I had three eggs, thick-cut bacon, wheat toast and an endless cuppa Joe. No negatives whatsoever!

The creamer was added for you when you ordered. The cream was stored in a container that appeared to be an original device from the '30s. Worked well enough, so if it ain't broke... you know. I had Italian Breakfast. Three eggs as you like them, toast, hash browns, Italian sausage or a meatball with marinara sauce. I was impressed that I found a bay leaf poking out of the marinara sauce, so I know it was made in-house. I wish there had been a bit more spice, but very good. My wife had an omelette, the Massachusetts Pirate. Very well made with steak, peppers and onions. Also had toast and hash browns. We didn't have them, but the pancakes looked delicious. We saw several prepared while we waited at our counter seats. They're big and quite fluffy. Might have to have those next time. The place was very busy. Service was a bit slow, but gotta expect that for a place like this. Very, very friendly. We expect to go again!

She was very helpful with making decisions on what to have with what. I had the Reuben. A long-time favorite of mine. They make their own rye bread, and it shows.

My youngest had the meat-lover's omelette. It was impressive. So much flavor. And it didn't taste too greasy with all the meats. My oldest had a BLT.

Lots of counter stools and booths in 1950s pastel yellows and greens. My visit was a patty melt quest. They happily served it during the morning hours. The good: - Proper use of rye bread and onions - Proper buttering and griddling of the bread - Beef pink and juicy - Can substitute tots or hash browns for fries - Good flavors and mostly good textures The not-so-good: - Cheap beef with a clenched feel; a bit rubbery The cooking and overall presentation overcame the weakness of the beef ingredient to yield a tasty and pleasurable finished product. But the beef is noticeable as the weak link. Spicy hash browns were very good. Soft texture with some crispness too, and very enjoyable spiciness that didn't overpower. Decent coffee. Friendly service.

The corned beef hash was excellent, and even as a picky pancake lover, I enjoyed mine. My partner ordered the country breakfast, but we received the wrong order with different specifications. We didn't notice immediately and started enjoying the hash. It took the servers about two minutes to realize the mistake and attempt bring us the correct order, they had hoped we hadn't started eating the hash meant for another customer. Although the mix-up was understandable, it was a bit frustrating not to get our raisin toast or runny, sunny-side-up eggs as expected. We stayed with the wrong order and our was brought back to the kitchen. The biggest drawback, however, is the outdated ambiance. I appreciate the vintage, long-time diner charm, but the decor needs some attention: the cups are showing wear, the shades are dusty, and the hallway to the bathroom feels cluttered. The bathroom itself could use a thorough cleaning, the soap dispenser was empty, and the backup pump wasn't working properly, making the space feel less sanitary. A small renovation to refresh the space while preserving its classic appeal would really enhance the overall experience.

The soap is also like a regular dial soap pump bottle which is decent but, could be updated to a touch less soap dispenser to be more sanitary , That said, I've had better waffles elsewhere, and I'm not a fan of the syrup -- it tastes a bit watered down and could use more sweetness. I ordered a hot chocolate and an apple juice. The hot chocolate was rich and had a great consistency -- definitely a highlight. The apple juice, however, was served warm, and I personally would have preferred it cold. Overall, Dinky's is a solid spot with a welcoming vibe. I've returned a few times and plan to keep it in my rotation.

Contrary to what google says, there was no evidence of sports memorabilia or celebrity pictures. Sat at the counter and was joined by an elderly local man. Waitresses knew him by name. Which was not a common one. He ordered fish and chips (mkt price), so I did, too. Trust the locals. Gotta say, great choice. The piece of haddock was huge (had it been a shoe sole, I estimate size 18). The fish itself was fresh, likely recently delivered. Not a hint of oil and, when you break off a piece, steam came out. Fries were from a frozen bag, cole slaw just ok. Service very good. Overall, 3 and 1/2 fishy stars.
