I'd rather come here than the few diners in Melrose. The food, seating, and service are just superior.

It was amazing. Just like the movie. I mean it was amazing like the movie was amazing, it didn't taste like the movie, that would be weird! but actually maybe it did taste like the movie???? I guess you'll just need to go and find out if it's amazing food or an amazing film....

A little hard to find since all the photos show a red diner, but the building itself is grey. Food makes up for it though, the banana French toast was super good and we enjoyed their home fries a lot. On the interior it's a very classic diner, small and cozy. We'll be returning for sure!

Average American diner food. I prefer the side potatoes to come seasoned.They went the extra mile to get me a blueberry muffin from the freezer for a grilled muffin. My scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked.I appreciate the stellar staff, organic eggs and watching the fresh squeezed orange juice machine was fantastic. They have several eggs Benedict options!The atmosphere of this diner screams small old town charm but all the seating and decor are new and fresh.Conveniently located on the bike trail.Free parking lot.Parking: Small free parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu options include character pancakes.

Bland food. Not a lick of seasoning in anything. It felt like an Old folks home meal. I was taken aback on how the “home fries” were almost raw. I asked for a more cooked side of “home fries” and I received a plate of the same exact thing. I gave almost half my food back & no one even questioned why. Ordered the basket case and the only thing I ate fully was the Belgium waffle and the chicken sausage. Nothing that needed any thought to make. Only reason why I did not openly express my disgust is that I was at the bar area and the cook is right there.I came here when it was in the Allston location and I definitely don’t remember the food tasting this subpar. Atmosphere is cute though!

Nothing about this breakfast was enjoyable.The parking lot is small with a weird layout and a striped pedestrian path running through it. Even just trying to park was a frustrating and confusing experience.Once we got through the door it was unclear if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated as there was no sign or host. After 3 tables worth of people were behind us near the doorway did a waitress finally direct us to a table.We ordered 2 coffees and 2 waters to start. A single water arrived as we were finishing our meal, along with the coffee warm ups that were promised halfway through breakfast. Considering there's less than 20 tables at at least 3 wait staff, this was simply unacceptable. The coffee warmups were hastily poured and coffee quickly on the table.We both got "the teacher". The highlights of the meal were the sausage and bacon, both of which warrant giving credit to the manufacturer and not the chef. The rest of the meal was fantastically bland. The wheat toast had a gummy chewy texture that somehow made it difficult to eat. The potatoes had a nice crisp, but that's not enough to save the meal. The blueberry muffin so lightly grilled that there was no carmelization and nearly all of it was cold as though it had just been pulled from the fridge. I had a feeling it was going to be bad when the waitress asked if I wanted it grilled. So no love for the kitchen either. I would have been happier going to McDonald's and eating an egg McMuffin in my car.As for the place itself? It's cute and clean and has nice diner vibes. But the other patrons were annoying and obnoxiously loud. And it's a small spot so there's lots of echoing. Not a great experience here either.I'm not fussy about places to eat. But the only thing saving this place from a single star across the board is that it wasn't dirty or unsafe. Frankly, I'd take dirty and unsafe with better food than whatever this place is trying to make happen. I won't be back.
