Really prototypical diner! Just incredibly busy, but sound bites is currently undergoing renovations so that’s to be expected. Got the #7 special- good value, decent food! They didn’t have any black tea, which was a disappointment, but I’ll give grace and assume they’d run out in the rush.

This is such a cute little corner diner. I enjoyed the service and the decorations reminded me of a 90s diner. However the food was lack luster. I order corned beef hash where ever I go. I know that this is a dish often catered to a person's palate but I have to say the flavor was not there nor was the quality. Very mushy and did not have the enjoyable savory flavor. The toast was the best part which is unfortunate cause I paid for a full breakfast to just enjoy the toast.However, although I probably won't be visiting again do not let it stop you from enjoying a sandwich or other items. I'll include a menu and pictures of the restaurant and area.

Venturing into the heart of our neighborhood, I finally made my way to the iconic Kelly's Diner, a place I'd been meaning to visit for years. The diner's fame was immediately apparent upon arrival, as evidenced by the considerable queue of patrons eagerly waiting outside, despite the hour nearing the diner's closing time. Fortuitously, we managed to secure one of the last available seats for the day, just in the nick of time.Our order consisted of the classic French toast and the weekend special egg Benedict. Both dishes lived up to our expectations, delivering on taste and, notably, on portion size. The servings were so generous that we found ourselves requesting boxes to take home the leftovers, a testament to the diner's value.What truly captured my heart about Kelly's Diner was the ambiance. It was like stepping into a time capsule, with an atmosphere that harkened back to the quintessential '90s and the essence of old American life, reminiscent of scenes from a classic TV show. This nostalgic vibe, combined with the hearty meals, made for a memorable dining experience.

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the greater Boston area. Delicious food and quick service, just remember to bring cash and some quarters for the meters nearby! Staff is friendly but not overbearing despite the close quarters, plus they're very quick with orders and help if you need anything. I've never been disappointed by the food here and its one of my go-to restaurants to bring guests when they visit from out of town. My usual is the challah French toast, which is perfectly cooked and sweet. The home fries are amazing too. So don't miss this place for the perfect "home cooked" breakfast.

1st time at Kelly's - Ann(e) was our server. Classic diner food, atmosphere, and vibe. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the scally toast was a great recommendation from Ann(e). Solid all around. The only thing I would change is that they close at 2 but it's worth getting up early for. A must try when in

Food was pretty mediocre. Potato home fries were mushy and had no color. Eggs benedict was tasty--hollandaise was good, eggs properly cooked. Plate could have used something green or fruit, something to lighten the meal. the soft, pillowy eggs benny + mushy home fries left me underwhelmed.
