All the food is great, less busy during the week but at weekends be prepared to wait in line for a free booth . Would eat here every day if I lived close enough.

This adorable retro diner is off the beaten path for BU students but it's definitely worth the hike--try the Princess or the Basket Case in honor of the classic John Hughes movie .

Liz Moore

The new owners are great, my only complaint is, PLEASE use real whipped cream !!! Right now it is something like a cool whip, an oil based whipped product that does not melt. It doesn't taste good!!!!!

Liam Nee

Best of Boston 2016: Diner ???? :: Don’t miss the “Alexa” omelet with Greek sausage , spinach , and feta ; and the pulled chicken and waffles with sriracha gravy .

John K

My new favorite breakfast spot in Boston area. Omelette w/avocado, pepper jack cheese & linguica was topped off with sour cream & home made salsa . Pancakes with real maple syrup great!

Youssof Mal

Classic diner , 80’s soundtrack bottomless coffee . This place rocks, booth seating takes 4 comfortably, 6 is a squeeze. Got The Detention: steak and egg perfection.

This Allston staple offers comfort foods with a healthier twist. Using cage free eggs & local produce , you'd be remiss to skip an omelette at The Breakfast Club. Avoid long weekend waits, order to go.

Samantha Mikaela Reyes

Pretty good traditional Eggs Benedict and Buttermilk Pancakes . Great place to eat at in the Allston/Brighton area, come over when you get the munchies!

Daniel Ricart

Pancakes are awesome. They have mastered the technique for cooking fried eggs at your desired cooking point. Love it.

Bing P Puzon

Weekdays are less busy, it is definitely our favorite breakfast place.

Liz Moore

The place to go when you need that 1980's flair. When you go, you absolutely MUST try 'The Princess', a Belgian waffle topped with FRESH fruit , and real whipped cream . When you cover it in maple syrup

Lauren

Breakfast/brunch is really good. Very reasonable prices for tasty food. Would definitely go back.

Jeremy Krantz

Great diner which pays tribute to the 1985 movie . The lines can't be discouraging but it's all worth it.

Boston.com

This classic diner named after John Hughes 's 1985 movie serves menu items named after the movie characters. Go ahead: Wear your scrunchies and Chucks while dining to an 80's soundtrack. Read more

Scrumptious seasonal drinks , pancakes , omelettes , wrapped in friendly service and authentic atmosphere.

The decor is so much fun! The banana Fosters French toast is great, just a little too syrupy.

Abigail S

A little cramped on weekends, but the food was worth the loss of elbow room. Chocolate chip banana pancakes were great.

Michael Dougherty

Has everything you need to wake up after drinking til 4am: coffee , eggs , bacon , 80s movie posters on the wall and beastie boys on the stereo

Selena Craig

Pancakes are the bomb! Unique esthetic. Love it here!

Amy R.

Amazing place! Love the vibe & atmosphere. Food is delish! ????

Cathy Sahyonne

French toast was great and home made hash was pretty different but good.

Adam Monahan

Breakfast sandwiches are great. Atlantic Eggs Benedict is excellent but pricy .

Ruby Finnegan

They cook the toppings of the pancakes into the batter which makes the fruit go soggy

Cat Meirelles Buchatskiy

Small, cozy place. Big portions ! Very retro , straight out of a movie !

Lox Benedict was delicious. Everything looks good and not too pricey

One of the best places to have breakfast in the Boston area...

The retro-80's music/decor is fresh throwback to the movie this place is named after. Get a smoothie with your special (best value).

Don't go in big groups as you'll never get a table. Order one of the specials - big helpings at a small price!

Matt Gillespie

Bar stools are not bolted to the ground. Pesto chicken panini is excellent though.
