    Our bacon and cheese omelets
    Jeff M.

    Small diner in a little strip shopping center. Not many tables and the instant vibe was that this place gets a lot of locals who come here often. We ordered bacon and cheese omelets with home fries and toast. Everything was cooked on the grill behind the counter so you actually could see your meal being prepared. The food was very good and brought to us pretty quick. Our waitress was extremely friendly as well. The only negative I have is that they do not take credit cards. Being from out of state, I just assumed everyone takes credit now. I had to use the ATM machine and of course was charged a service fee. I didn't see any type of sign stating cash only. It should be posted somewhere, and if it is, I missed it. But great little place overall.

    Super fast service and much better than the big business restaurants. If you like small hometown feel, this place fits the bill!

    Don't let the outside fool you.

    Nice place for breakfast without the crowd. Just try not to sit by the door in the winter. It is quite breezy when it opens. Cash only.

    Don's Diner is located in a small strip plaza, just north of the downtown area, serving up breakfast and lunch at reasonable prices. Specials are offered including fresh seafood items and chowder. Breakfast only on Saturdays (9AM-12PM). The atmosphere inside is homey, a typical greasy spoon with counter seating, open grill area, and several tables. The walls are adorned with old cuckoo clocks, framed old posters of Leominster events, and plenty of antiques. Mass Lottery tickets are sold here too. I had a pretty good breakfast here very recently. The New England Coffee ($1.30) was good, brewed just right. I had 2 eggs (scrambled), home fries, homemade roast beef hash, and wheat toast ($5.75). The eggs were soft and fluffy, the home fries were fresh cut potatoes, grilled brown and slightly crisp on the outside. The roast beef hash was very good tasting (not salty), which had minced roast beef and shredded potatoes, The service was prompt and attentive. I was offered refills on the coffee, which was much needed to start off my day.

    This place reminded me of Cheers. Friendly and those who entered where regulars and called by first name. This place is a 60s throw back. The four seasons big girls don't cry played in the background as the walls had nostalgia memorabilia. The food was average. The pancakes were probably the best part of my meal. I ordered a veggie omelette which was well done and had a little bit too much cheese. The coffee was so-so. I wanted to like this place a lot. However, it's average. The one good point is the friendly service. Which I enjoyed.

    The people was very friendly nice cool old signs and vintage receipts on the wall. I rather have a real size menu to take a look at instead we got paper folded paper menu. The food was good and the price was cheap not bad. The chef and the waitress were really nice and friendly

    Accepts cash only but does have ATM

    Good breakfast for the money. Their pancakes are really good. Only gave it 4 stars because the service can be a little sketchy

    When I came to the diner I ordered the sausage and gravy over biscuits. The owner himself served…read morethe food to me and boasted how its $4.75 with coffee. In my mind I was already regretting my decision. He also boasted how he serves about 50 gallons a week to which I questioned if he serves it to pigs. I proceeded to taste only to realize that it tasted like gunk and he makes the environment hostile by angrily saying that hundreds of people eats this every week and it is NOT worth spitting out even though it could make someone sick. Then someone made a mess in the kitchen and said that the women are best are cleaning it as its up their ally. Anyway I came back later in the night for dinner and I request a Greek-Style Crusted Rack of Lamb and LET me tell you how chaotic it was. One chef couldn't repeat back the order, another chef had an an aggresive attitude and wanted to do the meat despite the fact that he was in charge of the salads. The owner then proceeded to throw the rack of the lamb with NOT an ounce of seasoning or sear. 5 of the cooks saw this and rallied behind him to correct sear and season the lamb. When I was served my dish it was a mess. ALL of the lamb was improperly cut with one looking like as if though he took a bite out of it. When I took my dish to explain it I saw at LEAST 10 pounds of LAMB WASTED. I decided to leave as the kitchen was such a mess and when I said my experience was horrible the owner said a horrible comment. He was lucky that he was the OWNER and NOT an EMPLOYEE because I would have ejected him from the kitchen and told him to go upstairs and get his bags packed. - Nordon Samson For anyone reading this, understand that I am referring to a famous moment about the owner. Aside from this the coffee and pancakes were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone to come here for pankcakes and the breakfast.

    Great place to get breakfast! The service was great from all of the staff. The food was fantastic…read moreas well! I ordered an omelette with swiss, bacon, mushrooms and onion and it was perfect. My partner ordered the eggs Florentine and that was delicious as well. The parking lot is pretty small, so when it's busy you might have to park on the other side of the street. The interior was really cute as well; it really felt like a hometown diner. We will be back!
