“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.“

“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.“

“This breakfast and lunch restaurant is homey and offers an extensive menu of both breakfast and lunch items. The prices are reasonable and portions generous. They have vegan friendly, gluten-free as well as the typical cafe fare. Something for everyone.“

“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.“

“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“

“Came here by total accident. Seriously … I was thinking of a different restaurant when I accidentally clicked on this one. So happy for the mistake because this place is so quaint and yummy!!!

From the outside … and honestly on the inside too, it’s very underwhelming. However, once you experience the home town friendliness and delicious, diner-like food, you really forget about the ambiance and instead … enjoy the diner-next-door vibes and hominess.

The place is small, but I appreciated the online “waitlist” feature. It goes by a lot quicker than expected. I had to re-put myself on the waitlist cuz we weren’t at the restaurant yet. This place also has a “order at the counter” first and then get seated situation, which helps things move along and turn tables over, but I’d have to say that this is my least favorite part. You get more fast food vibes than dining in vibes.

The food, however, was definitely worth it. They have a large menu with amazing coffee drinks. The coffee drink I got was probably my favorite part. The food is also really good and feels like breakfast without being too greasy and heavy feeling. I came here for breakfast, but I definitely want to try their lunch menu too. I’m glad my family and I stumbled on this place by accident cuz I definitely discovered a gem in the rough.“

“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.“

“Food was great, workers were friendly.“

“I can always count on TBD-TS to provide good service and quality food, with something for everyone! We had a group of 7, during the holidays, so we expected the restaurant to be crowded, but they accommodated us quickly and every meal turned out perfectly — including our favorite, “The Perfect Plate!” One guest ordered the Chicken Pot Pie and the Cheesecake and absolutely loved it! Thanks for making it a special experience for my family and for all the special memories in 2025! See you next year!“

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

“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 Family Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly made us feel like family. The breakfast was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Everything was cooked perfectly, from the eggs and pancakes to the crispy bacon and home fries.
Service was quick without ever feeling rushed, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions you get. If you’re looking for a classic, comforting breakfast spot with amazing food and service, Jimmy’s Family Restaurant is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back again!“
