A lot of what people have already said is true:1. The food is quite good. Terrific home fries: with crispy edges, not over-salted and with a hint of garlic. Worth their own star, they're so crispy....

While away in Boston visiting some friends, we woke up Saturday morning (yea, ok, it was closer to 1 pm) to find ourselves famished and ready for some brunch. My buddy picked this place, as he had...

I'm a pretty devout Wilson's-Diner-goer, as a Waltham citizen. However, Talk of the Town Diner is probably close to tying for first on my breakfast eat-out list.I. Love. This diner. It's adorable. The...

A perfectly serviceable diner. They serve heaping quantities of decent food at average prices. Some friends I've dined with wanted a little more out of their sandwiches, whereas some friends have...

5 stars! TOTT is great. I am usually there every weekend. Anyone that stays over is usually treated to a great breakfast there. Get the Kaz's special and you wont be disappointed (or hungry after)....

Talk of the Town is just another average diner in my books. They try to dress it up a little (they certainly dress up the bill a little), and somehow they keep getting "Best of" awards, but I've...

Talk of the Town is a pretty average diner. I used to pop in for eggs, bacon, and hash browns 'cause I'm a breakfast kinda gal, but I've heard the tuna melt is solid, too.Our office took a Friday...

Went last weekend while we were stuck at Sullivans Tire to get a tire fixed. The sausage was nice and gristly. If your sausage links need a rinse after cooking, you should probably upgrade. My...

Talk of the Town Diner is part of a fad. Diners are cool right? Watertown has some of the best diners in the Boston area right? It seems they took that and then opened their own. I believe it was...

I can't believe there's a single bad review on here! If you're expecting a grand buffet, don't go to a diner. They make really great home-style breakfast--just like mom would make if you still lived...

Talk of the Town proudly displays a voted best diner sign on the door as you walk in but the accolades may be a bit dated. Make no mistake -- this is a good diner but there are better out there. Some aspects...
