I really enjoyed this place! I've lived down the street my whole life and never tried it for some reason, but I was pleasantly surprised with my meal (pancakes were a highlight). My bacon was on the overcooked side but I don't mind that, and I'd skip ordering a juice or since it was just bottled orange juice from concentrate. Ambiance inside is casual, server was so kind and I will be returning. read more

Eddie's Breakfast & Lunch - Pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Ok, so I get a big demerit. I broke the Golden Rule: THE CAMERA EATS FIRST!! I don't know if I was just really hungry, or what, but I totally forgot to take photos of the food. Not only did I forget; I didn't realize until I had completely finished my meal! Hence, sorry but no food photos! lol This little luncheonette only has 4 booths for 4 ppl and 1 table for two; there are also a few counter seats along the wall. But on a Saturday morning, we didn't really have to wait, as we got the last available booth. Yay!! Customer service was so friendly and welcoming; and fast! Eddie, the owner, even came over to say hello! Great hospitality! They serve the basic diner breakfast stuff (eggs, omelettes, pancakes French toast, etc), as well as a lunch menu (burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc), as well as side items and dessert. I had the best Western Omelette, which came with home fries, and toast. This omelette was fantastic; no joke! All the veggies were fresh and the eggs were prepared perfectly. Most diners tend to over cook their eggs but this omelette was perfect. My pumpernickel toast was fantastic also...imagine that! Toasty yet chewey at the same time. A great meal overall! I can't believe I just raved about an omelette but it was seriously THAT good! Recommended, and I would certainly return to try other menu items, or another omelette! read more

Place is great, never had a bad breakfast. Staple in the neighborhood, been around for as long as it has for a reason.

Eddie knows how to serve up an omelette. He opens at 6:00 on a Sunday. This is unheard of! Perfect if I want to make it to the health club by 7:00. I just had a broccoli omelette with no toast or hash browns. The omelette had at least three eggs. Toast and hashbowns are offered as part of the meal. I just decided to pass this time. It still hit the spot. There were four booths and a counter with stools against the wall. I took a seat a booth where Eddie took my order and brought my omelette out to me. It took him about 5 minutes to make my omelette. Speedy Gonzales! It was clean, neatly picked up. now I I know who is open early for breakfast. I would return if I am in the area. read more

Just what I was looking for, an old-fashioned tuna sub with chips and some water. Nothing fancy. Inexpensive! Nice people. read more

Good food and affordable. The western sandwich was great! Thanks for the good service too!

Classic neighborhood breakfast diner vibe. Not going to knock your socks off but that's not why you come to a place like Eddies. You come here for the nostalgia and the consistency b/c you know exactly what you're going to get. God bless Eddie and all the other neighborhood diner owners like him still out there. read more

I have to leave a review because the several years that I've been to this restaurant he's always been wicked nice! Food is always been consistently good. That being said, now being a vegan, the only thing I can eat there is maybe hash browns and a banana. I almost feel like it would be too much to ask for him to make some thing vegan, but you can just tell that the food is made with love in every bite. read more

The most consistent, basic breakfast spot in the area. As simple as it gets; no trendy spins on (or any) eggs Benedict. I look forward to getting my car serviced nearby on Watertown street just so I can eat a Denver omelet here a couple times a year. Every year. read more

We tripped over this place getting sausage at Depasquale's. We were early for Depasquale to open so we Googled where to eat breakfast and got Eddie's 500 ft away Our breakfast was so delicious We had Denver omelet and Eddie special So glad we took a chance and went in You won't be sorry read more

Quick and friendly service. The highway special is my go to meal but even just to stop in for a quick muffin or coffee is fantastic too. They will grill the muffin and butter it for you as well. A great local spot in the Lake (Nonantum). Support your hard working local business owners! Thank you Eddie! Also, if you are looking for fancy and more luxurious breakfast places, try Starbucks and their prices! Bravo Eddie! read more

I've driven by here 50 times and decided to give a small business a try. Nothing spectacular, mom and pop spot for breakfast. That's all I got...support small businesses! read more

We have been meaning to try this place for a while and so glad we played hooky from work and got breakfast here on a weekday. THE FOOD IS SO GOOD!!! We had eggs, bacon, home fries (!!!!), the breakfast sandwich and a grilled blueberry muffin. We'll be back for them all and more. Eddie & his staff are so nice too! Cash only, suuuuper reasonable prices. read more

How can you not supply your workers with regular plastic gloves? Some lady walked out of the back room and started making my food with bare hands I used to like this place but now it's not good enough for this neighborhood. read more

I remember like 3 years ago or so I have Doordashed here and they complimented my name on the bag...random but absolutely made my day (thought to leave a review as me and my partner were talking about doing food delivery and the memory came to me)- any time I've dashed to here or dined in they have amazing customer service, good food!​ read more

Never got to see this diner because my experience involved a takeout order. I woke up late this morning and realized that I was craving pancakes and bacon but it was almost noontime. I decided to order takeout rather than going out and looking for someplace to eat. I called the front desk of the hotel I was staying in but I was informed the restaurant was closed until 5:00pm. I decided to order from Eddy's Diner. I chose the banana pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancakes were very good and so was my bacon, which was crispy as I had requested. All in all it was a great breakfast. Thanks Eddy's read more

If you planning to eat here I recommend you not to. The customer service is terrible. As well if you come in to eat the seating is very limited. There are only 4 booths, If you come in as a single party, and if another group comes in they will ask you to move your seating in the middle of your meal to accommodate the party coming in. The food is terrible as well. I will not be eating there again. read more

Omelettes are made with fresh eggs and home fries are delicious! Nothing is ever frozen. Definitely can't go wrong with Eddies' fluffy pancakes and thick Texas style French toast or the classic Highway Special (breakfast sandwich) for 5$. Food is quick and service is always friendly. Come prepared though-- CASH ONLY! read more

Eddie's Breakfast & Lunch - Omelette comes with home fries and toast! And a pumpkin muffin as a bonus yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Eddie's was a staple of my childhood & i make sure to stop by every time i come back home. It's so good, eddy is so sweet, the high way special with home fries is the best breakfast I've had in my entire life. I highly recommend it!! read more

Ive tried so many different things on the menu and the food at Eddie's never disappoints! They're quick, they're friendly, and the food is affordable. My only complaint is that it's cash only - but if I'm not mistaken they have an ATM. Otherwise there's a lot of banks/ATMs surrounding it! read more

Best food. Best burger i ever ate. Burgers are my favorite food. The Price is cheap as heck. The fries are salted well Nicely fried The onion rings are heaven. 5/5 10/10 100/100 Come here i live in nonantum so walking here is a breeze Even if you have to drive 4 miles still come here. read more

Their egg sandwiches are inexplicably magical. Simple ingredients but incredible taste. Cheap and fast.

Positively the best Bacon Cheeseburger anywhere that I have had. Try it with onions and mushrooms....you won't be dissappointed! read more

Eddie's Breakfast is aptly named, since the two things that you are guaranteed to see when you go there are Eddie, and breakfast. This is a townie hangout, no doubt about it, and if you can't handle that, move on up the street. Service is quick, coffee is good, the menu is short but comfortable. No frills here folks, just the usual suspects from the grill, and if you're lucky a friendly smile from the waitress. Eddie made my over-hard eggs over-easy, but he also grilled the english muffin to perfection, so I can't get mad at him. One of the neatest things about this place is that it's an unofficial museum of history and culture for 'The Lake'. On the wall above the bar you will see pictures of all the locals over the past thirty, forty, fifty years, as well as newspaper articles and bits of local flavor. Eddie is a Lake man, through and through. I haven't had to wait to sit down there yet, which gives it a special place in my breakfast list. I haven't been here for lunch, but it's a little too close to D&A's subs to make that likely to happen. read more

I went to Eddie's before it was even called Eddie's - back then it was called Maria's, and it was run by a greek dude named George. Then Eddie came in and bought the place and now it's his joint, named after him. I was there recently, and Eddie still has a picture of me and my old man on the wall with him and George at the time of the "switch." That's the kind of place this is - a neighborhood gathering spot. It's your Saturday morning eggs, bacon, and whatever else your belly could desire for breakfast spot. Try the 2 x 2 x 2 (two eggs, 2 pancakes or waffles, and 2 servings of meat - i think the 3rd 2 is for meat, not sure); or Eddie's Hi-Way Special, a delicious breakfast sandwich. His omelette's are fantastic, and he has good, real potatoes as breakfast potatoes. Also uses some of the saltiest sausages I've eaten, and while they are terrible for me, they are amazing. This place takes me back to my high school days when we used to go during spares and just shoot the breeze with Eddie, who is the most friendly guy you could expect. And best of all, a meal for 5 twenty-somethings getting their grease fix from a night of boozing before only cost $40. Can't beat that at IHop! It ain't fancy and it ain't healthy. But it's friendly, cheap, and delicious - just what a neighborhood diner should be! I have to edit this review to reflect my buddy"s (he's NOT on Yelp! for some reason) opinion upon reading my review: "How could you give eddie only 4 stars???? What's wrong with you? I give him 10 stars. Shoot I'll give him as many stars as he wants. I'm gonna start a facebook page for eddie. Eddies is more like mythical rather than cabots legendary but still deserves 5 stars. Stars = overall satisfaction. I give eddies 5 stars because I was more than satisfied with the food (cooked quickly but with lots of TLC)" read more

Eek! Methinks not. I went here this morning. No line. No crowd, no surprise. Luckily we ordered it to go cause as the poster below said the crowd is dirtier than the food! Also, big ups to the cooks behind the counter not wearing gloves. Looked around couldn't even find a box !! That was comforting. I couldn't even watch them make my food I had to step back. For all of you who are chummy with Eddie maybe you can advise him on health and safety regulations.? please! I had never been there before so I told wait staff chick @ register to give me a minute. She just stared me down...the menu is on the wall so I had to stand there. Also the customers stared too..it was a terrible vibe. I ordered pancakes. For $7 all i got was three pancakes. I thought about ordering a single scrambled egg on the side since my dish came with out meat but the egg alone was $3. For 2.69 you can get a DOZEN eggs. Unless these eggs came from some very intellectually advanced chickens from a far off land?? I couldn't understand it so I just got the pancakes. They were okay but nothing remotely special not even in a these taste good way ! I did not even finish them and I Was pretty hungry and excited for a breakfast....those dreams were shot upon opening the door. I am certain I will NEVER return. read more

Dirty. The food was undercooked, and I got a piece of hair in mine. The atmosphere was gross and the crowd was dirtier than the food. read more

This place is a hole in the wall located across the street from the Colleti-Magni park and features a breakfast-centric menu alongside a simple lunch offering of sub sandwiches. I went there for the latter and wasn't left blown away by the quality of the sandwich. While it was affordable, it was far from being the best one that is available in the area. The bread didn't feel or taste all that fresh - it was slightly dry - and the ingredients in it were okay but again, not all that great. Definitely not sliced to order. It just left like it was all put together in instants by someone who just simply doesn't really care to provide good food to patrons. Add to the fact that they are cash only and you're left with a place that's only worth going to while in search for breakfast in the area. The decor is dated, the place almost feels crummy/divey. Not very impressed and the staff the counter wasn't all that pleasant or friendly. While I've never had breakfast there, I've heard good things from a few people but as far as lunch goes, no thanks. read more

Cash only. Delicious. I love to stop by Eddie's for breakfast or lunch, but his $5 bacon, egg & cheese with home fries is never a bad idea any time of day. They have a variety of other sandwiches and entrees and salads, but you can find him cooking up pancakes all day long. Super friendly, delicious food, highly recommend! read more

Super fast and friendly service Extremely reasonable prices Hearty, filling warm food Cash only Limited food variety read more

Honestly, i am unsure of what the hype is here. The waitress wasn't very pleasant, they don't even have real cups (other than if you get coffee), my eggs were not cooked well (scrambled eggs were runny)... the pancakes were good and the food was fine overall, but nothing special... Food is served fast but the place is no frills (only a few booths), which is totally fine, if the service is great and the food is delicious. I will say that the coffee was always full... someone always was around helping with that, but other than that... meh... Cheap prices... quick... many people came and took their food to go, which i would probably try. The iced coffee looked good. read more

Posting because I was driving around looking for breakfast and couldn't find anything in the area. Nothing came up on yelp for the area. Found Eddies and it was perfect for breakfast. Saw a lot of lunch items that looked great too. All freshly made by Eddie. Great neighborhood joint. read more

Awesome pancakes!! Great friendly family-run restaurant! Lots of great breakfast and lunch choices. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday!! I can't wait to come back over and over and over again! Thanks Eddie and all the kind helpful servers : ) read more

Eddie's is such a gem! I walked over because I needed some breakfast while I waited for some auto tuning to be completed and was blown away by the quality of the service and the food. This is a small shop with limited seating, but the turn over is quick and the staff is wonderful. People here take great pride in their work and it shows. Thank you to Eddie's Breakfast and Lunch for doing it right. read more

I used to come here a lot when I lived in the area. If you are looking for a fast breakfast place you won't be disappointed. Quality products and the best thing about this place is Eddie the owner, sweet and as genuine as can be. read more

This place is awesome. Eddie ALWAYS make you feel at home while your there. He cooks great food. He is great to talk with once you get him going. This place really makes you feel at home. When you start your day at Eddies, you know your going to have a great day! I used to work right above Eddies. I would go to Eddies regularly with colleagues until I moved. I only wish I could go to Eddies more often! Every time I am in the neighborhood for breakfast I go. read more

Eggs. Coffee. Homefries. Toast. What else do you need? read more

I'm not sure what all the great reviews are about. Yes. Eddie is a nice guy. That said, the omelet I had came out with a browned bottom which is bad. The coffee was marginal. They have no Franks Hot sauce available only Tabasco. The food was edible. The service was good but if I want greasy spoon, I'll head to the Village Cafe in Newton which is similar decor but bigger and much better food. read more
