“The best place for lunch in Boston! Don't miss the Turkey #2 sando; the Turkey #1 is also very good and tasty. It’s the only place we ate at twice during the week we visited Boston. The service was nice in general, and especially the guy taking orders was helpful and kind. I don't know his name, but I know his brother is also named Jorge.“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“Incredible customer service, the kind that is rare to find! Above and beyond! The pastries are delicious. The Cruffins are light, airy and just the right amount of sweetness. We support small businesses, and this one is a hidden gem!“

“Tiny place. But they know what they’re doing. Went in one of these freezing days. Thankfully there wasn’t too many people waiting, a lot of DoorDash orders I noticed. Was able to wait/ eat inside at the little counter even with the bulk of my jacket. Probably the most delicious breakfast sandwich I ever had/ will ever have. The bacon was perfect and the sourdough was insane. I was worried about it being too greasy and heavy but it was actually fine. The two guys working were great and friendly. Heard the cashier giving recs to everybody.“

“I expected more than corned beef out of a can from the description on the menu. The home fries were cold. Good sized portions and the service was adequate. We chose another breakfast place for the next day. Great location, though, in a walkable neighborhood .“

“This location has seating inside which is why I like this location better than the original. Clean facilities. Nice staff. No public restrooms. On the expensive side so bring your credit cards 💳. Give this place a try if you’re in the area. We will definitely be going back.“

“Food was great I've had Mike and Patty's twice both times food was delicious only constructive criticism I have is with the app it doesn't allow for you to customize as you please for example had the steak and cheese. The first day came out awesome week. Later was trying to try the bomb steak and cheese.
But I don't eat mushrooms, and it didn't allow me to take out the mushrooms only what cheese I wanted, or if I wanted cheese or not.
That's my only complaint.“

“Excellent breakfast, have eaten at Java Grind and Grill more than a few times and every time the breakfast has been delicious and the coffee is even better. Service is great and the atmosphere very welcoming. Best kept secret in Stoneham, hope it lasts.“

“Breakfast sandwiches are okay. Bacon is thicker and chewy- not crispy. Bread is toasted well. I did ask for my sandwich well-done, and it was just toasted okay. I would imagine they’re not usually toasted well. The best part about the “crack” sandwich was all of the gooey cheese. It saved the whole meal. Who can go wrong with a grilled cheese? Egg was fried perfectly, and just a bit runny. Wish the bacon was better and the sandwich had a little seasoning. It was very plain. The cheese made it, really. But like I said, they really couldn’t go wrong with all of the cheese they put in there.“

“I stopped by on a whim and found my new favorite brunch spot. Delicious, fresh food and great service. Reasonably priced and clean dining area. I will be back!“

“Food has been unbelievable each time we eat here! The biscuits and gravy are one of the best I’ve had.“

“Went a few weeks ago Saturday morning and went back again today, 12/28 in the morning. Good food and service. However there are only 4 booths and high stools. I can’t sit on a high stool and I know that someday there won’t be any tables available. Otherwise great place.“

“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.“

“Visiting from MN and we will always come back here when we’re in MA. 🥹 Every one of the staff were smiling and so so sweet, we felt overwhelmingly welcomed as soon as we walked in. Food is 10/10! Wish we could take this little cafe back home with us. Thank you Aldo and family for a memorable experience. Wish you and yours all the best! ❤️“

“Stopped here for the Hungry man… for $16. The food was OK. The potatoes were cold with hot spots. They put the cold butter on the hot pancakes, never figured out why they’d do that. But, there are something’s in the world I’ll never understand. If I am in the area, I’d consider Freddy’s or go to McDonalds and cut the cost in half.“

“I'm here nearly every day before work and the food, drinks, and staff are all equally exceptional. The only coffee shop that's batting 1000 on a perfect drink every time.“

“It was over fifty years ago. I was a young boy and the Silver Slipper was run by a large, very lovely woman named Mary (Long gone, now.) I don't know who runs it now but I always went in for the hot dogs. They had the best hot dogs ever. It was another era.“

“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! 😊“

“Great place to eat breakfast we always leave full love their home squeezed orange juice“

“Had breakfast here every day of our trip and one lunch. Good food, nice staff feels like a local spot

Opens early, free coffee refills. Pancakes are excellent with plenty of fruit. Chicken burgers and sandwiches hit the spot too.“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“No mind blowing “vibes” but food and quickness of it being ready are 100. Cash only. Went to Mike and Patty’s in high rise and they had no bacon so we left and found this place. 2 egg, toast, homefries and bacon with coffee for two was $20. Total. Hells yeah and ready by the time the change hit my hand.“

“I've often walked past this great place during my daily walks. The blinds were always down, so I thought it wasn't open. However, when my sister visited from Quincy earlier this week, we decided to have breakfast there. Peter’s Sunrise did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. My sister even said the toast was the best she had ever had at a breakfast restaurant. The coffee is good too. The service was welcoming as well. Today will be my 4th time having breakfast there. I highly recommend it.“

“This business is a hidden gem! I got 2 platters of assorted wraps and bagel sandwiches for a business lunch and it was a big hit! Be sure to check out this wonderful family owned business!“

“Busy and the workers go through so many customers so quickly! I think the part that I liked the most is how genuinely nice the team members were.

The 1 star deduction is because there were very few seats at the side bar, and I overheard many other customers complain under their breath that they couldn't find a seat.

Dunkin Donuts coffee isn't as strong as at other places, but it sure tastes good!“

“When I lived in Dorchester, I could hardly believe how old this is. Build 84 years before this became a country outstanding! There are a lot of historical buildings in Boston, they are a must-see when you visit. Just try to street clear of the Mass ave nonsense.“

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“Went for breakfast with my husband and grandmother. The server was super friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and to our surprise, large portions and delicious! I loved the French Toast! Highly recommend!!“

“We came here MULTIPLE times and it’s become our go-to for brunch! A great local mom and pop run diner in Watertown. We had omelets, lattes, breakfast tacos, chilaquiles, etc. and always enjoyed ourselves.
Dining area inside is small but cozy and quaint, perfect for anyone willing to smoosh themselves in during busy hours. Otherwise there’s plenty of outside seating and on a nice day, it’s the best.
We saw the same hard working people every time we went. It’s clear they’re a local spot and well worth investing in.
My favorite part is you see all ages at this diner- newborn babies, high school dates, families, to senior groups chatting over coffee.“

“This place is great. I am not a breakfast person so I go for lunch. Two great items are the burgers and the fried haddock sandwich with steak fries. Burger always cooked the way you like it. I like well done. Fried haddock is considered a special item but usually available. This is delicious if you like fried items. I am there every Saturday for lunch. Give this place a try. You will not regret it.“

“Delicious food and excellent services. Very clean and friendly. Hard working and very good people. Best food around. Definitely try this restaurante.“

“Small neighborhood greasy spoon diner with generous portions and an excellent breakfast menu. Numerous daily specials including omelets, stuffed French toast and benedicts. I had the William Wallace omelet with fresh apples inside for a sweet savory and my girlfriend had one with avocado, broccoli and spinach. Service was polite and self service coffee was available. Not necessarily a destination for brunch but a nice place if you live in the neighborhood.“

“Fabulous food, Italian coffee, breakfast sandwich and friendly atmosphere of this coffee shop. Delicious egg sandwiches! Customer service is awesome. Owner and cook, waitresses all excellent!“
