I really love this place! I have a dairy allergy and they are really knowledgeable- they even have a vegan menu- Their products are high quality and the food is really really good. I get the omelette with real spinach, mushroom and kalamata olives. Delish. My husband loves the corned beef hash and the waffles -regular and vegan- are yummy. The coffee is pretty good. Service is fast and friendly. I highly recommend it! read more

I was hungry this morning, so I made a B line for A st and ate at My Diner. As far as diners go, this is the best one I've been to in Quincy or Boston. I had two eggs with sausage and toast, and a side of French toast. (which is great!) I didn't really love the butter on the toast, but everything else was great. Even the maple syrup in the squeeze bottle was good, and the friendly service at the counter was perfect. read more

Very satisfying breakfast! I came here before a rock climbing competition and it really hit the spot. It's a seat yourself style. The portions were perfect, the food tasted yummy and it had a local feeling to it, which I am a fan of. Overall, a place I would be a regular at if I lived more in the area. It happens to be walking distance from my climbing gym, so I will definitely be back. It can get a little crowded and cramped inside (it's a small restaurant), but in my opinion lots of customers is a good sign. Definitely check this place out. read more

My Diner met all my criteria for the perfect diner: delicious, cheap, big portions, extensive menu. It's pretty small inside and packed on weekends, but definitely worth the wait. My boyfriend and I split a waffle with Nutella, strawberries, and bananas; the Heather omelette; and a side of corned beef hash for only $20 total! The portions were very reasonable and the food was absolutely delicious; definitely didn't taste like the cheap breakfast food you'd expect a diner to provide. Despite how crowded it was, the service was actually very quick, so I know this would be a good place to stop by on the way to work. To top it all off, the coffee is bottomless. I honestly can't think of a single downside to this restaurant. read more

Went to this diner for the first time with my family (there where 4 adults and 2 kiddos, they where able to accommodate our larger party (be it pretty close) service was pleasant, it was a Saturday morning, we didn't have a wait which was great. Prices are SUPER reasonable! I was drawn to this establishment because they have a vegan menu! I love the variety they had to offer! Portions are generous! For ALL of us to eat (kids even got their own meals) it was under $50! I got the vegan omelet with veggies & Daiya cheese, potatoes and grilled English muffin. Not sure what they use as a base for their omelets (tofu or an egg substitute) but it was a bit dry, luckily topping it was salsa made it perfect! My 13 month old ate an entire vegan pancake (BIG) and my daughter enjoyed the potatoes but didn't enjoy the scrambled tofu (normally likes what we make at home) everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. We will be back for sure. read more

My Diner - Vegan omelet with Daiya cheese and veggies + potatoes - Sandwiches Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

We landed at Logan and immediately pull up yelp to find somewhere to eat at 8a on a Saturday morning in Boston. I found My Diner, read some reviews and headed off. First impression "Parking is a b&%#h"...but once we lucked out in finding a spot, we found quite a gem. I ordered 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and linguica. Husband had eggs Benedict. We kept passing our forks back and forth "Try this, its so good". The linguica was kinda dry, but the eggs and pancakes were on spot. Can't beat the prices!! The service was excellent (they were short a server), but our waitress was very pleasant and accommodating. read more

I am very torn between 3 & 4 stars here. Wish there was 3.5! My Diner is a great little local joint offering good food at a great price. I finally stopped in for breakfast and had the $4 special - 3 eggs, home fries, toast and choice of meat (sausage). The price is ridiculously low for the full plate of food you get. Everything was very good and the service was pleasant and timely. I cannot speak for lunch or other menu items other than the breakfast classic but overall a very pleasant experience. Great dinner vibe, I will be back. read more

My Diner - Breakfast Special - 3 eggs, home fries, sausage and toast $4 - Sandwiches Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Did you overindulge yourself last night with a delivery from Bayview? Having a rough time getting yourself together this morning? Call My Diner. Our breakfast was delivered within 30 minutes on a Sunday morning. The toast was kind of soggy, but I didn't think it would hold up well on the way over. Heather's Omelette cured my mild hangover. I keep meaning to visit in person, but there's something about having breakfast delivered that I'm not ready to give up on. read more

It was so surreal to be back in Boston. The city I love, the city I have missed for the past 7 years! I only had a day, and I was determined to make the most of it- to see some old stomping grounds, and to find some new places. Trudging through the snow- I had to get some food that blustery morning a couple weeks back. I was walking toward the T and stumbled upon this place, and I'm so glad I did. True South End charm, a warm diner atmosphere and good eats helped me get my day of adventuring started off the right way. The omelette was HUGE and satisfying, the hash browns- perfectly crisp and not overly greasy and the service was top notch. I had a couple of regulars next to me that allowed me to join in their conversation and I was very satisfied with my time here. So glad I stopped in and started off my day. It truly felt like home. read more

Great food at great prices. I hope they don't go the way all other businesses in that area are going...increasing prices. The menu is vast and the service is friendly and fast. Will be my go to from now on. read more

For a dive place that serves breakfast, this is what it is about. It is a local place with working guys in for breakfast after they had already started their shift. It isn't fancy, you can sit at a table, close to another table, or at the counter. We took the train into South Station & wanted breakfast before heading over to the American Craft Beer Fest, so we walked down. It wasn't long of a walk, less than 15 minutes. No wait, we were seated right away. French toast for me & corned beef hash omelet for my husband. Both were great. Husband is a corned beef hash fanatic and notes it is homemade, and very good. French toast was good even without syrup. The omelet came with potatoes and toast. Side order of bacon was good and crispy. The waitress was fast & efficient. Most telling of how good she was, when my soda was done, she brought me a water without asking. My husband's water was always full, again, without asking. I saw she did the same for those drinking coffee. Whole breakfast was, at most, $14. Well worth a 15 minute walk. read more

My Diner is right down the block from me and we go there just about once a week for breakfast. It has that diner atmosphere that you want; it's clean and the food is delicious. You get old-time Southie families, cops, artsy types, construction workers and millionaires from the crazy expensive condos in Fort Point all enjoying a delicious breakfast side by side. I highly recommend the French toast with all the fresh fruit. I don't know what they do to it, but it's fantastic. It's a small place, so sometimes you have to wait, but we've almost always chosen to wait rather than walk another block to go to Mul's. read more

They use great ingredients (fruit bowl had great variety and was very fresh), but their waffles were so bland and non-crunchy. Also, I ordered two eggs with one yolk and swear i just got three whole scrambled eggs. Eh- not bad. Just didn't eat all of it. They're eggs after all. For a treat, get the hash- it really is to die for. This place is nothing fancy, just a hearty (huge portions) homey bfast. Which is maybe just what you need when you're far away from home. read more

Good food, huge portions, great price, fast service! Get here before 2pm or you'll miss out. Nice and cozy too :) read more

My Diner - Farmers! 3 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage,2 French toast, toast, and home fries! All for $7.75 - Sandwiches Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

First off, I never write reviews. I have been a vegetarian most of my life but i've never liked eggs so when i go out to breakfast often my only choice is something sweet like a waffle or pancakes. This place has a separate vegan menu which includes a tofu scramble that is so good! We ordered takeout yesterday and everything was hot and delicious. I almost never finish all my leftovers but I did from here! They are also very friendly and thoroughly check to make sure your order is correct. Really awesome place. Highly recommend for vegans/vegetarians/omnivores, everybody! read more

Through the pandemic I have given the benefit of the doubt. Yesterday was the last time I will ever eat there. I placed an order and was told 30-45 minutes. Food came well over 1 hour after placed. Order was wrong and needed to call back. Both times I specifically said please open the green door and leave there. The driver called both times when delivering. I again repeated to OPEN the green door and leave there. The remainder of our order came at lunch time and left OUTSIDE. When I got it a squirrel was chewing on the bag. I called the restaurant and told them to which the woman who answered the phone said "what do you want me to do about it". I told her to credit me. She said "fine" and thought she hung up. Put the phone on the counter and said " wow. She is crazy". Called the SB location to speak to someone who was going to call me back. Still haven't returned call. The food could not be eaten and the customer service was disgraceful!! read more

Went in today for a brunch, early lunch break. I figured today was a great time to try out the diner down the street from where I work. I will be back. Came in, seated myself. I had to wait a few to be helped, apparently I looked exactly like the last guy who was sitting in the seat who had just finished his meal. No biggie. Apparently I was a little late for the 3.99 special which runs through 10AM. this is a good thing to keep in mind, and also no biggie. The three eggs, breakfast meat, home fries and toast came to $5.89. Not bad. The food itself, was a solid rendition of a traditional diner staple. No complaints. They have great home fries. Their toast was just right. Buttered through, and still able to hold a slice of egg with a whole yolk. Sausage was caseless and had a good flavor. I will be back for sure. Oh and I'll make sure to bring cash next time. $10 minimum for cards, folks. read more

From looking at the diner and it's decor, you would never guess this place makes really solid and delicious food. We've only been here for breakfast, but we keep coming back! We used to live in Waltham and thought "In a Pickle" made the best omelettes anywhere. We went to In a Pickle this week (after a of couple years) and realized the food there doesn't come close to the deliciousness of My Diner! Favorites: eggs benny, western omelette and a high quality fruit cup. Things to keep in mind: wait on the weekends, very tiny so you're close to your neighbors. read more

Good job fellow Yelpers, you all had it right about the corned beef hash. This Southie hole in the wall is a real gem. I thought it was cool that all the local senior citizens were greeted on a first name basis. Service was good, coffee was strong, eggs cooked as requested and I already mentioned the ridiculously awesome corned beef. Will be going back next time I'm in town. read more

This is the place where my coworkers and I get breakfast every week. I've never order lunch, so I cant comment on that, but their breakfast options are delicious, waffles and french toast are buffery and fluffy, bacon are crispy, eggs are cooked right of the way you ask, and they give you a big portion, breaskfast combo comes with eggs, meat, fries and toast, it's so much that I'd skip lunch whenever order breakfast from them, did I mention the price is low as well. Staff are nice and fast delivery. read more

A friend of mine moved to this neighborhood recently and found this place on Yelp so we had to come check it out. I have to say I was pretty impressed. We stopped in on a Sunday morning and surprisingly it wasn't overly packed. We were seated right away. The menu was impressive. It had pretty much everything you could imagine a breakfast diner would offer, and the prices were extremely reasonable. I ordered an omelet filled with their homemade corned beef hash that came with home fries and toast for only $6.50. The meal was huge and easily fed me twice that day. My only minor complaint is that the servers were not very attentive. We were never offered a refill on our coffees or water, and it took a while to get our bills taken care of. We weren't in a rush but at this point there was a line of people waiting so it would have made sense for them to be a little more efficient. It seemed like a locals place as they seemed to get plenty of attention. Overall I'd love to come back soon for the great food and great prices. read more

I have worked on A street alot, and always enjoy being met with the smell of bacon as we turn onto W. 2nd, it always makes me wish I could go enjoy a breakfast instead of working... Inside is a little bit of a tight fit. Not made for people who are indecisive - I stopped short once on the way from the door to the register to grab a menu and an older man ran right into me, gotta keep the flow of traffic up people! Where do you go when you've ordered take-away? Anybody's guess. You'll get a funny look where ever you stand. I'm curious as to how you get to the bathroom when somebody is seated at the table that is pushed up against the door... The club sandwiches are tasty - they are large, cut in fours, and come with fries. They have a good selection of juices and sodas for take away too. I am a fan. read more

We love ordering from My Diner on lazy weekend mornings. Their eggs benedict are great (all of the varieties!), as well as their pancakes and french toast. Their portions are huge and prices are great. read more

Great food, friendly service, large portions and fantastic prices. The building is new, so everything is nice and clean.

No one does a better breakfast. This place defines diner. And the prices don't get more reasonable than My Diner. Egg white omlettes are perfection, french toast is incredible and the pancakes are awesome. Turkey hash (cooked well done) is amazing. Coffee is so-so but the food just makes up for it. Lots of locals and cops, but in recent years it's started to become more of the Southie transplants. We used to go every Saturday morning (early) and see the same people each weekend...kind of like the movie Groundhogs Day! read more

A great little diner! I went with some colleagues for lunch, and was delighted to find that breakfast is served all day. The homemade hash and eggs was great. I'm looking forward to trying the turkey hash and eggs... read more

I've been to My Diner almost everyday since I first ran into it 4 years ago, sometimes twice a day. The fact is you won't find better tasting food for ridiculous prices. I don't think there's another place in the country that serves a 3 egg special for 4.35$ after tax. The food really is delicious diner food. I've had everything on the breakfast menu and there's nothing I wouldn't recommend. The turkey or cornbeef hash are both excellent as well. Get a side order if you don't believe it. Now I really have been here several hundred times and I only had my eggs slightly over cooked twice. The food is always consistent and comes right out so it's still hot. Top Recommendations: The hash The French toast with fresh fruit The home fries The home fries The home fries read more

I'm the 100th review here and this was the first time I've been able to hit this spot....hot damn was this place good. I just ran a 5k down in southie so I decided to hit MD because it's been on my radar for a while. I drive by it all the time, such an unassuming place but they pack a punch. Brunch on the weekends can get messy with the line of folks, but it's worth the wait. Bacon is excellent, I mean excellent. Perfect bacon, like an intense experience. Home fries are quite good as well, definitely legit. Service is fast and friendly, and really good value for the price. You can also call in as well for orders, the phone was ringing off the hook as I was sitting at the counter. Hot sauce is franks on tap. Just a marvelous, unassuming place. I will be back, although I have general disdain for southie, this place might win me over... read more

I live down the street and can say that My Diner has become my go-to spot for greasy spoon breakfast food. With my office just a few blocks down the road, we often hit up the diner during lunch as well. Overall good quality, home cooked comfort/diner food - nothing to complain about. read more

Outstanding food and service!! A wonderful, family owned, bunch spot with great prices, a great selection and generous portions! I'd suggest getting there early because everything is made fresh daily. read more

I don't know why people wait on line to eat here. We went twice right when they opened and regretted it both times. We make better omelettes at home! It's just not worth it. There are much better breakfast places in the area. read more

This hole in the wall restaurant in Melrose served quite a tasty western egg sandwich. My husband ordered 2 eggs with potatoes which were cooked to his liking. Both orders were quite hefty in their portion size and the price was right ($13.00). Granted there is no ambiance in this small place so it depends on what you are looking for. The lunch offerings were all under $10.00 and there looks like there is something for every taste. The also deliver, but not sure how far they travel. I plan on returning for lunch sometime so save me a seat. read more

Go to the Melrose location. Area is tight so it gets busy but service is quick, food is good, and prices are unbeatable. They have their own corn beef hash and blueberry pancakes which are top notch. If you like the band Helen Trio, 2 of the band members work there on weekends. read more

good is ok but the delivery driver is a complete asshole, don't put up with any crap with this idiot , he has anger issues and will peel out in your neighbors driveway at 6 in the morning, who would think delivering breakfast sandwiches would be so stressful. I will never buy from here again because of this asshole read more

You can never go wrong here. I go here 1-2 times a week and love it. Best burgers and chicken dinners. The waitstaff is always friendly and hustling their asses off. Breakfast is always served and they have great french toast. Try a little honey on the cheeseburger and you'll love it. read more
