Comets Diner

Great place for the kids for breakfast. Love huevos rancheros and eggs Bennie. Highly recommend this place as a great diner.

Let me start off by saying that it was my boyfriends and I first time at this place so we didn’t know what to expect. We walked through the door, waited for a waitress to seat us. So we stood for a few minutes. The waitresses were just looking at us. Finally, someone said to us «oh you can find a seat». I was like okay, you didn’t bother to let us know. The waitress took our drink order then said she would come back and take our order. A family comes in, she seats them and takes their drink order, walks by us again without taking our order. Then she goes to help another table and walks by us AGAIN. Mind you, it wasn’t busy at all. Finally we got up, and payed for our drinks and left. This place has to be one of the worst place with service.

The food is pretty good. The staff is friendly, but the prices are a little steep. I’ve eaten lunch here with an associate and had it cost almost $ 40 for just lunch.

Upon entering the restaurant known as «Comets» we were delighted to see the open kitchen concept and bright colors that made us smile instantly. Beverages were ordered and delivered seamlessly by an incredibly polite and equally delighted waitress named Jan. after pondering the quite extensive breakfast menu, we decided on french toast, the famous chunky monkey pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, home fries, and hash browns. All of which was mouth wateringly delicious. We will definitely return.

I had the scrambled eggs with corned beef hash and shredded hash potatoes. I really liked how they grilled the corned beef hash to perfection, it had the right amount of crunchiness. The hash potatoes were also grilled to perfection. Overall the meal was not salty which is good because I have high blood pressure. The orange juice tasted like it came from a can so it was unremarkable. The diner’s décor was very era appropriate.

Detour since rourke bridge is being worked on. Picked up a breakfast sandwich which I though was pretty good, until I was almost done with it… There was a BIG piece of melted plastic cooked in my eggs… GROSS… they weren’t even busy in there that’s messed up!

We go here at least once a month for a family breakfast with 2 small energetic kids. They have a bunch of coloring books, crayons, and a giant chalk board to keep the kids occupied. My parents usually order the poached eggs (that they enjoy very much!) and I usually get scrambled eggs with bacon (also delicious). Their pancakes — mickey shaped for the kids of course — are very good along with their french toast. I also like that when you order wheat bread, they actually use whole wheat bread — you can see all the bread packaging etc from the seating since it’s an open kitchen.
In addition to the good food, the service is awesome — we’ve never had to wait a long time for our food to come and the staff is very friendly!

Great kid friendly retro breakfast diner, a surprise considering it is in a small strip mall. Food is excellent especially banana chocolate chip pancakes for grandchildren. Adult choices great especially homemade corned beef hash.
Coffee and crayons arrive at the table immediately. Soon after one of the staff came by with a Micky Mouse phone telling our 4 year old that she had a call. All star ending (if you are lucky) occurred when Santa Claus came in for breakfast (actually a local man who becomes Santa at Christmas with gorgeous white beard but happily acted as Santa on vacation for astonished grandchildren).

Amazing home made hash. Great service!
This is the best diner in the area. Amazing food, great service… you can’t miss!

Had a nice homemade breakfast this morning, scrambled eggs, bacon, wheat toast, homefries, tasted great, fresh, (not out of a can), coffee tasted excellent as well.
Service was also great, waitress was very friendly, asked if everything was ok with my meal.
Last, I do enjoy going to diners alot, try comets if you are ever in the area on Tyngsboro Massachusetts.

I’ve had breakfast at Comets a few times. The food is good! But depending on the time, the line can be really insane. I prefer to go later in the morning/​afternoon, that way I miss the rush. The last time we ate at Comets though, our waitress was not very attentive. When we finished eating, we waited for our plates to be taken away for several minutes, someone (not our waitress) took them, we waited several more minutes for the bill, got it, and waited another 10+ minutes for her to take our money! We had to get up and approach her about paying, because it was taking so long. She was very nice, but it shouldn’t take an hour and a half to eat breakfast. (and that’s without waiting for a table)!

Had a nice breakfast with friends… friendly staff, welcome to suggestions/​swaps. I had 1 french toast/​1 pancake with bacon. Bacon was cooked perfectly, and the rest was great! Cute kid friendly area, and a nice big space… not all crammed in! A line started forming by 10.

For a diner, the food was average. We had the steak and cheese omelet that was not just shaved steak, but real tender chunks of steak. One waitress was pleasant and seems to enjoy her job. The other, not so much. I’m not sure why people raved about the hash browns. I could have made the same with no effort. The atmosphere was like walking back in time in a good way. For Sunday at 10am it was full but very little wait time. They we the most efficient at getting us seated and started I’ve ever seen for a busy weekend breakfast.

Not bad for diner food. Took 2 3 yr old girls there and they had a wall where kids could draw with chalk. Girls enjoyed thoroughly. Staff was patient

Wanted to try something new for breakfast near us, so we drove a bit out of the way to check out Comets Diner. Very retro looking and a bit out dated, but that’s what gives the place it’s character and diner feel.
I liked the old style neon signs, and so did my 1 and a half year old son, which brings me to one of their positives — very kid friendly. They had crayons, books, small toys for the table, a half wall chalk board for kids to draw on as well as a kids menu.
My wife, son and I shared a cinnamon bun to start, it was great. We also had some ice coffees which were terrible — watered down & flavorless. I choose the country fried steak for breakfast, which was on the specials board and it was very good. My wife got the Hot Rod omelette (chili and colby-​jack cheese) which was awesome! Chili flavor was great, and was definitively a unique omelette option. They also offer A LOT of bread choices with the meal, which is always nice. Eggs were cooked exactly as we asked for them, and were very fresh tasting. Home fries were mediocre at best, lukewarm potatoes with no added flavors. I will try hash browns if there is a next time.
The staff did a great job, were very attentive, and checked in with us often. Would have liked for them to ask why we didn’t drink our coffees — but not a big deal. I was, however, a little perturbed that when the check came the price for my meal (country fried steak) was different than what was on the board, and when I asked the server, she suggested it was because I got it with a biscuit — but this was never mentioned when biscuit was offered as option. Oh well.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back here, but wouldn’t write it off either.

Decent breakfast, standard eggs-​bacon-​home fries and coffee. Nice folks serving you. I can tell they have their regulars. We’ll come back.

A-​ok diner experience for lunch.
Looks like a diner with 50’s blue-​green counter stools, formica top tables, jukebox in sight, and Coke signature napkin holders.
Menu is like a diner with the usual breakfast and lunch fare.
Tastes like a diner with just the right amount of grease on a juicy burger. I got the regular burger and fries and my date got the chili burger and onion rings. We both left quite satisfied.
Would encourage wait staff to be a bit more attentive and fill up drink glasses half way thru the meal but, other than that, a good solid diner experience.

This is a great place to go for breakfast. The make the classics oh-​so-​well. Try the hash browns. They’re always delicious here.

Love Comets. Love it.
You get a ton of food, and the prices are fine.
The only issue is that there’s no waiting area, so you basically stand in the middle of the place and stare at people eating while you wait for a seat.
Ton of food

My family and I have visited Comets many times. Below is a typical experience (which I wrote some time ago and am now finishing.)
We went on a Sunday morning, about 9 am. It was busy which was typical, although the wait was short. The line at the door isn’t «managed» and you seat yourself. The waitstaff seems to know who is next in line and will let you know if you grab a seat too early (let them clear plates and wipe down the table) or miss a party leaving.
The food selection is good, typical diner selection, and the prices are reasonable. Drinks were delivered promptly and the food came out quick and as ordered. The food quality is better than I expected and despite the pace of the waitstaff (they seem to buzz rapidly around making sure coffee cups are full) we didn’t feel rushed.
This place is great for kids too as it has a children’s menu or you can order most items a la-​cart. In addition there are crayons and coloring books that the kids can go over and pick through. The noise level isn’t disturbing but it’s also lough enough to make a loud kid not so noticeable.
We’ll continue to be semi-​regular breakfast customers and maybe one day make it by for lunch.
