Best breakfast place in Lowell MA

The Four Sisters Owl Diner is a primary resource in my neighborhood at just a short walk - lucky me! I've 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 “force 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?"
