Oh yeah...they have 25 + years in the same family. Seasonal specials and prices ... pretty much what you would expect from a diner regardless of where you were in this country...done to perfection. Excellent coffee. And wait, one may call in (617) 923-2369 to put their name on the list to be seated. If they don't pick up - they're too busy working the kitchen. What's not to like...their breakfast rocks!

Yum! Stopped in Sat for brunch. It was busy but I easily found a free spot on the street and they…read morequickly found me a spot at the counter. My seat mate strangers were friendly. My steak and eggs was a good value and cooked perfectly. My toast tasted hand-buttered- not swiped with a melted butter brush like many kitchens. Service with a smile. I'm not a regular but I could tell many were based on the conversations. The menu has many options and they have specials - both entrees and bakery- on some boards. They also have some outdoor seating. Don't walk out if you go in and there's a wait- they're very friendly and efficient at seating. The bread (banana?) looked epic. Next time.

It's a cute cafe with nice outdoor seating and the food is good, but the service isn't great. I…read morefelt super rushed when ordering despite being the only person in line the morning I was there. The girl who took my order didn't really give us a chance to look at the menu, stared, and rushed me when I was speaking which threw me off a bit. They also serve you through a window (looks like a makeshift drive-thru, or "walk-thru") which is cool, but I noticed the same girl was getting easily annoyed when customers weren't quick to receive their order. She also made my coffee in a unique way which really surprised me. They have a giant jug of iced coffee that they keep in the bottom cabinet, instead of having drip or brew. The coffee itself was pretty decent, though. My ham and cheese crepe was okay but there was not enough ham or cheese, it was mostly just egg. My friend's portion was also small but the food was good. I think I would give it another shot.

The signage is weak. The only sign is a decal on the window. I drove past it a couple of times…read morebefore I found it. Don't blink or you will miss it. I don't know how they get any traffic with the sign they have. It was cold inside. Time to turn on the heat. The Spot has a counter in back with a few bakery items. There were eight tables in front. The walls were filled with eclectic items. They have a woman that waits on the tables, provides menu and serves. She spends all her time behind the counter rather than waiting on tables. I ordered a Sara's omelette that includes three vegetables and 3 eggs. I chose spinach, mushroom and broccoli. I had fruit cup of melon, pineapple, cantaloupe and strawberries in lieu of toast and hash browns. The omelet was very good with lots of veggies inside. The fruit cup was on the small size but it beats additional carbs. I had to wait for my bill. I think they forgot about me. I finally had to get up and ask for bill. I would have to try again before I would pass judgement.

Finally visited this cute neighborhood "Spot" with my husband…read more We were surprised when we entered, the inside looks larger and cozier than we expected. It wasn't too busy - there are 6ish tables and one server was waiting tables. She was very warm and friendly. I ordered two eggs over easy and my husband got an omelet. The food was decent, and prices are so affordable. However the potatoes were very bland and hard, and portion was small. Also they had forgotten the potatoes in my order although it comes with the meal but I mentioned it and it was corrected. We also ordered the Belgian waffle to share which definitely isn't "Belgian" style but it was good! Overall decent, I'd come again just for the cozy, warm vibe. I'm interested in trying their lunch menu next!

Wilson's Diner offers plenty of very tasty breakfast and lunch options in a very casual ambiance…read more However, the real reason to check it out is the opportunity to eat a meal in a historic railcar diner that's been around since 1946. The perfectly preserved railcar diner (even down to the original refrigerator and clock on the wall) is only one of a few dozen still operating as a diner out of the hundreds that built by the Worcester Lunch Car Co. in the 1940s and 1950s. Maria Kitidis Mackay and her father George bought the diner in January 2020 and one or both of them are usually working the griddle daily.. as they were when I recently visited. I recently stopped in for breakfast two days in a row while visiting friends in Concord and the food was excellent both times. On my first visit, I had the two-egg platter ($8) with a unique Greek loukaniko sausage (+$7). The next day, I had the same platter with traditional pork sausage links (+$3). Both platters came with home fries and toast, and everything was incredibly fresh, hot, and really tasty. My dining companion also thoroughly enjoyed her meals and the classic diner ambiance. She tried the Florentine benedict ($14), which came topped with perfectly sautéed spinach and tomato, and on the next visit went with the spinach and feta omelet ($13). Our servers stopped by a few times to ensure everything was good. The only minor disappointment we experienced was that our servers didn't offer to refill our coffee, but otherwise, it was a fantastic visit. Maybe I should have asked? It is a terrific experience all around. Highly recommend checking this place out if you want great food, unique history, and a classic diner atmosphere! Even taking away a 1/2 star for our coffee snafu, it's still a solid 4.5 stars for the overall experience -- rounded up to 5 stars. PRO TIP: Bring cash. Wilson's does not accept credit cards.

I was in town visiting family, and stumbled onto this really cute old fashioned railroad style…read morediner! They have a free parking lot but there is also street parking available. Cash only! Items are on the pricier side. They mainly serve breakfast and lunch items. We opted for breakfast: -- House Special Omelet $18: was meh. The omelet was ok, and came with toast of your choice, and a generous portion of home fries. I'd order something else next time. -- Corned Beef Hash Benedict $18: this was great! Very satisfying and recommended! This also came with a very generous side of home fries. -- Side of bacon $4/3 strips: we asked for extra crispy bacon and that's exactly what we got. Sooo good! -- Coffee $3: decent coffee with free refills. Great customer service. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Recommended!!

For food we ordered the eggplant sando and the chicken piccata sandwich. While both tasted good, I was surprised at how much more I enjoyed the eggplant one. The eggplant was breaded well and crispy without feeling too heavy on oil. The rest of the sandwich with arugula and roasted red peppers also felt fresh. The chicken sandwich was also good with thin layers of chicken, and flavored well. However I liked the chicken where as for eggplant I felt the sandwich as a whole worked well. While busy, it still feels like enough movement of groups that you can easily find a seat. The staff is also very friendly making it a neighborhood spot I would definitely come back to.

The bacon was crispy, broccoli roasted with seasoning, a perfectly cooked over medium egg all on a brioche bun. There was also spicy goat cheese spread on the slider, however there wasn't a lot there to taste it with every bite and it certainly wasn't spicy. I would have loved more of it, because the bites that did get some were absolutely delicious in enhancing flavor with the egg. The sandwich itself is larger than expected, bigger than a typical slider which was a pleasant surprise. I also ordered an incredible Apple Cheddar biscuit on the side. It was freshly made, buttery, and had little apple chunks in it. Great experience and I highly recommend visiting if you're looking for quick and convenient breakfast, with a great quality and fair price!

The decorations are very festive. They lean into over the top. This makes it a great place for kids and adults that appreciate quirky things. The staff are very nice and friendly. The way they lean into over the top theming can make this feel more like a quirky restaurant in New York then something on moody st. I would love to see more character in Massachusetts restaurants and In a pickle is leading by example. Bad: The TVs with with America's funny home videos can be a little much. The home fries have way too much salt.

There was no gossiping. Very professional. There is a wall of chocolates and snacks you can also purchase. Lots of room and tables to sit. The white fence and blue walls give it a Cape Cod feel. The avocado toast was tasty. It had a runny egg on top. I would have preferred metal utensils vs plastic ware. But there were no metal forks left. The plastic fork wasn't cutting it (get it?). Hubby got the breakfast sandwich: ham on English muffin. It didn't fill him up so he got another ham and cheese croissant. I would have preferred the cheese heated but hubby didn't mind it cold. The croissant was buttery and flaky though. Before we left we got some cold drinks from the fridge. They had some sparkling teas--Tea soda! Gonna try out the Blue Tea Jasmine.
