Great little diner, staff is very friendly. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English. It was delicious and a side of home fries. The home fries were huge, only downfall, the home fries tasted very oily. I will go back again and try something different. read more

My absolute favorite breakfast place from Wakefield opened a second location in Beverly and I couldn't be happier as it's much closer to where I live - which means I can finally go as often as I want. This place really has it all. Super friendly and accommodating staff, stellar management, it's cleanly and quaint, there's an imaginative yet classic menu, and the food is simply outstanding. Admittedly I haven't went through all that much of the menu, because I'm so fixated on "Jay's Favorite" which happens to be my fav too - 3 over-easy eggs over the best corn-beef hash I ever had, peppers, cheese and crumbled bacon. The taste, texture, everything is just perfection. It's served with thick toast and home fries. Which brings me to another reason I love Early Harvest - they are super cool about substitutions. I'm not a fan of home fries (as a rule, but even here they're good) and it's a peeve of mine that most restaurants fill half your plate with them and typically refuse to substitute. Here, I swap the home fries for a delicious grilled muffin. The muffins change regularly, as do other specials. Many ingredients are locally sourced. Even the coffee is local and really great. As if I haven't already (deservingly) raved enough about Early Harvest Diner, the best part is the prices are very reasonable. If you're in the Beverly area, but don't know the Wakefield location, give this place a try because it's a real gem. If you do know the Wakefield location, you can expect the same exact welcoming atmosphere and phenomenal food. read more

I got the patriot waffle and it was excellent. Very fresh fruit. The home fries were perfect. They make a special hot sauce here that you must try. Wonderful on potatoes or eggs. read more

This is my second time here. First time: scrambled eggs and chocolate chip cakes were great, no complaints. Today I got home fries, eggs and a gluten free blueberry pancake. Absolutely gross! The eggs weren't bad, but the home fries were coated in a thick greasy seasoning. The pancake was sour, almost bitter and the maple syrup wasn't half decent. I'm a pancake fanatic and will eat just about any sort of pancake... but this was inedible. read more

The food here is really delicious and I love the "elevated" diner experience (more modern than traditional diners, with a full bar), but the service is beyond slow. The servers themselves have always been pretty nice and accommodating, but I just don't think they put enough staff on during the super busy weekend brunch hours. read more

This is one of my very favorite breakfast and lunch spots. The staff is fantastic - joyful, kind, welcoming and attentive. The food is always good, higher quality, and fairly priced. The team also pays a lot of attention to keeping the restaurant clean and they cover each other's backs to ensure that customers have a great experience. Early Harvest is also a great venue for a lunch or breakfast business meeting. Vegans might find the menu a little sparse, but they seem to be expanding vegan options as they become more and more popular. You can always ask for something special and they will accommodate you if they can. I have always left feeling comfortably full and a little happier in my soul. I hope you do as well. read more

This has been my favorite breakfast spot on the North Shore since they first opened. The food is always so fresh, delicious, cooked just right, and the amount that is given will leave you with plenty for leftovers. The staff is always so kind as well. Could not recommend Early Harvest more! read more

First time here for breakfast, and it was DELISH! Super nice staff, covid safe and loved the food! I had a made to order omelette with home fries, and marble rye...the potatoes are seasoned just right and crispy! Their homemade hot sauce is a must try! My fiancé had the special- Avocado toast topped with eggs and cheddar. Glad to have found such a great new breakfast place! I should mention that the lunch menu looks good too! read more

I have been eating at Early Harvest now for over a year. I find their food to be excellent and tasty. I have had breakfast and lunch there. The soups are delicious and the sandwiches packed full. The attention give by the waitstaff is really outstanding. You get seated right away and drinks come quickly. I have tried a lot of things on their menu and everything has been cooked perfectly the way I like it. They don't offer desserts but they do serve fresh fruit year round. There is a lot of seating and a nice counter to sit at as well. The owners often come out and talk to the customers...they are very friendly and will often greet you or walk you to the door when you are leaving. Early Harvest is a great place to have your breakfast or lunch. read more

Very good breakfast place! We are always reluctant of going out for breakfast on Sundays, as usually there's a long waiting line, places are crowded, loud, kids everywhere and food always find its way on the floor. But we made an exception last Sunday and we tried this place, I have to say I was impressed. We got there around 9:30 am, we were sited immediately, the place was busy, but not packed and definitely not full of screaming toddlers. Service was fast, professional and the food very good. They also make a very good latte, so that's always a plus. We had stuffed french toast and steak and eggs, my husband was very happy with the steak tips, it seems like they marinate them a little bit different than other places and they end up in the plate with small pieces of garlic on top, which he loved. Great place for all your breakfast cravings. read more

Awesome breakfast in Beverly. A good friend & I always meet for breakfast here whenever she comes up on business. We have never been disappointed. Have tried several breakfast items, & have found all to be delicious. In addition to the great food, we are always impressed with your wonderful waitstaff. I would recommend Early Harvest to anyone. Sorry for not posting photos-I promise to do so next review! read more

They have great food staff very nice and they are helping first Responder! With a food deal thanks for your respect to us more folks like you make our job alot easier Thanks read more

I think they've really worked out the early kinks and hiccups, and they're doing just fine! We've been there 3 times so far. The 2nd time was a little bit of an issue regarding service (we were seated and ignored for about 45 minutes), but the manager came over and apologized and gave us full attention. Thanks for that!! Besides that one instance, the food here is amazing! Definitely an awesome time coming here and I certainly look forward to my next visit! read more

We came for lunch but ordered a mix of breakfast and sandwiches. The grilled corn muffin was so creamy and good that we were tempted to buy a few more to take home! Everything was made fresh with fresh fruit, hand cut home fries, fresh squeezed juice, juicy pulled pork and not overly sweet French toast. Definitely worth a regular visit! read more

Great spot...super clean, friendly staff...easy parking. Delish!! Food was hot and fresh. Not too salty which is great!! read more

Early Harvest Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Love this Diner! Great food,oversized portions, and very slow service. Not that that is a bad thing! I feel the food makes up for the slow service! read more

Yesterday our oldest daughter was married in Beverly and today we hosted a brunch for immediate family. I spoke to the powers that be at EHD and agreed that the party of 15 would try to arrive collectively about 9 am. Against all odds that occurred. They could not have been more accommodating. My 16 month old grandson ate everything as did we all. It was delicious and beyond expectations. I am a hash freak and their's was awesome. Everything was wonderful including service, food and management. The only negative was our GPS directions but since my brothers' and in-laws' beat us lays no blame on EHD, only the auto. TRY THIS PLACE. THEY KEPT PROMISES AND DELIVERED. read more

Kept hearing about how fabulous this place is - maybe not on the weekends. We went on Saturday - told it would be a 15 min wait, which was actually 35 mins. When we were finally seated squeezed next to a party of 8, the waitress took forever to come over. When she finally came she forgot part of the drink order, never gave us straws - fine. Long story shorter - the manager was running around trying to help the entire shift and the only reason we got anything we needed to the table. Ordered a muffin to start - it was brought out with the food. Not the end of the world. The muffin was dry and I wouldn't order it again. The food was creative, tasted good - but def not worth the hassle of this place. So many better, faster and tastier places in the area. Won't be back. The staff seemed extremely frazzled from large groups of a Beverly dance team that came in. They need to know what to do when 32 people arrive at once. read more

Service was slow. Looked like two wait people for entire restaurant. Food was ok, nothing special. Bacon was more like precooked kind than fresh cooked, dry and zero flavor. Likely will not return read more

Reliable, good food, fast service, and allergy friendly. A safe bet for a good, no frills breakfast on the North Shore.

This is a MUST go for breakfast! The coffee, service, and the food is just a delight. As locals, our top choice. We've been going at least once a week lately. Have not tried their lunch yet, but it looks equally amazing! read more

Incredible breakfast! Irish eggs benny were so fresh & huge portion. Extremely friendly staff. And don't even get me started on the Nutella coffee, Yum!I'll be back real soon! read more

Early Harvest Diner - One word: stupendous!! What an awesome find! Super friendly staff & enormous portions. Can't wait to come back! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Only been here to pick up breakfast to go before work. Their breakfast sandwiches and breakfast wraps are both reasonably priced, large and tastey. Staff is friendly and quick to get you your order. Definitely a good place to grab and go for breakfast. read more

Amazing breakfast, great attentive and friendly servers. Will definitely be coming back. 5/5!

My new favorite breakfast place! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The coffee was DELICIOUS (an organic sumatra blend) and served in homemade pottery mugs. I had the breakfast Monte Cristo sandwich on fluffy french toast and substituted the ham with turkey bacon which was crispy and tasty. Clean, comfortable, cheerful. Highly recommend this diner. read more

Early Harvest Diner - Delicious coffee in artistic mugs! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Food seems to be slowly going downhill. Had very runny poached eggs on sub par hash with home fries that were barely warm and tasted days old. Service is always good. Too bad food isn't. read more

Great service even with a party of 12. We called ahead to make sure they had room for our MeetUp group. Bright and cheery dining room. Comfortable seating. Plenty of breakfast choices. Food was outstanding; large portions. Rave reviews. We will definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend and I are HUGE fans of Early Harvest in Wakefield, MA. So when Red, the owner told us about his new location in Beverly we had to check it out. There's plenty of parking so don't let that be a concern. Liz, their manager will greet you with her beautiful smile and make sure you get seated. The atmosphere is urban/farm-house and the place is immaculate, including the bathrooms. The food is absolutely fabulous, and if you're a hash fan for breakfast, their Irish-Benny is no joke! The corn-beef is cooked onsite and the plate is full. also their hollandaise sauce is from scratch so don't let the lack of the deep yellow color (canned) throw you off. I'm attaching a picture of their breakfast sandwich on the homemade flat bread. Omelettes are awesome and their monticristo is insanely yummy. Let's move onto lunch... Enormous salads with some of the best Turkey Tips on the North-Shore. Also their chicken salad is amazing and not weighed down with mayo. They have a salad called The Quinn, and it's loaded with garbanzo beans, avocado, and crisp peppers. You have lots of choices to top it with including their luscious salmon. The house dressing is so tasty you wish they sold it in bottles. Breakfast or lunch, adding this to your dining list is a must! read more

Early Harvest Diner - Incredible breakfast sandwich with hand carved ham! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Went in on a Sunday with one other person for breakfast and was seated at the bar right away. They had a Benedict special which was one of the best meals I've had for breakfast in a long time! The grilled pistachio muffin was also very good. Will definitely be back for breakfast. read more

Early Harvest Diner - Eggs Benedict special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Food was ok, eggs florentine was pretty bland, the scrambled eggs were rubbery. I gave 3 stars for the french toast. The service was awful. It wasn't busy at all and it still took 15 minutes for a server to come over. We live close but I wouldn't come again. Much better places to choose from. read more

I use to love this place, NOT ANYMORE! They charged me way more than my receipt said, and when I emailed they didn't even respond. This is unacceptable and not professional. Don't waste your time. read more

Great food and service. Portions were huge. Great value for the money. Menu was a good size as well. I had a custom omelette which was yummy. My bf had the banana pecan pancakes which he inhaled. I tried a bite and they were delish. Bonus points for real maple syrup on the table! read more

I have been very impressed with the Early Harvest Diner ever since it opened! In the dreary gray shadow of the Cummings Center, this diner really shines. The staff could not be more friendly. I've been in there four or five times and they make a point of recognizing me (and/or my family). More importantly, there is a clear and genuine desire to want to excel as a new restaurant in a place not known for great dining options. The food is excellent - the corned beef, in particular! Good portion sizes and high quality ingredients. The menu is large enough but not intimidating. Prices are fair (not "diner cheap," but fair). I've eaten here for breakfast and/or lunch and I enjoy coming. Nice work guys! Looking forward to seeing you next time. read more

Their waitstaff is very friendly. The food is consistently good especially the bacon/egg/cheese. MMMM

Very good waitress and delish eggs on multi with well done home fries as requested. I decided to order four of the homemade muffins to bring to a friends house. They were awful, and not the same muffins they've previously had. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed, and a little embarrassed when they were unveiled to the tune of $14. Please bring back homemade quality muffins. read more

Quick stop in but glad we did. The menu was fun and they had some very creative items. The service and quality were very good

Took family out for Sunday breakfast to this diner. We were seated right away and asked if we wanted coffee or juice. We chose coffee, two decaf - one regular, and checked out the menu. Good selection of choices including gluten free options. we placed our orders - then tasted the coffee. Wow. We are not coffee snobs - we drink regular drip grind coffee at home. The coffee here was hot, just brewed but tasted like swill. The food was fine, but the bad coffee kinda ruined the "experience". I honestly wanted to go across the street, buy a few gallons of coffee from McDonalds and give everyone there some coffee with their breakfast. Can't figure out if bad coffee was intentional to keep customers moving to free up tables, or not. Sorry - no excuse for a neighborhood diner to have bad coffee. Somebody please tell the owner to make decent coffee. I didn't want to embarrass the kind waitress when she offered us coffee again. read more

Visited Early Harvest for the first time last week, and we enjoyed our experience. The decor is simple but very nice, and we had good service. I liked that they had a variety of options of savory and sweet breakfasts. I ordered the salmon eggs benedict, and they were just alright. The hollandaise tasted like it was made from some type of mix, it did not taste fresh and rich, and the English muffin wasn't toasted enough which made it get soggy from the egg and sauce very quickly. If you're a big fan of eggs benedict like myself, I'd invite you to look elsewhere. However, my friend got a breakfast wrap and really enjoyed it, and I'm sure other things on their menu are also great! read more

Searched for a good breakfast joint, made the 25 minute drive and haven't stopped since. Breakfast sandwiches are PRIME on Rye or wheat bread. They serve coffee in these cool artisanal coffee mugs made by local artists. Great friend and family environment with interesting riddles of the day of the chalk wall. Everyone here makes you feel like they know you and the manager sometimes checks in cause he even knows your food was good.. I think he wants to see it in person read more

Great food, pleasant decor, and a cheerful, attentive staff make this a great spot for breakfast on the north shore.
