“One of a kind Service! Great home cooking“

“Perfect. This is the kind of place I can come back to! Local, historical, ethical and flavorful! We were lucky enough to get seats at the counter where you can see all the action. Food, service and atmosphere are all top notch. As an added bonus for all of you day drinkers out there, this diner has a liquor license. This place is historical and also nowhere near the Patriot Trail so if you're there you did it on purpose. I think my favorite thing was the hustle and bustle of regular folks coming in and out of the diner, including two cops who were picking up a lunch order!“

“The #1 of best diner 🍽 I've had the pleasure 😍of enjoying everything I've ever order there🤗. More years to come and more to eat😋.“

“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!“

“My go to sit down lunch spot ever! 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! When eggplant not available, cheese steak meets my tough standards“

“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.“

“Total nostalgia!! Been coming here since the 1970’s. Almost everything is still the same, even the coin operated juke box filled with all music prior to the 1960’s.“

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

“Absolutely fabulous! Great food, excellent service!“

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

“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“

“Nice diner in Dedham. The service was great and the place was clean. We ordered the egg breakfast with French toast, steak omelet with avocado and avocado toast on sourdough. We also ordered hot chocolate and strawberry & banana crepes that were delicious. The portions are good sized and the prices are reasonable. Definitely lots of townies and that's a great sign. The food was tasty but the home fries need some seasoning.“

“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!“

“Had the flat iron Benny, amazing!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Favorite brunch spot! Good savory and sweet brunch options, food is delicious! Also drinks are great. Iced coffee size is so large, giving the people what they want! And atmosphere is so nice, great outdoor seating with an umbrella at each table for shade. Always leave in a good mood 👍“

“Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Friendly wait staff.“

“Great food to eat an good serving“

“excelente ubicación,presentación de platillos y atención“

“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.“

“Leo’s is a great place that has a friendly staff and great breakfast and lunch food with speedy service. Highly recommended.“

“our favorite spot in Roslindale“

“i ordered banana stuffed pancakes as per the menu and well it wasn’t what i imagined and they were kinda tough for a pancake. but tasty paired with the warm syrup. it was a nice touch. my other dish was maple peppered chicken benedict i thought it tasted like thanksgiving. there was and overpower of pepper vs the no maple flavor it provided lol. the home fries were very salty and cold but small so their cute. our server was great, friendly and attentive, although some of the employees seem overworked. great place for a late night eat!!

p.s. the door is pushed closed by the wind pressure It creates so pull hard when opening!!“

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

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“
