Boulevard Diner

Atmosphere: 5 Stars! I know, yes I know--the Boulevard's atmosphere may be a debatable topic. My kind of place: no frills, just good ole fashion "Diner Experience." No debate in regards to the delicious zitti, meatballs, chicken soup and of course the accompanying fresh Italian bread. After about 10 years, I decided to visit one of my "go to" haunts--- the famous Boulevard Diner-- a Landmark Diner since 1936. The genuine arrowheads that I observed on the shelf were a clue --- this diner is historic. Frankly, I was extremely impressed with my return to the Boulevard Diner; it seemed like I was traveling back on a time machine, a time when "hot ticket" Ronnie was behind the counter. Tonight, I am bestowing praise on my multitasking server extraordinaire: Erica George. Besides the outstanding food, reasonable prices and large portions---I truly enjoyed the conversation; thanks, life changing spiritual stories fed my soul.

Stopped in VERY early this morning, (23 Nov 24) and was treated to a wicked yummy Bully Bowl, skillfully prepared by a very tired yet full of energy Kim L! Can't thank her and her team enough for starting my day out right, the endless cup of hot coffee helped too! I highly recommend 100% if you're in the need of a delicious homemade breakfast!

This gem of a diner on Shrewsbury Street is open 24 hours a day. I visited at 5ish AM on a Saturday and it was packed - and for good reason. Fast service, great food, and a lively vibe coming from the diversity of hungry folks. It's got on street parking, friendly servers and cooks, and you can get a filling breakfast for about $15. Totally worth a visit, even if it's just to admire the old-school feeling of a legitimate diner car.

What a great little diner, with tons of history. Generational Family run place. Very tiny place, seems like a train car converted into a diner, lots of charm. Few booths and counter space. I was in the mood for some Strawberry Shortcake and saw they offered. Very tasty! People watching while there was fun, staff was super friendly and there were many people getting pancakes, since they serve breakfast all day. Great place, you definitely need to check it out.

The Boulevard Diner is an absolute hidden gem that hits all the right notes — comfort food, friendly vibes, and flavor that keeps you coming back for more. Let’s start with the meatballs: unreal. Tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned — honestly some of the best I’ve had anywhere. You can tell they’re made with care and not just thrown together. I could’ve made a whole meal out of those alone. But I didn’t stop there — I also grabbed some French fries and a couple of chili dogs, and wow. The fries were golden, crispy, and just the right amount of salty. The chili dogs? Absolute comfort food heaven. Meaty, cheesy, messy in the best way possible — exactly what a diner chili dog should be. The vibe inside The Boulevard Diner is classic and welcoming, with that old-school charm that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're dropping in for a quick bite or settling in for a full meal, this place delivers every time. If you're craving no-nonsense, delicious diner food that warms your soul, The Boulevard Diner is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back — and next time, I’m ordering extra meatballs.
