Chelmsford Diner

So glad we stopped at this local gem. The coffee is so good. The food is fresh and there are old favorites made new and unique. Erin was casual and made us feel like regulars.

I agree with other posters... kitchen is slow. We wanted to give them a chance to see for ourselves.

The food was really good... omelets were great and cooked well. Home fries were tasty, their homemade beans were really good.

We were seated right away and got our coffee fast and then it stalled. I don't know what happens in the kitchen. We waited at least an hour for our food. I'd rate higher if the kitchen had worked better. Not sure if we will go back because of that. Ashame because everything else was great. Servers were friendly, place is clean, and they were busy.

The Chelmsford Diner is a hidden gem tucked just behind downtown Chelmsford in a little plaza that you'd never look twice at. I've been a few times and tried a selection of their omelets and so far I've been happy. What makes this diner stand out amongst the local competition are the more uncommon breakfast items that they include in their food like shredded chicken and avocado. You can go here and get your typical breakfast, but if you're looking to branch out, this is a great place to visit. I also like that all of their omelets are available as scrambles which you can fork into your toast and create a makeshift breakfast sandwich.

I've also noticed that around the big breakfast rush hour of 9-11am, the diner isn't usually packed with a line out the door. If you wake up a little late, this place has a better chance of getting you seated than a few other places that will easily be a 30-45+ minute wait.

With that being said, I've taken one star off because of the wait from the kitchen. Of the handful of times I've been, we're seated immediately, our orders are taken and then the food takes a while. It never comes out cold though, always hot a fresh and worth the wait. If anything is a great time for coffee and conversation.
