Don’s Diner

Went in because our usual diner was closed… didn’t know what to expect. Very good meal, friendly staff, friendly atmosphere. Would go back again no questions asked!

Still going strong. Best breakfast in Leominster. Check out all the antiques on the walls. Sadly no longer open on Friday nights for Friday night Fish.

Great breakfast. Went here with The Wife recently and was very pleased. I ordered the home fries well done, and they came out perfectly. Very reasonably priced and an eclectic mix of antiques too boot. It is cash only, so bring money.

Nice enough little diner. Good family owed type feel (unsure if is). But nicer than the chain type diners.
Food was standard but good.
Very cheap though but tasty and friendly. Recommended for cheap good diner.

I came in here for breakfast with my 4 year old cousin. The waitress and cook were so friendly and very sweet to my little cousin who accompanied me to breakfast. She enjoyed her huge Mickey Mouse pancake while I had an omelet. The service was good and food arrived quick. I did not find my food to be flavorful which is odd to say about an omelet but they were kinda blah. I had a veggie omelet so maybe my spinach just over powered the eggs not sure. The food was def average prices for breakfast at diners totaling about $ 12.

I love coming here. This diner is one of the best. The food is amazing and affordable. The staff are respectful and treats everyone like family. My son requests to go here all the time. This place is definitely a good place to go with family or friends or both.

Every Saturday morning my son and I try a new diner, this past Saturday we ate at Don’s in Leominster. The food was served fast and was very good. I had a roast beef omelet which was good with homemade home fries made with real potatoes not frozen dropped in the fryer very good. My son got chocolate chip pancakes which I tried also good and the size of the plate, will stop in again!

I enjoyed my food. The cook and waitress was very friendly. Low cost for a big pancake and two eggs compared to other diners. Wish they took credit/​debit.

Very good, truly a local friendly diner. Been there for years and feels like you’re always among family. Food is very good and consistent and tasty. Wait staff is awesome and Don is always there with a smile.

worst bacon ever

As a regular, I don’t even have to order because the waitress remembers what I like. I always get a chocolate chip pancake (which is bigger than the plate!) and a blueberry muffin. Both are AMAZING. Don’s Diner is the perfect hidden gem. The staff are SO friendly and accommodating. I don’t have one bad thing to say about Don’s!

I’m giving this an «A-​OK» but, it’s definitely not because of the food. The workers bees here are all soooooo pleasant and happy and very, very authentically wonderful servers.
The décor is quirky but interesting — and I can tell then dust the many, many wonderful antiques they have on the shelves. The place is CLEAN!
The food, ugh, I hate to even write this review but — — –here goes. I ordered the big pancake, two eggs scrambled with cheddar and the bacon. Refills on the great coffee came often and quickly. Food came out pretty quick, too.
My BIG pancake was chewy, doughy — — –when I chewed it actually felt like it was growing in my mouth — like I was chewing foam. If they’re making their own pancake batter they’re probably over stirring or they’re not using enough flour in the mix. If they’re buying a pancake mix, they need to switch to something else. My bacon was truly flat — — no wrinkles whatsoever, looked like someone ironed it. Weird and completely dry — dehydrated. YUK! I won’t go to hard on the eggs but I’m willing to bet they’re using processed cheddar (I really don’t see them leaning towards any organic, superfresh, local products here) — the cheddar was congealed on the scrambled eggs.
The syrup came in a hugh plastic store bought looking container that I am assuming they just refill every night — - — it would be nice if they would offer, maybe for a slightly higher price, a good qualify local syrup.
You probably won’t hate yourself if you eat here but, spend the $ 20 and make yourself a damn good breakfast at home!

Good food. Egg sandwich, omelette and pancakes were good. Home fries a little dry for my liking. Good prices. Would come back.

If you enjoy a local diner for breakfast, you can’t do better than Don’s. We were in town to move my son to Fitchburg State. We found Don’s just by drving by and eat there both mornings. The breakfast is outstanding, and Don is a joy. His customer service is above and beyond.
For my college visits over the next 4 years, I plan to have many breakfast with Don.

Great food, great service. Finally a place that knows how to cook eggs over easy. This small unassuming dinner is definitely a go to breakfast place.

Stopped in here one morning looking for a basic breakfast and definitely got more than we expected. Not only was the décor comfortable and eclectic but the staff was warm and inviting. The street appearance hides this little gem of a diner. We look forward to going for breakfast, the pancakes are large, light and fluffy.

Good food! Always busy but never a long wait for a table.
Coffee cup never emptied — a real plus during a busy Saturday morning.
Local business.

«A-​OK» isn’t quite how I’d describe my meal here. I didn’t want to wait at the Ugly Omelet on a drive up to VT so chose this spot a quick detour off Rt. 2. It has a quiet, nowhere atmosphere and basic breakfast menu. I had to try a pancake after my recent excellent one at The Diner in Watertown but this one was kind of mushy and not great. An unfortunate hair in the butter so asked for another container. Scrambled eggs with homemade roast beef hash were good. Nice staff but no need to go back.

I used the Unilocal App and found this local diner gem.
Very friendly locals, and the waitresses and staff know everyone’s name.
Standard diner fare, serving breakfast and lunch. Good homemade food with daily specials.
The food is solid. Tell em how you like it and get it that way. The roast beef hash with dropped eggs is wonderful, as is the coffee.
The place is decorated with old American antiques. Old clocks, enamelware, trains, oil lamps, old signs.
They also sell Mass Lotto.
Next time I am in the area, I will surely return.

Don’s Diner is located in a small strip plaza, just north of the downtown area, serving up breakfast and lunch at reasonable prices. Specials are offered including fresh seafood items and chowder. Breakfast only on Saturdays (9AM-​12PM). The atmosphere inside is homey, a typical greasy spoon with counter seating, open grill area, and several tables. The walls are adorned with old cuckoo clocks, framed old posters of Leominster events, and plenty of antiques. Mass Lottery tickets are sold here too.
I had a pretty good breakfast here very recently. The New England Coffee ($ 1.30) was good, brewed just right. I had 2 eggs (scrambled), home fries, homemade roast beef hash, and wheat toast ($ 5.75). The eggs were soft and fluffy, the home fries were fresh cut potatoes, grilled brown and slightly crisp on the outside. The roast beef hash was very good tasting (not salty), which had minced roast beef and shredded potatoes, The service was prompt and attentive. I was offered refills on the coffee, which was much needed to start off my day.
