    Hash & eggs being prep'd
    Rooty T.

    Lou's diner is a charming and perfect place to step back in time for a hearty, yet reasonably priced meal. For example, two eggs cooked to order, a nice sized portion of hash, home fries, toast, and coffee is only $7. Both breakfast and lunch selections are limited, but enough variety to satisfy most if not everyone. Two of us had breakfast around 9:00am on a Tuesday morning, it wasn't too busy. One person managed all roles. (waiter, cook, and cashier). The place is primarily a counter with about 10 seats, and 4 or 5 two-person booths. So when breakfast was ready, our food was placed on the bar for us to retrieve. Coffee refills? No problem. Simply go behind the counter and help yourself.

    Excellent breakfast; my go-to diner. Great workers, and good prices. Highly recommend if you want a good breakfast.

    Solid diner... but the best fries I've had in New England. Crispy on the outside, fluffy within. The Platonic ideal of a french fry.

    We went there today not exactly knowing what we were hungry for. It was already after 1 PM. The…read moreplace was packed today when we got there. We opted for a corner table. I ended up having breakfast, which consisted of a Greek omlet with spinach, black olives and feta cheese. I had rye toast, home fries and coffee. Delicious. My partner had a Swiss patty melt with a side of thin onion rings. We both had coffee today. I have never eaten here where the food was not top notch. Unfortunately for us, we could have had their prime rib, if it was after 4 PM, but we were early. The menu is extensive and all I can say is that there is something on there for everyone, no matter what you like to eat. It has always been a soft spot in my heart because the owner is awesome and his workers are fantastic. I will add a picture of my breakfast (of course after I had started eating it!). You need to stop by at some point.

It was brought and just dropped then the girl proceeded to turn to the people begging us and have a lengthy conversation. mind you no extra plates to share this and there was no chicken and no Parmesan cheese. just lettuce with the dressing . Then my granddaughter ordered the turkey sandwich with no bacon please it came mayonnaise and onions. I've never had a sandwich with onions on it. My order was for the buffalo quesadilla and it was $17 and I will tell you they cut it in fourth which is OK but when I had to lift up one to add some salsa there were two small pieces of chicken about the size of dice. I checked the other three slices. They were very similar. I don't think I had to 2 ounces of chicken on that. It was NOT worth that kind of money.

For the record: under the ADA (and Massachusetts law, which follows it), a business can ask exactly two questions -- is this a service animal required due to a disability, and what task is it trained to perform. That's it. No vest, no ID card, no paperwork required, full stop. I said as much, was met with attitude, stepped out to keep the peace, came back in with documentation anyway (which I didn't legally owe him), and got a passive-aggressive "well you could've shown me that at the beginning" -- followed by a genuinely bizarre stare-down over the counter. Charming. Then, while waiting on my order, I made the mistake of taking a video of the (admittedly cute) interior -- 100-year-old diner car, hard not to want a keepsake -- and got yelled at for filming, with a pointed accusation that my brother outside was "also filming," said like it was a crime. Meanwhile this place has an active social media presence built on customers doing exactly that. You can't crowdsource your Instagram content and then treat a phone camera like a weapon. Oh, and the hot dog itself: $5 for a boiled dog on white bread, no toasting, no char, nothing. A sad little snack to cap off a genuinely unpleasant interaction. The building has real history. The guy behind the counter does not deserve it.

    Emphasizing the positives here…read more Absolutely characteristic, think Twin Peaks. A tad overconfident perhaps* though the steak tips \italics{were} excellently temperatured, and accompanying breakfast eggs "over medium", though properly done (+1), where themselves of the most discount quality one can find anywhere. All other vittles were edible, let's say. Ambience again, utterly characteristic, almost a world apart. The beautiful plastic serving baskets lent an aire of Summertime freshness; equally aesthetic were the matching red naga booth and barstool leathers; if the franchise is going for retro diner chic - totally nailed it (+1). *A note on the prices, which any Tom, Dick, or Harry can see are plainly served above their rank. $4.25 for the thinnest 'coffee' you've ever had, literally no taste and I am a great lover of coffees of all varieties. What are we paying for? That's boutique espresso chain pricing for a boutique cappuccino. Incidentally the menu does offer a 'cappuccino' but the waterboy informed our table that in fact there may be found no on-prem espresso machine. 18$ hamburger sandwich of the poorest quality components, patty so thin, bun so uninspired. What are we paying for? Actual conversations with actual customers yielded the following hilarious actual quotations**: "A not-good airport restaurant not in an airport, but with airport prices." [sic.] -actual customer "You can go and get a big juicy delicious half lb burger at a Boston gastropub for those prices. I've never had a worse hamburger." [sic.] -actual customer I'm embarrassed to include literal figures, something I would never normally do, and it displeases me to give a local establishment such a poor elevation. One doesn't mind tending a pretty penny in a tasteful offing, but the numbers you see here suggest terms like "egregious" and "predatory", and a quick glance at other reviewers shows much similar sentiment. ** I myself can attest to patronage in each case. All statements made herein were made voluntarily, and submitted with full understanding and consent.

The atmosphere is great, the employees were super friendly and nice to us as well as themselves. I liked the way they communicated to eachother, it shows that they have a organized work ethic back there. The food came out fast, and the quality of food was great! Smoked salmon Benedict - 8/10 This is my first time having eggs Benedict! I am impressed at the size of this thing! The smoked salmon is fresh and delicious, goes really well with the sauce. The egg is a soft sunny side up egg, but I think traditionally it's suppose to be poached but it still tasted good. The hollandaise sauce itself was okay, didn't have enough flavor in my opinion but nice consistency. The potatos were nice and crisp! Chicken and Waffles - 8/10 The best chicken and waffles ever! The waffle is HUGEEE and super fluffy and crisp on the outside. I love these waffles! The chicken itself was okay, definitely didn't taste fresh. Overall, this is a great diner. Lots of options for everyone and personally I'm not a breakfast person but I still enjoyed my experience here!
