It's a diner with a great diner atmosphere. Cute bar area with stools. If you go to a diner, plan on gaining 5 pounds. The food options are good but the choices we usually make our heavy. I ordered a special - it was refried beans with salsa and eggs - oh my, it was awesome. My better half got Elvis pancakes which was pancakes with peanut butter and chocolate chips - oh ya, he brought half home. Every once in a while you've got to eat diner food. It is fun and worth the 5 pounds you will gain. read more

We are not from the area but this is our second time coming here. The food was really good. It was a Saturday so there was a wait. But not long. Once seated our waitress was great and we got coffee and she took our order. Food came out in a blink. Everything was great! Classic diner feel! Oh, and the blueberry muffins to die for! read more

Only been here for breakfast as this is our go to spot. Has that 50's diner vibe and the wait to get in is a sure sign of what you would expect...... great food. We love coming here, don't love the wait, but we have come to accept it. Highly recommend Dave's read more

Good solid diner food! Had eggs ben., and waffle with blueberries. Service efficient and hospitable despite being very busy. Will be back if we come back to this area. read more

Nice cozy 50's themed diner with friendly service and fantastic food ! The staff at this diner will always greet you with a smile and the coffee comes piping hot, they run daily specials that are always just as delicious as their regular menu, can get pretty busy here but it's always worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Wonderful service and great breakfast! Needs to expand business. Too small for the business they get.

Just great for breakfast. Awesome service. Always great quality food with generous size servings

Hubs and I stopped in on our way off the Cape on a Saturday morning. We were the 3rd couple in the entranceway, but heard there is often a line out the door. Tables turn over quick, and we were seated before we knew it. I got the country fried chicken special with strawberry mimosa (also special for the day, not regularly on the menu). Both were awesome. Hubs got the Elvis pancakes - waitress confirmed that he actually wanted all three. Despite his healthy(!) appetite, he still walked out with two of the three pancakes in a to-go box. Service was quick and super friendly, delivered with a MA accent. We loved it. read more

Dave's Diner - All three Elvis pancakes (without bananas). We left with 2/3 in a to-go bag! - Diners Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

I really really wanted to like this place. During the 4th of July holiday weekend, My husband and I went to this restaurant twice. I chose the restaurant because of its large menu offerings and great yelp reviews. Each time we went to eat there was a line of people waiting to be seated. There is no pre-seating area so people sort of stand in between the two sets of double doors waiting to be seated. There is no official wait list so people just sort of mill around the entrance waiting to be seated. At first this made me ancy, but the wait went by relatively quickly both times. The first time we went for breakfast. My friend had a keto friendly omelette that she loved. My husband had the blueberry pancakes which he was fond of as well. I had two eggs over medium, sausage and a grilled english muffin. I asked them not to give me home fries, but they forgot. My husband ended up eating them. Overall my food was just okay as the english muffin was more doughy than nooks and crannies. Service was quick friendly and efficient. Afterward, both my husband and I had upset stomachs that required us to be near a bathroom. My friend didn't have any issues. We chalked it up to be being on vacation and the heat. As this was one of the highest rated yelp establishments in our vacation area we decided to go back. Again we waited a little bit but were very quickly seated. Many of the reviews talked about the fried chicken so my husband and I each ordered a plate. The mash potatoes, carrots and coleslaw were just okay. The chicken gravy had a tang to it that my stomach would later admonish me for eating. The chicken was tasty and spiced well. Again the service was impeccable, and the waitress very sweet and efficient. Fast forward to next day, both my husband and had severe indigestion and stomach issues. It took two servings of pepto, tums and alka-seltzer each to calm our stomachs. I don't think it was food poisoning per se, but perhaps improper food handling procedures. I'm giving it two stars because they really do have great service. read more

I was on my way home from Cape Cod with a hungry 2 year old and decided to pull over and search for a nearby breakfast joint. This was the first place that popped up so I decided (given the great reviews) that this was the place to spantaneously try. We pulled in and I was pleasantly surpised to see that this was an actual retro style diner, really cool looking on the outside and the inside! It was a Sunday morning around 10AM and the way was around 35-40 minutes, but luckily they have buzzers and you can wait in your car which is a totally convenient option. It was a beautiful day so we waited outside. Fast forward to the service, it was excellent. Our server was so friendly and so attentive. She gave us a coloring page, crayons, and a child friendly cup of lemonade. Safe to say that this place is child friendly. The kids menu was affordable and the chocolate pancake I ordered for him was more than filling. I got the 2 eggs and homemade hash- 5 stars for the hash alone. The hash was the best I've had in a long time. One thing worth mentioning is the variety of cocktails they have on the menu. I had a nutty irishmen and it was delicious! If I'm ever in the area again I will most definitely be back. read more

Just okay spot for breakfast. We were seated outside and they had their wood burning fire place going. It caused smoke in our face the whole time we were there. Our clothes smelled like we were camping. Food was just okay. read more

Comfort food at its finest. The food is pretty basic but hearty and filling. Needs to step it up a notch in the seasoning department in my opinion but it's nothing some salt and pepper won't fix. The service is usually ok. It ranges. Can be SUPER busy on weekends. I don't suggest going unless you like standing outside in the cold ( if its around the colder months) as they don't like the doors kept open (understandable). All in all a nice place you feel at home eating and will always be back! read more

Great food never had a bad meal.. my kids love this place. Wish they were open longer is my only complaint

So good. The staff is amazing, No matter how busy it can be in there I guarantee you will always be satisfied with the service and food. Karen waited on us last time we were in there she is an absolute doll.... read more

Hey I'm stopping in I dunno where I am. A Manhattan made by a real bartender. Christ this is good stuff. I think I'll order half onion rings. Oh my God I can't believe how delicious and the size I'm taking half of this home. What the heck can I do next I'm getting blitzed from the Manhattan. I can't eat too much I got a work tonight. Ok. I'll try the small salad. I can't imagine. And Amy Sharpe's croquette it is. Here we go... skipped the salad.. this is an early-bird-special.. I don't think so read more

On our drive back from the Cape, we were suddenly craving breakfast food. A quick search on google for "all day breakfast near me" lead us to Dave's-- let me tell you, it was like fate. The food was delicious and the old-timey diner decor was so cute! Service was friendly and fast, and we left with our breakfast cravings satisfied. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Dave's Diner - Malted Waffle and Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

Always a great solid meal that fills you up and gets you through the day. Great selection on the menu of breakfast staples (eggs, omelettes, pancakes, waffles) cooked perfectly. Coffee is always hot and plentiful. Right now they are only open for breakfast which is a shame because there dinners were really good. read more

Always good for breakfast lunch or dinner and if Covid and the weather permits - outside seating is a plus never disappointed

Loved the oldies diner feeling. Service was quick and friendly. Went for breakfast - home fries delicious but omelette was just okay.

Breakfast was mediocre, not bad. The place was very busy. The steak tips were ok, the sunnysideup eggs were good. Lots of potatoes. My wife's pancake was heavy and dense. Her scrambled eggs were rubbery and overdone. She really didn't like the overseasoned home fries. The standard faux 50s diner decor is a bit overdone. We won't return. read more

The place is too busy for people to be friendly, even if they make a mistake and cross your name off the waitlist and seat people that came after you before you get a seat. The food was good so you decide if it worth the wait. read more

On my way to Plymouth with my family, we were very hungry until we came upon this magnificent place. Even with my NY Yankees plates , we were welcomed by the friendly hostess and taken to our outdoor seats. Samantha, our waitress was fantastic and explained the breakfast special. The best part of the diner was the food. Everything was perfect. I was even tempted to buy their homemade muffins but my stomach was so satisfied that I passed. Kudos to DAVE's diner from a bonified New Yorker. read more

Food was great yet, very unfortunate that the people there are very racist and were very unwelcoming! First time visiting from California and sadly made my trip very disappointing. All I have to say is only locals and Caucasians are welcomed here only. Glad to say I'm from California where everyone is welcomed. Hope to never visit a restaurant like this ever again. read more

Food is always good. A bit pricey but worth it. Wish they would go back to serving more than just breakfast.

If I could give a zero rating I would. I went there yesterday January 4th 2021 and the waitress we had was towering over us saying we had to leave as there was a 90 minute limit and there was a line. There was no line and we were only there 60 minutes. I will never go there again. read more

So it's been years, read well over a decade, that I've been able to get to Dave's Diner but at last we made it there yesterday, for a rather late breakfast. Arriving at 1:30, and having awoken for work at 3:45, I was really tempted to try Rick's (and many other posters') well received chicken croquettes but once I saw that they had blueberry muffins, my mind was changed. Two of us got the 2 eggs meals; one with no meat and mine with bacon and a toasted blueberry muffin in lieu of toast. The wife got porky's skillet. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was quick and efficient. The only thing I could question was the price of the Porky's skillet vs my 2 eggs and bacon breakfast: the food was very much the same minus substituting linguica for my bacon and the addition of cheese on the skillet but the price was a few bucks more. Not the end of the world but it literally looked like my breakfast in another dish with the eggs on top and some cheese. Will we be back? For sure but with a decent showing got breakfast and lunch over here in Plymouth, it may be a bit of time (hopefully not 14 years though). read more

Despite what's going on right now, Dave's Diner continue to serve food with same consistency as dining in. When you get takeout the plastic containers tend to sweat because of the hot food. Dave's Diner seemingly paid attention to that detail and got boxes with little vents, so that the takeout doesn't sweat and is almost the same as dine-in. The best diner we've experienced so far in MA. read more

We LOVE coming to Dave's diner! It's such a treat to be greeted by the waitresses. They are so incredibly sweet it's hard to say without sounding like I'm exaggerating, but they are. My daughter says "they have the best milkshakes in the world!" And then proceeded to order another one to go. I always get chicken and waffles - it's the best. Worth skipping lunch for! read more

Best breakfast in the area....definitely in Middleboro! They also offer lunch and dinners with delicious stick to your bones dishes. They have daily specials and lots of different options on their menu, definitely something for everyone here! And if you like they have cocktails, beer, & wine. Great food, service, and atmosphere! read more

Excellent food & service. We've been going to Dave's Diner since it opened many years ago! It's an old fashioned diner,comfortable & inviting! Chicken Pot Pie is the best anywhere! read more

Atmosphere and service was top notch, very 80's. The food was ok, kind of expensive, good for a quick bite

Only place in the Taunton area to get good breakfast all day. Chili omelet always hits the spot and the coffee is good :) only Complaint is there apple pie was not as sweet as I like it to be read more

We're from New Jersey, the diner capital of the world. These kinds of places dot the landscape back home, so our standards for diners are pretty high, you're not going to impress us with a nostalgic theme alone! With that being said, Dave's checks all the boxes, good food, reasonable prices, quick service and a friendly staff. The place was hopping on the Friday night we were in for dinner, and there was no outdoor seating available, but we were seated in a booth within about 5 minutes. Orders were taken quickly, and the food arrived soon thereafter. My oldest had a very good banana pancake which he polished off, while my youngest had a foot-long hot dog with chips. The wife had two eggs over easy with hash browns, which she wasn't terribly fond of (the potatoes weren't seasoned and were almost sweet. Not bad, just not what she is used to). I had the fried chicken at the waitress's suggestion. She did not steer me wrong. It was crispy on the outside without losing any of the moisture in the meat, perfectly done. The sides did not match the entree, however. The biscuit was a bit dry, the mashed potatoes were okay, and the cole slaw wasn't very good at all; dry and flavorless, almost like plain shredded cabbage. Still, all in all this was a very solid meal, and the price was certainly right. They also have root beer on draft, something I didn't come to realize until I was leaving. Would've loved to try it! If I find myself in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop back in. read more

Visiting Rhode Island from Boston and hunger takes over during trip. No good vegetarian options in road while we saw Dave's diner in map. Good old place with good diner vibes. Lot of local folks with family around. Good for brunch and breakfast. Good tomato cheese grill and awesome milk shake. read more

It's been some time since my first review. Not much has changed about the place over the years since I found the diner. It's the same great menu, service and atmosphere that it's always been. Enough on the menu to never get tired of it seemingly always having the same items available. Some of the booths sink a bit when sitting, perhaps a little maintenance to work that out. But it's not enough to keep me from going back. In comparison to many diners I've eaten at, this has to be at the top of the list. Looks great outside, but you're doing it wrong if you just stand out there staring at it. read more

My girlfriend and I have made it our Sunday morning tradition to head to Dave's half-asleep for a nice, greasy breakfast. And coffee. Everything I've gotten from here has been delicious. There's been a wait every morning that we've gone, but it moves pretty quickly. AND while you're waiting to be seated, why not take a gander at the breakfast specials written on the chalkboard above the bar?! I've gotten the rotary sandwich a couple of times, which is just your basic egg, meat, cheese sandwich on your choice of toast, bagel or english muffin. This morning I got an omelette with mushroom, linguica and onion that was yummy. I always have to go with a grilled bagel on the side, too. I don't know what it is about grilled bagels, man. The breakfast menu is pretty expansive, so everyone can find something. My only complaint about the food is the home fries. They're just not for me. I like my home fries more well-done than Dave's does them, but that's just my personal preference so I can't say that they're bad. The service is great, your waitress will constantly be checking up on you and refilling your coffee for you. Whether you ask for a refill or not. We went here for dinner once. We both got burgers that were pretty good, but I don't like to tarnish my breakfast place by going there for other meals. It doesn't feel right. Overall, Dave's provides you with a really cool old-fashioned diner atmosphere, great service, and top notch breakfast food. You should go. read more

Dave's Diner - We both needed to take pictures before devouring. - Diners Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

Awesome wait staff and the food is to die for! I highly recommend this place! Very generous portion sizes with an even better price!

I am traveling and staying in the area. I noticed the diner from the road and was looking to get some dinner. I was seated right away. The waitstaff service was great! The first night I had a bowl of chili which I have to say was maybe the best chili I ever had. Delicious! Then I had a cheeseburger with mashed potatoes as a side. Once again the burger was a good size and it tasted delicious. One of the best burgers I ever had. The prices are very reasonable. The second night I wanted to try something different, I ordered the grilled buffalo chicken salad. It was a very generous portion and the salad was done right with plenty of chicken, blue cheese, onions, cucumbers , lettuce and bacon. Great meal and once again reasonably priced. When I return to this area I will definitely come here for dinner as well as any other meal. They serve breakfast all day too. read more
