Everything about this place can be described as "too". Too small, too cramped, too outdated decor, and too overpriced. The food is fresh from a can. The coffee makes Dunkin's look gourmet. How do you screw up a ham and cheese omelet? Start with very little ham or cheese and cook it until it has the texture of rubber. read more

Went there on Saturday morning, Aug. 1. When we arrived at the diner, we saw a cook (complete with greasy apron) smoking a cigarette behind the building. Not a great look for wanting to have a fresh breakfast! Feeling rather disgusted, we quickly found another place for breakfast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE VILLAGE PANCAKE HOUSE! This place is much nicer than the diner and No Staff were seen Smoking!! Good Luck Agawam!! We're going to the Village Pancake House!! read more

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 (so. MANY. PIES). 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. read more

An iconic classic, all-American diner in the North Shore. If you're looking for some down to Earth, classic Americana food, I would recommend coming here. The pancakes were fluffy, and just right. The Vermont maple syrup was the perfect pairing. The service was wonderful, our coffee cups didn't stop flowing. The eggs and toast were also just right. read more

What a great diner! Great food and atmosphere. Food comes out fast and is excellent. Bacon cheeseburger was great and hit the spot. They know how to make crispy bacon properly which many places aren't able to. Meatball sub took top marks with my wife. Fries cooked perfectly. The pies are homemade and out of this world. Coconut cream, chocolate cream and cherry were all top tier. Great coffee. They do diner food and they do it well. Other reviews complain about the food being standard. Really? THATS WHAT DINER FOOD IS!!! If you're looking for filet mignon, then keep driving down to Boston. Atmosphere is cozy and warm in this original diner from 1940. Clean and comfortable. Do yourself a a favor and try this place and you'll be heading there frequently when craving some great comfort food served by nice people. Can't wait to try breakfast, which is served all day BTW. read more

Now is the time to visit the Agawam, bring cash $. Search no more for coffee and pie and classic diner food. Consistently churning out grub for over 50 years. I have been here many times growing up not far from here. "I've been coming (off/on) to the Agawam since I was old enough to drive". Pies come in two crust, one crust, cream pies, fruit pies, apple, blueberry, lemon meringue, Boston Creme which really isn't "pie", cherry, pecan, and anything seasonal. Pies are consistently delicious. Breakfasts, chowders, soups, sandwiches, burgers, dinners, L&O, special plate of the day, seafood. Did I mention the pie? We split a clam plate, which was o.k., have I had better? Yes, but this was good. Service was good. The Agawam is a N. Shore fav., prices are very reasonable, bring CASH. read more

I've never had any of the problems I see people writing about here. NO roaches, don't even think I've ever seen a fly or ant. Regarding the cash only, they have an ATM. There are other restaurants in the area that are far more expensive that are cash only such as Choates and Farnhams, and last I knew, Agawam was also cash only. This isn't something that just the VPH does. I love the ambiance. This is a true colonial house built in 1660 and always feels homey. I usually get breakfast and am a fan of their scrambled eggs. TRUE scrambled eggs that are light and fluffy. Not fried and then cut up or folded over into a square like McD's. Huge omelets. They also have an early bird breakfast menu with good choices, good prices until 11:00. I've tried different options and haven't had anything I didn't like. Good coffee too! I usually have to have decaf and theirs is good, but one time I forgot to specify decaf. I tried the regular coffee and had no issues. It was very good! Most of all, the staff! The owner is always there. She is the lovely lady that greets and seats everyone. If you ever experience an issue or have a question, do not hesitate to talk to her. She is very approachable.

They have so many pastry options, as well as breakfast sandwiches, but I really had eyes only for the biscuits. Also tried the cheddar scallion biscuit - amazing. I'm running out of adjectives to describe how good these were. The key for super flaky, tender biscuits is using very, very cold butter and not mixing the dough too much.

Great price and food. It is busy often and you'll need to wait to be seated. The portions of the dinner specials are great for the price. I wish all of the meals were like that. read more

The waitress were rude! I told her I don't like butter on my bread and she said "oh well". She never changed the bread. The food is alright. But I would not go back there again. read more

So I didn't bring my wallet but I had my wife so everything should be okay. I was a little groggy from the procedure but we sat down and split an eggs benedict cooked perfectly and the French toast. Served up quickly with a smile. We talked to the people to our left and right and enjoyed our breakfast and that's when the bill came. Very reasonable in price. I handed it to my wife and she says well I didn't bring my pocketbook. You always have your wallet. I looked at her and said I didn't bring my wallet because I didn't want to leave it in the hospital. We said uh oh. This has never happened to us before so we asked what I think is the owner and explained our situation. She just looked at us and said never mind breakfast is on me. Who does that? Anyway, I grabbed the bill and we left laughing about our stupidity. On the way home grab day. Thank you card at CVS and wrote a check out and sent it to the diner. I never thought of the diner again until I saw an advertisement for it and said I have to go give it a review. Not only is it great food, not only is it great service, not only is it a wonderful retro place, but the owner is one of a kind. By the way, I paid much more than the bill with a little note. That said, please pay it forward. Love love love this place and haven't back since.

Newburyport is such a charming little town, and this cozy diner fits perfectly with its friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The food tastes like it came straight out of somebody's grandmother's kitchen homemade, comforting, and served in portions that clearly don't believe in dieting. The steak tips were juicy, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the home fries were crispy and flavorful, and that Eggs Benedict had enough delicious hollandaise sauce to make me consider drinking the rest with a straw! A special thank-you to our server, Katherine, who was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Great service can make a good meal even better, and Katherine definitely did that for us. Amazing homemade-style cooking, generous portions, wonderful service, and the perfect stop while enjoying the beautiful little town of Newburyport. Come hungry very hungry!
