I arrived an hour before closing. I was given a menu and coffee. Ordering was very easy. The food came out in a timely manner. They have all the classic diner options. While the food was great, the service wasn't as welcoming. They did not come to check in or refill my coffee like they were to others. Whether that is because of me dining alone, me coming close to closing time or due to my race, I guess we will never know. I did go up to the counter request more coffee and a to-go box. Expect to pay ~$15-20 for food and coffee.

When the bill came, I got charged the menu price for eggs with meat - $10.99 + $4.00 for coffee + tax + fee for paying with credit = $16.00 I left a $3.00 tip. So $19.00 for 2 eggs, hash browns, toast & coffee is a very expensive breakfast. The food was OK as well as the service.

Although it did take a while for our server to come over and throughout the service, she was still very nice. Only stressed us out cause we had to get to work. I ordered the eggs Benedict, my boyfriend got an omelet, and we split plain pancakes. Lot of food but everything was delicious. My boyfriend liked that you could get homestyle baked beans as a side too. It's simple inside but they've definitely renovated since I came here last. Either way it fits in with your modern New England family owned establishment.

Early Harvest Diner in Wakefield, MA is a solid neighborhood breakfast spot with a…read moresmall-to-medium-sized dining room and a good amount of seating. They offer regular table seating, counter seats, and booths. The booths, however, are pretty uncomfortable--despite having a cushion, you immediately feel the wooden board underneath when you sit down, which takes away from the experience a bit. We went around 11:00 AM on a Saturday and were seated quickly with no wait, though I can imagine on a busier morning there could be a decent wait time given the diner's size. The menu has a good variety, but pricing can be a little confusing. Some menu prices don't always reflect the final cost due to fluctuating egg prices. There is a sticker noting this, but it's easy to miss and may not be obvious to customers. We ordered the steak and eggs, which came out to $20 and was cooked nicely to a true medium rare. The hash browns weren't overdone and had a great crunch on the outside. The pancake we tried was very fluffy, and their iced coffee was genuinely delicious. We also ordered the Double Double, which also cost $20 and offered a decent portion of food for the price, along with sausage links as a side. They do offer real maple syrup for waffles or pancakes, though it costs extra. One thing I found to be a flaw is that the maple syrup and ketchup on the table had no labels--personally, I like knowing the brand or ingredients of what I'm eating. The same went for the hot sauce they offered; it was served in an unlabeled glass bottle. It tasted very similar to Frank's RedHot and had the same consistency, but it would be nice to know for sure. The staff is kind and attentive when it comes to taking your order and delivering food, but once the plates hit the table, check-ins are minimal. If you need something, you may have to flag someone down. Parking isn't bad since it's located in a plaza, and there's additional parking in the back if the main lot fills up. Overall, Early Harvest Diner is a nice place to grab breakfast with your family or significant other without breaking the bank. The food quality is solid, but the vibe could benefit from a refresh to feel a bit more cozy and modern.
