“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.“

“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. 👌)“

“A great, classic American diner!
This is exactly what you expect when you go to a diner.
Friendly and attentive service, as well as a large selection of breakfast dishes. You can also have lunch here.
The prices are reasonable and I can highly recommend starting your day here!

Vegetarian options: Of course there are also many things without meat.

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

Kid-friendliness: Children can also eat here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Possible.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This dinner is awesome! Esp if you love old school vibes & classic dinner food. Trust the wisdom of the reviews… the breakfast potatoes taste like they captured your Grandma and trapped her in the kitchen. Parking was pretty easy - simple street parking. Prices were super reasonable too.“

“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“

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

“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“

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

“It's the ideal small family diner!!! Great food and service. My favorite spot in southie.

Parking: Street parking and free parking spots across the street.

Kid-friendliness: Kid menu and high chair“

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

“Food was great, workers were friendly.“

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“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!“

“Really good food and friendly, quick service. It has a “homey” and personable feel to it, which I really liked. Also, very reasonably priced, probably because they’re CASH ONLY. I ordered a veggie omelet and a side of perfectly crisp bacon for just under $20 including tax. The home fries are excellent. I would be a regular here if I lived nearby.

Parking: Smallish lot, but free and probably enough to accommodate people on busy days.“
