What People Are Saying About South Street Diner

The Scene – Outside, beneath the giant coffee cup that serves as the diner's landmark, customers people-watch while sipping coffee and frappes on wooden benches. Inside, kitschy elements dominate: Black cardboard music notes, plastic records and blow-up guitars dangle from the ceiling, while Marilyn Monroe shades cover the table lamps and James Dean poses in black and white overhead. Punkish, somber servers stand in stark contrast to the cheery 1950s theme. – – The Food – By diner standards, the menu is small, and leans toward the lower end. Anything served with butter…

Absolutely the best steak tips in Boston! The brocolli was steamed to perfection and the mash potatos we're butterless and smooth!! With a lot of bbq sauce on the side i was one happy hungry customer!

food is good and reasonable, But the customers are the thing to watch from tuxedos and euros to bums and goth, That staff is the same as the customers everything creates energy from the juke box to line to the coffee. This a reality tv show in real life. Had a Cheeseburger that was good. fries crispy Milkshake and I was stuffed and ready to go to sleep best place late night
- Pros: fun
- Cons: line

for lack of ANOTHER choice...
by freewilly7 at Citysearch
too bad i wasn't intoxicated enough to not be able to tell the difference. went there only bcoz that's like the only place on the planet that's open at wee hours (sad thing is, we drove all the way into the city to find only this place open).
wasn't too satisfied w/the whole experience: from greasy table to lack of service to sloppy food... well, i guess there's always a trade-off.
:)
- Pros: late-night eating
- Cons: only choice around
