The Friday morning breakfast I didn't know I needed. Thought I had a 7:00 am session at SweatHouz... turns out it was 8:15. So I hopped on Yelp and found this tiny counter‑style spot with an open grill and super friendly service. Sausage, egg & cheese on a roll, crispy hash browns, and a bottomless cup of coffee. I've driven by this place for years and never stopped -- now it's officially in the rotation for great local breakfast. read more

This was such an adorable little diner with super friendly and attentive staff! I came here with a friend on a cold Saturday morning and we were seated immediately. I get the sense this place doesn't get as busy since it's a bit out of the city? We both got breakfast combos, where you can choose between French toast and pancakes, select your choice of meat, decide the preparation of your eggs, and pick between hash browns/home fries and toast. The pancakes came shaped like Mickey Mouse, which was too cute! I also subbed out chocolate chip pancakes for the regular pancakes, which was great. I would definitely come back here! It's a small, local place that is very welcoming and is serving classic breakfast plates. read more

Love this little diner. Counter style place friendly service, good food, welcoming place. Felt like we had been going there forever! read more

A diner atmosphere with basic American breakfast staples and an inexpensive vibe. The two-person Memorial Day staff handled the cooking, the service, and the register, and somehow stayed on top of the 20 people in the restaurant with timely, trained service. We ordered omelets, which came in at just $10 each before tax, and were accompanied by hash browns or home fries, and two slices of toast. Everything lacked salt. You'll get what you expect, which might be perfect. read more

Great little greasy spoon for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, with us favoring the former two. Atmosphere/Ambience: unassuming 80s-style diner. Wonderful step back in time. Almost all bar seating with 70s-80s style stools and a few two person high-tops. Lots of photos of regular customers, sponsored youth sports teams, and celebrities who've visited. Tons of laminated pics of food and chalk/white board style listing of items. Service: Quick. Actually very quick. Sometimes are some barking of orders and is a fast-paced show to see. They definitely have their method and it works. Very customer-friendly. Lots of people and local blue collar workers showing up for pick-up, plenty of first-name basis customers. Food: Unassuming and just good. It's what you'd want from a diner. Not a hipster nuevo take on a diner. Just classic. The breakfast combos are great. The omelets nice. Food sometimes not giant portions but the prices are low! Coffee is fine. Price: Also stuck in a cheaper (simpler?) time. A big draw when considering what you get for the mulah. Tend to come back fairly regularly. It services its purpose! read more

Chestnut Hill Restaurant - Three egg meal with side of bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

I've lived in the Chestnut Hill area my entire life and finally decided to try the place I've been eyeing on Hammond. Came here with a friend on a Sunday morning for brunch, and we both ordered the breakfast combos. Mine came with pancakes, eggs of choice, bacon, and hashbrowns. Hers came with the same and additional French toast. The food was just okay. The bacon and hashbrowns were perfect. Pancakes were tasty but unevenly cooked, eggs were a bit stringy. I ordered a Vanilla iced coffee with it and it didn't taste too great, I didn't finish it. I did notice something off putting, however. The Tobasco hot sauce on the table was a YEAR past the expiration date... seeing things like that make me question the quality and freshness of the food. The service was not great either. The waitress seemed impatient and not eager to make special requests. The food came out quickly though, and we were out the door within 30 minutes. read more

Cute little breakfast spot. The service was very good and personable. The food was okay though, more like a 3.5 experience. Diners are my fav but I have had better food. The menu was very basic. The overall taste was also average. read more

Stumbled upon this place and it's a great mom and pop diner. Came on a Sunday morning and magically it wasn't hectic so we were able to sit at the counter. Everyone was friendly, ordering was a breeze. Ambiance was a no frills , simple, mom and pop spot which felt good to be honest. The food was great! I ordered the french toast combo. The French toast was cooked perfect and so was my scrambled eggs with cheese and home fries with onions. I would pass up on the orange juice next time though. read more

It was real nice the staff was so kind and the place is small but cozy I really liked the feeling with dinning in there

One my favorite places to get French toast, amazing diner with fast service. You can not go wrong, consistently great every time!

Best breakfast or lunch spot in Brookline/Newton, the women who work there all so truly amazing and make sure to take the time to get to know you and will be sure to remember your name before you remember there's. The food is incredible. I can't recommend this place anymore. read more

This is a classic no frills little hole in the wall diner spot, with a huge menu. They have some Asian food as well as all the usual American diner stuff that you would expect for such as burgers, sandwiches, soup, etc. The ladies serving us were nice and prompt, we were able to get in and out on our lunch break with no problem. read more

Still as delicious as ever. Prices went up due to inflation (oof), but their food is still high quality. Omelette is absolutely delicious with hash browns. Coffee is well brewed. Staff are friendly and know most people by name - as always. read more

Laughably small lunch special sandwiches, $4 iced tea that was as weak as it could be brewed. No refills. The fries were unseasoned, the home fries were completely unseasoned and bland. The bacon was paper thin. Communication was a bit of an issue, as the one lady didn't speak English and my French is terrible. She also seemed put off when anything was requested. One of the ladies was very nice, but they seemed overwhelmed with only three pairs of customers in the restaurant when our small group sat down. Overall, I have trouble believing all of these reviews are based on the food or the service. The three of us are going to go get some lunch after the tiny portions of bland food and terrible, yet expensive tea that we had. read more

Solid diner food, and a surprisingly expansive menu that includes many different types of food. I came here for breakfast and got a combo that was two cinnamon apple pancakes, eggs (scrambled) with cheese (American) and bacon. I also got a toastes plain bagel to make my own breakfast sandwich, and a banana bubble tea. The bubble tea was more like a smoothie with boba than a traditional bubble tea. Much thicker and colder (more ice blended in), but it was delicious. If I were to order the drink again I'd get it without the boba, as the coldness hardens the boba and makes them harder to chew. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The prices were average, except for the bubble tea which I thought was on the cheaper side ($5.50) compared to bubble tea shops where it's usually over $7 now. Would recommend if you are in the area. I don't live closeby, but I can tell from the people that came in that's it is a spot that has a lot of regulars. read more

Great local diner that I have been going to since high school. Their service is quick and friendly. The food is always high quality and reasonably priced when we go. Typically go to is eggs with bacon and hash browns. The last time we were there we changed it up and got some French toast. read more

The food is the best. It's busy on weekends but worth the wait. Can't recommend enough.

There is NO wheelchair accessible seating, contrary to what some web listings. A wasted effort for us.

Chestnut Hill Restaurant - #4 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Was exactly what I was expecting, but still I was hoping for just a little bit more. Feels like a great budget-friendly diner experience that I would go for breakfast but perhaps not lunch. I was the only one here around 2:00, and it appears they were training a new server, so I'll go easy on her, but I requested the lunch pastrami (listed as $6.75) and got a small pastrami sub with a side of fries, but my bill came out to $10.25. Service was friendly though, and I'll chalk it up to first-timers. Sandwich was solid, but she did not know what a pastrami sandwich typically consists of (neither do I though, so I just listed off stuff I liked and she put it on my sandwich). read more

This is a quick, inexpensive, and high quality little hole in the wall. The waitress helped us right away and was extremely accommodating and helpful. She offered to give us more hot water for our teas, which was really sweet of her. My omelet was about 6 bucks with cheese and bacon and it was honestly one of the best omelets I've ever had. It came with toast and the best hashbrowns I've ever had in my life. Honestly, I would go back just for the hashbrowns. My boyfriend got an egg, bacon, toast, and hashbrowns for like 4 bucks. Only downside: parking is kind of annoying, but that's a given for basically everywhere in Boston. read more

I'm about 13 years late on this review as I've been coming here since the 6th grade. Not sure why it says it's closed on Sundays but it's definitely open! The gf ordered two eggs over easy with sausage and I ordered three scrambled eggs with bacon and corned beef hash. All of these came with your choice of toast and potatoes or hash browns. There's really not much to say except that the service and food here is superb. The portions ate perfect and the food generally comes out in 10 minutes or less. This is by far my favorite brunch/diner spot. The bill came out to 15 bucks, which is well worth it. It's safe to say I always leave this place full and satisfied! read more

One of my favorite little local spots to grab breakfast. Great menu with lots of delicious items. My favorites are the pancakes and a few of the omelettes. The owner, Lynn, is very warm and friendly as is everybody who works there. It has a nice crew of regulars who frequent there. It's definitely one of my go-to spots. Easy parking. Everybody knows your name there. It's a hidden gem in the area. read more

I have been here a number of times because I like the food and service. Very friendly and quick service. Pastrami was delicious surprisingly. The potatoes are real and tasty. There are a number of options on the menu. The place is quaint and small so there are not any booths just bar seats and a couple of bar tables but I have never had to wait and it is still quite comfortable for a quick bite. read more

Wonderful place. Not a lot of seating but the food is outstanding and inexpensive. The staff are delightful and very helpful.
