    Oreo pie!!!
    Kassidi D.

    Best diner in town, family, good food and it gives you the diner vibes you need. Local spot where when you walk through the doors the waitresses remember you by name, your order, and the food is always amazing every-time you go! I also get the veggie supreme egg white omelette - They also have the best pies for the holidays!!! Oreo pie is legit my favorite and barely makes it to dessert!

    Best place for something simple direct two over ease. Home fries buttered toast coffee. bingo

    Even when it's busy you can't help the to enjoy the professionalism and the staff. Everybody had a job to do and they did it well

    Early Harvest Diner - Jay's Favorite Plate- very good

    Early Harvest Diner in Wakefield, MA is a solid neighborhood breakfast spot with a…read moresmall-to-medium-sized dining room and a good amount of seating. They offer regular table seating, counter seats, and booths. The booths, however, are pretty uncomfortable--despite having a cushion, you immediately feel the wooden board underneath when you sit down, which takes away from the experience a bit. We went around 11:00 AM on a Saturday and were seated quickly with no wait, though I can imagine on a busier morning there could be a decent wait time given the diner's size. The menu has a good variety, but pricing can be a little confusing. Some menu prices don't always reflect the final cost due to fluctuating egg prices. There is a sticker noting this, but it's easy to miss and may not be obvious to customers. We ordered the steak and eggs, which came out to $20 and was cooked nicely to a true medium rare. The hash browns weren't overdone and had a great crunch on the outside. The pancake we tried was very fluffy, and their iced coffee was genuinely delicious. We also ordered the Double Double, which also cost $20 and offered a decent portion of food for the price, along with sausage links as a side. They do offer real maple syrup for waffles or pancakes, though it costs extra. One thing I found to be a flaw is that the maple syrup and ketchup on the table had no labels--personally, I like knowing the brand or ingredients of what I'm eating. The same went for the hot sauce they offered; it was served in an unlabeled glass bottle. It tasted very similar to Frank's RedHot and had the same consistency, but it would be nice to know for sure. The staff is kind and attentive when it comes to taking your order and delivering food, but once the plates hit the table, check-ins are minimal. If you need something, you may have to flag someone down. Parking isn't bad since it's located in a plaza, and there's additional parking in the back if the main lot fills up. Overall, Early Harvest Diner is a nice place to grab breakfast with your family or significant other without breaking the bank. The food quality is solid, but the vibe could benefit from a refresh to feel a bit more cozy and modern.

    Isaac greeted my friend and I when we arrived for breakfast and recommended the corned beef hash…read morewith eggs on top. It's homemade and was a really good recommendation! The corned beef is large chunks, not small diced pieces found in most commercial and canned hash. The potatoes, peppers, and onions gave a nice texture and flavor. I had it topped with two over medium eggs which were perfectly cooked. As I was eyeing the French toast, he gave me a single piece which included their fruit infused whipped cream and was really, really good! That might be my entree next time. My friend got the crepes and her face was doing happy expressions while she was eating. My new best friend Maria kept my coffee mug full-she visited the table frequently to make sure my mug never got low nor cold. She also took care to clean the table promptly as plates were finished. Now if my kids could learn that... oh wait, this is a diner review. The ambiance is cute and chic. There was easy access to accommodate wheel chairs and they have their menu clearly marked for gluten free available and vegan options (most of the menu). The menu is on the fancier side; they will prepare whatever someone wants (e.g. if someone just wants 2 eggs and bacon, they can easily do that). The location is on Main St. so parking is hit or miss. If you are nearby and want something good, this is a good option!

Our server was great, bringing my daughter toys to keep her busy while the food comes out. Now let's get down to the food.. El Franco: this burger was super good and the chicken was juicy. It consists of chicken parm, and mozzarella cheese. It was a great burger and I highly suggest this burger. Smoked Chicken Wings: these wings are some of the best I've had! My whole family loved them which is super rare, so I know it's legit lol. Be sure to get these as an appetizer before your main dish, you won't be disappointed. Chourico Cubano: I really enjoy their take on a Cubano sandwich. It had pulled pork, ham, pickles, mustard of course and some cheese. It was very light and good. The flavors went well together and it was a great sandwich. Malasadas: we can hear specifically for these as I'm from Hawaii and wanted to try their take on this fried donuts. They didn't disappoint and my daughter love it. The bourbon caramel house was outta this world. I could have ate 3 more sides of that sauce lol. Highly recommend this as a dessert. We will definitely be back again!! Be sure to give this restaurant a try if you're in the area.
