Tiny's restaurant has a bar on the right, with tables and booths on the left. This was taken from the entrance.

My girlfriend and I went to Tiny's for the first time a few days ago. It was much nicer inside than I anticipated. Larger, too. Our server was young and polite. We sat at a table but were soon offered a booth when one became available, so we moved to a booth next to a window. Our young server was quite polite and seemed knowledgeable about what they served. My girlfriend doesn't eat much. She ordered a sandwich and fries with a glass of soda. Said it was delicious. I got fried clams and onion rings. The full bellies were like beer bellies on a man - BIG ones! They were cooked just right and tasted great The price was nominal. I'd recommend Tiny's to anyone who finds themselves in the Ayer/Groton area, or just wants to go for a ride in the countryside, like we did.

Stopped in for a late morning milk shake. Place was packed and we didn't want to take the last 6 top as there was only two of us so we waited for a counter spot to open up. Always great service when we stop in and today was no different! Love the decor!!

Fried oysters and Onion Rings

Excellent fried oysters and clams. Have lived in the area for years, driven by numerous times and decided to try after reading reviews praising fried clams and oysters which we have not driven to NH or Maine for in recent years. We have enjoyed fried oysters from Oregon to the Canadian Maritime Provinces and appreciate quality and preparation. I can affirm that we do not need to consider any other place besides Tiny's for our fried clam or oyster fix. In addition, my wife felt the sweet potato fries were the best she ever had. Tina was our most congenial, helpful, competent server. We will definitely return. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g29526-d901516-r984932361-Tiny_s_Restaurant-Ayer_Massachusetts.html#

Country Fried Steak

The true essence of a home town restaurant, The food has great flavor and is quick to the table. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the area and will recommend some really delicious desserts. The place is nothing like the name it is in the corner of 2 roads and there is more seating than you would expect, Give it a try worth the stop.

Love old time diners!

After several recent visits, I am revising my initial review of Tiny's and adding a fourth star because their service is outstanding as is their breakfast sandwich. But most important when I asked that the English muffin be toasted extra well done and the bacon be extra crispy; they were! If like me you like traditional diners, you'll love Tiny's!

Apparently Karyn would had worked at "Dan's Place" bought the place from Dan a few years ago, and…read morechanged the name to "Karyn's Kitchen". I'm not sure who Dan was, but it still seems to be veteran friendly. I stopped by here one day at 1:45pm for a late lunch, only to be disappointed that they close at 2pm. I decided to come back another day and ordered a BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with a side of cole slaw. The slaw was deliciously sweet and with the right amount of tanginess. I'd say more similar to KFC cole slaw than not. The half-pound of ground beef made the burger a clear winner for me. Shredded (vice sliced) cheese added to the visual appeal, though the 2 thinly sliced pickles was disappointing. I suppose I was expecting a pickle spear, but in any case it was very filling. I convince my colleagues that Karyn's wasn't bad. So my colleague suggests going together. I ordered a Pastrami sandwich with cole slaw and extra pickels. My sandwich comes with 3 thinly sliced pickles. I suppose technically 3 pickle slices is 50% more than 2, but come on...just one extra pickle? LOL. Not a deal breaker at all, but then I'm told that they don't have anymore cole slaw, so I get the onion rings instead. When the checks come out, I attempt to pay my bill only to find out I had received one of those Random Acts of Kindness. That totally took me off guard. I've been challenged to pay it forward. Challenge Accepted! I'll update this review to describe it.

I had been wanting to try Suzie's Diner for a while and I'm glad I finally found the time to stop…read morein for breakfast! It's a little small inside, but there was no wait for a table and we sat ourselves as instructed (we ended up being asked to move to a smaller table as we sat at the only table available when we arrived and it was a 5 top; we were happy to move). The coffee was excellent and I chose the Sue's Hash Omelet with hash browns and sourdough toast. The toast was a little cold, but the omelet and hash browns were tasty and perfectly seasoned. My partner will write his own review, but he enjoyed his waffle as well! The service was great with an attentive and friendly waitress, and we're ready for a return visit!

** Patty Melt review **…read more Roadside eatery in a tiny strip plaza. Outside, it looks nothing like the classic New England train car style or New Jersey stainless steel style diners, but inside are countertop with stools, booths around the outskirts, and the hustle and bustle giving it a strong diner vibe. Like my visits to many diners, I was here on my patty melt quest. -- Patty Melt: First, the composition is faithful to the prototype, with a quarter pound patty (no smashburger nonsense), rye bread (no sourdough decoy), buttered (not merely toasted), and with the classic Swiss cheese, sautéed onions and thousand Island dressing. No fusion, no reinvention, no omissions, no hipster jive. Good crispness and butteriness on the bread, great melt on the cheese, and noticeable softness to the onions. Most importantly, the beef could be ordered medium rare, and they executed. More softness, with gushing juices and a really pleasing bite. I suspect nothing special to start with, but they cooked it to near perfection. Only quibble would be not much crust to the patty, but not as critical on a patty melt. -- Fries: I could have had tots or a few other options, but fries were fine. Almost certainly frozen, but the skin-on variety and not the dreaded coated kind. Nothing special, but good enough. Service was adequate. It seemed like everyone was prepping to get everything gathered and cleaned for closing about 90 minutes earlier than necessary, but that didn't detract. If anything, it shows initiative and hustle. Not much data to go on, but an easy 4 for me.
