- Meg BermanDecember 5, 2018One of the last true 24 hour diners in Boston and is a blast from the past. They serve everything, from authentic root beer floats to bold cups of Joe. Try the Boston Cream Pancakes!

Charly D'OliveNovember 12, 2016Like something out of a movie, drunk party girls, colorful patrons, they make you sit on the stools of small parties. Burgers good, beer on tap.Upvoted Feb 4
Matthew SobocanJune 16, 2018Enjoyed our breakfast and the conversations. If you crave a real breakfast near downtown, it’s worth a walk to.
Wendell CunninghamNovember 18, 2017The Boston Creme pancakes are awesome !!! The homemade apple pie is the best I have ever had!
Vanessa GatlinFebruary 16, 2014(Best of Boston 2013-DINER) Improper Bostonian says, "It has all the requisite elements for a retro diner: neon lighting, swivel stools lining the counter and, for $2, a bottomless cup of coffee."
FionaMarch 7, 2015Don't miss the Lobster Festival. You get a delicious lobster, chowder and dessert all for $10!! 😍
Ingrid HartmanJuly 31, 2016The 4-egg omelette with avocado and veggies - so good! Mom had steak and eggs and loved it. Home fries included and tasty too.
Greg GOctober 4, 2015Eggs Benedict with lobster was amazing! The potatoes they serve on the side were delicious. Highly recommended.
Alexandr RudnevSeptember 20, 2021It's really cool to eat vegetarians food in classic old-school American diner.
Abi PanickerApril 12, 2016Great late night spot, can get crowded after 2 am, no nonsense, not good for you, but good food
Boston PhoenixDecember 11, 2010Quoth the Mayor: "I like the steak and eggs in the morning. That always gets me going. The coffee's okay. It's nice that they serve beer late at night. This place is the classic." Read more- Robert DesistoSeptember 3, 2016This is the best late night spot in Boston my buddy Sol does it right. Great food awesome people = Happy Face!!
Rorriz_ DhawiFebruary 16, 2017French toast and omelet with onion and cheese is the best. highly recommended 💔
Andrew HogueNovember 9, 2012Get the "diner special" for breakfast. 3 eggs, french toast, bacon, hash browns. It's worth the coronary.
Evan LindMarch 23, 2010Go to the South Street Diner and snag a spot at the counter. Order yourself a veggie burger and an order of onion rings. Put some coins in the jukebox and play Blue Travelers's "The Hook." Smile.- MystiqueDecember 28, 2012Amazing late night food! Try the homemade apple pie with ice cream. You can't go wrong!
Tom WolfsteinSeptember 11, 2015It's probably great if you are drunk and need diner food. As a bus ride food, it wasn't the best idea.
Jaclyn StephensFebruary 26, 2016I ordered the supreme omelet and the waitress only got one ingredient right. No water until the end, she asked us to pay right when she set down the wrong food so she could leave.No ketchup or syrup.
Shannon HawkinsNovember 9, 2014Supreme omelette with sausage. Mmm. Friendly and everything you'd expect from a diner.
Jamie LinFebruary 28, 2016I could die happy after eating the Lobster Eggs Benedict. Cannot recommend enough.- Boston PhoenixApril 22, 2012Voted "Best Late-Night Restaurant" by @BostonPhoenix readers in 2012! Also serving wine and beer til 1 am. Thereafter: get a steak and a milkshake. Read more
Ryann LynskyNovember 27, 2015The chicken sandwich is basically just three dry grilled chicken fingers on a bun. The pancakes are good though. I wouldn't get anything by breakfast here again.
Joyce LJanuary 29, 2011Great atmosphere. You should experience Johnny's friendly charm on Saturday mornings. He makes you feel special & like u belong here even if you're from out of town.
Lindsey NakhoulJuly 23, 2013Yummy food at 2:00am although a little bland even when your slightly drunk.
Elizabeth MaherDecember 28, 2016It has an old diner feel, staff seemed a little grumpy like they didn't want to be there and one of them was having a mild argument with a male inside the diner. I wouldn't go here again. Food average
Maria CampApril 16, 2014If you're really nice to the waitress she will make you mimosas before they start serving alcohol and give you banana bread.
Erica SnowMarch 29, 2013Love the feel and the atmosphere but the wait staff is less than pleasant and barely attentive.
South Street DinerJuly 19, 2012happy hour July 26 5pm=11pm free appetizers, free south street diner coozies, try our 22 beers and 10 great wines, 6 beers on tap
The Ad ClubJanuary 29, 2011Open 24 hours. Perfect destination for the conclusion of all-nighter's in college. Simply diner food in a simple pleasures atmosphere.
manasi bhutadaDecember 13, 2017Most pathetic portabella mushroom sandwich. They just give a thin slice of portabella mushroom in the sandwich.
Vicky HuJune 24, 2012Only a few places open 24 hours and Sol is awesome! Friendly staff and good eats.
