Four Sisters Owl Diner makes the best breakfast for anyone that comes to grab a bite to eat; from the locals to the visitors. I had the Lafayette st. Omelet and it was delicious! Me and my family will be coming here for breakfast the next time we visitπŸ‘πŸ‘

Always a great experience. Great staff, very friendly and efficient. They do get very busy, so please keep that in mind if your server takes a little longer to ask for your coffee to be refilled or whatever.There is sometimes a long line/wait to get seated, but I promise the food and experience is well worth the wait.

Good servive. My hash & eggs were excellent. Wifes omlette was okay. We both loved the potatoes. The girls: their chowder was great. One also got a chicken salad sandwich, which she loved. The other got a couple hot dogs, which were turkey dogs. Not so good. Waitresses were friendly and on the spot. Cool, old-time environment.

Wait time of 40 minutes. Bacon burned to dog treats. Most people only appreciate the place for nostalgia. Service was terrible, they acted annoyed when requested water. Only good part was a dish boy who picked up my fathers wallet. Frankly its overrated, and I know this rating won’t change anything but warn you to not expect quick service for a chocolate pancake.

A diner tucked not far from the courthouse. Its simple but comfortable. The food was average and we had the breakfast over there. Ive been there before and I might go back. Its worth a visit its easy access. The only truly remarkable aspect was a service which was wonderful but I dont think at this stage for my experiences I would give it a fair rating and I would encourage others to go there and try the food for themselves

Good food, reasonable pricing. The main dining area can get rather noisy for those who are sensitive or have difficulty hearing. I recommend one of the booths near the front entrance if it is available.

Portions are small. I got the hungry owl. The bacon tasted like cleaning products and the pancakes were super dry. Then the French toast was almost uncooked. The eggs bennie was good though. Hot and very well done. There was lots of meat on it. Overall, not worth the price. The wait staff was amazing though and super lovely.

Pretty cool retro environment base around an old metal dinnibg car with additional dinning space added. It is very cozy. The breakfast was served fast and hot. I am a tea drinker and they served a good bag for the tea not a cheap generic tea bag that saved them 2 cents. The location was not overly crowded probably due to the Corona scare. Service was adequate. Was a Dinners Driveins and Dives pick. Definitely worth trying

Excellent breakfast at a vintage dining car. A thick slab of ham and baked beans with my eggs. And everything youve read about their awesome home fries is true! I read another review that said cash only, however they had a sign posted stating credit cards accepted for the check, tips are cash only.

Best breakfast place in Lowell MAThe Four Sisters Owl Diner is a primary resource in my neighborhood at just a short walk - lucky me! Ive eaten at the great place for years. I do have to cross either busy Dutton Street or jammed Thorndike Street to get there, and if I arrive for breakfast I can choose a Dutton Street Omelet, a Thorndike Street Omelet ... or omelets named after several other Lowell Streets.What do I love about The Owl? 1. Delicious, nourishing, authentic home-style food - at a fair price; 2. Friendly service, with a true family & neighbors atmosphere and conversations. 3. The structure itself ... the diner section is a genuine Worcester Lunch Car built (of course) in Worcester, Massachusetts My waitress for breakfast the other day - direct descendant of one of the four sisters. My chef, Dave - the best and always at the grill serving greetings and perfect orders, and loyal to the Merrimack Valley scene. I often sit at the counter (14 seats) near the action at the grill, as Dave is expert.By the way, I can now pay the bill by credit card, but I leave a cash tip (easier). And there is plenty of parking in a lot across Favod Street from The Owl.I hope it is ok to quote a selection from a fellow Lowellian (Paul Marion): Year-in, year-out the Owl holds its own in the city eatery competition. The formula is proven: good food, fair price, friendly service, familiar company, and distinctive setting. The Owl is a highly charged space with the intangible attractive quality that a special place offers. If a community had chakras, then the Owl would be a candidate for such a β€œforce center” in the city. I don’t know if that vibe is sourced in the billions of words spoken within its walls over decades or in the embedded social magnet that keeps pulling people into its sphere. All I know is that you can sense it when you enter. Or maybe it’s just the mixed aroma of coffee and homefries?

I loved it but my wife said it was ok. The baked beans had no flavor, but otherwise everything was great for me. Not sure why resteraunts dont mix the ingredients with the eggs instead of just laying it in. For me... Eggs, ham, home fries and toast.. yum. Chocolate chip pancake was really good - only complaint is why why why do people put whipped cream on pancakes - YUCK. Show it on the menu - whipped cream on your pancake sorry. Came with a bunch and had to scrap it off. Service was terrific. Fast food. Definitely will come back.

The home fries are usually excellent, crispy & well seasoned. Coffee is decent too, which I appreciate as I drink it black. Beaver & pals like the pancakes & chocolate milk.

This is a very old & dingy diner. The booth we were seated at was incredibly small for 4 people. One of our dishes did not come out as asked but it was corrected. I had a sausage & cheese omelet which was delicious. The prices are average.

The food was ok, what I didnt like was the beacon was pre cooked from the night before, it didnt give the meal the complete freshness, I felt like someone left beacon behind and I had there seconds. The waitress was hot and friendly and refilling my cup, if it wasnt for the waitress it would have been a lower score.

I used to come here when I was a kid, and its been about twenty years. I was pleasantly surprised. The food is traditional, stick-to-your-ribs diner food (light and fresh this isnt). If youre in the mood for coffee, eggs, home fries, and beans then this is the place. I ordered an omelet from the counter and was pleased with the prompt service, flavor of the food, and friendliness of the waiter. If I was craving an old-school diner meal this would be a first pick over other places in the area like Dream Diner.

This diner is an institution of Lowell and for good reason. The food is great and the atmosphere is fun and casual. I love the vintage juke box and the art representing Lowells history.
