Amazing! Another, old school diner that seemingly gets it right! Got to live Massachusetts!! Located across from a technical school in Framingham, off of Route 135, you'll find another of the best kept secrets in metro west! A rock solid breakfast. Old school. I'm not even a fan of breakfast potatoes, but, trust me, these are top shelf. Cooked perfectly. Seasoned wonderfully. Taste spectacularly! Poached eggs - yes, they do them right and with skill. Good prices. Wonderful cup of coffee. A great team working. Clean. Kitsch. Old school. This is what is right in the world! No negatives whatsoever. read more

What a cute little place for a cozy, laid back and delicious breakfast. My husband and I both ordered the #1 which was 2 eggs with bacon, home fries and toast. The waitress handed me my plate and said "here's your giant breakfast". I said "Are you sure? I only ordered the #1". She said "Yes, the cook gave you extra eggs and bacon. I guess he's feeling generous with the eggs today. Lots of times, if you order 2 you get 3 and if you order 3 you get 4". I got 3 eggs and my husband got 4 and tons of bacon. Huge portions with exceptional service. Thanks for making our first visit to Lloyd's Diner a great one! read more

Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning after a walk at Farm Pond. Note that it closes at 11:30AM & it's CASH only. There were a couple of specials so I saved on the Big Breakfast, which is part of the regular menu. They have big, fat breakfast sausages that have great flavor. Server was friendly and attentive. The place is small with booths and counter in front, tables in the back. It always seems to be busy. read more

As basic an old fashioned diner as you can get. Large quantities of everything for a very reasonable price. Limited menu. The owner is friendly and the ambience is 1950s. No frills and low bills. read more

My Family and I were staying in Sudbury MA for a family outing. We wanted a good breakfast, so we went to a local restaurant. They wanted $79.00 a piece for a buffet. My wife found Lloyd's Diner on the internet. What a pleasant surprise, a real old school railroad car diner with abundant portions and excellent food. We had so much left over a made a breakfast hash the next day. The service was above and beyond, and all staff members could have been nicer. If in the area do yourself a favor and dine at Lloyd's Diner. BTW our bill for four was far less than then $79.00 a piece, far less. read more

Stop by here if you have a huge appetite. The amount of food they serve you is immense. The food is hot, inexpensive and served with a smile and good conversation. The diner is an old train car and filled with character. Service was spot on and pleasant. read more

Lloyd's is hidden gem. Everything about this breakfast place is special. The decor is 50's retro. You receive a warm, friendly, inviting welcome when you walk in and throughout your ordering. The food is tasty. The portions are immense. And the prices are inexpensive. Both my wife and I loved dining there. We're going back. read more

The breakfast was the worst the eggs were good but the home fries tasted like they were on the grill for a week the coffee was just alright I got a omelet and the peppers and onions were raw please don't waste your money on this place went there with my wife it cost forty dollars with the tip find another place you will thank me read more

They're Hardly open. They Keep changing hours and days. Hours opened is so limited why bother opening. They also post cash only

Friendly staff. Cool diner. Food was served in massive portions. A little bit too greasy for myself but great for a hangover.

I want to keep this place for myself!! But I have to share how awesome this place is. It's small and kept its vintage look. The food is cooked right in the grill in front of you. Large portions. Very delicious. My husband and I love their corned beef hash. I do wish they had more pancake and French toast options available. But the prices are great. However keep in mind it's Cash only!! Can't wait to go back. read more

Lloyd's Diner - Outdoor seating with a very large helping of home fries, corned beef hash, over easy eggs, and bacon. - Diners Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Says it's open, but it's closed at 7:30 am on a Wednesday. I can all the way over here, and they just wasted my time. read more

Went there once a while back and was sorry I ever stopped there. I think it was because I was not a regular that earned me the rude treatment from the man behind the counter who I believe was the owner. The food was sub par also. Will never return there. read more

I stopped in here on a Sunday morning and had a really good breakfast. I had one of the largest omelette I've ever seen. The people there were very friendly. I love the history behind the diner. read more

We have been going to Lloyd's since my father took me when we were kids, then we went as hs students, and now our kids take their friends to Lloyd's for their legendary eats. No frills, just stacks and stacks, and as friendly as can be, across the board. If you can carry 'yes.. let's go!!' excitement for generations that is exceptional. A must on the map of legendary local stops. read more

Lloyd's Diner - Bacon, sausage, Just missing the legendary home fries but definitely order some! - Diners Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Wonderful place, huge portions, and very clean. Food is fantastic and the service was lovely. Just remember they are cash only. You won't be disappointed! read more

Pass. Must have cash or use a questionable ATM so we left. Place was crammed and very HOT. NOT WORTH IT FOR BASIC EGGS breakfast.

Stopped by today (Saturday) for breakfast after driving by for years. We sat on the vintage diner side. It's tight quarters from the doors to the seats. The atmosphere was friendly, Inviting, and very busy. As soon as a seat opened it was filled by another group. The food was excellent. I got the #1 breakfast and my wife got the eggs Benedict. They came up fast and were hot and very good. The bacon was more than an average breakfast restaurant would give. I will go again read more

just stopped by Lloyd's to have breakfast. I ve been raving about it and finally in the area so we stopped in place packed. we sat at a table saying 3 or more . we were waiting for 2 more. the strawberry blonde guy came to the table and said 3 or more. I said we are expecting 2 more but if they don't show up soon we will get up. his reply......DAM RIGHT YOU WILL.! I got up and left! this will be my last time there between weekend hockey games! read more

Decided to go here after taking a walk in a nearby park. Like the other reviews mention, it's not the place to go if you're looking for romance or an upscale atmosphere. It's a tiny space in an old rail car with the feel of an old diner. If you want to get food from Lloyd's, you'll have to come early! They closed at 12 noon on the day we went (Sunday). Most diners in the area don't close until 2 so it kind of threw us off. The options on the menu were great - very reasonable prices and a good breakfast selection. We took the food to go and we're surprised at how heavy the to-go boxes were. My fiancé looked at me as we were leaving and said, "I can tell they give good portions here because I have to hold these with two hands!" After finally getting home and opening the boxes, we saw that the boxes were FILLED up with deliciousness lol. Their pancakes are $3 each as a side order but it's the size of like 6 pancakes. I couldnt even finish it and I'm 7 months pregnant! The only critique I have is that the potatoes were flavorless and very oily at the bottom. I wish they would have put some type of spices (or at least salt and pepper) on them. It tasted maybe like a plain baked potato. Other than that, I really enjoyed my meal and the service. It turned into 4 actual meals and cost about $10. read more

Wow, stopped here after reading other reviews on our way between Boston and NY. Didn't look like much from the parking lot, but don't let that fool you. Quaint and cozy inside with super friendly staff. And the food....! I ordered a mini breakfast and it could have fed three of me. Even my husband who can usually eat a hearty breakfast wasn't able to finish everything on his plate. Will definitely be stopping here again. read more

The food was horrible, it was cold when we got it. Barely edible, ordered the corned beef has and it was tasted like it just came out of a can. My kids got there food last. Waitress never refilled my coffee. What a wast of $50 just stay away read more

After many frustrating, unsuccessful attempts to get in this place over the last few months,(thankfully the old management is back!!) I was finally in today.I was the first one in the door at 6:00 when he opened.After a little small talk about the history of the place,I ordered my breakfast.OMG.. what a meal it was!! Marinated steak tips and a couple of eggs over easy ,with a huge pile of home fries too.There was enough food for 2 on my plate.Sadly,I couldn't finish it all.These were by far the best tips I ever had,tender,juicy and a lot of them-delicious.I really should give it 4 1/2 stars 'cause they don't have my favorite dish....home made hash on the menu. If you love old diners like I do and want a great meal, go here,you won't be disappointed! read more

Lloyd's Diner - 3 eggs two sausages bacon home fries and toast - Diners Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

This hidden gem is an amazing breakfast stop. The portions are huge and the food is delicious. My son had an early hockey at the rink down the street so we stopped here after the game. This place is old school diner. My son ordered a pancake, just one, and he didn't finish it. He said it was awesome and asked to take the leftovers home. I ordered corned beef hash and eggs which comes with toast and home fries and I ordered a side of bacon. The side of bacon was enough for two people, I took the leftovers home. The eggs were eggs but cooked just as I requested them. The corned beef hash was good but I was a little disappointed. From previous reviews I thought it was home made. I think it was canned but doctored up enough so that it almost seemed like homemade. There were chunks of homemade corned beef and it was still really good. It kinda brought me back to my dad making it when I was a kid. I was so stuffed I barely touched the potatoes but what I ate was really good. I would 100% recommend that you go here and I will be going back. read more

First time here @ Lloyd's and it was not a disappointment. The food was good and the quantity was more than enough. I would recommend this for breakfast. read more

Amazing hole in the wall diner near Boston. The place is located inside of what looks like an old train car and they are only open for breakfast on weekends; and there's a reason for that the food and portions are awesome! Seriously the amount of food you get here is huge, and it's cheap. I had their corned beef hash which was delicious and ordered a side of sausage which was soooo worth it. The sausage links taste exactly how you would expect them to taste, delicious, and that's because they are a perfect mix of pork and fat. The hash was also delicious especially with over easy eggs on top. The food also came out in like 10 minutes; and the service was great and with a smile. Definitely happy I came here. read more

Everything you expect from a Diner! Simple menu, huge portions, friendly staff. I love the bar seating where you can watch the cook prepare the food, but if that's not your style there are plenty of booths in the dining car and in the addition. My guilty pleasure is a grilled bagel with cream cheese. It came out perfectly crispy on the grilled side and soft and warm throughout. Yes! Just what I wanted! Also got 2 scrambled eggs - pretty sure that it was 4 eggs that got scrambled. And - they crack and cook the eggs fresh, there's no big pot of mystery eggs getting cooked up. Husband got hash with eggs over easy, home fries, and pumpernickel bread. It was a huge portion! Even though we shared, ended up taking some home. The table across from us had sunny side up eggs, which looked perfect - I've seen people screw this up too many times. We came here for brunch at 10:30, and I stayed full all day (I'm finally cooking dinner at 5:30 pm). Coffee was good as well. Everyone seems to know everyone, so it's a very friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to going back. read more

The food is BOMB!!! The food is Season to perfection! And large portions!! So delicious and awesome customer service!

My favorite breakfast place. I love how cute and small it is and how friendly all the workers are! The hash browns there are my fave!

Came in on a Sunday morning and the place was packed so we waited by the bar. No one was paying any attention. A family came in after us and the waitress seated them immediately at a table that just freed up as they came in. When I said we were there first, she proceeded to very rudely tell me that she didn't know we were waiting and we should have told her. I thought it was obvious from the fact that we were standing in the hallway. After words were exchanged, she slammed the door on us and said "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" One of the worst experiences ever. Will never go there again. read more

I don't want to dump on this place too much, because lloyd's has a rough history, and a somewhat bad location (you really won't know it's there unless you look it up, or go to the tech HS). However, there's been some conflicting information here, so I wanted to take a second to post up a couple facts. 1) as someone else pointed out, the whole diner/Brazilian hybrid thing is over. I never visited lloyd's during this period, but as of December 2012, this place is just a standard diner. 2) The eggs exist in a plainly displayed plastic egg beater (or some other premixed egg substitute. didn't see the brand) carton on the kitchen counter. Some people seem to really like faux eggs, though I do not (especially since my omelet could only be described as soupy). So make your own judgement. I've talked with some locals, and some people think that you couldn't find a better breakfast, where others would rather eat rusted nails arranged in the shape of a pine cone. Regardless, I hope these two bits of info help you make up your mind. read more

I'm originally from Framingham so I had been showing my husband the town I grew up in before we embarked on our journey back to DC. We had left our hotel w/out eating breakfast, so my husband suggested we stop somewhere in my town. I immediately searched Yelp for Lloyds. It still exists! Success! The 1st time I came here was 1991. If I'm correct, that was the year Lloyds opened. I'm an original customer, and ya know what? Even though this place apparently became something else and went under new management, it still looks exactly the same. We parked and my husband voiced his doubt, who wouldn't when you pull up to an old, divey looking, red rail car? I assured him this place was great and we went inside. We were welcomed immediately by the guy at the stove, and then by our waitress, and immediately seated. Their menu is basic, kids. No eggs benedict. No crème brulee French toast, just simple, honest working man's breakfasts. We both ordered the eggs, sausage/bacon, and potatoes and settled in to wait. My husband was enthralled by the conversation the 2 obviously older blue collar men, were having at the table next to us. It wasn't so much the exact conversation, but the way they were having it. His 1st taste of the kind of characters I grew up around. And they were hysterical. Our food was in front of us about 10 minutes later, and it hit all the right spots. The potatoes were hot and homey, the eggs cooked just right, and the sausage had just the right amount of snap. Our waitress was the sweetest, and was extremely attentive. I would come back here every time we visit MA, if the trip affords it. The only disclaimer Ill give is if you decide to go here on a cold day, sit at the countertop. Their heat isn't great and that will be the warmest seat in the house. Or just dress really warm, to each his own. read more

Lloyd's Diner - Monster breakfast! - Diners Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

This is the dirtiest, rudest, unwelcoming place that I have ERVER, I repeat EVER ate. The tables where dirty and when we asked to clean them the waitress, with a Huge attitude washed them with a dirty cloth so it was worth then before. When they brought silverware it had leftover meal on them from WWII... it was disgusting. I have never seen dirtier waitresses in my life, and have been to Cambodia, and seen Russian Market. Those places looked sterilized comparing to the diner... Do not go there until they disinfect the place and change the staff. read more

People have been telling me to check this place out for years and I didn't even know it was still open! Got takeout on a Sunday morning, portion sizes are huge and food is great! (Don't expect to eat healthy.) Staff was very pleasant when I went to pick it up, would not have minded dining in! Definitely check it out for breakfast! Steak and eggs were great!! read more

Great character. Original 1940 building with added seating behind. Unique views of train tracks adds character. Counter service as authentic as it comes. Very friendly staff. Go around 10 for crunchy awesome home fries. Coffee will likely not impress, but delicious home fries and sausage make up. Just grab a coke too. Dont go expecting fancy or something its not. Its a great diner with well executed food. Pancakes at the next table looked worth trying as well! read more

Lloyd's Diner - Diners Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

The best place for breakfast. Simple menu, friendly staff and portion to price no one can beat. The breakfast is huge! I highly recommend!

The iconic local Framingham diner specializing in over-the-top breakfast/brunch. Very abundant servings of your favorite non-dieting favorites, from pancakes to omelettes, bacon and sausage. A local institution that hopefully will survive the COVID pandemic in an area of Framingham surprisingly rich in history (much of it now hidden). As of July, 2020, they have started to serve meals outside the diner (with social distancing between tables). read more
