Always on the search for a rarified gourmet burget, but sometimes the classic flat top diner style just slaps! We lucked out and grabbed 6 of 10 counter stools. Lots of folks grabbing takeout at the window or delivered to the car. My burger on a griddled bun, juicy with everything ( pickle relish, sliced pickles, ketchup, raw onion, lettuce, tomato and white american) hit the spot. read more

Walked in with my senior service dog and was told flatly "no dogs" -- no vest? Then apparently no dog. For the record: under the ADA (and Massachusetts law, which follows it), a business can ask exactly two questions -- is this a service animal required due to a disability, and what task is it trained to perform. That's it. No vest, no ID card, no paperwork required, full stop. I said as much, was met with attitude, stepped out to keep the peace, came back in with documentation anyway (which I didn't legally owe him), and got a passive-aggressive "well you could've shown me that at the beginning" -- followed by a genuinely bizarre stare-down over the counter. Charming. Then, while waiting on my order, I made the mistake of taking a video of the (admittedly cute) interior -- 100-year-old diner car, hard not to want a keepsake -- and got yelled at for filming, with a pointed accusation that my brother outside was "also filming," said like it was a crime. Meanwhile this place has an active social media presence built on customers doing exactly that. You can't crowdsource your Instagram content and then treat a phone camera like a weapon. Oh, and the hot dog itself: $5 for a boiled dog on white bread, no toasting, no char, nothing. A sad little snack to cap off a genuinely unpleasant interaction. The building has real history. The guy behind the counter does not deserve it. read more

Really disappointing experience. For a business in the hospitality industry, the owner was surprisingly inhospitable -- he confronted my brother about me recording video outside, which felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Not the kind of customer interaction you'd expect. On top of that, the food didn't hold up either. $5 for a boiled hot dog on plain white bread is a hard sell -- no real char, no toasted bun, nothing that felt worth the price. Won't be back. read more

Casey's Diner - Sad pathetic - Diners Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

A cute little and historic diner but that's about it, very basic hot dogs, burgers and other easy food one can make at home. Extremely small inside, the "diner" is almost the size of a bathroom. The worst thing about Casey's is SOME of the employees, absolute miserable, sloppy, sluggish guys behind the counter. They act like they are working for free at a funeral home. Very angry, miserable employees at Casey's. Due to this, the size of the place and the miserable workers, I would spend my money elsewhere. read more

Had a great visit a few months back with my daughter. Returned for breakfast this past Saturday and the entire experience was lackluster. The food was just ok and served haphazardly bordering on carelessly and the service was pretty poor and unfriendly. I want to love this place and want it to thrive but they have work to do. read more

I agree with anyone who's mentioned unfriendly, unwelcoming service. Not a fan. It was a last resort for us. Pricey for a cash business where... well, you know how it is read more

Food was amazing and very tasty, the service and people were very good and helpful, and the ambiance was very old timey and fun. 10/10 would go here again! read more

Casey's is still 5 stars. Went for hot dogs and fries today. Ordered from the take out window. The hot dogs were ready in less than a minute. We had to wait on the fries. Had our choose or regular fries or crinkle cut. We chose Crinkle. Warning - they do not salt the fries. But will give you a salt shaker to salt them yourself. 4 dogs plus an order of fries was $23. read more

An old-timey historic institution with only a few bar stools for seating and active curbside takeout. Food was average, but atmosphere is fun for smaller parties (not good for groups). read more

Old School rail car diner with an endless Cuppa Joe and breakfast. But let's not talk eggs and such, it is the hot dogs they are known for! Whatever you want to put in it, they will. Use extra napkins. Elbow room, great staff and service, and the prices are reminiscent of the early 2000s. Quality does not suffer. Truly the old school diner feel and decor. America needs more places like this. read more

Holy prices Batman Stopped in Sunday and 3 young kids operating the place efficiently and no issues with them . But;, Now 4.25 for a dinky steamed hot dog... Keeps increasing beyond what it is worth. 10.50 for a cheeseburger melt on white bread. 14.75 and still hungry Now, any steamed hot dog done right is a good dog... this was but worth about 2.50 even with today's Biden inflation still lingering... Cheeseburger was decent as a melt vs a bun... Small burger size tho... not 10.50 values Probably fair at 7.00 to 7.50... not sure why exchanging the bun for 2 slices wonder cheap bread costs 2 bucks more.... Anyway.... As they say... don't like the food or prices... go elsewhere. My dog was 2 bites, burger 3-4 and my belly still hungry based on size. I assume as prices keep climbing, sales volumes decrease ... slippery slope of economics... easy to replicate by a competitor or hot dog food truck . read more

Best hot dogs ever super quaint wicked vibes super awesome amazing spectacular perfect

Unsanitary and disappointing experience. I hope we don't get sick! We visited this diner on a Sunday morning after church, drawn in by the good reviews and old-fashioned charm of the building. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. The only person working, a man named Jim, was unkempt and unwelcoming--almost as if he wished we had ordered at the window instead of sitting down. From the moment we entered, I had a bad feeling. Once you look past the vintage character, the lack of cleanliness is hard to ignore. The appliances looked decades old and poorly maintained, crumbs were scattered in the kitchen, and the overall state made me wonder about health code violations. Jim was also wearing blue gloves when we walked in--but they were already visibly dirty. Instead of changing them, he kept the same gloves on while cooking, plating food, and even handing us our silverware. After serving us, he sat down to drink his Dunkin' coffee with the same gloves still on. It was clear he had no regard for proper food-safety protocol, and those gloves weren't coming off anytime soon. The grill, where all the food is cooked, was dirty and greasy from the prior day. Our eggs tasted overwhelmingly of burnt grease, and I even watched Jim scrape bits off the grill and scoop them from the grease trap onto my plate--absolutely unacceptable. The corned beef hash was undercooked and cold in the middle, with a gelatinous, unappetizing texture. Even the coffee was bad--lukewarm, acidic, and seemingly reheated from the day before. To make matters worse, Jim himself was drinking Dunkin', which said enough about his confidence in the coffee being served. For four eggs, one side of corned beef hash, and two coffees, the bill came to $27. We hardly touched the food. This place is unsanitary and unsafe, and I plan to report it to the local health inspector. I don't understand how it has positive reviews--it deserves no more than 2 stars at best. I strongly recommend avoiding it. read more

Everything just right. Cooked to perfection . Simply done which is the way dinner food should be .Everything seasoned just way should be. Casey's does all this. read more

The food isn't particularly great or cheap, but you mostly come here for the history. I was lucky enough to come in while they weren't busy so I was able to get a seat at the bar and chat with the people behind the bar. It was really cool to hear the story of Casey's Diner. The hotdogs are pretty good, but expensive and the burgers are good, but expensive. There seemed to be a lot of regulars that passed through while I was there and I don't get it. read more

Had delivery via Door Dash. Cannot believe was not in a bag, only 2 containers held together with a rubber band. Also, for the price you would expect"real" chicken and not processed. How can fries arrive still frozen? Do better! read more

Extremely grumpy men who work here but we love the place and the food. They would not grill the hot dog bun for my 90 year old dad. Remind them to change their gloves after handling the money and before preparing the food. Nice touch they deliver to the car. read more

This place is adorable - sat on the stools at the bar - ordered a hot dog & hamburger - both were so good. Service was top notch - had 3 young men at the helm Will definitely go back ! read more

DONT GO THERE!!! The worst food I have ever eaten. The eggs were not edible & the "cook" Jimmy never asked why I didn't touch my eggs. The bottom of the eggs had a brown crust. The bacon was over salty & cooked so well done it wasn't edible. They gave us coffee with no spoon to stir it. We had eggs,bacon, toast & coffee and it cost a whopping $26.00!!!! Now if the food was edible that wouldn't have been a bad price. Eggs came without out the toast and then bacon showed up. Everything came 10 minutes apart, not all at once. This place is a dump. read more

Family favorite of ours! Owner is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Best part of coming to spend time with my grandparents living in Natick was getting lunch from here. Still go every time I'm in the area and it hasn't changed. The historical nostalgia is probably the best part. The hot dogs are awesome and the burgers cooked to order! I'm lame and just get ketchup but my family loves the all-around dogs. Great pie selection to if you have room for dessert! read more

Casey's Diner - Diners Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

Mediocre food, the most unfriendly service I can recall having in a LONG time. Neither of the gents behind the counter said hello when I sat down, didn't ask if I was enjoying the food, and ignored me as I got up to leave. read more

Staff can be kind of rude. Food is expensive for what it is. Tastes good if you have the money to spend. Disappointed that the spirit of the diner seems like an excuse to charge way more. The menu does not have prices updated, some add ons are displayed as 50 cents but when you pay they tell you it is $2. Update the menu in good faith. Also, treat all customers with upmost respect. Experience can be hit or miss. Ups and downs but recently bad. read more

What can I say about a place that's been doing it for 100 years, egg salad sandwiches are stuffed and delicious, hot dogs are always on point, and the cheeseburgers are great... what you waiting for go get you sum!! read more

They could be better at serving people and not yelling at them and who only takes cash??

This place has history. The people coming here over and over have memories attached to this place. It's a little set up with limited seating and takeout option. If all this appeals to you, you can give it a try and decide for yourself whether you want to go back. If you are someone who wants to sit down comfortably with a chair and table in a medium to large place, if you are someone who wants the server to talk to you politely while taking the order or serving the food, if you are someone who likes to go through the menu and easily understand the menu options.....this place is not for you. I was expecting it to be a lot better after reading the reviews. But, I had a bad experience. Never going back. read more

This Natick institution always absolutely nails their bark-ey burgers cooked atop a cast-iron griddle with decades of seasoning infusing delicious flavor into the patty. They are also known for steamed hot dogs - somehow the dogs snap and the buns disappear like clouds into the bolus forming in your very happy mouth. Limited diner-style seating in the train car and outdoor tables. Very friendly service, but remember cash. read more

Casey's Diner - Double cheeseburger with lettuce tomato and mustard. - Diners Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

Been coming here for decades . Very small old school diner, 7-8 stools inside and a takeout window on the side . When busy it can get REALY tight ! Cash only .. service is quick have to wait a bit for burgers cooked to order onions in is the way to go ... place could use a good cleaning all around .. prices are getting a bit steep for what you get . Dogs are 4( steamed ) and burgers are 8 just too pricey... burger side they put on enough condiments hot dog side is a joke especially onions a few slivers ... read more

Just ok. Been coming here for years. The burgers are tasty. Dairy Queen up the road on 27 has much better dogs. Both are overpriced here. Other reviews are correct in pointing out sanitary conditions here-it might be clean but sure doesn't seem it. read more

My son said the food was mid. He had two dogs, they went a lil heavy with the mustard. I think it's a cool place that's been running for over 130 years!

If you love a local diner Casey's is for you. The food is made fresh rift in front of your eyes. The staff are friendly happy to suggest ways to accommodate your tastes. I came in thinking about a late breakfast but drooling from the smell of the juicy burgers on the grill. On the magnificent suggestion from Shannon I got a thick grilled cheese with a fried egg and burger on it. Wow! It hit the spot and made my day. The space is small, but I call it intimate. It's a small club car structure with an island counter so you sit directly next other patrons. You can chat if you'd like or just eat quietly and no one bothers you. I think that speaks volumes about the spot where everybody is welcome with no issue. I will be coming back. read more

Casey's is known for their steamed hotdogs served with mustard, relish, and chopped onions. If you know, you know to order them "all around"!

And the people who work there are always quick and very friendly read more

It has a cool, retro atmosphere, being set in a dining car and all. The food is pretty much what you'd expect from an old diner like this- fine, but a bit bland and/or greasy depending on the dish. The service is fine, too. Great spot for a low key bite and a selfie out front read more

Best god damn hot dogs anywhere. Snap when you bite into them with a nice soft steamed bun. Absolute perfection. Been going here 40 years and always perfect.
