    Step back in time in this hometown diner! Friendly greetings upon entering make you feel comfortable and invited. The food is fresh and filling with huge portions! The coffee is life! The cook is super efficient! Definitely recommend checking these guys out for breakfast but bring your appetite! They also serve lunch and dinner on certain days.

    I love a diner and we walked in and waited 5 minutes !!!! Everyone was so pleasant and the place is packed with townies. I ask the server what to get and they steered me away from the obligatory steak & eggs and said her this omelette with Cacoila is a pork meat and it comes with a sweet au jus !! The grilled English muffins was a nice touch ! Shelly was the best and got both orders quick and the coffee is ok and Shelly has a great smile and kept us happy My buddy got a regular omelette and both breakfasts were 20 bucks ..... so affordable and good

    Traditional diner atmosphere with a very good looking menu! Lots of options! We got the Portuguese Benny and Hash and Roll Benny with a single crepe. Very tasty but the potatoes could be cooked a little more, that's the ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Waitress was very friendly and enlightened us when we inquired about the age of the diner. It's been here since the 80's!

    Very good place for breakfast! The diner has plenty of seating, clean and nostalgic. I had the hungry man special and it was good. Service was fantastic. She was very nice! Prices are comparable for breakfast food in the area.

    The cook doesn't know how to cook scrambled eggs. They're always like rubber. Even if u ask for soft scrambled. 1 star for that.

    South Street Diner - Patty Melt and Fries

    PATTY MELT REVIEW…read more Iconic diner on the edge of Chinatown, a couple blocks east of the Expressway. It's been around for decades and it's open 24/7. More of an authentic this-place-has-aged feel than the typical diner attempt to evoke an earlier era. Went in the morning and went for a patty melt-- because I could. It's too elusive these days, so being able to not only find one but have it at breakfast, a double win. Double patty is standard, not an add-on, and fries (probably frozen, but lengthy, crisp and fluffy) are included. No onions, no rye, but lettuce and tomato-- a non-traditional configuration. Nicely browned patties that had juiciness. The ingredients weren't anything to write home about, but the execution was great all around and so was the cheerful service from a seasoned veteran. Sure, I've had better with the proper rye, griddled onions, and higher quality beef, but an easy 4 stars for the execution, value, vibe, and being able to even order a patty melt before 10 in the morning. Bonus points for a plastic ketchup squeeze bottle that was slightly warm. Breakfast items (eggs, crispy home fries, and pancakes) on a neighboring table looked good.

    Met by friendly greeters at the door who escorted us to the bar to be seated. Tables are reserved…read morefor 3 or more guests and since it was just my husband and I we sat at the bar. We didnt mind. Our sever, Marie was extremely attentive and nice. South Street Diner is a small but not too small venue which serves breakfast all day. With my meal, I chose a mimosa, not just the regular prosecco and orange juice, but an apple pie mimosa made with swirls of caramel and topped with cinnamon. It was good. The food came out fast, portions were huge to where I could not eat it all, and it was delicious. I'm sure if in Boston again, I'll return.
