This is the spot for greasy spoon diner. Hits the spot. Down the street, cakeman seemed a bit on the pricey side for a breakfast a couple days before, so we went looking for an alternative. Happy with this find. Pro tip if you like eggs Benedict: ask for easy amount of sauce (or on the side). Mine was absolutely smothered. I couldn't enjoy the runny yolk of the poached eggs. Way too much. Otherwise great. Kids and parents were all happy. read more

Adorable atmosphere. Very friendly employees. Food was absolutely amazing. Very fresh scrambled eggs! read more

I had a mixed opinion on this place ‍ What I liked: - great location right on route 28. - cute furnishings: they have a lot of antique stuff and retro toys and collectibles. - rye bread as a choice for breakfast. - prices were reasonable. However, a few things that will have me look at other options: - eggs over easy. As other reviewers noted, the eggs are cooked well vs over easy. When three out of the reviewers make this comment, it's a feature, not a bug. - Slow service. read more

I've been here twice. This morning and about a month ago. Trust the empty parking lot. Honestly, I won't be back after this morning's complete lack of service, the level of disrespect and a server's inability to show sorrow, to take responsibility and to treat me like the polite patron I was. A friend and I walked into a pretty empty diner this morning. We were actually greeted very friendly by a waitress who warned us not to sit at a certain table because the AC was leaking. --You guy's gonna fix it? Yea probably not-- Anyway, we ordered canned coke with a glass of ice (they don't readily serve a cold beverage with ice) and some waters (again a side of ice) This took quite a while. The waitress took our order. My friend ordered a western omelet and a side of sausage. I ordered a basic 2-egg scrambled plate with homefries, white toast and bacon. We waited and waited. It took over 30 minutes. A different waitress brings food over finally. My friend got his. And the other plate was a steak plate. Dumbfounded, after we made it clear no one ordered steak, the original waitress comes over and lets me know I ordered steak, and was quite confrontational and rude. I'm like, no I didn't. I never uttered the words (and more importantly - in a meh place to begin with, I'm not gonna order steak) Well. This is when things took an awkward turn. The waitress who got my order wrong never returned to the table. Like NEVER. More minutes go by. Another plate is brought to the table. No bacon and I'm not sure how the eggs were prepared? Over hard? At this point, I've been sitting, waiting for food, which I ordered right around 9am. It's now 9:45 and after the second wrong plate, I said forget it and watched my friend take a few bites before declaring it was pretty bad and this experience ruined breakfast. We had to flag down a waitress, because at this point, they were collectively ignoring us. It seems to me that this used to be a great place. I will stress that I was most pleasant to the staff throughout this. I never got an "I'm sorry," or "is there anything we can do to make it right?" Instead, it was all my fault for just wanting a basic breakfast. They literally gave no effs if I had food or not. Never again. This place should be shut down. Ya'll oughtta be ashamed of yourselves. Oh and the ambiance? Think old toy car museum meets employees that do no upkeep. Yup, never again! 0 stars if I could. read more

Well, unfortunately this place must have changed hands during COVid. What was once the place to get "magical" pancakes is now a total bust out. After waiting close to 30 mins if not more we were served the worst breakfast on the cape. My mushroom & provolone omelette was so over cooked that the eggs were paper-like. The mushrooms were bland and my grilled English muffin was barely toasted in the toaster and hardly buttered. My friend's blueberry pancakes were raw in the middle - all 3! There is definitely a language and culture difficulty there as anyone here knows that a grilled muffin is buttered and grilled on the flat top grill. We also had to ask for a coffee refill which should have been automatically done. Although the waitstaff was pleasant enough I cannot recommend this place anymore. Sorry. read more

What a hidden gem!! It's very small but MUCH MUCH better than all of the much higher priced breakfast places in Cape Cod. The quality is EXCELLENT and very reasonable (for the Cape). The ambiance is quirky retro (you'll see lol) and charming. I had the Florentine eggs Benny and hubby had the sampler with everything including pancakes. Was our BEST breakfast out of the six we had that week. And the lowest bill!! Highly recommend it. read more

Route 28 Diner - Retro, quirky, delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yarmouth, Massachusetts

This used to be my favorite breakfast place. It is now under new management. The service was good, the food was meh. The new menu has about half the options the previous one did, and there were no specials. Bacon was tasteless and rubbery. The toast we ordered was wheat, but we got pumpernickel, we let them know and they brought out more pumpernickel toast. The over easy eggs were cooked all the way through, but that's fine as we didn't have toast to dunk it in. I am disappointed in what this place has become. read more

We are here over the weekend. I was shocked how empty it was for a long weekend at the start of school vacation week. The food was good, I had the breakfast sandwich which was delivered piping hot after being grilled. I had to eat it open faced because it was so hot and I ordered the eggs over easy so it was drippy. The cheddar cheese had good flavor, not bland. The home fries appeared to be baked rather than fried because they were so evenly cooked but that was okay they were good. Service was friendly and helpful. read more

Something about a diner makes breakfast taste better. Throw in awesome service and an extremely low cost, and you've got yourself the Route 28 Diner. Everything we ordered was perfectly fresh and well presented even though we got take out. Their French toast and waffles are perfection. Do not miss out on an opportunity to go here. read more

I was not happy with my experience at Route 28 diner. We were initially told the wait would be 45min-1hr, then left our number and took a drive. 5 mins later we were called. That was great! However when we sat down to eat, three things bothered me: 1. Food took 40 minutes 2. My order (eggs over easy) was over cooked and a burnt piece of bacon was tossed on top of 3 other normal pieces. 3. The waitress never came back to ask if we wanted drink refills despite us waiting there for 40 mins for our food and being there over an hour total. Then as soon as we were down she gave us our check like she was waiting for us to finish. Will not go back. There are other places in the area that care more about their patrons with better food preparation and service. read more

Diner beware This used to be a favorite breakfast spot But when we pulled up today we discovered it was under new management So we went in cautious Oh boy The current eatery should not be called a diner. Prices have gone up about 50% percent and the menu has been sliced to bits. It doesn't stand out in any way. The 28 Diner used to be a delight of a breakfast place. A gem on Cape Cod with a range of breakfast options. Simple but diverse and affordable. read more

Surprisingly good corned beef hash. Eggs and toast were nothing special (not bad, just not memorable) but that corned beef hash was absolutely delicious. Also had a breakfast sandwich. That was also not memorable. Bumped up from three stars to four simply because of the hash. read more

Not for me. Small place. Servers forget order twice reminded. Food was OK. Cleanliness can be looked into.

Under new management. If you loved the old diner, prepare for sticker shock. The menu is all over the place, with a lot of favorites missing. And dear God...the prices. We were hoping for the normal breakfast after some medical tests.Breakfast for two will run plus 40.00.. I get it. Things cost more since COVID. But when you takeover a place known for good, affordable meals, call it something else. The following will expect the old stuff they love. Just a FYI. read more

We used to occasionally go to this restaurant to get delicious lemon poppyseed pancakes and the taco omelette. We went in today and to our disappointment the ownership has changed hands, and so has the menu, now there is nothing unique about it anymore. Our food arrived, the chocolate chip pancakes looked and tasted good according to my son. My husband said that his meat lovers omelette was good. I got eggs, sausage and home fries. The home fries were burnt, yet they served them that way to both of us. Our waitress never came back to see how we were doing or if we needed drink refills. I could let this slide if it were busy, but the 3 waitresses were too busy sitting in a booth chatting amongst themselves to be bothered with us. There was one other table occupied, so no there's no excuse for neglecting customers! After we were done I saw our waitress look back at us and I thought she was going to get up and bring us our check. Nope. After she did it a second time and just turned back around I had to ask for our check. Needless to say I won't be returning. Between the lackluster menu, burnt food and lousy service I don't see the point when there are many other breakfast options in the area. read more

Route 28 Diner - #1. The 28 Plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yarmouth, Massachusetts

Yummy food and great service! Portions are large. We split ours in two and get two meals from them.

Server not listening to what you ordering awful place. Wrong order they didn't even correct it. Just walking by ask for creamer many time. Ask for anything repeatedly on the table. Your meal will be delayed. Go to dunkin donuts is better service. Also skimped on sides. Runaway from this place new management or old sucks. Coffee tasted like water flavoured. Don't waste your money here. Bad service be aware. Sign says under new management but it's seriously awful experience. read more

This is not the same diner you used to love. Sort reviews by newest first, and notice since the new owners took over the place is a dumpster fire of poor service, high prices and mediocre food. Avoid. There are too many other better places: Piccadilly, Ann & Frans, even Pancake Man. read more

We ordered takeout from here for breakfast a few days ago. The omelette was light and fluffy with fresh veggies. My hubby had the eggs Benedict and said they were perfectly cooked and very tasty. The kids gobbled up the French toast sticks so that was a win! They have tables outside to sit which was a great option for us. read more

Where is the owner? There needs to be a much better system to seating guests and assigning waitresses. After being seated at the bar on a chair my chin is up to the counter i needed to ask for assistance, and even coffee after 15 mins of waiting. Place is dirty. Ripped seats, dirty rug, and 50s memorabilia make this establishment an Elvis horror movie. I read more

Tiny little place that seats about 50-60 people, Service was super friendly... our server was really good with Carter and even gave him a toy car to keep him occupied. There were specials written on a blackboard... I wasn't up for being too adventurous today. Cayla had "the route 28 plate" Cassidy at "the route 6" I had a basic 2 egg omelette with sausage and American cheese. read more

We were very upset to see that this local classic diner has changed hands This place was a little gem and it had very nice food - it was very inexpensive and lots of local people would go there including us apparently in March 2022 they sold it to people that although very pleasant made the menu very expensive and changed 99% of the menu. They had no specials of the day and The food was of very poor quality The old menu used to have delightful yogurt parfaits $4.98 also individually cooked oatmeal served with lots of fresh fruit and real maple syrup for $5.89 They used to have a fabulous taco omelette which was delicious everything on the old menu was under $10 Fabulous pancakes waffles whipped cream it was an amazing place I was shocked to see this current children's menu did not offer pancakes which was really ridiculous because what child does not like pancakes? My husband and I would go in there and eat almost every other weekend for about $23 Now they have on their menu steak and eggs for $23 and I dread to think what they taste like because the $11 eggs sausages patties and "home fries" were not worth finishing Very weak coffee I really hope they change their menu and their prices I noticed this on the memorial day weekend and the place wasn't full and usually there's a lineup of people waiting to get in the door and nowhere to park. Lots of locals used to go there. Unfortunate change to a cape cod staple. read more

I use to love this place...they had amazing pancakes too...went there for breakfast...must be under new management because definitely not the same food! Menu is limited...we asked for eggs over easy...all of them came out way over cooked...would not come back again. read more

The service staff here has obviously never been trained. Service was chaotic and slow, despite the restaurant being next to empty. The server forgot several basic things (butter for pancakes, the drinks we ordered, how things were requested to be cooked). She also poured hot coffee over my baby. The BLT was primarily lettuce and was served with salt & vinegar chips (fine by me, but many wouldn't like that and there is no warning). Breakfast potatoes were boring and eggs were over cooked. Would not return. read more

Great little diner. Cool owner and nice staff Delicious breakfast sandwiches and good coffee. read more

There was a sign before you entered stating "Under New Management" and it was obvious immediately after looking at the menu. The menu didn't have many of the items shown on photos and was really limited. I didn't get what I really wanted when deciding to go there. The people working (I'm going to assume they were the Owners) were nice and pleasant but the whole experience felt like they weren't used to running a diner. Hopefully, it'll get better after a while as they were genuinely nice people. read more

Such a shame the owners sold. We went in and there were only 3 other tables occupied, We ordered a breakfast sandwich and an omlette. An hour in we still didn't have our food. Staff didn't seem to care. Paid for our coffee and left. This used to be our favorite breakfast place. Can't go back. read more

We look forward to breakfast at the Rte 28 Diner every year on vacation - however this recent visit was a huge disappointment! Wish I had read the other reviews before going, but like I said this diner use to be tried and true. Apparently the owners have changed and you can tell. Not the same atmosphere, service or quality that we had come to expect. Our waitress all but ignored us and we had to flag her down to ask for coffee refills which should just be a standard part of the service. The food took an hour to cook. I think the staff has no previous restaurant experience and was filling one breakfast order at a time. I had a veggie omelet and it tasted like they put maple syrup in it. We will not be returning. read more

Visiting here from out of state and wanted to give this place a try. From the second we walked in the seats were so dirty and covered in syrup. Our waitress only took our order and I had to get up 5 times to ask for utensils, butter, a wet rag to clean my seat and the check. Another table left because they never got their food. I would just not recommend going to this diner ever. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. If I could give this negative stars, I would. A family of 4 came in and a couple came in after we ordered. The couple behind us order iced coffee, and was served iced tea. They got up and left. Twenty minutes after we ordered, one of the 8 waitresses came over and asked my husband how he wanted his eggs cooked. Mind you, he had said how me wanted them cooked in his order. Another family of 4 came in who seem to be fans of the restaurant were questioning everything since there is new management. The first family of 4 was served their food almost 40 minutes since we ordered ours. We called over one of the 8 waitresses and she asked us, did you guys want to order. We got up and left. That was the first time my husband and I have EVER left a restaurant. read more

There online menu is a 3rd of what their menu actually is. The prices are tripled if not quadruple (totally understand the food cost increase) They charged me $17 dollars for a kids French toast and a side of bacon. My husbands egg/ bacon burger was $4 dollars less. The burger was delicious!!!!!! Grilled cheese was perfection. Staff was eh. Never checked on us and we had to get up and ask for a box and check after being done we were waiting 15 minutes. read more

The door was locked. We asked if they had a table and they said that they didn't know. They let people go before us and then wanted us to give up our table to the people they let go before us because they didn't like their table. They didn't give us forks or knives. No salt on the table. Also the food sucked. read more

Great food, excellent service and a fun environment. Omelets were overstuffed and blueberry pancakes were delicious.

Awesome little diner. The place gives off such a cool old school vibe, and more importantly the food is really good for a low price. It's also really nice that they offer all the traditional breakfast staples that are expected of a diner, along with many unique and unconventional dishes from their menu of specials. I had the sweet potato pancakes and thanksgiving benny. I really liked the sweet potato pancakes since they weren't too sweet and had a nice cinnamon flavor. I was also able to ask for honey to eat with them. And the thanksgiving benny was great. It was an eggs benedict, but with turkey and stuffing. I like how they put a bunch of turkey meat on the english muffin, and the stuffing went really well with the eggs and hollandaise. I'd definitely eat here again if I was looking for a nice cheap breakfast or brunch, and the service is great, too. read more

So. I own a cottage about a mile away from here. I do AirBNB and stay there alot myself. I go here every time I am on the cape more than once a week if I am beaching it. I also highly recommend our renters go early in the stay, they are probably going to go back several times if they do. Please be aware that this is cash only! But there is an ATM near by. This is a super retro car culture diner. It is small, you might drive by it and miss it but you need to do a U turn and come back. It is worth it. This gem is frequented by locals but has caught on to travelers in the know. If you are getting up early to get a good beach spot or travel to all the Cape Areas stop here. Perfectly made mainstream american diner breakfast food that you wished you mom/dad/yourself could make ;) But they have a creative side beyond mom/dad make me breakfast, I only want this basics. Take a step on the chefs side or the kids side or somewhere in the middle. Oh and did I mention they don't overcharge like most Cape establishments? Honestly you are missing out if you don't give it a shot! read more

Something to note- this establishment is cash only!! When visiting the cape we must always stop at Route 28 Diner! It gives you the true diner feel and the service is great. We visit frequently in the summer and this is the only place we will stop for breakfast, not to mention when we come in the winter, they're open!! You will always find something new every time you go as the specials board (there are multiple) are always changing. read more
