Great little sandwich shop in Dedham. Very old school but is the real deal! Fantastic breakfast sandwich (my favorite is the linguisa) and you get to choose your bread (English muffin, croissant, bread). The owner is fantastic and welcomes everyone to his place. Worth it to swing by for a sandwich or for breakfast. read more

Great place! The Steak & Cheese was perfect. My ten yr old insisted that we must come back with the whole family!

Went here about a month ago on my lunch break, solid sandwich and good coffee. It also somewhat doubles as an old time drug store with news papers, candy and smokes. Cool vibe read more

Stop driving by, come right in! Incredible lime rickey, orange freeze, grilled cheese and meatball sub. George is kind and efficient. Affordable, delicious, and great service. It's clear why they've been in business since 1955. We will be back and bring our friends. Note: cash only but there's an ATM inside read more

Quick and friendly service along with one of the best breakfast sandwiches around! I got the spicy sausage and it cost less than $5.

George is a rockstar. We had the best steak and cheese. So glad we stumbled upon it. When in Dedham .... Go see George you won't be disappointed read more

Every neighborhood should have a Blue Jay's. I stopped by here to grab a sandwich when driving through Dedham, and so happy I found it! The owner was so pleasant, patient as I took my time deciding what I wanted, and made me a delicious classic tuna sandwich. This is a no frills type of place. Good food, good people and the type of place that will put a smile on your face just walking in read more

found this place for a quick breakfast sandwich and wow!!! it was one of the best I've had in a long time! love supporting local businesses, the owner is so sweet and it was also very well priced! will be coming back for a lunch sandwich soon. read more

I worked at Blue Jay in the summer of 1985, taking orders and making subs. The counter and food prep areas were always immaculate and George was like a well-oiled machine, cooking and cleaning up while chatting with customers. Such a happy surprise to see that the place is still going strong. I'll have to stop in the next time I'm in Dedham. Best wishes to you George! (I hope you remember me!) Kim read more

I worked in the area for several months. Blue Jay's became our regular lunch spot. Owner George is amazing. They put out great food in a homey, no frills but almost perfect place. When travel is part of your work... this is the kind of place that you hope you find. read more

I was in town for work and looked up the best rated lunch place in the area and this place came up and i'm so glad it did. I read the reviews and did not hesitate. I got a small steak and cheese with ketchup and mayo and it has been added to my top 3. I'm a big steak and cheese fan and eat it often, but this one was special. The meat was seasoned perfectly. Will definitely be back! read more

This place is fantastic. A little endearing time machine back Into the past. The owner is very kind, patient and clearly takes a lot of pride in maintaining this shoppe. Prices are fair, food is good and the atmosphere is great as well. Big fan read more

Very old school, which is not my usual preference. But after 20 years of living several blocks away, I dropped in for a takeout Italian sub because my usual places were closed. Just one older gentleman busily working the counter and grill. Despite the juggling, he was pleasant, attentive and efficient. My sub was better than most sub shops and very reasonable price (especially if you pay with cash not credit,). Peeking behind the counter to his food prep and cooking space, it looked neat and clean (even if the premises have a well-worn appearance.). read more

I like blue jays a lot. A classic and friendly breakfast and lunch spot that every neighborhood needs. My one criticism is that they really need to stock fresher tomatoes -- the quality of the tomatoes recently has honestly been poor. They or break a sandwich, especially in the summer. read more

It's now our new #1 breakfast spot ! Check it out everything is made from scratch and everything is FRESH !!! Thanks George! read more

George is the current, and sadly, the last of the family. Nice atmosphere, good food and good people. Highly recommend it if you're in the Boston area. read more

Blue Jay's - Blue Jays has been family owned and operated since 1929. Good food, nice atmosphere. We recommend trying it out. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Great service and good food. My wife and I had omelettes and shared a grilled blueberry muffin. That and a good cup of coffee was a great start to our day. read more

Great place! Owner operated which clearly shows through in the pride and quality of the food they serve. The menu is really extensive so pretty much everyone can find something they would want. The place has an old school retro feel with lots of old photos covering the walls. Could not recommend it more highly. read more

I stopped in while visiting family. The place was not busy as it was the holidays and a weekday so we did not have any issue with crowds on weekends. The breakfast was cooked in a reasonable time and the coffee was sent out right away. It was a really good cup of coffee, the eggs were over easy and cooked perfectly. Home fries and toast were top notch. All served hot and fresh and for quite a bit less than you pay most places. Decor is old school vintage small restaurant and very cozy. They also sell take and run snacks, subs, dinners and cigarettes and road maps for the savvy truck driving customers who are up on the place. One guy, George, does all the work but his sister was helping out when we were there. So if you want fast food, you will be antsy. Want a really good old school meal in an authentic old American restaurant? This place does it great. read more

Great restaurant for lunch. First time there but definitely will be back. Had the steak and cheese with fries and it was really good.

Great food and customer service. I usually call my breakfast order in because it's so busy. Thanks George! read more

Great food, great breakfast, but I waited 25 minutes to get an order in. During the morning the drivers from Restoration Hardware came in. Since there is only the one guy working at all times, I couldn't put in an order for 25 minutes. It would've been nice to get an apology for waiting so long or at least a small discount for the breakfast. That goes a long way. But if there is a number of people in there in the future I'll probably go to Dunkin Donuts. All in all the quality of the breakfast is great the lunch is pretty good too. Definitely not knocking the place, just think he needs to add one more employee to help out when things get to busy. read more

Awesome old school breakfast / lunch spot - don't let the outside appearance fool you - looks like a convenience store - great food - very reasonable prices read more

Great fast , friendly business! The atmosphere is old but makes you feel comfortable and at home. Big fan of the cold cuts!

I hope more people discover this place as I have recently. Instead of wasting your money on coffee from Dunkin Donuts why not support this little gem of a place that serves full breakfasts and everything you could ever order at a sub shop. "A family business since 1956" read more

You really should check this place out! It's a little old fashioned in decor and appearance, which I find kind of cool, but the food is really good and they have an extensive menu for breakfast and lunch! If you're looking for a great, old time breakfast or lunch spot, this is the place! Check it out! read more

Good food, nice family atmosphere. George is very nice and friendly. Highly recommend

I like this place. The staff is very friendly. The breakfasts I've had have all been solid. I look forward to their coffee every weekend. This is my go to breakfast spot when I'm looking for something quick or when I'm craving an orange freeze. read more

I stopped here on Saturday 3/23/19 after dropping off a car at a local repair shop my customer had recommended a different location that is now permanently closed .Blue Jay's happened to be the closest place to me at the time and considering I had a 2hr drive ahead of me I was in need of some grub the place looks old and outdated but DON'T judge this place on appearance because George produced one of the best steak and cheese subs that I have eaten I felt compelled to call George to congratulate him on make such an awesome sub this was my first time stopping here and it won't be my last thank you and keep up the great work I'll be coming back soon read more

This is the best sandwich in the area! I had the Turkey Breast and it was fresh and amazing. I highly recommend this establishment.

Friendly service, excellent sandwiches and a great old-timey feel. It's a great spot for a quick bite with an expansive menu.

Excellent sandwich and breakfast spot. Old school family owned neighborhood place. Too many choices to list. Reasonable prices and authentic. Owner/cook very friendly. Don't drive by drop in and grab a bite it is well worth it. read more

Great place for a quick lunch! Awesome soup, grilled cheese and turkey sub! Friendly staff as well! It's a must if you're in the area.

I've been going to the Blue Jay for 10 years. George, the owner, is a great guy. His food is solid. If the place is busy, it can be a bit slow (it's a one man show!). And the place is really basic on the inside. But you can't beat the food or the price. Oh, the chili is out of this world! Best I've ever had! read more

We went for breakfast on a Saturday and had wonderful omelettes. The staff are very friendly and made our visit perfect! We will be back.

The Blue Jay is a family owned and run business for over 50 years. It has an extensive sandwich menu with great prices. The awesome breakfast sandwiches and the best coffee in the area. It can get busy so if your doing takeout call ahead. read more
