wow! Just devoured the lemon poppyseed muffin... a 1/2 pound wonder that was light and fluffy even though it was griddled. topped with just enough icing to be sweet and tart. Lunch was a Palmer classic. it was also dinner. Thia generous burger is topped with fresh lettuce and tomato and crispy thick bacon and fried pickles to give it flavor. No condiments necessary as the flavor packs a punch from the fresh ingredients. the chicken Caesar wrap was also a home run with plenty of chicken and just enough croutons and dressing. The garlic Parm fries or house made chips are a great touch to set this little breakfast/lunch place apart from any typical place. The friendly service makes you feel like a regular even if you are from out of town! We will be back next time we visit Palmer. read more

I have driven by this place a thousand times , 1st time stoping , and I will be back . Being a Sunday I was afraid I'd have to wait a long time . Lucky I got right in . Typical old diner vibe . Wooden benches with tables , and a nice counter . I started with coffee , and I LOVED that they had nice cold creamer in a mason jar , not those little creamer . Nice touch ! I got the St Patrick's Day special bangers and mashed . Came with 2 eggs , and toast . Everything was great . My only complaint was the mashed weren't that hot . Maybe it sat a little before it was served ? Besides that , YUM ! My Daughter got the French toast with cream cheese and fresh blueberry's on top , she loved it . Good job ! read more

Forgot this used to be called Palmer Restaurant before Angels took it over. Now it is back to Palmer Restaurant and I still feel the same. Place doesn't wow me enough to want to come back every time I am in town for a haircut but good enough to want to mix it in. I did enjoy my burger, blueberries added something to it which made me think of my childhood. read more

If I lived in Palmer I would be a regular here. I just stopped in on my way from eastern Mass to upstate NY for late breakfast. Food good but what really makes it are the people. The staff behind the counter and the cook too were all so efficient and attentive to each others customers. From my vantage place at the end of the counter I even had a glimpse of the dishwasher. She had a very pleasant almost zen like way about her. Whoever is managing this place is doing a great job. I don't get out that way often but when I do next I will surely stop in. read more

Palmer Restaurant - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palmer, Massachusetts

The food unfortunately took at least 45 mins to get to the table and when it did , it was cold . When I visited it wasn't that busy to explain that. The staff seem to goof off in the kitchen. The waitress didn't seem to know the menu and then got our order wrong.Would not go back read more

Angel's has closed. The new restaurant is called The Palmer Restaurant. The breakfasts are great and it seems like Angel's. I had pancakes with two over easy eggs on top. It was delicious. The waitresses were so cordial and accommodating and were some of the prior help at Angels. All in all it was like old home week. I met the new owners and they were very charming. Some changes to the decor as the new owners begin to add their own touches. The chef is the chef from Angels. It was great having the temporary void in places to go for lunch and breakfast. Come back and see yourself! read more

The waitstaff were nice. I ordered the corned beef hash. It had no potatoes in it and it was sweet! Who puts sugar in corned beef?!! Their bacon was good. Their homefries were deep fried which I don't like. Its like having french fries for breakfast. My biggest complaint ( and the reason for 3 stars), was the sugared corned beef...yuck!! read more

This place is awesome! Super adorable from the outside with a life size Betty Boop to greet you at the entrance. Once inside, the servers are friendly and attentive. We were lucky to arrive at a time when we could get a table easily, I can imagine this is a popular place on weekend mornings! Once seated, there was everything we needed on the wall to our right; silverware, condiments and card games! I had a good feeling about the food here, even before we ordered. It took me awhile, but I went with a western omelette (pumpernickel toast), something I often order when I am super hungry and it was excellent, with big chunks of ham, red and green peppers, onions and (my choice) American cheese. My husband went with a roasted chicken salad and loved it! read more

Palmer Restaurant - Avocado Bacon Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palmer, Massachusetts

We were traveling on the Mass Pike and got hungry near the Palmer exit. Lucky us because we discovered Angel's and had an excellent lunch. I got the lunchbox special, served in a box and comes with a cookie. The turkey sandwich was so thick I made a mess attempting to eat it and only got through half. So, the box is a great idea; I just folded it shut and took leftovers to go. My husband got a burger and said it was excellent. The place was very busy and we were lucky to get last table for 2 because folks after us had to wait a bit. Service was fine, given how busy they were. Atmosphere is small but cute with utensils in jars attached to the wall at each table. This will now be our regular stop on the way home from Maine to the Catskills. It is worth the approximate one mile from the exit. read more

Best breakfast in Western Mass, hands down. They have daily specials or order off the menu. If you don't want to wait, call ahead to get on a wait list as you head there. Quality ingredients! Closed first 2 weeks in July. Limited hours but do not hesitate to go when they are open. read more

Palmer Restaurant - Poached eggs with Avacados and Tomatoes. Delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palmer, Massachusetts

I have a sister who lives in Palmer and we often look for places to eat when we're visiting. This has been our favorite breakfast spot, by far. The staff was pleasant. The food was good. But mostly we were WOWed by the card games at the tables. We played UNO while we waited for the food to arrive. The place is a little small and a little warm. But overall we were very happy. We will go back during our next visit. read more

Arguably the best breakfast anywhere, not just western mass either. I'll stack angels up there with any major city, what a gem to have in Palmer. The place is cute inside, service seems to be decent the few times I went, sometimes they're a little too busy for their own good but that's what you get with great food. read more

I cannot recommend this little diner enough. The food, the service, the atmosphere - everything was just so fantastic.

We visited Angels for the first time time today. Downtown Palmer has really changed and is updating. This gem had a line out the door to get in. Once we were seated, we were greeted by a very friendly staff who made really good recommendations. We loved the hash bowl and the farmers skillet. So great!! Prices are good. Service is excellent. We will be back. read more

AMAZING.... Everything I have had here has been outstanding. The loaded hash bowl is to die for! Everything is always fresh, and made to perfection. The wait may be a little, but the staff and service is always great! They have games at the tables which is a great touch! My all time favorite place for breakfast read more

The only drawback to this restaurant is that it is so good and popular, it is cramped during traditional popular hours. If you are gluten free, get the pancakes! When you get there, immediately tell the host you want the pancakes and they will start preparing the batter. read more

Old timey diner that retains much of that vibe blended with some modern touches. It's not a large space, thus somewhat intimate. Very creative menu with interesting twists on traditional dishes, though you can get the basics pretty straight up. Their breads are amazing. Staff is fun and engaging and provides a top quality level of service. Do be aware it's not as low cost as say a chain type place but hey, you get what you pay for. Totally worth it. read more

The thing about a star system is that it can be misleading. There are many things that make a restaurant "work", or not, and you can't effectively squeeze them all in to 1-5 stars. So right off the bat, I'll use my stars for the food.. fully meets expectations for a breakfast and lunch place. I'm not looking for creativity in such places... just execution... repeatability. Their food works. They have been one of two of our current breakfast/lunch places.. the word current indicating there have been many predecessors. The usual reason for abandoning most of those was just shooting themselves in the head... things super easy to get right but skipped. Today, we got there a full 30 min before closing. There were a couple of open tables in the smaller room and yet the very young server estimated nothing in the usual room will open up. I looked at the open tables where I stood and was told something like "And I have to close this room up", which put me at not believing the first thing either. Convenience.. and not that of the customer who went there in good faith. The data fits the theory. But forget the first thing... there were two tables at which she could have seated us. The old smoke and mirrors closing time is not a new thing. At some point, you just encounter this thing you can score... COULD serve you... 30 min left on the clock... they DO NOT... and you just stick that in the customer-hostile column. No visible effort to avoid the look they want to get out early and forego the opportunity to exploit a full restaurant right up to their actual closing time.. Convenience at the customers' inconvenience. Doesn't work for me. read more

Food, service, and setting was just what we were looking for. Small, fairly priced, clean! Looking forward to returning.

Just had my second breakfast here at angel's. I came here from Boston because I'm visiting my brother but I would make a special trip just to go to angel's for breakfast. The menu is completely unique and the food is utterly fantastic. The staff and owner are delightful and engaging. I just can't say enough about the quality of this restaurant. Superb!!! read more

Like "Cheers" everyone seems to know your name. Feels just like Mom's kitchen for her family of twelve. Any banter with servers comes right back at you, double, just like from your brother or sister. Ah, home sweet home. All of the above plus delicious food. You can't beat it!! Be prepared to wait a bit for a table. But it is worth it Try it once and you shall return !!!!!!!!! read more

Awesome!! The food was delicious and staff were friendly and attentive. Great size portions as well!!

What a great surprise and local. We had heard of how good this place was so stopped in one afternoon. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the service was exceptional. We let the waitress know this was our first time and she spent time explaining that the food was always freshly made. The menu was very well done with something for everyone and they were pleased to modify it at our request. The food was excellent. Thank you; we will be back. Ray and Linda read more

I had been hearing good things for a while. Then Covid happened. As soon as I knew Angel's was open, I made it a priority to stop in. I'm endlessly grateful that I did. The food is amazing, the service is stellar. Get there early for a table as it is very tiny. I was happy that the weather was good enough to sit outside. The specials are just so creative. I've only eaten off the menu once! It's a true gem of a place. Not common to find something so creative in a small town. read more

What an absolute gem in the heart of small town New England. Have lived in neighboring Wilbraham for 2.5 years and only just discovered this place but we will now be devoted loyals. My husband grabbed a to go order last week of a meatloaf sandwich and a chicken salad on a croissant. The potatoes they came with were to die for. The cole slaw was not the norm as it had a bit of a kick with jalapeños. Soooo good. The chicken salad was again, not the norm with pineapple and was absolutely incredible. We brought our extended family of six here the Saturday morning after thanksgiving and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. The service is top notch. To be honest, it felt like a southern diner with tons of personality-- but located here in New England. Everyone's food was fantastic. The hash, the bennys, and even a burger cooked to perfection. A foodie place that isn't formal and stuffy. Can't wait to return. Many gluten free options as well! read more

Excellent breakfast (try the signature French toast!), great service and very cool interior

This place is quite a treat. The menu offers some delightful variations to many standard dishes with 2or3 specialty pastries made on premises daily. They are open for breakfast and lunch only. No off/street parking and the outside signage says Palmer Inn with a window sign that say Angel's. The seating is tight and menu prices a bit high. Waitstaff is great and atmosphere good as is the coffee. With all this negative/positive it is a great place. I certainly will go again. Worth it read more
