The food was decent, just basic breakfast items. I like how quaint this place feels and customer service was great. Probably the only thing I dislike was the utensils, find the fork and knife to feel blunt. Its a decent place for a decent breakfast.

The Steak and cheese omelette was to die for! I honestly was caught by surprise. I met the owners mom Athena, she was so nice. Made me feel like I was home.

Got to say I was udderly disappointed. Got good recommendations from friends and family but when I went, not so much. Waitstaff was nice and that was the lone bright spot. I ordered a bacon omelet, home fries and a English Muffin. First the bacon was rubbery, the eggs had a funny taste to them and in what universe do you not mix cheese and bacon to make your omelet? One slice of a partially melted cheese on top with partially cooked bacon on the side.I asked for my English Muffin to be toasted and it was cooked on the grill. No butter and no jelly? Am I supposed to bring my own in?

Berry stuffed French Toast was fantastic! I have ALWAYS had syrup on my French toast until.. I tried the Berry Stuffed French toast sans syrup 🥰 Food is served up with a smile and, an endearing genuine Boston accent😊

Dont be fooled by the small, strip-mall entrance. This is a large diner with great food choices and big portions for good prices. There are traditional options and modern takes on the classics. I had an omelette stuffed with corned beef and sweet potato, with a delicious grilled English muffin...a house specialty. My friend had a traditional egg breakfast with the biggest blueberry pancakes I have ever seen as a side. I cant wait to go back and work my way through some more of the menu!

Classic suburban restaurant with wide selection of standard meals for every taste. The staff paid attention to disinfecting surfaces between customers. Tucked into a small mall, it is nonetheless worth a visit.

This is a great breakfast spot & it’s one of those places with a pretty good amount of options. I usually prefer egg whites & when I saw that you can substitute regular omelette with egg whites I was very pleased. It’s a clean diner with plenty of seating it does get busy but that’s to be expected since they do serve some good breakfast options. The only issue I had was that the Nutella waffle came with only one & for the 8$ price I would have expected to bring 2 which did catch me off guard since they do have French toast & pancakes stacks with at least 2 or more. Other than that it’s a pretty great breakfast joint & will definitely come back again soon.

Expect a wait for breakfast on the weekend but it’s worth it! When we arrived it looked like a lot of people were waiting but it only took ~20 minutes to get seated. The service is great here with friendly staff and the food came out extremely quickly once we placed our order. I got the Miami omelette which was delicious and would recommend to those who like spicy!

First visit after hearing lots of good reviews. 10 min wait for a table at noon time on Friday. Host was very friendly and kept things running smoothly. Cool decor, warm, happy vibe, happy diners. Dad got the baked haddock dinner, came with REAL mashed potatoes and greenbeans and a California omelet with home fries and sourdough toast. Also got 1 pancake on the side. Dad said haddock serving was huge, fresh and delicious, he was very happy. My omelet was delicious. Good chunks of bacon, fresh tomatoes, cheese and fresh chunks of avocado, delicious. Pancake was different than I expected. I expected the fluffy, doughy type you get at IHOP. It was different though. It almost tasted as though it had a little corn flour in it.....like a corn pancake without the grit. It was great! I loved it! Couldnt even eat it all. Our waitress was very busy, but wonderful. We will be back for sure!

Review №34

The Iron Town Diner has a large variety of entrees to choose from. However, the quality of the food has gone down. They admitted that they use canned string beans. There really is a huge difference in flavor and health benefits, when fresh string beans are served. Their turkey breast is very fatty along the edges. When confronted, they make excuses. However, they did try to please us by giving us a free dessert and taking the soups off the bill.

This review is for brunch experience.Me and my friend went here on Friday around 10, quite busy and crowded, and still have people waiting in line. Server is nice, noise level is high.The food is average and nothing special. I asked for a medium steak, and the steak was cooked almost well done. My partner ordered a philly Benedict,the problem we have was that both my sirloin steak and my partner’s philly steak were gamy and didn’t have any seasoning in it.

Stellar! Great breakfast food, and great gyros and other lunch fare for those who dont like eggs. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and lively, and the wait staff are polite, quick, and pleasant. The only downside is that theyve closed their outdoor seating for the year as of early November!

🍴Almond/Raspberry PancakesMediterranean Omlet w/BaconBaked Potato CustardA 20min wait, during a rainy day, on a Sunday, kinda had me worried that I was not going to enjoy this breakfast. Was I wrong! Our waitress was amazing, to think towards the end of your shift youd be tired of explaining the house special, not her.Clean Restaurant, Great Waitress, Great Food. I have no reason to give it anything less than a 5!

Well, I think I have officially reached stalker status with this place. I went about a week ago for the first time, and I’ve been three times since. Their soup is the stuff that dreams are made of, better than New England soup factory. And their salads are amazing, they don’t have that thick white dressing they have the real Greek vinaigrette ... it’s amazing. The woman at the front is lovely, she is always friendly and helpful. I hope they don’t get sick of me coming in to buy soup every day because that is where my life is headed.

The food was very delicious and they give very BIG portions. Deana our server was unbelievable. Have not had that kind of service in a very long time. She made out Family visit today absolutely worth it and she has a great heart. She went out of her way to replace a French toast meal we forgot to mention we were going to take home. She did it all with a smile too. Such a great meal and we will definitely return.

Review №86

The brisket in my brisket Benedict was trash. Dry and old, seemingly refrigerated and reheated to serve, as it had that shiny green old meat look.And the waitress spilled coffee on me but I dont care as much about that as the crummy brisket they served me.Side note: everyone else in my party enjoyed their breakfast, and we got a carrot cake pancake that was pretty good.Those redeemed the place from getting a zero rating, that brisket was so bad...

Review №87

Warning: the pancakes are HUGE! I got the guacamole bacon benedict special, added a little sriracha, and it was really delicious. My friends got the lamb plate with mashed potatoes and carrots (which was cooked just right and also delicious), and the fruity pebble cinnabon pancake special. Those were very sweet with the cinnabon drizzle on top but otherwise also good! Service was very nice and prompt. Great experience.
