Frommer's Review

Diner aficionados make pilgrimages to enjoy the ambience of this 1945 Silk City classic -- so classic that the blue-plate dinner specials might also include vegetables, rice, soup or salad, rolls, and rice pudding for one price. A bit incongruously, fancier and vegetarian fare is also available, such as a grilled portobello on sourdough. But that's not why you're here. You come here for reliable New England diner staples such as turkey with gravy, fried haddock, slabs of cornbread French toast, great omelets, fruity pancakes, homemade doughnuts, and a signature butterscotch Indian pudding served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
