This is a 3.5 for me. I got the quiche which came with a nice portion of fruit salad. The quiche had bacon, broccoli, onions and I think some ham. It was real tasty, and they brought me a quarter of the entire quiche. I mean it the thing had a right angle. Def enough for 2 to share. The staff were friendly and the service was wonderful. The only thing I did not like was the atmosphere. It's like a dressed up hospital caf. And Bright Yellow. nice prices though. read more

Do and Don'ts Do ask for Mary .. she rocks!! Do go for Breakfast but go early on weekends Do get the salads with chicken , or shrimp or whatever they are all good. Do get the beef stew....great stuff! Don't get the pancakes! Don't go late in the morning (after 8 on weekends) Don't sweat the missing star it is for not so good pancakes and bland ,wimpy home fries other than that the place is great! Don't pass it up read more

THE best breakfast location on the north shore. Hands down. If you're doubting this, you probably aren't realizing how no matter what day and time it is, this place is BUSY. I've come here for their breakfast sandwiches when I used to work at the CVS pharmacy down the street, or their omelettes (I'd make my own - mushroom, onions, sausage and broccoli), as well as their lunch dishes (the steak kabob salad is prime). Regardless of everything I've tried here, the corn beef hash here is essentially the best corn beef hash I've ever had. Any time I go to any other diner, I judge my hashes against the hash at Depot Diner, and nothing has compared. Expect a wait if you're coming here, but it is well worth it since the service is quick and friendly, the food comes out fast, and it is DELICIOUS. read more

Quite possibly the most Beverly location in Beverly outside of Nick's Roast Beef. You can't seriously call yourself a diner and not be able to make a decent side of home fries. The few times I've been here (or, more accurately, ordered take-out since no man should wait an hour to be seated for breakfast) I've been subjected to the culinary curiosities of undercooked home fries, raw red onion smothered all over my Eggs Benedict, and unremarkable pancakes. It's far too fussy to be a greasy spoon and too mediocre to be worth the wait. read more

Solid local breakfast joint! Sidenote: I've only been here for breakfast/brunch, not lunch! If you come on a Saturday or Sunday, be prepared to wait 20 minutes. The staff is friendly, and the service is great-your coffee will be refilled before you realize it. The omelettes are HUGE and packed with flavor and goodies; this is definitely something you can share. If you're on a budget, get the breakfast sandwich in all it's oozy, cheesy glory. Great for groups, kid-friendly, and if you're like me, you can laugh kind of loud without feeling bad. read more

I honestly really enjoy this very cute diner. The food is always really good (except for the pancakes, see Geoff M's review below), and the service is quick and very efficient. As others have mentioned, there is occasionally a wait for a table on the weekends, but it really is worth it. A great place for families and groups. I have also had their lunch, and it is very good. And, they accept credit cards. Honestly, they get a star for being (maybe) the only breakfast place in Beverly that does. read more

Thank you Depot Diner. Sometimes, I have a guest and wanna go out for breakfast. But the thing is that in Beverly, there were no diners till Depot came in few years ago. This place is awesome!! it's always crowded (this is a good sign in beverly!!) and once in a while, I would go with a friend to have a nice hot coffee with vege omelet for breakfast and just catch up. ambiance: it doesn't have your typical diner feel at all...my parents are big diner ppl and i used to go diners all the time in nyc. this place just feels like a typical restaurant. But the food is good and fresh so can't complain. read more

What the French, Toast!? How have I not reviewed my all-time favorite breakfast spot!? Jeez.. The reason I even thought to check was I was having a hankering for their egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on sesame bagel... yes, it's 9:15pm. Yes I already ate a late lunch at 4pm and a small dinner at 8pm. Yes I'm stuffed. None of those conventional, common-sensey things even enter the depotsphere when it comes to me and my breakfast sandwiches. This place makes my mouth water from 60 miles away (Worcester), and now 20 miles away (Medford) and no matter how many miles away, I will make time to make it there. Speaking of time, you won't spend too much in line, even on the busiest morning. Mayyyyyyybe the Saturday morning after Black Friday, but that's because all us Beverly kids are back in town and we all obviously know Depot Diner is the best local breakfast spot. You'll be seated by either an unnaturally tan man (owner?) or one of the sweet ladies practically jogging through the pretty generous dining space. Everything is clean, pretty new (not like Brothers' cafeteria-style outdated decor, I mean), and cozy. Then you'll look at the menu and once you come out of the swirling euphoria of overwhelming choices you can make a decision with the conviction that its going to knock your socks off. I've had omelets, scrambled eggs, but atop Mt. Delicious perches my beloved breakfast sandwich. Why am I so crazy about a stupid sandwich, you ask? The cheese is either cheddar or a cheddar blend, but it's generous and delicious. The egg is cooked just right and stays put on the bagel (seems simple but wait till you get one that slips out and then tell me this small note is no big deal). And the bagel is softer than fluff, grilled divinely, just buttery enough to be crisp and savory without making you think about how many miles you need to run later. The homefries are nothing to sneeze at/on either. They are awesome and cooked to order - as is everything here. Service with a smile, food you'd do unspeakable things for, minimal wait time and absolutely affordable prices. What's not to love?? read more

My husband and I were staying at the hotel across the street and came over here for breakfast. The service was beyond phenomenal from Colleen. She was pleasant and sweet. The food was delicious. Generous portions for a great price. read more

I really like the Depot Diner; at first, I wasn't quite sure about the lay-out, but when I saw how quickly the place filled up, I appreciated how they incorporated as much seating as possible. While it's not the Stone Soup in terms of charm, the Depot is more than adequate for a great breakfast, plus it's airy and has huge windows that let in that early morning glow--or afternoon sun. They have a huge menu with so many options it will make your head spin. They do a great Irish Benedict, and their hash is spot-on. They also have creative dishes that allow you to eat the huge portions without worrying about spilling your food over the side. Eggs & sausage or waffles & pancakes, every breakfast I've had here has been just the right start to the day. read more

Great sandwiches, brunch, etc. Been dozens of times and never disappointed. Nice family owned business that seems to really care for customers. Can be busy throughout the week which is testament to their great customer service read more

Here's what I like: The two eggs combo is great. Fluffy potatoes, not too greasy, eggs okay, french toast what french toast should be, with plenty of butter and sugar on top. Pretty good bacon, too. In general, the food is good, a cut above a standard diner. The staff is friendly and attentive. Here's the catch: I've waited an hour to be seated 2 out of the 3 times I've eaten here. Because of restaurant layout, people need to stand outside for the duration of the wait. Summary: If a long wait doesn't bother you, you can get a good breakfast here. Would I go back? Since food needs to be amazing for me to wait this long, I will probably skip this diner in the future. read more

This has to be the best place to go for breakfast. I mean I order a side of bacon, and while I was fully expecting the two strips, I got FIVE. FIVE strips of bacon. I've never been so excited for breakfast in my life. The service is incredibly fast and friendly. I've ordered a few different things here and they have all been really incredible. This has to be my favorite breakfast stop so far in beverly. I'm also very pleased with their coffee I'm kind of a coffee snob and I can drink this coffee with out pouring a ton of cream and sugar in it which is how I rate how good coffee is. Its Inexpensive, Quick, Delicious and with lots of options...you really can't ask for more. read more

Recent visits since my first review have knocked a star off of this place. The food is still good - but that's it, just "good". Now normally, the nice environment (a clean diner!?) yet still reasonable prices would hold a 4 for me. Unfortunately though, this place is just ridiculously busy, and I have waited every single time I've been there. Last time it was 30 minutes for 3 people. I will gladly wait 30 minutes for a great dinner. But when it's mid Sunday morning and I'm starving and need to start my day, it's frustrating and a waste of time to sit around waiting for a "good" omelet. read more

Everything was awesome. It was our first time there and we will be back. They give you plenty of food. It was good. The atmosphere was nice as well as our waitress. read more

See all

.Good Service, Clean, Bright environment, great menu. The food here is great for a diner, The Banana Pancakes were awesome. All the food was served fresh and hot. Definitely one of the best breakfast places in the area. read more

THE best place for breakfast/lunch in the North Shore, in my opinion. Lines tend to be long, but go quickly. They have little waiting area, but people will line up outside to wait to get food (rarely have I waited longer than 20 minutes even with a stretched line) Every time I decide to go elsewhere, I know the food will be worse. Fantastic staff. Fantastic food. Amazing selection and they're extremely efficient. I will always give 5 stars when I will go out of my way and drive past alternatives for a meal. This is one of those. I will drive WELL out of my way to go to Depot Diner AND wait out in the freezing cold with my family to eat here. read more

Ever been to a Greek diner and not seen a picture of the Acropolis? That's the Depot Diner in a nutshell. Everything is diner like here but with cool furnishings. The food is perfect almost all the time. I don't do breakfast as for some reason it always reminds me on being hungover... but the few b-fast items I have had have far exceeded that icky feeling and I liked them. Always look for Mary the waitress. She is there every minute and when she finishes her shift here she goes behind the building to work at the Garden City Pub... which is owed by the same people. read more

Ok, well my experience here was horable. The place was jam packed and loud as hell. I don't eat eggs, so I went with toast, bacon and hash browns. The hash was not crispy, it was mushy, the bacon was all pure fat, and the toast wasn't even really toasted, it was more like bread. Also, the drink sizes are very small. Maybe I'll try it again, but not anytime soon. read more

We came here for the first time. We were secretly cheating on our usual Beverly breakfast place. WOW, the food & staff were amazing. I have a feeling this will be our new go to breakfast place. This isn't greasy diner junk. You don't leave & hop in the car searching for Tums. The best part was the entire place singing happy birthday to our birthday boy. It was beyond kind of them. read more

Far and away the best brunch in the greater Boston area. We've tried them all, and after being disappointed with the competition for years, we finally discovered Depot. Ever since, we've been making the drive out to Beverly from Melrose every weekend for sausage benedict, omelettes, and blueberry pancakes. Service is prompt and friendly, and while there's almost always a line on the weekend, we've rarely had to wait more than 15-20 minutes. You will not be disappointed. read more

Bumping this review up. 3.5 stars. Went back recently on a Friday morning before the ladyfriend had to catch a train. While I still refuse to call this place a diner, and I am withholding a star just because of that fact, I was very pleased for this go round. Coffee was great and constantly refilled, omelet was hefty and tasty, and the toast was like real toast, not the stuff I was given the time before. Although they got the order wrong (regular eggs when I asked for egg whites), I was still pleased with the meal. I still don't buy that this is the best place in town for breakfast, but it is pretty good and I wouldn't discourage anyone from getting in there when it isn't busy. I wouldn't recommend being one of those people that lines up outside the door on the weekends. It isn't worth that much. - Juggernaut served with a diner, he knows a diner, he's friends with a diner. Depot Sir, you are not a diner. ...But you're still good. read more

Super place for breakfast and lunch. Attentive and friendly staff Had turkey dinner. Fantastic. Flavorful and not too salty. read more

This place makes driving to Beverly almost bare able. Great price, great food and the service is amazing. Everyone was so friendly. From the hostess to the waitresses everyone was so nice and extremely hard working. One of the waitstaff looked Greek and you know they are 3 input ladies. It's nice to see a super successful business incorporate a little technology to be even MORE successful. They have an app on the iPad and text u when your tables ready.. so you don't have to stand there waiting for them. You can quickly get out of beverly and check our Hamilton and all its splendor. Wife and I got the equivalent of the Lumberjack, 10 bucks and 2 huge plates of food. My rating is as follows. Eggs-10. Perfect scrambled eggs. Pancakes-6. Tough and dense. Pretty shocked by this. I loaded with butter and syrup and all was well. But now I am more jiggly in my man booby region. Potatoes- 8- Tasty, and not too greasy, unassuming, elegant yet not overstated. Coffee-10- just perfect. I like my coffee the way I like my woman, bitter and murky. JK I drink it black, and hopefully my daughter takes hers with TONS of cream. Who am I kidding, I'm routing for a Glass of milk from Manchester. Sausage-10- like mine, fat and spectacular flavor. This place is definitely worth trying again and again. Warmly, Mr Ipswich read more

Best Food in Beverly! It's one of those restaurants you know you will never be disappointed. I have been here (NO lie) over 40 times. I go at least once a week and have yet to be dissatisfied. Nothing has ever been over cooked or under cooked. Always to perfection! The staff is super friendly, never with attitude, always humble and very fun to talk to. I have even taken home breakfast a few time (Omelets) still yummy and fresh when I get home! The pricing is perfect, not to high and no too low. Right in the middle. I would honestly recommend anything on the menu, if your going for breakfast, Their sweet bread french toast with a side of blueberries & strawberries are to die for, as well as their Banana Nut Bread Pancakes YUM! Very filling so be extra hungry when you go. Their omelets are all amazing. Try Blonde (Egg White) and you still will no be displeased. Overall I give them 6 stars (if I could), when your in the mood to eat look no further! Check them out!! read more

The service is great! Breakfast and lunch are delicious and consistent. Always worth the wait for a table. For eggs benedict lovers, a wide selection of options in that category alone. read more

Best diner on the North Shore. Although, I would not categorize this place as a diner. Here's why. The food is fresh and Delicious. The place is immaculate. No diner grease build up. The staff is Efficient and Courteous. I really like this place. Eat. Pay. Return. Repeat. read more

Host was awesome, very friendly and accomodates us almost immediately. As we waited for the other half of our group to arrive she politely informed us everyone will be seated when the other half of your party arrives. Got seated, ordered drinks and breakfast and our food came out. Wow holy blandness no taste to the homefries, pancakes tasted like flour and cornbeef hash tasted more like a ground up meatball than hash. The check got dropped off and I asked the gentleman where our server was and he stated that our waitress had an emergency and had to leave. Life happens, I get it but no one ever came to refill our drinks or ask how the food was. Overall I could make better food at home for a lot less money, a lot more flavor. read more

Our family loves the Depot Diner! The staff is super friendly and attentive. We have been going here for years and the owner is always happy to see the kids! They've added the ability to see how long the wait is ... which is a bonus. You can check in and then wait in your car to be notified when your table is ready. The food never disappoints and the atmosphere is upbeat and bustling. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait... they are popular and always packed, but the wait is worth it. read more

This is the perfect place to take the family for brunch. Every time we have been there (and we go all the time) the staff is incredibly friendly, the food is excellent , the place is clean and they are very kid friendly. Sometimes there is a wait for a table but it is always worth it. read more

Great service. Delicious food (Tuna melt + potato salad = to die for) Always super busy on the weekends, sometimes up to a 20 minute wait. But it's worth it. I tried some of my other half's egg's Benedict and it was mouth watering! They make their own hash with a very different taste to it but it is delicious none the less. read more

Quick, delicious, and inexpensive. Went with friends ~12 on a Saturday. We were sat right away. We had a cute and peppy waitress who was happy to make suggestions and joke around with us. I got the classic eggs Benedict. It was delicious. I ate everything on my plate, and did everything short of lick it. t was perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce was just right. The BF got the gorgonzola burger as he is slightly anti-breakfast. He really enjoyed it. Tasty and cheap. We would certainly head back, but I may suggest a new name. Whoever named it was confused as to what a diner is.... regardless of the name, it was damn good. read more

The Depot Diner is one of the best spots on the North Shore for breakfast. The omelets and pancakes are excellent. The bacon is always prepared well, not limp and not burned. They have a lot of choices on the menu as well and the prices are moderate. The service is always friendly and they are always coming by to keep the coffee warm. So why is it four stars and not five. The home fries always need more time on the grill and thet don't have a lot of flavor. Most come simply white with no crispy edges so they taste as if they were only steamed. The home fries are important so I had to knock off a star. read more

I LOVE breakfast food, and this is one of the best places for it. If you go before 10am on a weekend, expect at least a 20 minute wait, but it's worth it. Good service, HUGE portions. For a diner, I found it to be a little pricey, but that's also because we ordered way more than we needed. The omelets are huge, the bacon is delicious, they're willing to make (and peel for you!) hard boiled eggs, and the french toast is great. The hash has a great crispy top, and the large OJ is huge, not the teeny glasses a lot of diners give you. read more

I come from a town where every weekend we tried a diner, we loved a good bloody, meat plates, thick french-toast, all kinds of egg benedicts with crab and such... I miss those days... I have kids... I do not live in a huge city... and my only comfort is Depot Diner. The food is so good and comforting... it is just like a place I would go to in Chicago called "the breakfast club" Thank God for Greek Diners!!!! They have incredible home cooked lunches.. like lamb, pot roast.. you know what I am talking about. I just wish I was Greek when I go in there... alas, I am Irish and can not cook like this. CC read more

Pretty good breakfast. Not greasy, not dirty, no grumpy waitstaff. I've come to expect the dirty silverware in breakfast dives, but not here! It's nice inside, relaxed and they actually have good coffee. I almost always hate diner coffee (yet always order it) - but theirs is decent. I think their prices are ok... A bit more than I expected, but fair for what you get. Breakfast sandwiches are the most affordable "deal" on the menu and my friend enjoyed hers. The French toast is good, but could have used more cinnamon. Potatoes were not crispy enough, but were cooked through, so they were fine. read more

Best breakfast there ever was!!! Always busy, always amazing, I've never met anyone who went there who didn't LOVE IT. read more

Depot Diner - Sausage,Egg, and Cheese on a grilled bagel - Diners Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Well, I have to say that this place has the all time BEST cheesebugrer I have ever eaten!!!!! The hours are strictly breakfast and lunch, so I don't get to eat there that often but like the rest of the reviews...this restaurant is special. I've had breakfasts here that were incredible but the real highlight is the blessed cheeseburger! It's huge with onions and mushrooms and a pickle along with amazing french fries. It's a little small for seating but if you are in the area, you have to give this place a try. You won't be dissapointed in any way. :) read more

Not what I expected, its not a diner feel, in a pretty non descript strip mall, atmosphere like Dennis almost. I was not expecting a lot from the food when I walked in (I'm a sucker for the cute cramped crash spoon style diner) but was really pleasantly surprised. Scrambled eggs were obviously real eggs not beaters, and generous portion of really good bacon. Home fries were home fries, wish they had hashbrowns but that's just me. French toast was the big Texas toast style. Service was perfect for the morning, not too chipper or overbearing but very friendly and efficient. read more

after living in the Northshore for a few years now, and eating at the Depot Diner so many times I can't count....I guess the noise I reviewed back then didn't really bother me too much. I love LOVE the service. Every waitress is so perky, helpful and nice they must be mainlining coffee in the kitchen. Host is always attentive and ready to get you the best table--especially with the waits. Food--best veggie wrap for lunch, omelets are the absolute best! My breakfast buds tell me the french toast is to die for, and recently we ate the lamb and it was amazing (yes, Lamb!) This place is consistent and really, really good.....and yes, as I said before, it is loud...filled with happy eaters. read more
