I recently moved to West Boylston. I felt welcomed and supported throughout my time spent at the Bread and Butter Diner, in Boylston. From the time I entered the staff smiles made my day. The food was very good. They have gluten free Bagels, green tea and fruit parfaits. I enjoyed the home fries too. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Very much appreciated thank you so much! read more

I love an authentic greasy spoon diner! These are the places with the long counters and add-on sections that the ADA would never allow to be built today. It was a joy to be sitting in the old place. Got a western omelet with coffee this morning and it was everything I was hoping it would be. I'll give the French toast a whirl on my next visit. It was a busy morning, and the staff were on top of everything. It's a primarily cash joint as well, so keep that in mind. I'll do this again, for sure. read more

Bread & Butter Diner - Western Omelet ... almost forgot the photo! - Diners Near Me - Boylston, Massachusetts

This place is cash and Venmo only for anyone doing a quick peruse of reviews. I visited the botanical gardens and this place is super close so I decided to give it a go. I got eggs, home fries, bacon, toast, and 1 pancake. There's a small parking lot and service was very friendly. I waited only a few minutes and my order was taken quickly. The eggs and toast were good. The bacon was okay - just normal bacon and not overly smoky. The home fries were also good. A little smaller portion, but they were cooked well. The pancake was super fluffy and tasted really yummy with the syrup. My only gripe was that it was cooked near or on something with garlic and parsley so about a third of it didn't get eaten. I went to bite into it and it was maple garlic town in my mouth and that threw me off. However, I was nearing on full anyway so I kind of was like eh it happens. I did let the server know before I headed out for future orders and stuff but I didn't want an extra pancake or anything since I ate a good bit of it. She was super nice about it as well. I got the check and left cash on the table. It was about $21 for the meal and 2 drinks. It's a cute little spot and I would go back probably just for the pancakes and the nice service. read more

What an awesome and unexpected find - we will definitely be back for more. Surprised and delighted to find the Portuguese influence on the menu. Tried lots of new things - poutine with all of it - ham egg & Swiss croissant - Elena's eggs and home fries - Portuguese custard and the cinnamon roll - and everything was delicious. Service was great! read more

Felt welcome as soon as I walked in! Busy Sunday morning but I was able to sit at the "bar" diner area and order the yummiest item I've never , spicy chourico with eggs and house potatoes!! The ladies were so sweet and the restaurant is cute and tiny but accommodating! Gives a vintage feel! read more

Just devoured another incredible breakfast at Bread & Butter Diner in Boylston! Huge props to Cindy, Chef Chris, & the crew for consistently bringing the heat. The hash bowl was a masterpiece - fresh shredded corn beef, over-easy eggs, & a hint of horseradish crema on top of perfectly cooked potatoes. And let's not forget the Portuguese sweet bread! We are huge fans of baked beans had to give them a try, & the crispy topping was the perfect touch Chourico & fruit parfait were the perfect finishing touches. read more

The waitress told us that they would be on Chronicle soon, but having visited Bread & Butter Diner enroute to Tower Hill Botanical Garden, I can say, I knew them before they got famous! Since they had two tables outside to the side, in the shade, I popped my head in and asked if we could sit out there, and would we need to order inside first? Nope, she brought us menus and later our drinks, food and utensils. Being two light-weights, we ended up sharing a sandwich and a side and was fully satisfied. We picked the Bifana $14 (pan fried pork cutlet topped with a fried egg served with Portuguese gravy) off the lunch menu (11am-3pm), and a $5 side of hash Corned Beef) from their breakfast menu (6:30am till 3pm). With the option of French fries, chips, or pasta salad alongside the sandwich, we picked the pasta and were pleased. As we were with the juicy sandwich with its soft bread. The hash was more than the name, as the stringy corned beef looked like it would be tough, but was rather crispy in a delicious way, and dressed with egg and potatoes with a dash of vegetables. We'd definitely would be back if it wasn't so out of the way for us. read more

Decided to go to breakfast this morning only to be surprised we live near a Portuguese breakfast diner! Food - the hash was interesting, was more of an omelet mix with beef. The Portuguese Eggs Benedict was very tasty. The meat provided on the Benedict was the chef's take on Portuguese chourico, was a tad spicy but just enough for good flavor. Eggs and potato's were also done perfectly, no real issues there. Overall the food was decent and we'd like to try something else the next time we visit Service - friendly staff, we sat at the bar/counter and the waitress serving us was a champ with all the customers she had to handle. She was also very helpful in answering my questions about the dish since I'm familiar with Portuguese cuisine. Ambiance - cute little diner, didn't really get to see the seating area in the back with tables, but the counter/bar area was clean and decent. I'd say we will be back to try some other dishes and possibly come back for the bifana for lunch! read more

Stopped by Bread and Butter Diner today and it hit the spot--exactly what I needed during allergy season. I ordered the clam chowder and a side of French fries, and both were perfect. The chowder was warm, creamy, and full of flavor--soothing on a scratchy throat and comforting in every way. The fries were crispy and golden, the perfect side to round out the meal. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made it even better. Definitely coming back when I need a little comfort food and a break from the allergies! read more

While visiting the area we stopped in for breakfast, go check it out. We ordered the chicken and waffles which was very flavorful and enough for two people easy, the French toast and the Western omelet with onions, peppers, ham and cheddar cheese with a side of hashbrown potatoes and toast. The service was pleasant and helpful. We definitely plan to return. Remember they accept cash or Venmo only there. It reminded me of a local Waffle House with diner chairs and tables for families and groups. read more

Guess who showed up in Boylston Massachusetts! On the honky-tonk 140 corridor? Former head chef at Amaia and the beloved, but defunct Fish Restaurant, and Wine bar drumroll please! Chef Bairos! Looking refreshed and as passionate as ever, he has emerged in this adorable little diner to do what he does best and loves the most - cook with heart and soul, and feed people. I talked to a couple of the very happy diners here, one of them had to jump over a heaping plate of fried chicken and waffles. It was so big! It was climbing Mount Everest chicken-ness. Her mom was feasting on gluten-free French toast, and was drooling, swooning and almost convulsed. Since he cracked away on my visit, I had to go for the lobster roll. His twist on lobster roll was totally ok in my book. A hint of herbs and country mustard, packed in the buttery toasted roll... mmm so good. I didn't go with the BLT lobster roll (both specials of the day), because I wanted to just have LOBSTAH. LOTS of meat. Reasonably priced at $20.00. He's just starting, and as we expect from Chef... he's going to kill it! For now, be UBER PATIENT. The place is small, he's only been open for a handful of days and he is working on nailing down the flow, sourcing his stuff and working on his old recipes and coming up with new ones. Expect longer hours (right now only Bfast and lunch Tues-Friday), after Labor Day, when he will start opening weekends. He looks forward to dinner, his traditional plated, 3 course upper scale meal. It will be interesting to see how he pulls it off in this minute space with big heart. The home made hash was a bit messy for me, but the flavor was there (I'm not a fan of green pepper and it had quite a bit), meaty and juicy. The lobster bisque was a tad salty, but I brought home and added some cream. Delicious. Server was really sweet, but a bit off. Then again, they are learning the dance. Soon the choreo will be a Riverdance production. No doubt in my mind! There WILL be growing pains. But we know his food. The guy has a magic touch, and a great palate. Can't wait to come back. I'm coming back for bifana next!!! AND CHICKEN AND WAFFLES! Yeah. I'll be back! read more

Amazing breakfast and hospitality! This is definitely our new go to place in town! Hash Bowl was amazing and everything hot and fresh- Thanks for starting my day out right read more

Look. This place is great. Like "holy s*** I'm glad we stumbled upon this place because my mouth is happier than a seagull with a French fry." Just damn well made diner food in a big ol' portion at a reasonable price. It's got the old school charm from the mounted stools at the breakfast bar. It's got a menu of traditional old school favorites and some new surprises. The Portuguese Benedict is an awesome go-to. And I haven't eaten the pancakes, but I saw those big fluffy bastards and you are gonna need a sword and trident to deal with them, not a knife and fork. But the Bifana. Oh this f***in' sandwich. When I go to a new place, I want to get the thing on the menu I don't see anywhere else. So I got this. This beast is worth taking your time to slay strategically, savoring the messy moment of each gravy dunk. You will need extra napkins. You will need to open wide. You may "need a moment" when you are done. read more

A quaint location with excellent food and friendly, smiling staff. Nice breakfast offerings.

Stopped in here with my son for some lunch. I had asked to tweak a menu item and they were very accommodating and explained the dish and how it was prepared and were excited to share their passion. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and it came with hard boiled eggs which ended up being a very tasty embellishment. Love the quaint and pleasant atmosphere and decor too. Love this place read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! Husband and I passing by heading to NJ and stopped here for breakfast. The ambiance was busy but good quality food overall. One of my eggs was over cooked and the toast was cold but I still enjoyed it. I saw other peoples plates and it looked just as good. The server was very pleasant. Also note, it's a cash only business or you can Venmo. Our bill was very reasonable and didn't have to wait too long for our food. My husband got the meat lover omelet with French fries and it said, "it was good." Would recommend. read more

*cash only* Extraordinary diner with an incredibly kind staff in the cutest restaurant. The restaurant looks like a little house which makes it feel so homey. The first time I went here it was due to the amazing early reviews. The restaurant was pretty new at the time and I was certain that after a few months it would become super busy which was the case the second time I went. Nevertheless I was able to sit at the bar with friends. They have a wonderful menu with well priced items ($8-20) and sizeable potions with a lot of options for add ons. read more

Good food, friendly staff. Hash is good, eggs Benedict good too, and cheerful waitresses on all three visits. Accommodated a special request happily. And on our first visit, upon hearing we were celebrating a birthday, sent out a complimentary dessert to share with. I hope these folks do well. read more

Did I just enter my relative's kitchen? This diner is the epitome of hospitality. We received a warm, friendly, greeting as soon as we entered and the warmth continued until our departure. The coffee is bottomless and the servers make sure your mug is always full. Portions are generous. The hash bowl was yummy and sprinkled with a glitter of love. Same for their cinnamon roll. We're already looking forward to our next visit! Cash only, so it's time to find your piggy bank! read more

WOW! I was not expecting such excellent food when we tried this place. Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for diners and have had some pretty good food at diners as well as some disappointing ones. This place does not disappoint. I had the Bifana, which was recommended by the server. It was a pork fried cutlet sandwich with bacon and topped with a fried egg. It comes with a side of Portuguese gravy which is excellent. My egg was perfection. Lightly crispy edges and the white fully cooked and the yolk was perfectly runny, just like an over easy egg should be. The sandwich was perfectly seasoned and I would be happy drowning in the gravy :) Kudos to the chef. The diner has counter as well as tables. It is very clean and well kept up. I can't wait to go back and eat there again. Do yourself a favor and try this place. It will not disappoint. Bring cash as they are cash only. read more

I got the breakfast burrito bowl, a Portuguese muffin, hash browns, and chili with the fixings. The chili is a whole meal - very cute presentation and very tasty. A little spicy, but have some citrus to balance it out. Very very good! The breakfast burrito bowl is not spicy at all - but also yummy and a cute balance of color with the radish presentation. This place is really aesthetically cute and overall delicious - will definitely be back read more

Came from the New England Botanic Gardens. The inside is really quirky and cute! the food was divine, even the fries were well seasoned. Our waitress was so nice, split up our checks four ways and all together just in case. Everything came out to under $60 for four people, and accommodated our vegetarian perfectly too. This was our first time at the gardens and I figure any time we go in the future we'll never eat anywhere else, we're all set here! Such an awesome hidden gem I was so happy to find. Can't wait to try their Portuguese food in the future! read more
