    Omelette
    Deena L.

    We went for brunch to the Greatful Diner. The menu has many options for breakfast and lunch. We all had breakfast and each selection came with a choice of toast and potatoes When they found out it was my birthday I was brought a fruit cup with a lit candle and they sang Happy Birthday to me The service was very good

    The Grateful Dedham Diner serves good food in a diner that feels like...a diner. So many places call themselves diners, but really aren't. We went for breakfast on a busy Sunday morning around 10 am and were lucky to get a table. The early crowd was leaving and the late crowd--like us--was just arriving. In addition to the diner experience, they play off the Grateful Dead theme with the front a groovy VW as their check-in stand. Very cute! We enjoyed blueberry pancakes, eggs Benedict multiple ways, and an egg white omelet with Brie and bacon. Yummy!! Service is friendly and efficient. Parking is available on the street or in a lot nearby.

    Came here on my mom's birthday for breakfast. Great diner food, and our server made it memorable by adding a candle to her fruit bowl. She loved it! When my mom first mentioned this place my boyfriend turned to me and we both thought the same thing - she's not into Grateful Dead music. But we were in for this experience. First off it's an amazing name, I always enjoy a good pun on words. We sat down and Pink Pony Club was playing. Got some questions... I don't think we heard one Grateful Dead song the entire time we were there, it was a great playlist don't get me wrong, just not on brand. Looking around, the clientele didn't radiate deadhead vibes, but they were definitely from that era. Despite the identity crisis, still a great diner spot.

    Our last day in Boston, my boyfriend I were craving some diner food. 50's diner was way too crowded so we opted for grateful. It's a family friendly diner that works quickly. We were seated within 5 minutes even though it was busy. I ordered the sausage and omelette with potato wedges which tasted wonderfully. Would highly recommend returning to any locals or visiting town.

    An amazing diner with great tasting food at an affordable price! I got the 02026 omelette and it was one of my personal favorites! The 02026 has a great blend of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. The apple gave it a hint of sweetness that compliments well with the saltiness of the bacon. As well as the goat cheese that catalyzed the two ingredients into one perfect bite. The potatoes were seasoned well. Crispy on the outside and soft in the inside! Toast is toast so it's not overly special. The whole set including tax was around $15 which was a pretty good deal! The staff were amazing and fast. Also, the restaurant is very lively in the mornings. I would recommend going early, it will get packed around 8-10am. This spot is best to go with your father during Father's Day! Or anytime with any of your family members

    The Grateful Dedham has been on my "hope to try" list for some years - I wish I had tried this place earlier: quite good on many levels. Seating was quick, despite crowd, and service from receiving menu to paying the check was prompt & friendly. The inside can be loud, but that's because lots of families eat with kids here, which I think is great. Note: there is a discount price if paying check by cash vs credit card. Food: I got "The Grateful" (see photo), while The Wife got a ham & cheese omelette, plus a side of corned beef hash (see phot). My Wife thinks the hash is the best ever; I lean towards it being quite good. As for my 2 scambled eggs, potatos, French toast, sausage (1) & bacon (2 strips) - quite yummy, the French toast & sausage in particular. Note: bacon is crispy, which happens to be the way I like bacon to be cooked. Potatoes were overcooked in my opinion. I tried my Wife's omelette: the ham was particularly flavorful. Pricing was reasonable. I plan on returning.

    Plenty of seating on the main drag with street parking. They call it a diner but it sure looks like a restaurant to me. The ceilings were high which brightened the atmosphere. I had the western omelette. I was loaded with ham, onion and green pepper.l which was sauted which brought out the flavor and made them el dente. I had the fruit cup in lieu of hash browns. You can beat strawberries, blueberries and melon. I would return specifically for the omelette.

    Was pleasantly impressed with the wait time. With it being Mother's day yesterday. The location was very good. The ambiance was pleasing. The waitress was delightful. The could have been better myself along with two others asked for cheese on our scramble eggs and on their omelette. No cheese and sausage could have been cooked a little longer and the potatoes need some seasoning. And the mimosa I had was tangy.

It pains me to write this review but I hope it's seen by management and they address this issue. I had a friend visiting from another state (drove for 10 hours in snow and ice). I was excited to bring them here for brunch. I made a reservation online the day before just in case. We arrived at 10am and the doors were locked. The hours said they'd be open at 9am. Tried getting the staff's attention but it seemed like we were being ignored. I called the phone number several times. No one picked up even though I could see staff inside. I even tried sending them a message on social media but no response. We ended up going to the breakfast spot next door. When we were done, we walked past the restaurant and of course it was open then. Needless to say, this experience was super disappointing. Communication about updated hours or picking up the phone isn't too much to ask for. One bad experience isn't a dealbreaker but two will be. I hope management fixes this quickly.

I brought my best friend, who also grew up coming here, and my fiancé. I was SO excited. I traveled from Puerto Rico to Dedham to come here specifically. I did not get the fried dough basket. What I got was a 20-minute wait in the cold and a hostess operating under the impression that a party of four is only "complete" when all four members are physically wedged into the booth like sardines in a tin. Our fourth was minutes away. MINUTES. What were we supposed to do -- get to the front of the line, say "no thank you," and return to the back of the line outside? We were hungry. Once seated, the waitress informed us that our fourth person could not join us and there would be no add-ons allowed. We ordered our drinks. When I asked about this policy, she raised her voice and told us how busy they are and that they just can't allow it and that's their policy. I asked, "So if somebody comes in, they can't sit with us even if they're not ordering?" She said no. Two minutes later, she came back asking if we were ready to order, one of our party was still reading the menu. She raised her voice again, saying the manager was AWARE of the SITUATION and the kitchen really needed our order in a hurry. Based on the way we were being treated, we decided to take our business elsewhere. As we stood up, we overheard the two waitresses say to each other, "Good, it's for the best!" She asked if I wanted to speak to the manager, and I said yes. I explained how I'd been coming here since childhood, how excited I was to come back, and that I'd never been treated with such rudeness at a business in my life. The manager asked if I wanted the table back. I said not really. She offered an unheartfelt apology, and we left. Grampy, if you're watching from heaven, I am so sorry. They've changed.

Santoro's has deep roots in Roslindale Square, originally founded by Vincenzo and Agostina Santoro and beloved for decades for their Sicilian pizza, fresh-baked scali bread, and classic Italian pastries. Today, their daughter Tina Santoro Asmar carries that legacy forward with pride--and has taken it to another level. The care, tradition, and family ownership are felt the moment you walk in. The sandwiches are simply unmatched. Hands down, the best Italian deli sandwiches I've ever had--better than anything I've eaten in Philadelphia, New York City, or Boston (all places I've lived). Everything starts with bread baked fresh daily and top-quality ingredients. Our favorites are: The Agostina Sr. - Boar's Head provolone, sweet & spicy capicola, Genoa salami, mortadella, prosciutto, sun-dried tomato spread, roasted red peppers, onion, tomato, fresh basil, and olive oil The Grayson - Oven Gold turkey, cranberry sauce, homemade stuffing, romaine, and mayo You can taste the pride and attention to detail in every bite. Catering is where Santoro's truly shines and we always call the day beforehand. We regularly order trays for our own family and for friends returning home from the hospital, and the feedback is always the same--everyone raves. Standout catering dishes include: Chicken Parmigiana, Stuffed shells & stuffed manicotti, Lasagna, Ziti with meatballs, Chicken, broccoli & ziti, Eggplant Parmigiana (a favorite with our vegetarian friends), and Caesar salad We always order extra meatballs and extra Nona Carmela's marinara--and it never goes to waste. The garlic bread is also a must: fresh scali bread loaded with garlic, butter, Parmesan, mozzarella, and baked until perfectly bubbly. The desserts are excellent (especially the cannoli), and they thoughtfully package them separately from hot food--small touches that show how much they care. Add in super friendly staff, fair prices, and consistently fresh ingredients, and Santoro's becomes the kind of place you rely on again and again--for everyday meals, family gatherings, and moments when food really matters. A true family-owned Italian gem with incredible sandwiches and catering you can trust. Highly recommended.
