Stopped by just before the 1 pm rush and got seated immediately. I had the buttermilk short stack with pork sausage and my friend had the turkey club. Had to ask for the air conditioner to be turned down (it was freezing, and I like it cold). Waitress accommodated request by adjusting the fin on the mini split. Thank you! Pancakes were HUGE and I love old fashioned sausage links. Took half home for later! Club was substantially sized as well. "Best fries I've had in my life" says friend.

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch on President's Day and had an enjoyable experience. The diner does not take reservations and there was a long line, but it moved pretty quickly. (A sign of a great restaurant is when there's a line out the door)! We waited about 20-25 mins to be seated. This place is cash-only, but that's part of its fifties era charm. They are not open for dinner, but their breakfast and lunch menus are huge and have a lot of variety. The restrooms were clean, which is of great importance to me when writing a review!The food was fresh and delicious- I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and he got the Classic Club Sandwich with fries and a side of fruit. We were pleased with the value. The portions were generous and we spent about $40 for the two of us. Our server was attentive and checked in on us frequently.The ambience is low key, casual, and very much how I envision a real fifties diner would have been. There are photos of Elvis on the wall! Even though it's busy, the tables are spaced far enough apart so that it doesn't feel crowded. It was actually pretty quiet and we had no trouble hearing each other.I would definitely come back here for lunch and I also want to try their brunch since the menu looks really good! I'm so glad I stumbled on this hole-in-the-wall diner which is a true gem!

I was in Dedham for an early morning appointment and stopped to the 50s diner for breakfast. It was easy to find and had parking. I was surprised that they were cash only but said okay knowing I would need to use the ATM inside the restaurant. I was greeted promptly and being a solo diner asked if I wanted to sit at the counter or a table. I chose a table. The menu was at the table and had both breakfast and lunch items. The interior was decorated 50s themed with decor and pictures. Service was quick and fast price point was great! I got the breakfast burrito for 6.50 and a side of French toast for 3.70 along with a cranberry juice. To total was less than $15! Great deal and yummy breakfast. If I'm ever in the area again I'll return.

Been here before and had wonderful experiences with food and service.Not today babay! Myself and 1 elderly guest came in today and we waited to be seen for 15 minutes as they seated folks at the bar. We didn't get a smile, greeting, not even a "please wait while we get ourselves together " we just stood there looking insanely ridiculous!!!! I asked for the manager to explain and lo and behold we have a seat! Go figure! At this point, I'm not even waiting to taste the food before I review. If ignoring us was racially motivated, that really sucks! On the other hand, they may just be hiring incompetent, and careless staff. Will probably be another 3 years before I visit again!

Came here for breakfast a local spot very vintage spot old school! Has a nice atmosphere! I got 2 eggs over easy bacon (crispy) you get home fries and I got French toast with butter and powered sugars, cup of coffee. The service was excellent my server was welcoming friendly and made sure my cup was refilled when almost empty. Will be back again. the bathroom was clean and the tables where clean in restaurant! They do lunch also but haven't tried yet only been here during breakfast time.

First time eating here. I was in the area shopping and the frappes on their website looked yummy. And yes, they were. I ordered one and apparently it comes as two. Bonus! Though I wasn't expecting it. I tried my best two drink both and took the second in a to go cup. It was very light and the cream on top was delicious. Had the hot dog with fries. It was good. My waitress was very nice. The only downfall was being placed at the table at the men's room door. I understand because it was only me they didn't want to seat me at the bigger table, but it's not the best to eat food. I find it gross. Other than that, cute little place.

This place offers excellent breakfast and lunch options. The walls are adorned with 1950s memorabilia, and there's a small counter available if you prefer not to wait for a table. The staff is friendly and service is quick. Be prepared for a wait if you visit on the weekend for breakfest , but it's definitely worth it. I've been coming here for years. Note that it's cash only..
