Eats : USA : MA : Boston : South Street Diner

About South Street Diner
South Street Diner (formerly the Blue Diner) was built in 1947 by the Worcester Dining Company to serve local factory workers. Over the years, the Diner has become a local landmark, a constant in Boston's after-hours scene and a final evening destination for local residents, students and visitors. When the clubs close, the Diner is the place to grab something to eat, hang out with friends, celebrity watch, and keep the party going. No visit to Boston is complete without a stop to the South Street Diner.

Over the years, the Diner has been named a Best of Boston by Boston Magazine and called "The PLACE for college students to start their Spring Break Tour" by Rolling Stone Magazine. The Diner has also been featured in numerous feature films, including: Hiding Out with John Cryer; Second Sight with John Laroquette; House Guest with Steve Martin; and The Blue Diner for PBS.

South Street Diner is currently owned and operated by local restraunteur Sol Sidell. Sol grew up in the restaurant business and always dreamed of owning a place where people could have fun, get great food at reasonable prices, and feel like a regular the first time they walk through the door. He brings his passion for creating great dishes and making people happy to everything he does at South Street.

Today, South Street Diner is Boston's only all-night dining destination seven-nights-a-week. While the neighborhood around South Street Diner has evolved from factories producing shoes and hand bags, to an artist community, student mecca, and part of the city-wide Big Dig construction site, one thing has remained unchanged --- South Street Diner is Boston's true diner, and the heart of Boston's late night scene.

South Street Diner Review By Patrick B. : Boston, MA
I dont know why anyone rated this place with less than five stars.  I love the South Street diner.  The owner is a top notch guy and he always takes great care (and cares about) his guests.  Not many people have a customer appreciation day at all.  The South Street Diner's customer appreciation day is great!  And it's also funny to see the people you usually see at night in the daytime!

The food is great (try the steak and eggs) and the mix of people that you see is entertainment for which I'd pay an admission fee.  Just a fun, fun place.
