    Biggest pancake I ever had and it was delicious. Cute little diner. Surprisingly it was pricer than a normal diner, but it was still all very good.

    Caribbean chicken and waffles eggs Benedict with mango salsa

    The food is great ! Every weekend they have different specials with all different kinds of dishes it's never the same thing twice the weight staff is very tentative And get you what you need in a speedy fashion I tried the Caribbean chicken and waffles eggs Benedict with the mango salsa it was unbelievably good.

    Mayflower Wrap with fries, corned beef hash, Eggs Benedict over Chorizo Hash.

    Wow wow wow! Elm Centre Cafe is a hidden gem! The staff is so friendly and attentive and the food is just delicious! My husband ordered Eggs Benedict with Chorizo hash and I ordered a special called the Mayflower Wrap. Both choices did not disappoint! We also ordered a side of corned beef hash, which was probably the best I've had anywhere. The menu has an abundant variety of options and the portion sizes will guarantee a full belly! Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

    Amazing service, and even better menu! Original recipes and things you won't get anywhere else! Definitely bring your friends.

    Stuffed French toast.

    Pulled this place up on Yelp, looking for a local diner, and not someplace with a drive through. The grill is right behind the counter; watch the line cooks as they prepare your food. Lots of locals at the counter, eating breakfast and lunch at noon. Quick, pleasant to respond counter service from the waitress, like she has probably been working here for decades. She knows everyone, and apparently their typical orders as well. I ordered the Florentine Benedict and stuffed French toast; raspberry sauce filled. Probably more food than I need, but after several days of road food at service islands, I won't mind getting full on some home cooking. Watching the cook as he prepares the poached eggs for my Benedict. Nicely done. Servings are huge. Didn't need to order the French toast. Both look and taste great. My word...huge meal. Well worth the stop, and the drive off the interstate to get here. Conversing with the locals about the weather and the world.

    Steak tip breakfast bowl. Amazing blend of flavors! Not always on the menu, but when it is, get it!

    Oh my...a diner but so much more! It is a Hotspot for great food. Not just your traditional diner choices but some really creative ideas that were outstanding! I ordered a special, not always on the menu... grilled steak tips breakfast bowl with onion, green peppers, A1 sauce, 2 poached eggs w hollandaise all on top of a bed of crispy tater tots with cheese... sounds like a strange combo at first hut it really worked! And it was huge and Iam looking forward to finishing it tomorrow for breakfast! We also tried the shaved steak and cheese omelet which earned high marks, and fruit stuffed French toast. When asked what he warned for a filling and they suggested fruits like strawberries,bananas, blueberries, etc. and my brother-in-law said "all of them sound great..and so they did just that! Mixed some of all the fresh fruit fillings into his stuffed French toast...and they also have him a generous dollop of freshmade real whipped cream! It was to die for! Be prepared to wait for a table most days I'm told. We lucked out to arrive when it wasn't especially busy. Service was very friendly, greeted your with a big smile. Checked on our needs often without being obnoxious. All in all, this is a must visit restaurant. One critical note. It can be hard to find because it's located at the BACK of the building!

    Is this diner cash only?

    Hello, I don't know the answer for sure as I've always paid cash. But here's their phone number if you want to call. Hope this helps :)… 

    Can this breakfast spot accommodate a large group (about 30)? How many table seats are available?

    Oh dear, no no they can't. Unless you called to book out the whole restaurant :) I tried thinking of a location near this spot and really can't come up with anything to accommodate that number of people, other than Crackerbarrel in Sturbridge which… 

    Good morning can I order a breakfast this way?

    nope

    "Polk Salad Annie Gators got your granny"…read more(Elvis Presley) We found Annie's on Main Street in Sturbridge, just look for their big sign in the parking lot. Speaking of parking, there are plenty of spots in the parking lot where the restaurant is located. Annie's is a family-owned breakfast and lunch spot, opening at 7am and closing at 12 or 1 every day. You'll find just about any breakfast or lunch comfort food here, so even the pickiest eater in your party will find plenty of options. Their menu has a few interesting choices, like three different "Egg White Mixers" that combines vegetables or baked ham with scrambled egg whites and toast. We also were impressed with the Family Style Meals for four or six. We stopped for breakfast on Saturday and were seated right away by Paige. She was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. My wife's breakfast order was a 4-egg Cheese Omelet ($9.50) served with Annie's Home Fries and choice of toast. I went for one of those Egg White Mixers ($8.25) and chose the Veggie with onions, peppers, and tomatoes, It was also served with Annie's Home Fries and choice of toast. I couldn't resist when I saw the magic words "Corned Beef Hash" on their menu, so I also asked for a side of their Fresh Homemade Corned Beef Hash ($7.25). My breakfast was fantastic, and that corned beef hash was loaded with lean shredded corned beef. Two Negatives 1) Have you ever been charged extra for hot sauce? Well, sadly Annie's charges $1 for those tiny plastic containers of hot sauce. 2) Coffee is a pretty important breakfast component, right? When I spend $4 for a coffee, I expect the coffee to be very good. Truth be told, Annie's coffee was terrible; it was incredibly weak and flavorless.

    Just a quick stop for a quick breakfast of French toast and coffee. Both were excellent, but what…read moreimpressed me most was the attitude of the staff. Extremely friendly and attentive. That alone would make me a regular customer if I lived closer. Quaint little place, a bit warm, which is a part of its charm. Lots of off street parking.

    Today was our first (and not last) visit to The Hamilton Diner. We go there at 11:00am on a Tuesday…read more(day after Labor Day just to keep the metrics in place) and the parking lot was packed. We did, however, find one about 4/5 of the way into it. Entrance way is at the end of a ramp, which I would interpret as a fairly tight squeeze if I was in a wheelchair. However, there was a fellow in an electric wheelchair making his way down the ramp as we were coming up, and we all made it up (and down) easily enough with just a pause. Hostess desk is immediately in the entrance. Very personable lady said it'd be a 25-minute wait, and that was pretty accurate. I gave her my phone number and received a message to download Yelp! including a "Your place in line" feature. Benches to sit and wait - one outside and three inside. We were 4th in line, and then 2nd, and then 1st. I felt a vibration from the phone but saw no message. So I went to the desk to check, and they were ready anyhow with 4 empty tables. Seated us quickly and our waitress Ashley was there in short time. Paula (wifey) ordered some Egg Sandwich and a small order of French Toast. I ordered Southern Benedict, which was a buttermilk biscuits base, topped with a fried chicken patty, 2 poached eggs, and smothered in a creamy sausage gravy, and it came with an order of home fries. We were both very happy with the flavor and portions. In fact I was rather full and didn't eat the last 3 or 4 bites. I also had an iced coffee, which was nice and strong. The place is very much where neighbors and families meet and greet. Lot's of "Norm!!" moments. Pricing if fairly average -- it was (with a 20% tip) $45 for us two. My only complaint had nothing to do with the restaurant, but with adults who don't know how to tell a kid not to do shrill whistling in a restaurant. No more details on that. Again, not the restaurant's fault. We definitely would like to go there again, especially to order some bacon, as that, in my estimation, is a very important factor for breakfast -- I just didn't have any reason for it this time, what with the chicken and the sausage gravy.

    Another great breakfast at Hamilton. But I got carded, & denied! Waitress said I looked too damn…read moregood for 62. (Im 56, with a prescription list only a body builder could carry around. 62 will be here soon enough..maybe I'll be there for it. Hubby had classic Benedict & i had just the typical eggs, meat, homefries & toast. 2 ice coffees & hubs has 2 lg OJs. The breakfast table isn't for the faint of heart anymore. Food was prepared perfected, of course. And I didn't get our usual table outside the bathroom for a change. They are expanding their afternoon.menu also.
