Oh my God, they're beef stew is tender and delicious. Just the right amount of food. Came with one slice of Italian bread. Our order came out fairly fast, which I was impressed by how busy they actually were. Kelly was awesome. We shall return. Happy as a clam. read more

Found this place on Yelp and checked it out. I was not disappointed . I ordered a hot chocolate with whipped cream to start (was cold outside) and got the Hot Vegetable wrap with a side salad. Good portion of both and they were so good. The salad was crispy and had purple cabbage which is a favorite. The place itself is very vintage and cool. They also have a full bar for drinks and amazing house made pies. Prices are very reasonable and our waitress Naomi really made the experience. She is pure sunshine and joy. She is a real asset to the place. I highly recommend it for a quick bite or family gathering. read more

The wait at Jake's down the road was too long so we checked out Bluebonnet. This diner has a huge parking lot and plenty of seating. Ordered three dishes and different drinks. The Reuben, spicy fries, and onion rings were great. Super friendly waitress in a casual setting.. A classic diner that's been around for decades. Our first time checking it out but we will be back. One issue was that this place has several doors. We went in through the side door and several workers just ignored us while we stood there for 5 minutes. read more

Seeing as most reviews are favorable, and I believe that errors can be fixed, I visited again on Tuesday, this week. As soon as I stepped inside, once again that musty sour smell hit me. I couldn't help it. I very quietly asked one of the waitstaff when they last cleaned their carpets. They told me they have worked there for years, and can't remember it happening. Likely the source. Anyhow, I got eggs Benedict again. Good service, swift, friendly, and polite, an OK breakfast with typical diner coffee. But..,darn it. Here it comes. As I sat there, a server came up and literally right in front of me, reached under the counter and pulled out a plastic container which had raisins in it. They looked old and dry, but I can't be 100% certain, to be fair. He took off the lid, and then reached into the smallish plastic container, with his BARE hands, and put a handful in a small bowl, put the container down, wiped his nose with his hand, closed the container, put it way, and went on his way. No gloves, no spoon, just his bare hands. So much for 2nd chances. Sorry, but food safety is simply not high on the list here. I won't give it a third chance. read more

Bluebonnet Diner is your typical small - town diner. Their food is basic but delicious. There's something there for everyone. Their service is exactly what you'd expect from a popular diner. I recommend the Bluebonnet without reservations. read more

The Blue Bonnet is always the go to place for me and my family! Everything we've tried so far has been delicious, including the homemade baked goods and coffee. My personal favorite is the cinnamon swirl pancakes with local maple syrup and they serve breakfast all day! The atmosphere is family friendly, there's even a train that circles the dining room area for the kids to see and when you're leaving you can blow the whistle! The waitresses are very nice, especially a certain few we always ask for :) The prices are fair and the portions are pretty big. There's also a bar area with a TV and a banquet hall for events. Best diner in town! read more

Did not enjoy a recent lunch here at all. Our club sandwiches at close to $20 each were sad and unappetizing with rubbery bread, unripe tomatoes, limp lettuce and undercooked bacon. Accompanying fries were cold and soggy. Service was not especially friendly and space around us seemed tired and dusty. No interest in returning. read more

Stopped in this past Friday. Easy to find, plenty of parking, and spacious inside. An iconic diner. Was seated in Tammy's section, and she was great...friendly, knowledgable, checking on me several times. In answer to my question about whether the corn-beef hash was homemade, she indicated it was, except when they occassionally run out, in which case they do use the canned version as a backup. Maybe next time on the CBH, but since it was Friday afternoon, I opted for the fried haddock w 2 sides (for $17.99). Tammy indicated the fish was very fresh, and that the fish & chips on the regular menu w 2 sides for $15.99 used frozen fillets. Food came fast. Fries were nice and hot and very good. The cole slaw, for me, was good, but could've been drained a bit. Kind of watery (see pix). All three pieces of fried haddock presented well, but all three had a distinct ammonia taste. My stomach is made of cast iron, so I ate them w/o mentioning it to Tammy. The tartar sauce helped mask the taste. I probably should have mentioned it. Overall, I was hoping for better, especially for the price. If I'm in the area again, will try the CBH. read more

I can truly say that it is an excellent place for breakfast and lunch having been a patron many times. I always get their ham and Swiss omelette in the morning. For lunch they have a varied menu with specials that is always excellent and I love their side Waldorf salad. read more

Just had breakfast at the Bluebonnet Diner for the first time and it was great. Fantasti, friendly servic, home town atmosphere and delicious food. So many choices on the men. Our waitress was attentive and kin. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quality of food. Highly recommend. read more

The Bluebonnet Diner has a wide range of items on their menu. There is a lot of old fashion home made meals and great desserts namely Grape-nut Pudding. That is if you have room after your generous meal. The service is very friendly and attentive. read more

Being returning to this place since I can remember in Christmas, my top choices were the Lobster Roll and the Lemon Meringue, I came by a couple days ago in October and they didn't have any. Loved the train going in circles around the dinner, brings so many memories. I tried the Philly Cheesesteak and the Montecristo sandwich, loved the Philly one, steaks amazing, cheese great, peppers very well done. The Montecristo for my surprise lacked some flavor. But it was good. Need to come back again for my lobster roll. Service and ambiance are great. read more

After walking in, we were greeted by a very nasty woman who told us it would be a couple minutes wait and asked if we were going to stay. After a few minutes, she abruptly mumbled that our table was "in the middle" while talking to another employee. When we asked her to clarify, she snapped "it's in the middle, it's the only one open," in an annoyed tone. After passing four open tables, we chose one ourselves and were met with a rude and impatient server, who didn't bother greeting us and instead just asked, "what do you want?" when she came to take our order. The only staff member with a good attitude was the young man who ran us drinks and menus after we were seated. The food was standard diner fare, nothing special and certainly not good enough to make up for the rude, unprofessional staff. read more

Great place, everything you want in a diner. We had eggs over easy, toast, bacon, and home fries, classic. Everything was great, particularly the home fries. Great server. Will go back at our next opportunity. read more

Skip the trendy places. For a good solid breakfast, look no further. My over easy eggs were perfectly cooked. The home fries were made with fresh potatoes, not frozen. The buttered raisin toast was sweet, cinannamony deliciousness. I didn't think I could eat it all but I did. Friendly prompt service with a smile. Cosy. No frills. Toot the train horn on the way out! read more

If anyone asks me to pick where to meet for lunch, I pick Bluebonnet 98% of the time. It's good old fashioned diner food - nothing too fancy, but hearty and delicious. The staff is the best - I know most of them by name. They are the right amount of attentive, but leave you to enjoy your meal and conversations. It is also a place where it is easy to park - something that is getting more rare in this area. read more

Really disappointed in a recent experience to this establishment. We used to go as a family all the time. Prices are very high for diner fare and food was okay. Many of the pie options were unavailable at peak hours. Felt like we were being rushed out as soon as we sat down, we weren't even greeted by our server. Not sure if we will be back. read more

Lost in western mass and stumbled across this spot. Everyone loves a good diner so I had to try it. I ordered a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage links, bacon, and a side of home fries. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, the bacon limp and under cooked, the sausage links flavorless, and eggs lacked much flavor as well and the cheese I requested not even mixed in. The food was okay, but what I still find hard to swallow is the up-charges. I was charged 1.79 extra for having the "real" syrup versus the "Kraft" syrup. Are you kidding?!?! $1.79 for a tablespoon of syrup? I was also charged nearly $1 for a slice of cheese on my eggs, which wasn't even stirred into the eggs. The server was decent, the ambiance typical, but not sure I'd go back to be nickel and dimed over syrup and cheese, if you're going to charge for things a la carte like this you better be the best, this spot is not, a bit outrageous to be honest. Basic at best. read more

We ate at the diner recently because friends had recommended it. We thought it was very quaint and had that neat diner feel with the train going around above. That's cool especially for children. My wife and I both had the fried fish. We thought it was kind of mediocre. We have had worse but usually had better at other restaurants. The diner wasn't particularly busy when we were dining there but my wife and I who are big water drinkers found that the waitress didn't check in very often to see if we needed or wanted anything. To be honest, we found our waitress whose name I can't recall to be a bit of a wise guy with something of an edge to her that you usually don't show to your patrons in a restaurant (maybe she was having an off day). Overall, I don't recommend the Bluebonnet diner. read more

This is a great classic diner. We enjoyed the train theme (and toy train circling the diner overhead). When we left my daughter pulled the authentic train whistle at the entrance as their traditional sign we enjoyed their service! That was fun too. The hospitality of our waitress was fantastic--sincerely kind and very family-oriented. We all enjoyed our meals (spaghetti and meatballs, broiled haddock, and pierogies with kielbasa). Everything had a home cooked taste to it. I was very happy to get homemade mashed turnips, not something you typically get at a diner. We will definitely return when visiting the area again! read more

What a great place. My husband and I usually come for breakfast. I've never had a bad breakfast at the Bluebonnet! Pancakes are my fav, sausage and cheddar omelette my second fav. We stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner today. I had the meatloaf dinner. Well, they knocked it out of the park. Absolutely delicious. Friendly servers, love the vintage feel of the place. Great vibe :) read more

Waitress literally locked door in front of us as we were approaching at 1:45. They close at 2:00, but it's a diner. We could have gotten order to go, or they could say they close at 1:30 and saved us the trouble of going out of our wat to go there at all! read more

The first thing that comes to mind is WOW ! If you are looking for fantastic home style cooking and desserts that at a whole new level of yummy, do yourself a favor and make the trip. Another thing that I must comment on is the wait staff, they are some of the most friendly and helpful people you will ever encounter. Thank you for wonderful food and exceptional service. read more

Best fried chicken for miles and miles. Really good! (Broasted). I've only had breakfast there once, and the food was typical diner food--too much grease. BUT 5 stars for broasted chicken (and I have southern roots) read more

Some things I really liked here, others I think were okay. For example the chocolate eclair and the butterfly shrimp were great. But the chicken and waffles not so much. read more

This place is just a throwback classic with some food that absolutely slaps! we stopped by while passing through town and everyone had a different dish and we all really enjoyed it. ingredients and prep were all top notch. Our sever, Tammy, provided the best table service I have experienced in many years. The dessert selections are a mix of what you would normally expect from a diner, and some old school jams you just don't see anymore. very happy and will be going back! read more

Great place! Such a nice, quaint spot with wonderful servers, some of whom have been working their upwards of 15 years--and they remember your face! The pancakes are my favorite part. Perfectly done and not so rich they make you feel ill afterwards. read more

Came here for some breakfast right before they closed. They nailed their eggs over medium, whole wheat toast and bacon with home fries. Friendly and timely staff. read more

The new menu has eliminated the vegetables as side dishes completely, and the prices are now that of a five star restaurant rather than a diner. I used to be able to have a relatively low carb meal by having a piece of fried fish, or some broasted chicken, but with green beans and peas instead of some sort of starch, all for a reasonable price. However, now all of their side dishes are either a form of potato, or bread (coleslaw and cottage cheese don't count), and on top of that, I have to pay top dollar for the privilege. This will have been my last meal at the Bluebonnet. read more

Stopped here for lunch and ordered sandwiches, which were delicious. I had the 'grilled cheese and tuna club' which was a lovely marriage of tuna melt meets club sandwich. My date ordered the 'ham and cheese club.' Both came with a nice portion of not greasy fries and the obligatory dill pickle spear. My date raved about the coleslaw, which was too sweet for my taste. The menu offers an impressive variety of comfort food, seafood, salads, soups, sandwiches and entrees, in addition to a nice dessert selection including homemade pies. But we were too full to indulge. Maybe next time.... read more

Just what I need - breakfast all day! I went in here to get something to go and the person who took my order was extra nice and helped me figure out what the dishes were called. I ordered a two egg scramble with veggies and home fries on sour dough toast. Absolutely delicious. Would recommend. Although I have to wonder why any business is still using Styrofoam to deliver products. Please use something more environmental. read more

Absolutely delighted by our visit! My grandfather turned 90 and he loves this place so this was where he wanted to be for his 90th bday so we had everyone meet here. The servers were TOP NOTCH!! They were fast and so kind and caring!! At one point my grandfather became overwhelmed and tried to sneak out of his own party. One of your servers noticed this and not only calmed him down with a hug but offered him a hot cocoa from the menu which was EXACTLY what he needed! He sat down again and enjoyed his party! We didn't even have reservations and there was almost 15 of us. Absolutely wonderful hometown Diner that WILL MAKE YOU FEEL RIGHT AT HOME!! I'd give ten stars if I could!! Thank you!! read more

Recently got a 4 piece chicken dinner carry out. Once home my wife asked if i got it from a high school cafeteria all pieces were scraggily and small and 2 of which were insultingly small. Being charged 21 dollars for this poor excuse for a serving just assured they lost 2 customers from greenfield read more

Diner food should be part comfort food like a hearty meatloaf...part artery clogging like a great cheeseburger...part "I haven't seen that in a restaurant since I was a kid" desserts...and part food not "popular" in the last 3 decades yet still awesomely good like liver & onions or fried bologna sandwiches. It should NEVER be expensive! We stopped going pre-pandemic when our bill was over $70 (not including top) for 2 sandwiches, a kids meal, drinks and simple desserts. Note I said PRE-pandemic. Still the optimistic fool that I am, I pulled up a menu today and thought I might grab a bite. Nope! Yikes! Pandemic recovery or not its just too expensive for decidedly meh food! In short, the food is average overall. Some items are really good while others are bland and made worse by being covered in some came-in-a-bag gravy. The atmosphere is neither here nor there. Breakfast has always been good I will give you that. I really want to like the diner again but I just can't. The food isn't that great and the prices are nuts. And yes...I've worked in restaurants..really good ones! Calling it as it is! read more

My wife and I look forward to stopping here the next morning after we go to mgm. The o letters are really good and the servers are very friendly. The menu has a little bit of everything. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in your hometown diner! read more

We were a group of 14 family members, in town for a wedding. We were extremely well treated when we entered the diner asking if they could accommodate such a large group at one table. Within ten minutes, we were seated in an almost private room, looking over an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. Everyone was delighted with their choices; the waitress was superb, putting up with so many and with extraordinary patience as some changes their orders and asked questions. All with a big smile and generous spirit. The food arrived in good order, especially considering our large number, and it was spot on diner delicious. It added to our feeling of well being and celebration on the family getaway weekend. So happy to have found this delightful spot. read more
