Fun&Eats' Dave's Diner review

2026-01-22 · Fun&Eats's score: 7 and a half out of 10

Fun&Eats pulled into Dave's Diner in Middleborough, Massachusetts for breakfast before a trip, and John liked what he saw right away: a classic 50s interior, a cool bar, and coffee that arrived hot. Joan got them seated fast and had their order before they'd settled, which John counted as a win. The food landed in big, healthy portions, and the biscuits and gravy with sausage links got plenty of praise, even if John couldn't name the seasoning in the gravy. The corned beef hash was salty with onions and barely any potato, and John doesn't buy that it's homemade. The bill hit $52 with extras and leftovers, which they called average for the area. He settled on a 7 and a half out of 10, above average, and said he'd come back for the patio in summer and maybe that barbecue spot next door.

• Biscuits and gravy with two eggs and fat sausage links: John says the seasoning was unfamiliar but good, and better than Cracker Barrel
• Corned beef hash tastes salty and oniony with little potato, and he doesn't think it's made in house even though the menu says homemade
• The bagel sandwich arrived with just one egg and bacon, and they both agree it really needs two
• Bill came to $52 with extra sides ordered and leftovers to take home, which they called average pricing for the area
• Those seats are basically boards so you eat and leave, and the menus were worn and dirty even though the place was otherwise clean
