"Best no nonsense breakfast in town! French toast is great, service is friendly, & they accept credit card. A neighborhood institution for a reason, just wish it was open Sunday!"

"I wanted authentic breakfast in the area and decided to give this place a try. I was impressed. And to see that this place has been around for quite some time, I'm glad I eventually had the experience. Food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. Great location, right across from Forest Hills T station. Free street parking as well. Their menu has many options to choose from. Staff was pleasant and catered to every request I had. If you live in or around Forest Hills, make sure to give this place a try. You won't be disappointed."

"What an odd little place, truly a throwback from another era. Set on what seems like a forgotten block of JP across from a large T station, the restaurant feels dingy, with ancient tables and flooring, and dusty old sports memorabilia covering the walls. You order at the front and pick up your own tray of food, unusual for a diner. I would describe the food as “fine”, adequate but certainly nothing memorable. I am baffled by the very high average rating that led us to this restaurant."

"Nestled amidst the charming streets of Jamaica Plain, MA, lies the Forest Hill Diner, a haven of warmth and nostalgia that beckons travelers and locals alike. Here, every sip of coffee is an invitation to journey back to simpler times, evoking memories of cozy mornings and hearty conversations. Served in classic Styrofoam cups with traditional pull-up lids, the coffee speaks of timeless quality and care. But the experience extends beyond the steaming brew. Forest Hill Diner’s pancakes are a symphony of flavors, each bite a delicate balance of fluffy texture, creamy butter, and sweet syrup. With every indulgent mouthful, diners are transported to a realm of pancake perfection, where every bite is a celebration of culinary craftsmanship. Yet, it is not merely the food that sets this diner apart. It is the intangible warmth that permeates its atmosphere, the genuine hospitality of its staff that makes every visitor feel like family. From the moment one steps through the door, they are enveloped in smiles and kindness, welcomed into a sanctuary of comfort and camaraderie. In essence, Forest Hill Diner transcends its role as a mere eatery; it is a sanctuary where the harmonious blend of good food, great coffee, and genuine hospitality creates an unforgettable dining experience, leaving a lasting impression on all who pass through its doors."

"This spot is a cherished favorite. Whenever I have the time it's a top choice for breakfast. Service is unparalleled. Very clean and welcoming environment. Its Saturday morning so theres about a 20 minute wait. Reasonable. I started off with a giant grilled blueberry muffin and medium coffee. Deliciousness. Ordered one egg full breakfast which included toast and hashbrowns with choice of meat. Expertly prepared to order. All I've got to say this is a solid choice with all the basic amenities available. I hope y'all never change."
