Omelets & classic diner sandwiches draw locals to this old-school, family-owned lunch counter.

The truth is that I found this place typing breakfast on Google maps. We came to Boston for the weekend, family and friends trip from NYC. Since we were staying in Cambridge and we were 8 min away in car. And every single picture looked like this was a place were we could find homestyle American classic breakfast we decided to give it a try. Did NOT disappoint, on the contrary, we were so thrilled with everything that we came in the very next day (meaning today) for a second round. And once again, we left happier than ever. We got coffee and hot chocolate as beverages (do yourself a favor a get hot chocolate!). As mains we got steak and eggs, couple of omellets, couple of two eggs with meats, the diner breakfast with blueberry pancakes and the smoke house bbq chicken (last one from the lunch menu) And after all of that, we dared to try the cinnamon bun and the lemon cake. EVERYBODY was pleased and happy, and it's never an easy task being a group of seven adults. The service was absolutely amazing both days, they were cordial since we walked in the door. Hosts did an amazing job keeping the list (because there was a list, since it was Saturday and Sunday at 10am. Of course there was wait, but it goes by so fast. I promise, its worth the wait!) Servers were wonderful. Kaitlyn took care of us on Saturday and Kenneth was the one on duty for Sunday. Both equally friendly and helpful. I absolutely recommend to give this place a try!

The food here is always delicious! Eggs are cooked spot on, every single time. The specials are creative and delicious! If you're a water drinker, your table is given a chilled carafe of water that is replenished without request. Your delicious, well balanced coffee is refilled without having to hunt down a server. The staff here is extraordinarily well trained and work as a team to ensure you have a great experience. The owner is typically at the door to greet you on the way in and acknowledge you on the way out. Although the building looks like a diner, this is anything but diner food and service! There are varied home baked tea breads and breakfast muffins to choose from, complex specials, upscale ingredients and did I mention the well trained staff? You will never be surrounded by dirty empty dishes or an empty glass. When your electronic check is given to you, no one hovers. You are given the privacy to check the bill and add a tip privately. I hate to share all this...it may cause us to have to wait for a table in the future. But it would be stingy to not share the accolades of this wonderful breakfast and lunch spot. Their weekly specials are so very creative. Think, multigrain toast, slathered with mascarpone, topped with caramelized onions and roasted tomatoes. Served with assorted greens with bright fresh cherry tomatoes and slivers of shaved parmesan in a delicious tangy vinaigrette. Hello Sunday!

Our visit to The Diner at North 11 Beacon was nothing short of wonderful. We were out shopping for my son’s birthday gift when we decided to stop for pancakes and omelets. Although it wasn’t lunchtime yet, the restaurant was already filled with laughter, happy chatter, and the warm, comforting smell of delicious food. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes, a vegetable omelet, a kids' omelet, and fries. The portions were huge, the flavors were amazing, and we nearly finished every bite. The atmosphere was truly special—everyone around us was cheerful, and the positive energy was contagious. The service was exceptional, with staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. A special thank you to the kind ladies who called me "the mom”, That small gesture meant so much to me; it was the best title I could have been given that day. I also want to thank the lady who brought the water, the lady who smiled, the lady who took our order, the lady who brought coffee and the chef who made all the delicious food. Thank you to The Diner for the warm, attentive service, the delicious food, and for creating a space filled with kindness and happiness. It was a day we will cherish, thank you very much!

Such a lovely breakfast/brunch spot! It is a cute traditional diner with stools up to a bar and booths to choose from. The menu is large but not overwhelming, and they have specials of the day that are posted on their blackboard by the door. The wait staff is helpful and attentive. They are happy to accommodate modifications to the order - I wanted the Mediterranean omelet, but instead of the peppers wanted mushrooms - not a problem! I was so excited about the delicious food that I had to eat some of the grilled English muffin before I even took a picture of my meal. Already looking forward to a return visit!

We stopped here for breakfast while visiting from out of town. We arrived at 11am on a Saturday morning and waited about 25 minutes for a table. Food came out very quickly and was tasty. I had the Mediterranean omelet and my husband and the daily special omelet which was sausage. Diner was crowded but had a cozy feel. Two cons: $7 for two coffees seemed a little steep to us and I wish the bathroom was cleaner. Other than that, it was a nice experience.
