As a life long expert on eggplant- everything eggplant-pizza, sandwiches, full dinners, even as far as eggplant pancakes ( just kidding on this one) you folks get a ten out out 5 stars every time!

The meal and overall experience was Great! The Best breakfast we've had since being here for the Cubs-Sox series. I had eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns, and a small stack of pancakes. Coffee too

Our waiter was great. Friendly. Attentive.

It was packed but we were seated in less than 5 minutes.“

“Absolutely delicious and hearty. Great portions for amazing prices. The hours were the best part, though, after getting off a flight, getting our baggage, and grabbing the rental car it was 9pm and didn't want to risk going somewhere that might close early. La Suegra's was a godsend. Thank you for the delicious food to start our trip!“

“One of a kind Service! Great home cooking“

“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.“

“Delicious, good pricing, friendly customer service“

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

“I very rarely write any review. I drive 25 minutes regularly to eat here. Food is always cooked perfect and made with love. Quality ingredients. Homemade delicious soups.“

“The Liberty is a neighborhood gem, interior has the bones of a classic diner street car, all narrow lines and lived in charm, with none of the gimmicks some places lean on to fake that feel.

The crowd is what makes it. A comfortable mix of working folks and locals who clearly know the staff by name, and the staff know them right back. Service is warm without being performative, the full bar is a nice surprise for a no frills spot, and the food is exactly what you want when you walk through the door: home cooked meal with generous portions.

One of our favorite local stops for an unfussy, satisfying meal. If you want a place that feels like a neighborhood rather than a concept, this is it.“

“Let’s talk about Forest Hills Diner. As a Boston Native, How Dare I be from here, have attended High School in Hyde Park, and have never eaten at Forest Hills Diner until today. Literally! I was TODAY years old when I learned that Forest Hills Diner has some amazingggggggggg food.

I flew in this morning to check on my grandmother and decided to grab breakfast with one of my best friends before heading over. She had been raving about Forest Hills Diner, so of course, I had to go.

It was early in the morning, so the foot traffic was slow. The restaurant was very clean, and as soon as we opened the door, the gentleman behind the counter was very welcoming, offering a warm greeting and a big smile.

As I was at the counter exploring the menu, I was excited to see the variety of options offered. There literally was so much to choose from, and I wanted one of everything. LoL! However, I decided to get the Beef Smoked Sausage on an English Muffin with Home Fries, add Onions, Extra Onions, Well Well Well Done…

The Beef Sausage was well done and juicy. The smokiness was super flavorful and let the natural beef flavor shine, yet it held its own lane as well. The sandwich also had a generous portion of meat and was well worth the price.

The Home Fries were absolutely amazing. They were done the exact way I ordered them. They were very well seasoned and the crispiness of the edges paired with the softness of the middle, OhEmGeeeeeeeeeeee… I want more now. LoL!!!

As I was eating, the foot traffic definitely picked up, and it was so heart-warming to see the guy behind the counter welcome people by name as they walked through the door. This is a representation of TRUE service. The kind of survive that you don’t see anymore. Not to mention, the charm of a local spot where the people know your name. Ha

Overall, my experience at Forest Hills Diner was superb. Not only was it an experience worth promoting, but it was also so amazing that I will ensure I come back whenever I am home and in the mood for breakfast. The go-to will be Forest Hills Diner.

Food. Service. Ambiance. And Cleanliness, all above standard.“

“Great food, great prices, great service and bottomless great coffee at this diner-style cafe. You won’t find many of these around any more and this one is a treasure!“

“What an exceptional gem in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city! The waitor was extremely kind, patient, and accommodating to our family. We traveled in from out of state for medical appointments and were welcomed with open arms. My sons have autism and ADHD, one is non-verbal. No judgement, no looks, no differential treatment, and absolutely no doubt we are valued customers. What a fantastic feeling knowing you can come to the city and there is a place that is not only kind but accommodating to individuals who are different. The cleanliness of this place is top notch as well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are appreciated Mr. Andres! We will return!“

“excelente ubicación,presentación de platillos y atención“

“We went for the first time today and had a really great experience! We came in with our 2 year old and there weren't any tables so we sat at the counter with the toddler. The food came super fast and was perfect for him and then a table opened up and they promptly reseated us and helped us bring all of our stuff. The special benny was delicious and felt really fresh and the corned beef was lovely. We will be back!“

“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.“

“Great food to eat an good serving“

“I just wanted to say that I think that andys dinner is a blessing to be in̈in to get break fast or lunch but I just wanted to say something to all of the staff members I not mad with no one it's just me and I been seeing the doctor s all the time my brothehas been driving me everywhere God bless everyone's“

“I love this place and highly recommend it! I'm home with a newborn and order delivery from them pretty often as a little treat to myself. :) The food and lattes are always great! Wonderful customer service too: Today the delivery driver (Uber Eats) didn't drop off my latte for whatever reason and even though the cafe confirmed it was picked up, they refunded it anyway. (Thank you!!)“

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

“Great Service and great food“

“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“

“Sunrise Grill in Central Square keeps rescuing my Saturday mornings. The place is tiny, sure, but the bustle feels like part of the charm. One step inside and the smell of sizzling bacon hits you first, then the chatter of regulars arguing over the Sox. Coffee lands on the table within a minute—dark, hot, and strong enough to wake the dead. I always order the lemon-ricotta pancakes they’re impossibly fluffy and come with a swipe of real maple syrup. Home fries arrive crisp on the outside, soft inside, flecked with rosemary. Service? Fast and unfussy. They top off your mug without being asked, and the cook shouts a thank-you as you leave. Prices sit right in that sweet zone where you feel full but not fleeced. If you crave a straightforward New England breakfast, this spot nails it.“

“I stopped here last spring with my son on the way back to NYC, and we were not disappointed! This is the first fine meal we had on our short visit. Diners in Boston aren't all that different than back home; the portions were incredible but more importantly tasty and filling! This will be our first spot to eat on our next visit.“

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

“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 is an amazing find. From the moment you walk in you’re warmly welcomed wether your the only customer or walking in with every seat filled. The energy is buzzing with friendly conversation as you can tell there are always returning customers and you feel right at home. Prices are beyond fair especially given the quality; coffees always bold and fresh. Home fries are by far the best in middelsex county. Everything from the hash to the pancakes is always great and has the made from scratch taste. The best part of Jimmys is the family who owns it, Rita is one of a kind and you can’t replicate this place or it’s atmosphere anywhere else. I recommend to give Jimmys a try if you haven’t yet, you will be back for more!“

“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! 😊“

“Quick note: cash only!

My husband and I really enjoyed this cute little diner. It was charming, the food was delicious, and the waitstaff were so friendly. We came for the breakfast and left more than satisfied. We enjoyed sitting on the patio area for people watching and chatting. Such a great neighborhood find!“
