West End Diner

Came here the first time today and I was very imoressed. The wait staff is very friendly and we got food withing 10 mins of ordering it. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Kid friendly and yummy! First of all I have to say I have never been to a restaurant that was this kid friendly… booster seats, coloring, matchbox cars, and lollipops with the receipt! Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating, making it a very relaxed breakfast. Hot coffee filled multiple times without asking, excellent home fries and a very nice omelette full with ham. My fresh fruit included pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, watermelon… Impressive. All of the staff was extremely friendly and prompt, we will be back.

Jumping from diner to diner, this was my next stop. I heard of their generous portions, so was excited to eat here. I will tell you, I was not disappointed. First thing I noticed was how homey this diner felt. It has a really nice atmosphere. When we came in, we were immediately greeted and seated. Customer service was superb. I had so many choices of omelette I wanted to try, which was pretty exciting. I ended up getting a 3 egg omelette and my girlfriend got make your own pancakes. The omelette was absolutely delicious. It really had a homemade taste. The home fries were really tasty and I even really enjoyed my toast (they give 3 pieces and have a ton of different breads to choose from). I ate the entire plate swiftly and was very satisfied. Now just keep in mind that going here is going to cost you a little more than other diners, but not by too much. For the price and portions I’d say it’s a fair price for what you’re getting. And so far this is my favorite diner I’ve tried in the Leominster/​Fitchburg area.

Went in with my wife and three kids on a Sunday morning. The restaurant was relatively busy but not crazy and we were seated quickly by a very nice high school aged girl. Other staff were friendly during our visit, as well.
The food was ok. The highlights were the home fries and crispy bacon. I asked for bacon in my omelette but it was crumbled and piled on top instead. The kids’ pancakes were dry and generic.

When I walked in I thought, «hmmm, cute, clean little diner.»
Then I noticed the white board with the specials listed. I thought it may be a little pricey at $ 10 for their special pancakes or stuffed french toast. But I was wrong when I realized that the $ 10 would feed a family of 4. I ordered a Western omelet, my usual. The waitress who was extremely nice and on point brought our meals out pretty quickly. Each plate took up half the table. When Jeff, my dining critique partner, saw my eyes bug out because of the size, he said, «this is a typical Diner, you won’t leave hungry.» So we left a big tip and for two huge meals, coffee, tea, milk and OJ, we only paid $ 25. I now need a nap and I probably won’t eat for the rest of the day. I will gladly return to this diner in the very near future and recommend it to anyone that wants to enjoy a typical New England Diner.

The place is still fantastic. It’s still, hands down, my favorite local breakfast place, to the point where I travel from Gardner because I’m too afraid to try anything else!

We live a few blocks away so why not stop in and get some breakfast. As we entered we were greeted by a man in shorts, red sox hat, asking us where would you like to be seated. I didn’t know if he was a wandering customer, someone who just came from the bathroom etc, finally a waitress sat us down. The food was good, big portions, tasty, but the services was not good. The waitress hardly checked on us and when she did the friendliness seemed forced. Would go back for the food but not the service.

We came on a Saturday they were moderately busy. We were greeted imeadiately, and had coffee within 5 minutes. Food 5 star, Tips were great. Fresh fruit in place of home fries. …excellent. Service…5 star. Gianna was lovely. Even the bathroom was great (yes, that matters to me).

Not a good experience. I picked this place for lunch based on Unilocal reviews. I sat at the counter. The guy behind the counter was not friendly, never greeted me and it took a few minutes to get a glass of water. A few minutes later a more friendly waitress took my order. I ordered a pastrami melt and sweet potato fries. It wasn’t that busy. After 20 minutes the waitress brought the sandwich with no fries, saying that they were still cooking. I commented that service seemed slow for a «diner», and asked her to keep the sandwich warm until the fries were ready. I got some nonverbal attitude but she complied. Less than a minute later she came back with both and proceeded to tell me under her breath that I came at the end of «the wave», that they only had one cook and that they were a small business. Not appreciated.
The pastrami was excessively salty and greasy to the point that the bread was soggy.
My experience seems to be the exception rather than the rule, but worthy of note.

Visiting town for work and this was our Saturday morning stop on the way to the office. Awesome diner great prices, portions, and quality

Every year St. Patrick’s Day, my family look forward to «The best Corned Beef & Cabbage». In recent years going to the West End Diner has became a tradition even my in-​laws partake in as well. No need to go to an Irish Pub when your neighborhood diner has the best. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Tasty breakfast. Giant portions. Serviceable coffee (but I am admittedly a coffee snob). Small town feel. Pleasant and attentive service.

Came here on a Saturday morning, wasn’t too busy. We were seated, finally after waiting 45 minutes to place our order we decided to leave. We left $ 8 on the table for our coffee. Told the waitress we were leaving and if that was enough, she was very snippy and said «yeah ok». Wish I could give it zero stars

Second time here, but first time for breakfast. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the waitress. Good sign to start! A bit overwhelmed with the breakfast menu, she sumarized the breakfast offerings to me. Ordered an omelet that was so light & fluffy with a heaping portion of home fries. The home fries were nicely cooked on all sides & weren’t big & chunky, so they were thoroughly cooked. In the mix was some really crispy morsels which I love in home fries. With this omelet were not two slices, but three slices of toast. How perfectly portioned for the 3-​egg omelet I ordered. This is definitely a breakfast place to return to.

This is my first time at the restaurant we were very pleased with the portion size but more importantly it was very clean diner in the bathroom. The owner was very nice and talkative and we would definitely go back again so if you’re anywhere near Leominster you should come to this place. It appears to be family-​owned and operated for about nine years. It’s off the main street and Leominster but it’s easy to find with your GPS. We got a cheeseburger omelette which was great because it had lettuce tomatoes and mayonnaise as well as the cheeseburger on top. This cheeseburger omelette was big enough to split between two people and eat great.

Great local diner! Stopped in with a few friends and had a great breakfast. The portions are quite hefty! Delicious home fries and interesting specials. The monthly pancake special, pumpkin spice pancakes, came out with cute candy corn garnishes. This is definitely a greasy spoon type place, so don’t expect fancy options. There is a TV at each booth, which is cool. The booths are a little wobbly, which isn’t cool.
Stop by the West End Diner if you want a cheap, plentiful and tasty brunch.
One quick sort-​of negative — the hollandaise was delicious, but a little thick and a little chunky. My eggs were drowning in it! On the plus side I was able to dip my home fries in hollandaise!

West End Diner has your typical diner atmosphere, low prices, and small-​town staff. My friends and I were able to snag the last available booth a few Sundays ago. The food is served in epic proportions, but I wasn’t so impressed… The bacon is sliced so thinly that the texture and flavor didn’t sit well with me, and my scrambled eggs were a greenish brown from being overcooked. However, my blueberry pancakes were excellent and almost made me wish that I had opted for the ultimate pancake challenge.

I so wanted to like this diner. I love the diner concept, especially for breakfast. So walking in, I loved the atmosphere; it suited a diner.
After that, well, the food I didn’t like all that much. The menu is extensive. Maybe therein lies the problem. Too many options instead of concentrating on fewer great ones. We learned the corn beef hash is a Hormel product, not made fresh in-​house. Hmmpfh.
I ordered the signature french toast and was sorely dissapointed. How can you fail on french toast in a diner??? «Signature» meant corn flakes on top (as in cooked into my french toast). All that did was make my french toast hard as a rock, not really a plus, by any means. To top it off, it came with a little glass vial of real maple syrup. How cute! Except, you’d think it would be at least New England made, wouldnt’ ya? Nope. Made in CA. Sigh.

Let’s start with the owner who is genuine and pleasant. After that who cares right? Right, except that West End Diner is spotless, and has a great range of dishes that they offer very loyal (understandable) customers and newcomers alike.
Leominster is a gem of a New England city with a small town heart and soul. You get your dollar’s worth and then some. Try anything and you will be satisfied.

Outstanding on all points. I have been going there for a long time now and have never had a bad time. My sons and I love the place and most of the time have sat at the counter. They have booths and tables for larger groups. Also there is a tent set up out back which gives eating out in the sometimes crisp morning air a nice feeling.
The food is great and the portions are large but I have no problems finishing. I love the Eggs Irish.
Parking in their lot can be tricky but parking on the street is OK but be careful it is a busy area.
