Portside Diner - Danvers

I absolutely adore this restaurant! I was inspired to visit after watching the movie "Hubie Halloween" and I was not disappointed. The warm and inviting family atmosphere, along with the regular patrons, made for a wonderful dining experience. We enjoyed the Athenian omelet and their scrumptious chocolate chip and banana pancakes - both were delicious. If we ever find ourselves back in Massachusetts, we will definitely be returning to this gem.

I absolutely loved the vintage ambiance of this restaurant. It transported me back to the 70s in the best way possible. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a waitress named Tammy, who had a comforting motherly presence that made us feel right at home. Tammy truly deserves a perfect 10 out of 10 - she is a rock star! We tried the PBB Omelette, the Western Omelette, and Eggs Hash. All three dishes came with delicious home fries, coffee, and three different types of toast (wheat, English muffin, and sourdough). The Eggs Hash was above average, with a perfectly grilled crust on both sides and a good balance of beef and potatoes. I would rate it a 6 out of 10 for beef enthusiasts like myself. The Western Omelette was outstanding, with just the right amount of peppers, onions, cheese, and high-quality ham. The eggs were perfectly moist, earning this dish a score of 8.5 out of 10. The PBB Omelette, filled with ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, tomatoes, peppers, and onions, was also a delightful experience. The crispy bacon, quality ham and sausage, and flavorful vegetables made it an 8.5 out of 10. The coffee was the best we've ever had at a diner, and it seemed like it never stopped flowing thanks to attentive Tammy. The locals at the restaurant were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning. If you love vintage diners, delicious food, and top-notch service, this is the perfect spot for you!

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was fantastic! I appreciate that they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions. Thank you!

Great food and exceptional waitress. Very recommended.

Service was really good and friendly. I ordered a special with sausage gravy and was disappointed that the gravy was from a can. Everything else was great. Will ask next time about what is made there.
