My Diner

Just visited this place for the first time and will definitely be coming back. Our coffee was brought promptly and the waiter was very friendly. The menu is massive and has everything you could ever want for breakfast. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are huge. Come to my diner for a great breakfast experience!

The only downfall is that this place didn’t have more parking and dining space. The food was fresh and the portions were filling. The price was definitely reasonable and we had adequate service. It seemed they could use a bit more help as our waiter was clearly taking care of more than half the tables!

Friendly, great portions, even better prices. Chelsea, our waitress, was so good we decided to be friends with her. Chelsea if you see this, Autumn and Debbie say hi. Definitely visiting this place again.

Love this place for breakfast, it’s everything a diner should be. Great portions for great prices. The turkey hash is a must try.

Great breakfast. Awesome wait staff. Go here for that great egg breakfast! Get the three eggs sunny side with some Italian sausage and English muffin drooling with butter. Real cool homey spot!

Another good option in the neighborhood for a classic home town type diner. Like with most of these diners, the food isn’t GREAT, or even ALMOST great, but it’s good enough, they have reliable menu, and the service is endearing in its own way. It gets really busy on weekends, so plan ahead. I recommend asking for the home fries well done.

Hmm… so I’m still scratching my head as to why this is 4.5−5 stars? Why oh why? I love hidden gems, great to grab deals like the next gal but I have to disagree with my fellow Unilocalers here. I didn’t see anything out of an ordinary diner meal? Besides being totally confused when I entered about seating/​waiting arrangements, the food, at best, is definitely diner style and quality.
FOOD:
We both ordered the Spanish Salsa and Cheese omelet. It definitely was sufficient. Great? I think that might be a stretch though. We also shared an order of the French toast. Not bad but again, decent but nothing to report home about.
ADVICE:
Spend an extra $ 5 somewhere else and get something you know will be infinitely better but hey, that’s just me. If you’re hungover and anything will do and you’re in Southie, come here… er…that is, if there isn’t a long line? Couple of MUCH better diners if you are willing to travel: North Street Grille in North End or Mad Hatter Café in Weymouth!

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.

Went back here again the other day and the food was a complete 180 from our first experience.
My omelette was much smaller, they were complete out of their house roasted turkey, which was one of the main reasons I came back! My toast was kinda stale tasting and cold, Andy waitress refused to let me substitute anything for the potatoes, which came out extra greasy and much less satisfactory than the first time we had them.
I’m pretty sure it was a completely different cook, and that was NOT a good thing at all. Bummer

Huge portion! Friendly service ! Very attentive waitress.
Since my workplace is down the street so this place is very convenience for my lunch craving. I usually get the Farmer with 3 eggs (sun sideup), 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 pancakes or 2 French toast, home fries & toast. I used to get the pancakes but then switched up to French Toast (my wise decision ever lol).
The food is great and won’t break your wallet.

Inexpensive and huge.
I had the greek omelette which I think had 6 eggs it was so big and was a great mixture of feta, olives, and tomato. It came with a good size portion of home fries which were also great and 2 slices of buttered toast, and I mean BUTTERED.
Quick service.
Sometimes cash only.

Truly amazing breakfast. We got a crazy amount of food for a small sum of money, with bottomless coffee. One of my favorite breakfast places

Not bad but it ain’t like OMG this is the best eggs out there.
Wuz the only brown cat up in dur

Huge Portions, Great Food at Diner prices. They forgot to mention friendly service.
I’ve been meaning to go to My Diner for a while now. The 3 eggs for $ 3.99 sign drew me in. But instead I got the #1 Southie Omelette (corned beef hash and Vermont cheddar). He got the Spinach Tomato Swiss Omelette. My corned beef hash was the best I’ve had in boston. The home fries were solid hunks of potatoes as well, not too salty or burnt. The coffee was standard diner coffee, can’t say much about it.
The ambiance is great. Having breakfast at 9am on a weekday, I was sitting with folks from the Boston Fire Dept, Boston Police, and National Park Service. A few hipsters, a few Southie locals. Good mix overall and representative of modern Boston. The menus are on the table and specials are written up on a board. Optional counter seating.

I was wanting lunch/​brunch in the South Boston part of town, and my Unilocal search turned up My Diner! It is a short distance off from West Broadway, yet it was a whole different industrial neighborhood in which we found ourselves.
Some streets do not allow parking, so I had to drive around a bit before I found somewhere legal to leave my car for a few hours on a Saturday.
My Diner is located on a corner spot. Once I made my way within, I found it to be pretty good sized, but tables were best situated for parties of four or two, and there was a counter ideal for the singleton diner or for pairs.
We wanted to try the well touted hashes, so we got both by ordering the Homemade turkey hash & eggs $ 6.50 with a side of corned beef hash $ 3.25. The meats in both hashes were completely pulverized and cooked up into a thick patty with a crisp crust. One dc claimed that hashes are meant to be eaten with the eggs, and thus the overtly saltiness. I forget which of the two hashes I preferred, but the winner of the day was clearly Ela’s Waffle $ 6.95 Peanut butter, honey, banana, whipped cream. It was much more than the sum of its parts, and was absolutely delicious.
To sample their French toast, we also got the Farmer’s $ 7.75 3 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 pancakes or 2 French toast, home fries & toast. For the toast, we were given the options of white, wheat, rye, raisin. The bacon strips weren’t particularly crispy, so I preferred the sausage links. The French toast were two mismatched slices, a little tough, and nothing that I would yearn to get again.
Yes, Elsa’s Waffle was the winner. And it wasn’t like the waffle itself was anything special — it wasn’t one of those lovely crisp tender specimens. But the whole combination of ingredients was just terrific.
The sole bit of annoyance was the chilly breeze that hit my back every time the door opened.

Bummer —

Cozy place for locals. Super friendly staff. Seat yourself. Strong coffee and homey feel. Don’t go for the ambiance, go for a great breakfast/​brunch.
I got the turkey hash eggs bennedict and my boyfriend got the regular hash… both were seasoned perfectly! Potatoes on the side were cooked to perfection.
We walked from the convention and expo center. It was a little less than a mile and through some industrial section, but it was a refreshing walk and a great meal!

My boyfriend and I took a weekend trip to Boston and were looking for a local diner and this place turned out to be perfect. We went on a Saturday morning and it was pretty packed which is always a sign that it should be pretty good and it was! It looks pretty small from the outside but trust me you won’t regret eating there. I ordered an egg white omelette with cheese which came with home fries and your choice of toast (I chose wheat toast) and it was delicious! My boyfriend also ordered a ham and cheese omelette with home fries and toast — he said it was «above average» quality haha. Okay so the food was great and what was even better were the prices. Our delicious and very filling meal came out to around 13 dollars and some change! That is so cheap! Usually in NJ we spend around twenty something dollars.
Bottom line:
If I lived in Boston, this would be my go-​to diner. Staff is friendly, delicious food, and cheap prices.

My Unilocal app has been one of those things I just can’t live without, especially when I’m on vacation! This morning, we had some time before our conference so we took an Über car over to a place close to the hotel, My Diner. The Unilocal reviews were particularly good and the cost seemed way too reasonable.
Catching the A street really makes you appreciate the exposed brick buildings this city has to offer. My Diner is located in one of those types of buildings and really brings a lot of character to the area. The inside is your very basic diner décor. The tiles, tables and chairs were definitely outdated, but if their intent was to go with a diner themed furniture, I think they hit the mark! Some of the art on the walls were a little weird. A wall of random flowers threw me off a bit. Overall, I’d say the place didn’t really give a good first impression. The staff was definitely normal than professional but I noticed that the customers in today were regulars. The waitresses knew them by first name and kept saying, «see you again, Joe,» or «Until next time, take it easy.» That might have made the informal service valid. Nevertheless, I was ready to try some breakfast!
For my meal, I got an orange juice for $ 1.95 and the Homemade Corned Beef Hash and Eggs for $ 6.50. The orange juice was thick and super concentrated, great for a morning pick me up! The corned beef hash was served with griled potato chunks and my choice of bread, I chose a bagel. The potatoes were grilled nicely! Some crispy parts, some soft parts, great balance. The corned beef hash was great! Lots of potato filler in it and some herbs which gave it a lot of flavor. I also chose 3 over easy eggs which only enhanced the entire experience. Definitely should try this out!
The place was sketchy but showed off some good character, the staff was a bit informal, the prices were hard to beat and the food was great. Overall, I would say that I’m definitely a fan of this place. If you’re in the area, you need to check this place out! I promise it won’t break the bank!
