You are greeted as you walk in this old time diner. It is an old style diner aesthetics and all. They took our order brought us coffee and the food was out in a flash. Here we never had an empty cup of coffee or water. There was plenty of delicious food on the plate. My plate had an omelette and country potato and toast. It was made to perfection. I obviously cleaned my plate up. Thanked "Franny" (she is on hand) and the chef for the great food. read more

Franny’s Diner - Love the decor. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pepperell, Massachusetts

Pretty good diner for a small town. Service was good but took a while for food to come out possibly due to shortage of staff. Overall it wasn't bad. I think it is overpriced tho a glass of orange juice was 5$ and it wasn't even fresh OJ. Also they don't have espresso either so that was a miss. The hash browns were really good and the waffles weren't bad but sugary. They are small waffle sizes now which is great for people who don't wanna eat a whole waffle but these photos prior were deceiving showing a different waffle. Keep that in mind. I'd come back here for sure. read more

Had a wonderful meal here with my son. Enjoyed a delicious burger that was cooked to perfection. Staff were attentive and pleasant even though it was packed. The atmosphere is a mix of 50's diner and mom and pop kind of place. Some small tables outside though the drop in temps had me select sitting inside, but will definitely be back to enjoy the outdoor space read more

SERVICE: Samantha took wonderful care of the 3 of us while we enjoyed our breakfast. She is pleasant and responsive and we could not have asked for better service. FOOD: The eggs, veggie omelette, home fries and sausage were all perfectly cooked. The yogurt parfait was full of fresh fruit and beautifully presented. ATMOSPHERE: Old timey, M*A*S*H playing on the corner TV, yacht rock style music playing at a low volume, clean and cheery inside. read more

Great food and service. Lots of gluten free options and they're very careful with using separate pans and utensils when you let them know of allergies. read more

The ambience is super cool. The service was warm and friendly. The food was pretty good. I had two eggs and corn beef hash that was homemade and they were very sensitive regarding my gluten allergy. read more

Franny’s Diner - 2 eggs medium, home fries, corned beef hash and gluten free bread. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pepperell, Massachusetts

Seriously good diner that not only gets that they are in the hospitality business but follows up with excellent food. Often restaurants forget they are first in the hospitality arena and clearly Breen's emphasizes that with their wait staff as the service is top notch, friendly and efficient without being obtrusive. My Turkey Club Sub was amazing, the sub roll was excellent one of the very best. Flavorful tender turkey slices with tomatoes lettuce and bacon and mayo make up the sub. The bacon was truly mind blowing if I could buy it by the trunkful I would make a serious effort to do so on a regular basis. Even the mayo was something special. If you are a coleslaw devotee then you are gonna love Breen's cause it is a standout amongst the sea of make believe wanna be coleslaws. Breen's is something special in the culinary diner world, a place you won't want to miss..!! read more

Such a warm and wonderful place to meet and have a great meal. Do stop by for breakfast and try the specials.

Never disappointed with breakfast! staff is friendly and welcoming. prices are good as well.

The food was okay, but it wasn't anything special. I remember the waitress being nice, but the experience wasn't memorable at all and I don't really forsee going back ever again. Overall the food just wasn't my thing, but there wasn't really anything wrong with it. Most of the other people with my enjoyed their meals however so it may have just been me. The theme of the resturant is kind of cute, but it's also not really my thing. read more

Best breakfast I have had in a long time. The biscuits are fantastic, especially when covered with their sausage gravy.

So yummmy! Best place in my town for breakfast! My whole family loves it here! Totally recommend!!!

Franny’s Diner - SUPERIOR HOMEFRIES!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pepperell, Massachusetts

Coffee wasn't good. Homefries weren't either. Pancakes were solid. Was hoping for better :(

Hello all, in my short 40 years of breakfast life (the first 2 1/2 consisting of milk with the remaining 7 1/2 putting ketchup on eggs) not that there's anything wrong with that but I digress. Breen's Diner invokes memories of my gradual understanding of what makes a great breakfast. Sundays at Rollie's in Lynn to the Swampscott Bickford's (Lynn side) to Normans 2 in Holliston and the incomparable (until now) Lou Roc's. Breen's, I'm happy to say, has raised the bar. Our server Kayla was prompt as she was pleasant. The young gentleman behind the counter greeted us warmly and of course the brilliant Chefs, ladies both, gracefully suffered my truculent praise. Come one come all remember what was good and enjoy breakfast again. read more

While in town on vacation, we found this diner online and decided to give it a try. The food was very good and the portions huge! Our server was very friendly and attentive. I enjoyed looking at all the decor while we waited for our meal. If I was in the area again, I would go back to try something else off the menu. read more

Second visit. Sent some folks we met on the Nashua Rail Trail here also. Hope they liked it. Excellent corned beef hash and poached eggs. Big chunks of corned beef. Gluten free options including these waffles yum read more

Fantastic place! As a former Sous Chef I am beyond impressed with their Irish Benedict. I finally found a spot that has chunks of corned beef in their homemade corned beef hash. The Benedict is on a whole different level here. I can't speak highly enough about the quantity and quality of their Benedict's here. Very satisfied and true comfort food. They also gave us no high fructose ketchup packs which was the ferry on top of everything. The only knock we have is that they didn't give us enough syrup for their huge pancakes so make sure you ask for more. read more

Went to Breen's Diner as a party of four on a Sunday morning. We only had to wait about 5 minutes for a booth to clear. Decor is old-timey diner, but clean with a good amount of seating and staff. We all ordered coffees to start which came out promptly. I had a griddled blueberry muffin and egg wrap with bacon and onion. The muffin was amazing, full of blueberries and nice touch of vanilla. The egg wrap was slightly disappointing. Way too much overcooked and under seasoned egg and not enough toppings. We also ordered the chicken and waffles (fried boneless chicken tenders) which was good, another egg wrap which that person liked, and a egg, cheese and bacon on a croissant which was also good. We did not like the $3 extra charge for real maple syrup. Fairly inexpensive overall and good breakfast. I would like to come back for lunch (not served on Sunday) as I hear that is great. read more

Good food, great service with an awesome environment. Waitresses are friendly and courteous

Great birthday surprised from my wife this morning for my mother in law and I (yep same day). She brought home corned beef hash and blueberry muffins from Breen's Diner. Breen's has an exceptional home made hash, by far the best in the area. My wife kept telling us how appreciative and grateful the person that served her was. I suggest you give it a try and help out a great local spot. read more

Breen's is a 50's style diner right in the heart of Pepperell next to the bike trail. This place is everything you could hope for in a local breakfast spot. The food is incredible. The big bopper special, the twist breakfast bowl, and the mouth watering breakfast burrito are all on point. Coffee is hot and good. The service often makes or breaks diners and the staff at Breen's is awesome. They are super attentive, fast, and pleasant. Prices are very reasonable. A little higher than a greasy spoon, but the food quality make it a no brainer. Can't recommended this enough. read more

Franny’s Diner - Specials for lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pepperell, Massachusetts

The. Best. Food. And. Service. If that was all I had to write, should be enough to get you running (or bicycling) to Breen's. Breakfast- it is almost all about the breakfast here. A little about lunch too. Eggs any way you want them. Bacon the way it should be cooked. Pancakes bigger than the plate. Too much food, always take it home for lunch (many hours later) or breakfast tomorrow. Omelets are overstuffed and delicious. Service is super prompt and friendly but not too "in your face". Check it out- if the current social distance situation has you squeamish, and there is nothing at all wrong with that, order your food to go- so very much worth it. Yum yum yum read more

Very good usually. Best hash anywhere. However the last two times there I wanted the Irish eggs Benny. One time out of hash, the second out of hollandaise...disappointed. Today I went and was (very unusually dissapointed) - probabably because of my mis-ordering. I got the hash browns instead of potatoes and they were hard (not crispy, but hard - needed a knife to break them up and very greasy. The bacon was also very greasy (undercooked?) with pooling on the plate. Asked for ketchup and given a bunch of packets for me to open (no bottle). Don't like that. Maybe it saves some money or less subject to germs? Although a complaint about just today, still highly recommended. The biscuits and gravy are tremendous. A half portion with (maybe an extra biscuit once you have finished the first). Wait staff is tremendous and very friendly. read more

Good food but won't go back. I don't think they appreciate your business. When you leave a tip they never say thank you and it's hard to get a refill on your cup of coffee read more

YUM YUM YUM! Best dang hashbrown I ever had, and the pancakes are so light and fluffy! Generous portions and friendly staff. Will absolutely be back! read more

No pictures today, but breakfast (him) and lunch (me) was delicious. Just a couple observations: I think it could be a little cleaner inside....floors and bathroom. Not bad, but a little more Spic and Span. Waitresses are young and sweet.....but never ask how your meal is after you started eating it. Since they are so nice, encourage a little more customer interaction. The food is consistently delicious and very good quality. read more

This is my favorite local diner to meet my bestie for eggs Benedict every week. Wait staff are so friendly and sweet, the food is delicious.

Best diner in the area! Great food but a smaller place so it struggles a bit when busy due to popularity. Better earlier than later as there is no shift change. Well worth any short wait and staff is always super friendly. Owner often comes out to check on your meal and table service. read more

Franny’s Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pepperell, Massachusetts

Biking on the Nashua River Rail Trail, my group and I were told about Breen's by other bikers. On our way back to Ayer from Nashua, we decided to stop. Waling through the door was like taking a time machine to the 1950's. The diner has a juke box, posters of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe, and period furnishings throughout. But the best feature, without a doubt, was the food! My friend and I split the reuben sandwich with a side of homemade potato chips and a kosher dill pickle. Others had the mackerel sandwich with fries and an omelet made with (apparently) 5 eggs, accompanied by home fries and toast. The service was prompt and cheerful, and the ambiance of the place was small-town welcoming. The reuben sandwich was the best I have eaten in my 71 years, hands down! This is worth going out of your way. read more

They've finally fixed up the old Spa in Pepperell Center, across from the rail trail. It's now a fun 50's diner with a counter on the left and new bench seating along the right - and a jukebox in the rear. I had coffee, raisin bread french toast with real maple syrup and bacon (well, actually sausage cuz they ran out of bacon - typical new restaurant woes) - all for $11. The food was fine, the coffee better than average diner coffee, and the wait staff was very friendly, though a bit scattered. I'm looking forward to coming back and seeing what lunch is like. read more

Franny’s Diner - Mother Daughter brunch date - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pepperell, Massachusetts

First time going. We ordered 3 cheeseburgers, medium. They were all raw. So raw non of us could even eat the sides to fill us up. We reheated them the next day but it was embarrassing to say to guests I hear this restaurant has great burgers, wait 30 minutes and they come raw when we brought them home. We all filled up on fries. read more

Nice nostalgic diner in downtown Pepperell. Had the Marilyn Monroe omelette that was tasty with the hash browns and choice of raisin toast. My wife had their daily special of a fruit bowl and breakfast sandwich. Service was attentive and coffee was refilled without our asking. Will return again in trying out their other offerings. read more
