a tome of endless possibilities. Fifteen omelet choices? A crepe fit for a sugar-crazed prince? The Queen and I nearly succumbed to decision paralysis.
When the food arrived, all doubts melted like butter on a hot pancake. The Western omelet was a golden masterpiece, the sausage crispier than a New England fall, and the Prince’s Nutella-stuffed crepes could’ve doubled as a dessert plate. Even The Queen’s bacon achieved peak crispness—no small feat for royalty.
Then came the scroll of doom (aka the bill). At $71 pre-tip, we briefly considered pawning The Prince’s crown to cover the cost. Was it delicious? Absolutely. Worth the treasure? Debatable. If you’re prepared to part with a few extra gold coins, Dempsey’s will treat you well—just don’t expect the ambiance to match the price tag.
Final Verdict: 4 stars for food, 2 for atmosphere, and 1.5 for your wallet’s survival chances. We’ll be back… once the royal treasury recovers.

Big plates. Friendly service. Pancakes a bit strange. 08/09/2025 Update: I’ve been here multiple times with my family over the years. The pancakes are now bigger plus better & delicious! The new chefs are so friendly. I recommend the Dempsey special, the chorizo omelet or some pancakes. It’s a classic open diner feel. A few new waitresses, both friendly and easy to talk to. The bathroom needs renovation my son got stuck in there.

Food was excellent, I’m a person who typically likes lunch food more than breakfast but this breakfast was so delicious. Eggs were fried perfect over easy, potatoes were moist inside but crispy on the outside, all the food was well seasoned and felt like good value. Staff is nice and attentive. I recommend Dempseys special. Definitely will come back!
