Started eating before I took a pic
Corinne M.

Felt welcome as soon as I walked in! Busy Sunday morning but I was able to sit at the "bar" diner area and order the yummiest item I've never , spicy chourico with eggs and house potatoes!! The ladies were so sweet and the restaurant is cute and tiny but accommodating! Gives a vintage feel!

Chorizo Benedict

Just devoured another incredible breakfast at Bread & Butter Diner in Boylston! Huge props to Cindy, Chef Chris, & the crew for consistently bringing the heat. The hash bowl was a masterpiece - fresh shredded corn beef, over-easy eggs, & a hint of horseradish crema on top of perfectly cooked potatoes. And let's not forget the Portuguese sweet bread! We are huge fans of baked beans had to give them a try, & the crispy topping was the perfect touch Chourico & fruit parfait were the perfect finishing touches.

Corned Beef Hash - Bread & Butter Diner 9/2024
Vivian C.

The waitress told us that they would be on Chronicle soon, but having visited Bread & Butter Diner enroute to Tower Hill Botanical Garden, I can say, I knew them before they got famous! Since they had two tables outside to the side, in the shade, I popped my head in and asked if we could sit out there, and would we need to order inside first? Nope, she brought us menus and later our drinks, food and utensils. Being two light-weights, we ended up sharing a sandwich and a side and was fully satisfied. We picked the Bifana $14 (pan fried pork cutlet topped with a fried egg served with Portuguese gravy) off the lunch menu (11am-3pm), and a $5 side of hash Corned Beef) from their breakfast menu (6:30am till 3pm). With the option of French fries, chips, or pasta salad alongside the sandwich, we picked the pasta and were pleased. As we were with the juicy sandwich with its soft bread. The hash was more than the name, as the stringy corned beef looked like it would be tough, but was rather crispy in a delicious way, and dressed with egg and potatoes with a dash of vegetables. We'd definitely would be back if it wasn't so out of the way for us.

Hash

Decided to go to breakfast this morning only to be surprised we live near a Portuguese breakfast diner! Food - the hash was interesting, was more of an omelet mix with beef. The Portuguese Eggs Benedict was very tasty. The meat provided on the Benedict was the chef's take on Portuguese chourico, was a tad spicy but just enough for good flavor. Eggs and potato's were also done perfectly, no real issues there. Overall the food was decent and we'd like to try something else the next time we visit Service - friendly staff, we sat at the bar/counter and the waitress serving us was a champ with all the customers she had to handle. She was also very helpful in answering my questions about the dish since I'm familiar with Portuguese cuisine. Ambiance - cute little diner, didn't really get to see the seating area in the back with tables, but the counter/bar area was clean and decent. I'd say we will be back to try some other dishes and possibly come back for the bifana for lunch!

Cute little diner with great food and friendly service. Ann took wonderful care of us with a hearty brunch.

Menu board

The food. Amazing presentation along with exceptional taste and flavors. Quick entertaining service from Annie! She is engaging and full of joy! Love the old diner feel and the colorful menu board. Cash only. Breakfast and Lunch. Terrific, local place.

Clam chowder and French fries.
Idara L.

Stopped by Bread and Butter Diner today and it hit the spot--exactly what I needed during allergy season. I ordered the clam chowder and a side of French fries, and both were perfect. The chowder was warm, creamy, and full of flavor--soothing on a scratchy throat and comforting in every way. The fries were crispy and golden, the perfect side to round out the meal. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made it even better. Definitely coming back when I need a little comfort food and a break from the allergies!

Western omelet with potatoes and toasted sourdough bread and a piece of orange for garnish
Alana F.

While visiting the area we stopped in for breakfast, go check it out. We ordered the chicken and waffles which was very flavorful and enough for two people easy, the French toast and the Western omelet with onions, peppers, ham and cheddar cheese with a side of hashbrown potatoes and toast. The service was pleasant and helpful. We definitely plan to return. Remember they accept cash or Venmo only there. It reminded me of a local Waffle House with diner chairs and tables for families and groups.

Fried Chicken Sandwich with Pasta Salad

Bread and Butter Diner is a train car with a dining room attached . I ate at the bar. Learned all about Worcester Diners. Bread and Butter is Diner #586 . I had the fried chicken sandwich with pasta salad. Both were great. Chef Chris did an amazing job and server Annie was delightful.

Brand new diner, breakfast all day!

Guess who showed up in Boylston Massachusetts! On the honky-tonk 140 corridor? Former head chef at Amaia and the beloved, but defunct Fish Restaurant, and Wine bar drumroll please! Chef Bairos! Looking refreshed and as passionate as ever, he has emerged in this adorable little diner to do what he does best and loves the most - cook with heart and soul, and feed people. I talked to a couple of the very happy diners here, one of them had to jump over a heaping plate of fried chicken and waffles. It was so big! It was climbing Mount Everest chicken-ness. Her mom was feasting on gluten-free French toast, and was drooling, swooning and almost convulsed. Since he cracked away on my visit, I had to go for the lobster roll. His twist on lobster roll was totally ok in my book. A hint of herbs and country mustard, packed in the buttery toasted roll... mmm so good. I didn't go with the BLT lobster roll (both specials of the day), because I wanted to just have LOBSTAH. LOTS of meat. Reasonably priced at $20.00. He's just starting, and as we expect from Chef... he's going to kill it! For now, be UBER PATIENT. The place is small, he's only been open for a handful of days and he is working on nailing down the flow, sourcing his stuff and working on his old recipes and coming up with new ones. Expect longer hours (right now only Bfast and lunch Tues-Friday), after Labor Day, when he will start opening weekends. He looks forward to dinner, his traditional plated, 3 course upper scale meal. It will be interesting to see how he pulls it off in this minute space with big heart. The home made hash was a bit messy for me, but the flavor was there (I'm not a fan of green pepper and it had quite a bit), meaty and juicy. The lobster bisque was a tad salty, but I brought home and added some cream. Delicious. Server was really sweet, but a bit off. Then again, they are learning the dance. Soon the choreo will be a Riverdance production. No doubt in my mind! There WILL be growing pains. But we know his food. The guy has a magic touch, and a great palate. Can't wait to come back. I'm coming back for bifana next!!! AND CHICKEN AND WAFFLES! Yeah. I'll be back!

Portuguese Benedict over chourico and a Portuguese muffin
Mark M.

Stopped and ate twice on my way to and from Maine. Portuguese Benedict over chourico on a Portuguese muffin and the Corned Beef Hash Bowl were both excellent. Fresh coffee and attentive counter service made the place a delight. There is also a small dining room withNote cash or Venmo only (ATM in neighboring building).

When I got the text -went inside at the counter for pick up, the woman was not helpful. ( Rudely told me to find my tray by using my paper receipt. ) The drink bar was disorganized, a long line. The teen-ages in front took the lemonade, stopped and drank half a cup then refilled, their cup right there, thus holding up the long line. There was separate ice but the kids tipped the lemonade so plastic ice holder was slanted inside the holder. I noticed the drip bowl was overflowing and lemonade was spilled all over the counter. I proceeded outside to eat at the tables and chairs, but all 10 tables were full (some with just 2 people and 6 chairs. ) So I crossed to the other side with open 10 tables - two young girls told me to leave. A private party inside had 1/2 hour left. Yet, I noticed that not anyone was outside at all. They said the 10 blue umbrella space was paid for , even if not being used - so leave. The cafe could have used that lovely new blue umbrellas 10 extra outside seating area, (as cafe was extremely busy and weather was splendid. ) I retreated back to the cafe outside area, and stood up to eat. I noticed the concrete was broken, sticks everywhere and the umbrellas on this side were not secured well , thus blowing in the breeze. The nice private other side of the deck remained unoccupied with the extra -10 blue umbrellas at the tables closed off for the rest of the afternoon. Still closed and totally unoccupied even after the time was up. (The private party apparently choice to remain inside. ) Meanwhile, cafe side remained crowded. Food was expensive $16 for a salad. $4.25 for lavender lemonade. Not the Best experience. The view was lovely.

I had the walnut Crusted Spinach & Gruyere Chicken Roulade Bowl- which came with a generous serving of the chicken, Roasted Tomatoes, Toasted Herbed Pearl Couscous over Farm Greens with a Cider Vinaigrette. It was filling, but not too heavy (perfect)! Will definitely be back!

The star of the show is the sandwich selection, all on a choice of focaccia or seeded roll, with many including stracciatella, a thick, white, creamy, Buratta-like cheese. Almost every item in the store-- from meats to cheeses to drinks to candies and snacks-- is imported from Italy and you can taste the difference. This ain't your daddy's Boar's Head. -- Tutto: Tried on focaccia, with Mortadella, Soppressata, Capicola, Prosciutto, Provolone, Stracciatella Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Garden Greens. Very creamy cheese, almost mayoey in texture. It took some adjustment on my first try, but I got used to it quickly. Strong flavors overall. Very enjoyable. -- Matto: Tried (on two different visits) on a grilled seeded roll, this packed Prosciutto, Soppressata, Sharp Provolone, and Hot Cherry Peppers. Bold flavors from the coldcuts, sharp cheese, and perfectly toasted bread, all in the right proportions to enjoy every flavor and texture. This was spectacular and will be a repeat sandwich for many visits to come. Excellent sandwiches. Nice people. Easy ordering via Toast (they don't have a website). Limited hours-- weekday lunches only-- and hard to spot, but in the same parking lot as the convenience store. I'm not an authority on Italian sandwiches but I've had my fair share from the "name" places in and around Boston, and this unknown gem from the outer suburbs ranks right up there with them. Some may argue they charge Boston prices, but for Boston quality without the Boston hassle, well worth it. Solidly in my lunch rotation.

Positively nothing disappoints. Ever. I can make a dozen recommendations but truly no matter what you get it will not let you down or leave you hungry. Gets crazy for lunch and can be wild on the weekend for pizza but it's 10000000% worth the trouble to get here and the wait. Service is wonderful and if you have the time to sit in and have a meal, do try to. It's very small, very casual and feels like having the best lunch you ever had at your aunties house. As mentioned it's rarely quiet in there so take out is best overall. I recommend calling ahead for sliced deli meats or things like that as they really appreciate that. If you ever see the cherry cobbler in the fridge do not skip it - you'll regret that. Here's the inside tip - there is not a better Caesar salad with chicken this side of the Mississippi. Dead serious about that !!! They have my business for life and possibly beyond. I'll be haunting the place for arancini balls as a ghost.

Really no clue this was always a good place, but if I have to go out of the way to get this quality it's not worth it.
