Kelly's Diner

Somerville, Boston · Diner · $$

Kelly's is a genuine Worcester Lunch Car - the stainless-steel diner-on-wheels that defines the American breakfast aesthetic, rescued and put back into service on Broadway in Somerville. The food is honest, fast, and priced for the people who actually live nearby: corned beef hash that gets mentioned in reviews the way people talk about their grandmother's recipe, serious pancakes, and coffee that arrives before you've settled in. Worth the extra stop from Boston proper.
