It is so wonderful to hear that the Agawam Diner is still in business. I grew up in Portsmouth, NH and from 1975?-1989, my mother had to take me for a periodic checkup to an allergy physician in Danvers and most every time on the way back home we would stop at the diner to have something to eat. I am now 55 and living in Florida, but I will never my several visits to the Agawam Diner. For those that haven't eaten there yet, do yourself a favor and stop in. You will not be disappointed

Canned cranberry sauce, wtf. No where does it say Cash only until you get the bill and look like a fool. I won't be back. No ADA ramp either.

The atmosphere alone makes "the diner" as I knew it growing up worth a visit. There are plenty of good items on the menu, I recommend the chicken pot pie and a slice of chocolate cream pie.
Great little diner! Wonderful server and delicious omelet.

We love this diner. It’s the classic Massachusetts diner experience — great service, comfort food, tight cozy spaces, solid coffee, and prices that won’t hurt your wallet.
The menu is massive, offering all-day breakfast, sandwiches, diner plates, and don’t forget about the pies (seriously, the pies are a must!). The place is small, so be prepared to wait on weekends, but it’s totally worth it. Portions are huge, so you’ll definitely leave full. The food is solid, though I’d recommend sticking to the regular menu instead of the specials. I tried the fried chicken platter from the specials, and it was a bit bland. The mac & cheese was excellent.
Oh, and heads up — it’s cash only! But there’s an ATM right next door.

Seafood platter was amazing and the chocolate cream pie

This might be a casual spot for locals, but as travelers from Europe, it felt like a truly authentic American experience. The interior has that classic American diner vibe, filled with casual, local customers.
We ordered the vegetarian omelette with white toast, blueberry pancakes with maple syrup, and bottomless coffee. While the omelette wasn’t particularly impressive—the veggies inside were a bit undercooked—the toast was fantastic, especially with the butter that came with it. The blueberry pancakes were the highlight, perfectly balanced in sweetness and complemented by the maple syrup.
The menu is quite meat-heavy, so it might not be the best choice for vegetarians or vegans.
Lastly, our server was amazing. She didn’t take any notes while we ordered, yet brought everything out perfectly. We’re still in awe—truly a professional!

Great place to eat but getting a table can be a challenge since people seem to try to get in a line ahead of you even if they got there after you
