    Omelette
    Deena L.

    We went for brunch to the Greatful Diner. The menu has many options for breakfast and lunch. We all had breakfast and each selection came with a choice of toast and potatoes When they found out it was my birthday I was brought a fruit cup with a lit candle and they sang Happy Birthday to me The service was very good

    The Grateful Dedham Diner serves good food in a diner that feels like...a diner. So many places call themselves diners, but really aren't. We went for breakfast on a busy Sunday morning around 10 am and were lucky to get a table. The early crowd was leaving and the late crowd--like us--was just arriving. In addition to the diner experience, they play off the Grateful Dead theme with the front a groovy VW as their check-in stand. Very cute! We enjoyed blueberry pancakes, eggs Benedict multiple ways, and an egg white omelet with Brie and bacon. Yummy!! Service is friendly and efficient. Parking is available on the street or in a lot nearby.

    Came here on my mom's birthday for breakfast. Great diner food, and our server made it memorable by adding a candle to her fruit bowl. She loved it! When my mom first mentioned this place my boyfriend turned to me and we both thought the same thing - she's not into Grateful Dead music. But we were in for this experience. First off it's an amazing name, I always enjoy a good pun on words. We sat down and Pink Pony Club was playing. Got some questions... I don't think we heard one Grateful Dead song the entire time we were there, it was a great playlist don't get me wrong, just not on brand. Looking around, the clientele didn't radiate deadhead vibes, but they were definitely from that era. Despite the identity crisis, still a great diner spot.

    Our last day in Boston, my boyfriend I were craving some diner food. 50's diner was way too crowded so we opted for grateful. It's a family friendly diner that works quickly. We were seated within 5 minutes even though it was busy. I ordered the sausage and omelette with potato wedges which tasted wonderfully. Would highly recommend returning to any locals or visiting town.

    the 02026

    An amazing diner with great tasting food at an affordable price! I got the 02026 omelette and it was one of my personal favorites! The 02026 has a great blend of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. The apple gave it a hint of sweetness that compliments well with the saltiness of the bacon. As well as the goat cheese that catalyzed the two ingredients into one perfect bite. The potatoes were seasoned well. Crispy on the outside and soft in the inside! Toast is toast so it's not overly special. The whole set including tax was around $15 which was a pretty good deal! The staff were amazing and fast. Also, the restaurant is very lively in the mornings. I would recommend going early, it will get packed around 8-10am. This spot is best to go with your father during Father's Day! Or anytime with any of your family members

    The Grateful Dedham has been on my "hope to try" list for some years - I wish I had tried this place earlier: quite good on many levels. Seating was quick, despite crowd, and service from receiving menu to paying the check was prompt & friendly. The inside can be loud, but that's because lots of families eat with kids here, which I think is great. Note: there is a discount price if paying check by cash vs credit card. Food: I got "The Grateful" (see photo), while The Wife got a ham & cheese omelette, plus a side of corned beef hash (see phot). My Wife thinks the hash is the best ever; I lean towards it being quite good. As for my 2 scambled eggs, potatos, French toast, sausage (1) & bacon (2 strips) - quite yummy, the French toast & sausage in particular. Note: bacon is crispy, which happens to be the way I like bacon to be cooked. Potatoes were overcooked in my opinion. I tried my Wife's omelette: the ham was particularly flavorful. Pricing was reasonable. I plan on returning.

    Plenty of seating on the main drag with street parking. They call it a diner but it sure looks like a restaurant to me. The ceilings were high which brightened the atmosphere. I had the western omelette. I was loaded with ham, onion and green pepper.l which was sauted which brought out the flavor and made them el dente. I had the fruit cup in lieu of hash browns. You can beat strawberries, blueberries and melon. I would return specifically for the omelette.

    Was pleasantly impressed with the wait time. With it being Mother's day yesterday. The location was very good. The ambiance was pleasing. The waitress was delightful. The could have been better myself along with two others asked for cheese on our scramble eggs and on their omelette. No cheese and sausage could have been cooked a little longer and the potatoes need some seasoning. And the mimosa I had was tangy.

    Had a first date at the bar yesterday and were taken very well care of by Ashlyn and Kayla (sorry…read moreI'm not sure on spelling here)! I've been in this business a long time. These ladies (though both fairly new to the bar) were warm, engaging and respectful - checked in just enough to make sure we were happy and enjoying, but were never disruptive or intrusive. The food was delicious, as were the mocktail/lemonade we ordered. Multiple managers also did a quick table (bar) touch to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Great time all around, would highly recommend, thank you

(Shout out to Dj Khalid) She was the hostess with the mostest!! She knew everything excellent to order, was attentive w/o being intrusive, and her bubbly personality was a plus. Now. About the food. Fluffy Eggs althoughI couldn't taste the jalapeno cheese, excellent pork sausage, french toast and pancakes were awesome. My sisters complaint was about the jalapeno cheese. Y'all gotta get a better jalapeno cheese or add a real jalapeno to it. The other issue was, the smashed potatoes were inconsistent due to the salt content. However, everything else ordered was very good. By the way. Met the manager. Her name is Ms. Abigail. Talk about accommodatingly awesome! With her confident and compassionate customer service acumen, she made everthing perfect. We'll be back soon. Hope to see y'all here in the near future.

It's colorful, it's groovy, it's bright, it's nostalgic. Even the employees are wearing shirts with funky themes and patterns. There are TVs showing shows from back then. The floors are checkered, the ceiling is silver, the chairs are red and the tables are blue. We were seated at a booth, which can more than comfortably sit 4-6 people. The menu is HUGE, think cheesecake factory but for a diner. There's a little bit of everything but the font and everything around it makes it hard to focus on what each item is. I went very simple and chose the Simon and Garfunkel which included two pancakes or French toast, two eggs, two bacon, two sausage, toast, and home fries for $18.99. After about 15 minutes, our food came out. The bacon could have been crispier, with some parts being wobbly. The sausage was thick, juicy, and savory. The potatoes were a little bland and mushy on the outside. The eggs were cooked medium, just how I requested them, and the englush muffin was a little different than your traditional ones since it didn't have the little pockets of air but it was still good. The French toast was moist, but I wish it had more cinnamon - the egg was the dominant flavor. Overall, it was a very satisfying breakfast. There is plenty of parking as it's in a plaza

We sat at "the snug" bar hidden in a back room (sounds cooler than it was). We started with fries, which were cooked nicely to a golden brown but tasted dry as a bone! They could have used some (or a lot of) seasoning. No salt/pepper was provided and our bartender was missing most of the time so we couldn't ask for it. Thank goodness for ketchup! For my meal, I ordered the "beef & feta toastie" with a side salad. It tasted like a steak & cheese sub and a grilled cheese sandwich had a baby. And even though I like feta, swiss and arugula, the taste of the combination inside my sandwich was odd/not that great. But I'd still say the sandwich was on good quality bread that was toasted perfectly. My favorite part of my meal was the dressing that came with my side salad; I could have drank it out of a cup, it was that good! My husband had the chicken pot pie and said it was just ok. We weren't impressed with this place but I would still recommend checking it out and deciding for yourself ;)

The pasta bolognese was sooo good and I liked it because it was not overbearing with tomato sauce, you could tell it was made from scratch with the tiny pieces of mirapoux carrots in it.
