Love all their food especially breakfast items. It's all good. Not your typical diner..... It's not a greasy spoon. Excellent quality all around. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is the standard chatter and some music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you hit it right the Red Sox will be on TV![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I find the service very good. Nice that they have adequate staffing on the real busy times of day. read more

** Patty Melt Review ** [[HIGHLIGHT]]Centrally located diner on Mount Auburn Street. Just like your childhood amusement park, a little run down but still fun to visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lengthy menu. Open griddle. Stools, tables, booths. -- Patty Melt: A bit of a diversion from the classic, with a choice of bread, gobs of bright orange cheddar (odd but doable), and a very moist pile of caramelized onions (very good). I steered it back to mainstream with rye, which was lightly buttered and griddled. Beef ordinary of flavor (neutral), but cooked to a juicy medium rare (pretty good). -- Fries (with the patty melt): Plentiful, dark, extra crisp (overcooked), and with many broken short ones (a half inch or shorter). Nevertheless, a decent serving. -- Coleslaw (with the patty melt): Very thin sliced and crisp, with very little dressing. Overall, a decent enough visit with no real highlights, lowlights, or lowlifes. An easy 3. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant with my family for nearly 20 years, and I have always enjoyed both the food and the service. That is why my visit last week, my first in more than a year, was so disappointing. I came with a friend visiting from California, and from the moment we walked in, the experience felt completely different from what I remembered. We were not greeted when we entered. When we reached our table, a young, unprofessional woman who seemed to be running the show came over and literally threw the menus at us. We were genuinely taken aback. About 30 seconds later, another server came over and asked whether we were ready to order, before we had even had a chance to read the menu. It felt rushed and disorganized. When my coffee arrived, the server spilled it on both the table and the floor near my feet, then walked away without cleaning it up. At the end of the meal, we asked for a box for our leftovers. After waiting about five minutes, my friend finally got up and took one from a nearby shelf while our server was attending to other tasks. I have never left a restaurant without tipping before, but this was the first time I felt the service did not warrant one. I do not know whether management has changed or whether the restaurant was short-staffed for the summer, but the restaurant was only about half full on a mid-August Friday morning, not a particularly hectic brunch period. I hope this was an isolated experience, because I have many good memories of this place and would like to see it return to the standard it maintained for so many years. read more

Solid choice for breakfast! The meals are consistently delicious. The sweet potato pancakes are 5 stars on their own- perfectly moist and sweet with syrup. My bacon and cheddar omelet is always good, breakfast potatoes are perfect. Gets busy but staff does well managing the wait and we've sat at the counter when tables are unavailable. Exactly what you picture when you hear "diner"! read more

Deluxe was and is THE SPOT to stop after a night out. You can't miss with the breakfast basics or with a burger - it's all good!

Solid breakfast choice for classic breakfast fair. I wouldn't say I was blown away, but I wasn't disappointed either. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is vintage[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service is efficient. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A true diner experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the classic breakfast with a stack of pancakes. Service was quick and to the point.

Wait staff was great. They were on their game and in good spirits. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice too- bustling, yet comfortable and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The eggs had a funky taste - hard to describe - it was kind of like the taste of bad water. I prefer a crisper home fry than they serve. I was happy that they tasted good and were homemade, which is essential. read more

I had the veggie omelet that had mushrooms, broccoli and onion. It only included two eggs while most places offer a three egg omelet. I knocked down the rating one star for the serving sizes. I had the salad in lieu of hash browns. There seemed like there was sufficient staff to handle the number of people. I did not have any problems with service. The prices were reasonable but the serving size was on the smaller side. I would return if going out for breakfast. It is at a convent location in Watertown. read more

What the heck, this place is amazing. We put our names on the list and were called in about 15 minutes. They took our coffee and food order. We ordered fish and chip, Johnny Cakes, and a Veggie burger. First off you cannot find good johnny cakes outside of RI. These were perfectly made, crispy and an excellent crunch. The fish and chips were sweet and the portion size HUGE. The black bean veggie burger was I am told excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is perfect for a diner. It is not the Four Seasons. LOL.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend the food and the fabulous wait staff. read more

No frills, old school diner, which is exactly what a diner is supposed to be. Long bar counter seating and good amount of booth seatings. Looks old school but very clean. They have a lot of regulars that come in, where they knew their names and last orders. The servers were quick and attentive. The moment we sat down, our server came by to get our drink orders. Large menu selection of breakfast and lunch items. We got the deluxe egg sandwich (you can choose between a variety of breads or bagels) and hungry man plate (this was a large portion - we chose bagel and pancakes (not shown, ate it then remembered, but you get 2 fairly big pieces). Place normally gets pretty packed but today it was little less than half full probably due to credit cards machine were down, so was cash only for today). read more

Consistently inconsistent. Sometimes the food is great sometimes its pretty lousy. Sometimes the service is fast and good sometimes you wait forever and they mess up your order. Seens like it depends on when you go and what you order.

Town Diner was my go to for weekend brunch. Food was always delicious and the pancakes were to die for. I decided to take my family for a mid-week breakfast. We didn't have to wait very long to be seated, as there were few tables being occupied. Service was good, and food was ok. read more

Based on all the reviews I expected much more from this little diner. The place was 1/2 empty for lunch time - should've been a sign... Overall the food was OK. They were out of almost all of the blue plate specials, which my friend from California wanted to go just for them. I had the turkey club - it was incredibly dry and had no flavor whatsoever - the french fries were the best part. My friend had fish n chips and said they were good. The tuna melt that our other friend had was just average. The prices are a bit high for what you get even with inflation. Definitely not a place I will look to come back to. read more

Add this place to your list! This is a classic diner with great food and great service. The portions are huge and the menu has reasonable prices. My go to is the deluxe colossal hungry person special. You get your choice or a short stack of pancakes or French toast, two eggs any style, homefries, toast, a protein, and bottomless coffee for $15. The pancakes and the homefries are my favorite!! They have a ton of seating, but if it's too busy you could always sit at the bar. Regardless it's worth the wait. There is street parking, but that can get hard when it's busy. This is in Watertown so there isn't a train. Love this place! I'd go to this diner so much more if I lived closer. read more

Yes! Give me The Hungry Man Big breakfast! My bf and I came in for brunch Sunday morning and it was very busy, luckily we found seats at the bar. I wanted the works! Pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, coffee and after looking at their big menu I decided on their deluxe big man hungry breakfast which had everything that I wanted. The service was great! After taking our order the super friendly waitress made sure my cup of coffee was always full! She literally kept filling it up which I loved! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the pancakes were so soft and chewy! The bacon was nice and salty and I can't believe I devoured the whole full plate of food! My bf really liked his pancakes too! We were so happy we had breakfast here! We can't wait to come back! read more

Stopped by with my bf and a friend. Got the Smoked Salmon and Egg sandwich and it was really good, waitress was patient and kind while I was ordering and choosing my type of bread. Unfortunately, the home fries felt a little underseasoned and needed the addition of hot sauce or ketchup to feel complete. read more

The deluxetown diner hasn't changed in years. It harkens back to a different era. Unfortunately the prices do not harken back... They are very current. I live in Fall River and things are definitely cheaper there. Which makes sense. We're near Boston. I saw Rhode Island johnnycakes on the menu and had to try them. I've always wondered what they are. They're made from cornmeal and contain no wheat. They also contain no flavor. Very bland. I didn't care for them. That's all I got so I can't write a very detailed review. read more

We were visiting relatives in Watertown and decided to try this place for lunch. It was very busy on a Friday at lunchtime but we were quickly seated. The menu is vast and has everything from salads to burgers to sandwiches and even breakfast. Our party opted for a reuben sandwich, a burger, a Cobb salad, and an Asian chicken salad. Service and price were good read more

This is a wonderful discovery! Do not be deterred by the outward appearance, this place is an extraordinary representative of the diners. I loved 50 years ago! Great service, excellent non-pretentious coffee, many different varieties of eggs and other breakfasts (served all day)., Classic white, ceramic coffee mugs, and wonderful diner kitch. If you are a fan of inexpensive, excellent breakfasts, and traditional diners this place is a must visit! Certified 100% fresh on rotten tomatoes. read more

There are not enough spaces in this review to hit it all. This place is super small. You will wait for a table BUT is it worth it. YES. While visiting the area I came with a friend. Breakfast was Devine. Eggs perfectly cooked crunchy potatoes perfect toast. We sat at the counter I was impressed. I came back the next day with a different friend and we got a booth and I proceeded to order absolutely everything I wanted to try, Living in Ohio I knew this was my one shot to try everything. Dorothy said let's do this. We ordered Blintzes what can I say I am a New York Girl I have had the best of the best, these did not disappoint. The Potato Pancakes had a crispy crunch that although not how I would make them had a rather flavorful content that I absolutely enjoyed every single bite. Dorothy had Over easy eggs cooked to perfection and a bagel so fresh and lightly toasted. Her dish came with thick sausage slices and the most yummy French toast I have ever tried. The home style potatoes were crispy and full of softness and flavor. The order of pancakes did not disappoint I had about 5 bites and agreed that this pancake was by far the richest and most loved I had ever tasted. I had an egg dish covered in cheese with ham and it was my absolute favorite of it all. Hot fresh coffee , amazing personable staff members and Dorothy took a ton of food home to her hubby as well we ate our way through tasting but the serving sizes are way too much. Prices are reasonable, Not a Fancy place but truly a Diamond in the middle of a lovely town. I am a foodie and this place had me at my first bite. Can't wait to return this spring. To try the lunch menu. Or perhaps redo the perfect breakfast. read more

Stopped here before getting on the road home. Parking can be a chore unless it is Sunday. On Sunday you can park in the bank lot across the street. Food was good, I had pancakes and home fries. The pancakes were great but the home fries were really underdone. This may have been due to how busy they were. Everyone seemed to be enjoying everything! This is an all American dinner with all the classics. Service was good despite being jam packed. read more

Deluxe Town Diner - The hungry man special! - Diners Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

This is a cool old school diner! They've got fun decor, a bunch of tables, and bar seats. The menu for this place is also massive including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Truly there's something for everyone here. My partner and I came for breakfast for the first time. We arrived around 10am on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I ordered the eggs Benedict florentine and he got the colossal hungry person. My food was mediocre at best, which was an absolute bummer. I really was excited. The eggs were super undercooked and the whites oozing. I could only eat 1 because the 2nd egg didn't even look cooked. The English muffin must have been 2 inches thick, it was massive and mushy. My partners dish was much better than mine and his poached eggs were cooked much better. Overall, I personally don't plan on coming back for breakfast because there's too many better places, but maybe I'd try lunch here one day. read more

Decent diner, but I've definitely had better breakfast food. The waffle was good--not super crispy but I don't mind that. Some pieces of the toast were buttered while others weren't, and the home fries were just okay(they were not crisp at all and huge potato pieces). All in all it's not a bad place to go if you're in the area. Maybe had we ordered differently it would have been better. Nonetheless, service was prompt and our server was nice. read more
