    Egg Sammy on amazing cinnamon raisin bread
    Lisa E.

    100 stars for this gem of a diner. Cute, clean, upbeat with a fabulous menu & exceptionally friendly service. I'd drive 30 min out of the way to return. Tip...when you see the option to join the waitlist on YELP, is says that the current wait is 5 minutes. So we did not join the list until it was time to walk out the door, since it was 4 minutes away. When I did continue to join the list, it now said that the wait would be 39-45 minutes !! What the heck ? I would have joined the list 30 minutes ago. So this seems to be a glitch, You should proceed to join so that you can see the true time frame. I tried to explain this to the man at the register, but..whatever. In the end, we were only 2 people and did not wait longer than 4 minutes on a Sunday at 8:30 am Lee loved the sweet potato hash, it is just not my thing, but I absolutely am still thinking about my sausage, egg & cheese sando on gorgeous cinnamon raisin bread..perfection ! Everything was delicious, I am sure that every single item shines, as does the coffee. Highly, highly recommended!

    I found this establishment by searching for a breakfast place on a Saturday. The day I found it, the wait was really long. I was able to get on the waitlist via Yelp which was great. I wasn't at the location. I ended up being #44. Because of the wait, we decided to go somewhere else. Now two days later, on a Monday, I happened to be driving in the area. I looked it up on Yelp and got on the waiting list. I was #14. When I arrived, I didn't see it. I drove around to the back and there is was. Amazed that on a school day Monday, there were ppl outside waiting. I parked and went inside to see if I could get a bar seat. The bar seating included in the wait however by wait was cut in half due to being by myself. Once you walk in, there's a check in counter to the left, the seating area is to the right. Before being seated, I went to use the bathroom and it was gross. One stall was disgusting after someone decided not to flush leaving only one stall. I'm assuming because that toilet wasn't flushed, it caused the bathroom to smell awful. While using the bathroom I heard two people come in. One being an employee that had JM Diner shirt on it. She waited for the stall I was using. It was concerning that as an employee she didn't attempt to rectify the non-flushed toilet. I went back to the waiting area and shortly later, I sat at the bar. Each person, including the other customers I was siting next to was very pleasant. I'm in love with pancakes. I inquired about them and one guy described them being huge and he asked another employee to describe them and he gave the description of a little smaller than a manhole cover. We laughed and I then ordered - only one though. I also ordered a steak and cheese omelette with a side of tomatoes and orange juice. My goshhhhhhhhhh....their pancakes!!!! No wonder this place's wait is ridiculous. The pancakes were amazing. They were a tad bit sweet but the texture, size, fluffiness was delicious. The orange juice is freshly squeezed A lot if places don't do freshly squeezed. I will definitely come back here with the family!

    Monte crista

    The food was delicious! We got them monte cristo and egg Benedict and it had so much flavor. This place is definitely worth the wait. Easy to get on the waitlist. We logged in from the Yelp app for the waitlist and it was an hour wait so we left and did some shopping at natick mall and came back and a table was ready for us. Parking is easy they have a lot in the back. Place does get packed tho but soo worth the wait

    The breakfast food here is so yummy. There are tons of options, mostly sweets and salty separated, not a lot of combo breakfast meals. The ex Benedict was so yummy in the home fries are a must try. Almost every time you go you will be waiting for a table. Service is great. The one comment I would have is that they do rush you a bit and come over very consistently to see if you need anything anything which can be annoying while trying to dine in. Overall great experience.

    History of the place
    Lexi M.

    We came here for a quick breakfast before our flights. We heard amazing things about this place and they were all right. The food, service and price was awesome. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ pork skillet and was wowed by all the flavor it had. Great diner and amazing food!

    Maple BBQ Pulled Pork Benny
    Brian W.

    Loved our dining experience here -- friendly staff, the waitlist worked and got us in when we needed, and the food was incredible. We'll definitely be back!

    Breakfast was ok. The real maple syrup was a nice touch. 99 cent extra charge on the eggs? I wish they told me this before hand instead of being surprised on the check itself. Please be upfront with this. Not to mention egg prices are back Down. Will this automated change be canceled at one point or is it permanent?

    This place is worth the wait! I recommend going on the waitlist through yelp before arriving, they might even seat you earlier as long as you reserve your spot. The people here are really nice (and they wear really cool pyjama pants :)) & the decor would entertain you. Monte cristo tasted pretty unique, just on the sweeter side. The corned beef hash Benny, on the other hand, is amazing! Daves corned beef hash was made just right, with the right amount of crispiness. Highly recommend! Would definitely come back!

    Hot chocolate Deluxe
    Hector B.

    Delicious experience, they have ice cream which they use in their delicious coffee floats or traditional ice cream floats, additionally they have mastered the salty and sweet archetype! The service is very friendly and attentive. Have never had a problem! Overall it's a very well deserved popular diner that definitely deserves a try

    Deluxe hot chocolate and a caramel iced coffee
    Lily C.

    My sister and I have come here a few times before and the atmosphere is really lovely. The food is wonderful and they have really fun drinks too. The service is great, the staff is always friendly even when it can be quite crowded and busy which i appreciate.

    Hello, do they have gluten free breakfast options?

    They do, however, all food is cooked on the same grill so there is a chance of cross contamination. If you have questions, message them on FB...they respond quickly!

    Does this place have an area where you can buy pastries? Such as muffins?

    Katelyn - J&M doesn't do any type of take-out orders. J&M is truly an awesome spot - delicious and worth the wait. If you want another spot to just grab muffins to go - try Mel's Commonwealth Cafe in Wayland. I often get breakfast or lunch… Read more

    Do they have any gluten free options?

    Their paleo breakfasts should be gluten free but you could still call and confirm. If not, many of the a la carte items are and would make an awesome breakfast.

    Is this the same diner that used to be in the strip mall/business park behind route 30?

    Yes

    Do they take reservations?

    They don't take reservations, however they have a system where you go in and give your name and cell phone number, once your table is ready they text you and you come in. If we go and there is a wait we'll spend our time at the Natick Mall or down… Read more

I opened it and saw there was no half & half in it, and then I saw the coffee table, so I assumed there was half and half. I walked to the table and found out that there was no half & half. There was honey, milk, and almond milk, but no half-and-half. So I went up to the counter again and waited on the long line for asking where is half & half.

It is in an odd location near the DPW, but the inside is cute and likely designed by a fan of the Magnolia network. There is seating for about 24 people, max, but the breakfast menu has basic eggs, breakfast meats, home fries, etc. The double breakfast has 2 eggs, 2 tiny sausages, 2 strips of bacon, home fries and toast. Everything was good - no complaints with food or service. One really odd thing, though. Is there are no prices posted anywhere. Menus are blank, wall signage is blank, the website doesn't list prices, etc. I had no idea how much my breakfast was going to cost, and couldn't make decisions about what to order based on price. My breakfast, with a black coffee, was about $14.75. Overall, a nice spot if you're in the neighborhood, but certainly not a destination-type place.

We asked the manager for some napkins to prop up the wobbly table and he said (quote) "Why don't you tell your kid not to stand on his chair" and walked away. The kid in question was literally sitting in his chair with one foot against the table. We explained to the manager the impact of what he said, and gave him multiple opportunities to apologize. We get it: its St Patrick's Day in an Irish bar and it's stressful. But instead of recognizing that he snapped: he doubled down and tried to convince us that his language fine, and that we were in the wrong for calling him out. I even talked with him an hour later, after it had cooled off, and he continued to be aggressive and dismissive. A bad manager is one thing. But our server didn't acknowledge the awkwardness (even as other families watched in shock), just trying to rush us out. The food was probably the worst it's ever been at Stone's, which raises questions of why. It's understandable to have a bad day, it's *not* ok to set the tone for your staff and establishment that berating your customers, unprompted, is acceptable.

A maioria das…read morefuncionárias sempre foi extremamente simpática comigo, por isso a experiência que tive hoje me decepcionou bastante, principalmente porque eu realmente gostei do lugar desde a primeira vez que fui. Hoje, 09/05, estive no café e pedi um iced latte. Assim que recebi a bebida e provei, percebi que o café estava muito forte. Pela cor e pelo tamanho da bebida, senti que a quantidade de leite não estava proporcional. Além de não ter gostado do sabor, aquela quantidade de cafeína poderia até me causar uma crise de ansiedade, algo que acontece comigo quando consumo cafeína em excesso. Fui até o balcão de forma educada apenas para pedir um pouco mais de leite. Não pedi para trocarem a bebida, não reclamei da forma como ela foi feita e nem voltei depois de consumir metade do café -- literalmente tomei um gole e apenas solicitei um ajuste simples. Infelizmente, isso foi suficiente para que eu fosse tratada com deboche por uma funcionária, que respondeu: "Da próxima vez você pode pedir em qualquer outro drive thru, porque o nosso café é forte." No primeiro momento até fiquei sem reação pelo tom sarcástico, porque sinceramente não esperava esse tipo de tratamento. Como cliente, acredito ter o direito de sinalizar quando algo não está dentro do esperado, assim como o estabelecimento tem todo o direito de se posicionar -- desde que isso aconteça com respeito. O que mais me chateia é que essa situação aconteceu justamente em um lugar pelo qual eu havia criado uma imagem tão positiva. Não gostaria que uma experiência isolada apagasse isso, mas confesso que agora não sei se me sentiria confortável em voltar e correr o risco de ser tratada com deboche novamente apenas por fazer um pedido tão simples. Quero deixar claro que essa experiência aconteceu com uma pessoa específica, porque todas as outras funcionárias com quem tive contato sempre foram muito educadas e gentis.

The pacing was off and there were long periods between our order and apps, entree, and dessert. - bread service: kind of expensive ($13) for 5 pieces of bread and a dollop of each dipping sauce. Try just bread and butter for $6 - cornbread: delicious but small portion for $14. Also not a fan of the cutting board presentation - kids Mac and cheese: very cheesy ($12) - tiger shrimp risotto: ($34) good flavor but risotto was underdone - fried chicken: ($30) so crispy and cooked perfectly but had an odd spice in there like cinnamon? The star was the fried green tomatoes and the buttermilk ranch! Perfectly fried and crunchy while the tomatoes stayed firm and a very tasty ranch dressing! - dessert: warm cow sugar cookies were nice and warm sitting in butterscotch pudding, very cute! - the toffee in the butterscotch pudding ($11) was super crunchy, wish there were more cubes mixed in - warm chocolate brownie ($15) was missing the creme anglaise? Or the splatter of it was very small? I liked the open kitchen, high ceilings and farm2table concept but be prepared to spend $$$. Some street parking available and metered lot across the street.
