The food was very good. We had hash and eggs. It was a nice change the waitress very considerate and split everything up on two plates since I can't have bread anymore. We'll see it right away. We actually sat outside. It was beautiful lovely day not awfully hot. The waitress was very friendly. Explained the specials. The coffee was incredible. I also had an ice water. Everything was presented wonderfully. read more

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 read more

Grateful Dedham Diner - Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

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. read more

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. read more

Grateful Dedham Diner - corned beef hash and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Best corned beef hash in area even judging by NYC standards! Highly recommended!! Service is quick and efficient.

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Get there an hour or more before closing. The staff is always in a hurry to leave on the weekends and reluctant to seat you (or will make it known they aren't happy). To owner: If you aren't serving until 3pm, please change the hours on your site or at least say last seating at 2:00 or 2:30 (or whenever) It's happened more than once. This time we just left while staff was debating whether to seat us. It was 2:30. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Love to go for breakfast !! Busy on weekends so obviously a popular place for locals.

Recently went back to the Grateful Diner, it's been a couple of years since I have been there. It was a mixed bag for sure. My feedback: Asked for well done bacon, did not get well done, it was barely cooked. Not a crispy section in sight. The yogurt parfait was basically missing the yogurt and was 90% fruit. Big let down. The service was less than desirable. Among other minor details, the server did not ask is we wanted anything else, just dropped off the check. Perhaps another cocktail would have been had....but check was on the table, so the Grateful Diner's loss in revenue. The server also never asked if we wanted any of the plates cleared which was unusual, so we just sat there talking with a table full of dirty plates--the flies and bees were happy, though! read more

The Grateful Dedham Diner, located on High Street in Dedham Square, is a family owned-and-operated restaurant that offers plenty of tasty breakfast, brunch, and lunch options at reasonable prices served by accommodating staff in a casual, open ambiance. We met up with friends for breakfast at the Grateful Dedham Diner on a recent Saturday morning. While the service felt a bit uneven with a long wait to order and a minor snafu during the ordering process, the staff quickly made things right. They were also very patient with our group, giving the five of us plenty of time to catch up with our local friends rather than trying to rush us to turn the table to accommodate the growing queue of diners. The breakfast menu includes plenty of options with filling portions of breakfast staples including cage free egg platters, benedicts, omelettes, pancakes, french toast, waffles, or breakfast sandwiches. The menu also offers several burgers, salads, and sandwiches/wraps which are available all day for those heathens who don't crave breakfast foods at every opportunity. I had the Irish Jumbo Roll sandwich ($9), comprised of two eggs (over medium at my request), irish bacon, and sausage links served on a fresh grinder roll. Tasty! As always, my dining companion preferred something lighter and opted for the G.O.A.T. platter ($13), two poached eggs over baby spinach, served with what feels like a pound of smoked salmon, goat cheese, avocado, and whole wheat toast. She really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area! PRO TIP: Grateful Dedham Diner doesn't have its own parking lot, but there's plenty free parking in the Gonzalez Field municipal parking lot at the corner of High and East Streets. read more

I like the variety of options at this restaurant including veggies. I've visited twice now. Service ( kitchen and waitstaff) slows a little as the morning to lunch time progresses. Not sure if there's a shift change or something. But the food is worth it. Mixed crowd so it's a nice slice of Dedham and surrounding communities. Also definitely roomy with seating outdoors when it's warm enough. read more

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. read more

Grateful Dedham Diner - The Big rig - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

We were a group of 7 heading back to RI from a few days in Maine. We wanted to stop midway for lunch, and Dedham was that place. What made us choose the Grateful Dedham diner was the name - I mean how bad could it be? It was great (or should I say grate?). People had the grilled cheese with Brie, others had a chicken wrap, some had breakfast, everyone loved their dish. Our server was very nice. All of us would go back if we find ourselves in Dedham, again. Also, they sell mugs and T shirts with the Grateful Dedham logo, and 2 of our friends bought them for their adult children who are Grateful Dead fans. Perfect stop! read more

My two sisters and I have been here for breakfast several times. We have nothing but good things to say..from the service, the vibe, the food and the prices. Love the Grateful Diner! read more

Woof. I had a disappointing breakfast here recently. I usually never comment on service but after my husband and I were seated, we waited such long time for someone to bring us menus that we almost left. It was odd that we were seated without them to begin with. Not a good start that went from bad to worse... I ordered the big rig breakfast which is eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, toast and pancakes. The bacon and home fries were burnt. The bacon was pretty much charred to a crisp. The toast was the most odd toast I've ever had anywhere; two small pieces of bread inches thick that tasted like oatmeal. I was done with this "toast" after one bite. I think the pancakes were supposed to be "big & fluffy" but they were thick and mushy instead. Even the coffee didn't taste right to me. Unfortunately I'd recommend skipping over this place :( read more

It's okay. Staff nice but not enthusiastic by any means. Decor is rough: torn vinyl on booth seats, plastic mismatched chair throughout (the kind you find in an ocean state job lot, dirty and stained menus. Food was fine. I had a grilled Rachel with fries. A little messy but tasted good. Just a place that was once designed well, it seems, but is not being treated with much love. Not bad, definitely not great. read more

Best food in town and the service was great along with the Irish pub feel!! Must stop!! read more

This was probably the worst brunch I have ever experienced. The location drew a crowd, especially on Father's Day, and we could see how hard the receptionist was working to manage the influx of customers. However, the service was not up to standard. I even waited more than 20 minutes for our check! I'm not usually a picky eater, but the food was neither fresh nor tasty. My scrambled eggs were dry and flavorless. If you are considering dining at this place based on its name, I would advise against it. It's not worth trying at all. read more

I went with some family members on a Saturday morning. The wait staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I had the Belgian waffle with fruit, which were all very fresh. Portion sizes are reasonable and I left feeling full, not stuffed and gross! The seating is surprisingly comfortable. I would definitely be back. read more

Great food and service! Ordered eggs over easy, done perfect. They could have finished cutting my son's Reuben sandwich all the way, it was messy but delicious. read more

Fun vibe and tasty food - went in on a lark while we were there to submit a passport app at the post office

Went for an early father's day breakfast. Family in the booth next to ours had propped up their phone for a full on facetime call using speaker phone. Volume on high. People in the booth basically yelling at phone so family on the other end could hear. Super annoying. Wait staff at the diner had no issue with it. read more

One of our fav diners to eat at! They're always so quick in seating and service. I always end up coming back for their sweet n' savory grilled cheese, lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes, and health nut French toast. Tried their bennys before and I would go to a few other places for those instead, but they have so many unique pancakes & French toasts -- always fun to try! read more

What a great place to eat!! Service was great!! If/when we get back here to Dedham, we will eat there again.

Overall this dining experience was just fine. The wait was short and the service from staff was wonderful. The food tasted just fine - not delicious nor disgusting. Someone in my party ordered a dish with a bacon or sausage option, asking for both. Their order was made as a side of bacon which was 3 strips of bacon costing $4.75 extra - a little pricy for just fine bacon. The mozzarella that came with my eggs was not melted or incorporated. In addition, after the kind waitress listed the toast options that come with my dish, I selected the English muffin option, only to have it charged as an extra $.50 - confusing me as to why this breakfast experience came with hidden fees. read more

Grateful diner is definitely worth trying out. Their menu is huge: breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I have only been for breakfast and lunch though. They have options for everyone. If you want something sweet they have great pancake flavors and French toast. They have a long list of omelettes and eggs for something savory. Their sandwiches and huge salads are great too. The ingredients are high quality and healthy. On the weekends it does get pretty crowded so sometimes there is a wait. They have really nice outdoor seating as well. Would definitely recommend having your next brunch here. read more

The food is decent but bland. I had the western omelette sandwich and my spouse had an egg white omelette. Both were average and blame. Service was ok. There was a lack of management as tables sat un-bussed awhile. Nice outdoor seating area. I'd come again for quick breakfast because I'm guessing they don't get that busy. read more

The location is nice and accessible. The interior is very casual. Service was also nice. The two wonderful ladies were very friendly and attentive. The food was a bit disappointing. I ordered the Isabel with standard egg, bacon, pancake, toast, and house fries. The rye toast was crispy and fresh. The egg and house coffee were good as well. But the fries were unseasoned, the bacon was refried and smelled stale, and the pancake was very dry. Overall, it's an okay spot to grab a bite when in a rush, but there are better brunch choices around. read more
