    Chicken Classic
    Jeff K.

    Had take out so can't vouch for the interior, but appears very cool and retro. Menu seems more fit for a breakfast/brunch, but I had lunch with the Classic Club. Highly recommend this sandwich, I got no bacon but you can do as you please. Great sauce and lots of chicken and fries.

    Texas French toast, eggs, sausage and home

    Been here before and had wonderful experiences with food and service. Not today babay! Myself and 1 elderly guest came in today and we waited to be seen for 15 minutes as they seated folks at the bar. We didn't get a smile, greeting, not even a "please wait while we get ourselves together " we just stood there looking insanely ridiculous!!!! I asked for the manager to explain and lo and behold we have a seat! Go figure! At this point, I'm not even waiting to taste the food before I review. If ignoring us was racially motivated, that really sucks! On the other hand, they may just be hiring incompetent, and careless staff. Will probably be another 3 years before I visit again!

    I was in Dedham for an early morning appointment and stopped to the 50s diner for breakfast. It was easy to find and had parking. I was surprised that they were cash only but said okay knowing I would need to use the ATM inside the restaurant. I was greeted promptly and being a solo diner asked if I wanted to sit at the counter or a table. I chose a table. The menu was at the table and had both breakfast and lunch items. The interior was decorated 50s themed with decor and pictures. Service was quick and fast price point was great! I got the breakfast burrito for 6.50 and a side of French toast for 3.70 along with a cranberry juice. To total was less than $15! Great deal and yummy breakfast. If I'm ever in the area again I'll return.

    My boyfriend and I came here for lunch on President's Day and had an enjoyable experience. The diner does not take reservations and there was a long line, but it moved pretty quickly. (A sign of a great restaurant is when there's a line out the door)! We waited about 20-25 mins to be seated. This place is cash-only, but that's part of its fifties era charm. They are not open for dinner, but their breakfast and lunch menus are huge and have a lot of variety. The restrooms were clean, which is of great importance to me when writing a review! The food was fresh and delicious- I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and he got the Classic Club Sandwich with fries and a side of fruit. We were pleased with the value. The portions were generous and we spent about $40 for the two of us. Our server was attentive and checked in on us frequently. The ambience is low key, casual, and very much how I envision a real fifties diner would have been. There are photos of Elvis on the wall! Even though it's busy, the tables are spaced far enough apart so that it doesn't feel crowded. It was actually pretty quiet and we had no trouble hearing each other. I would definitely come back here for lunch and I also want to try their brunch since the menu looks really good! I'm so glad I stumbled on this hole-in-the-wall diner which is a true gem!

    Hot dogs, fries and strawberry frappe.
    Pam D.

    First time eating here. I was in the area shopping and the frappes on their website looked yummy. And yes, they were. I ordered one and apparently it comes as two. Bonus! Though I wasn't expecting it. I tried my best two drink both and took the second in a to go cup. It was very light and the cream on top was delicious. Had the hot dog with fries. It was good. My waitress was very nice. The only downfall was being placed at the table at the men's room door. I understand because it was only me they didn't want to seat me at the bigger table, but it's not the best to eat food. I find it gross. Other than that, cute little place.

    Eggs Benedict with Turkey sausage
    Melissa P.

    First time here after a friend recommended it and I'll definitely be back. Can't believe I've passed by this place hundreds of times to get to Legacy Place. I've always been curious as I've seen a line out the door at times. This is a great hidden treasure, the food came out fast and warm. If you like the traditional Diner feel, this is truly it. Feels cozy and traditional. It's cash only so make sure you have some offhand but I also think there's a nearby ATM if not inside. Busy inside but we got lucky and a seat right away, I think the customers are mostly locals which is nice as well - hey neighbors! They have several different options for hot sauce (Chalula, Tobasco, Franks). I ordered the eggs Benedict which is always my go to and the eggs were nice and soft, crispy homefries, and no issues substituting the bacon for Turkey sausage (I try to avoid eating pork).

It pains me to write this review but I hope it's seen by management and they address this issue. I had a friend visiting from another state (drove for 10 hours in snow and ice). I was excited to bring them here for brunch. I made a reservation online the day before just in case. We arrived at 10am and the doors were locked. The hours said they'd be open at 9am. Tried getting the staff's attention but it seemed like we were being ignored. I called the phone number several times. No one picked up even though I could see staff inside. I even tried sending them a message on social media but no response. We ended up going to the breakfast spot next door. When we were done, we walked past the restaurant and of course it was open then. Needless to say, this experience was super disappointing. Communication about updated hours or picking up the phone isn't too much to ask for. One bad experience isn't a dealbreaker but two will be. I hope management fixes this quickly.

We're requesting you when we come back. I had the garlic fries and the pork plantain tacos yummie. The only consistent letdown? No sliced avocado , just guac... and still no pikliz! That extra kick would elevate so many of these dishes. I'm seriously tempted to BMOP (bring my own pikliz) next time. And to the chocolate loc'd bartender... THANK YOU from the whole krew! Not one of us had a drop of alcohol, but your existence alone was the real pour. Orchid, we love you, just tighten up the speed a bit (you discounted the meal) and you would have 5 stars and we would be golden. Keep shining !

    This is a great spot to have an app and catch some March madness…read more The service was 5/5 or waitress was attentive and engaging asking for feedback on our drinks and food while also being fast on a Friday afternoon For food we went with some items from their st pats menu, the Irish nachos were basically cheese fries. But they were good, it was the right amount of cheese to waffle fry. For my main I got the Reuben which was Ok but a bit of a let down. Really heavy sauerkraut and thousand island flavor. The fries also were a little over cooked for my taste. All in all would go back for the massive bar and solid appetizers along with excellent service.

The bolognese here is next level especially when you ask for pepper flakes on the side and extra sauce. Absolutely amazing. And fair warning I learned the hard way that this bolognese is not on every Tavern menu so when you find it appreciate it fully. Service is always warm and efficient from the moment you walk in. It feels easy and welcoming every single time. They also have a rewards system which is a nice little bonus for a spot we already frequent. This is one of our favorite local date night places. Cozy vibes great food and consistent quality keep us coming back over and over. Hubby swears by the chicken ranch sandwich and the fish and chips and honestly he is not wrong. Pop in enjoy the food enjoy the vibes and stay a while. We sometimes stay for hours and just talk and flirt!
