Galley Diner — Restaurant in Boston

Hi Galley Diner,

Ate here today and everyone was so nice, thank you so much for the delicious food. Sitting down for breakfast instantly made me emotionally invested in the people, the history, and the business.

I do have some notes - and this comes from a place of love.

Takeout Orders needs to stop. We arrived at 10:30 for a 2 top, waited 30 minutes to be sat, and then waiting another 45 minutes for our orders to be taken. The kitchen can’t handle that amount of volume, and it hurts the experience for the people who are coming to dine in.

It’s a small restaurant and efficiency is really key. Between the bread station, and the grill, the coffee machine and bus station - I think it would do you well to re-imagine the flow. Don’t put the hollandaise sauce in the back with the dishwasher. Making sure the ham is pre-cut every morning would save a lot of time.

In general decluttering would help, more prep time, and to focus on the in dining experience would help turn tables faster.

I have a sneaking suspicion that over the years the experience has changed, and I would like to see Galley get back to what...

THE GALLEY DINER IS THE BEST! HUGE PORTIONS! NOT EXPENSIVE. THE BEST HOME FRIES AND CORNED BEEF HASH. I GET MY EGGS OVER EASY AND THEY ARE PERFECT EVERY TIME! HUGE OMELETS.. I RECOMMEND THE HOUSE OMELETS WHICH COME PACKED WITH MEAT OF YOUR CHOICE, CHEESE AND VEGGIES . THIS PLACE IS GREAT.THE BEST DINER I'VE EVER EATEN AT. FAMILY OWNED AND THEY HAVE VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE TOO! THE ATMOSPHERE IS AMAZING WITH AN OLD SCHOOL VIBE. VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE DECOR KEEP YOU BUSY & INTRIGUED. PLENTY OF CONVERSATION STARTERS AS WELL AS AWARDS, RECOGNITION FROM PHANTOM GOURMET AND IS A TRUE...

Came in this morning for the first time in a long time, and Galley Diner is still as good as ever. Service is fast and the food is phenomenal! Prices are very good as well, especially for the city. Seating is somewhat limited though so there may be a wait, especially on weekends. As this is a traditional diner, most seating is at the counter overlooking the flattop with a handful of tables behind that can accommodate groups of four. The hand-carved ham and the Southie omelette are both...
