I LOVE Dave's. It is my standby restaurant. We go here so much that the waitresses recognize us now. I enjoy the decor. It's fun to read all the 50's signs and memorabilia when you are waiting for your meal. The portions are huge, and always fresh. I'm a huge fan of the "Great Balls of Fire" buffalo tenders. The burgers are delicious, and the entrees are straight up comfort food. (I wish they would bring back chicken croquettes!) Their specials keep it interesting. One time, I even had a Butternut Squash ravioli dish as a special, YUM! It's a great place for all ages, even the kids are entertained... who isn't fascinated with the spinning dessert rack full of delectable cakes and pies?

It's a diner with a great diner atmosphere. Cute bar area with stools. If you go to a diner, plan on gaining 5 pounds. The food options are good but the choices we usually make our heavy.
I ordered a special - it was refried beans with salsa and eggs - oh my, it was awesome. My better half got Elvis pancakes which was pancakes with peanut butter and chocolate chips - oh ya, he brought half home.
Every once in a while you've got to eat diner food. It is fun and worth the 5 pounds you will gain. -

A recent first trip to Dave's - discovered unintentionally - was no mistake. While it's now not immediately available to me to return to, I hope to. Clean, good menu, good service. I ordered a burger, someone else with me ordered the meatloaf and at that point I felt cheated. I should have got the meatloaf too.
That said, the black & bleu burger was good. Cooked just right. Meal was finished off with a sundae. I tried to fight it off, but I couldn't. Unsure if I'd ever be back, I thought I would consume as much as my stomach could take. The sundae was worth it, when compared to some chain restaurants that fill a dish with about 70% hot fudge, there seemed to be more ice cream than not.
One thing I kept asking myself was, "Did they fold up a Denny's and put a new name out front?". Anybody with that answer? It doesn't matter as much as hoping that Dave's is still there when I'm around again. -

OK, gave this place a second try for lunch with co-workers. Pretty much the same experience.....great service, cool atmosphere, but the food was just average. I had a cup of soup and a grilled cheese with french fries. It was just OK - nothing to rave about. The fries were a little under par and I am still tasting them as I write this review! This place does not justify any praise but it will do in a pinch.

I'm from New Jersey, the home of diners, so I feel like I should know my stuff when it comes to diners. I have had relatives living in the MIddleboro and Taunton area for years, but this was the only time we were able to actually get away from family dinners and try a restaurant. A diner near-by? Yep. I'm there.
Dave's Diner is a retro looking place with a huge menu plus specials, which must change daily since they use a white board above the stool seating. I chose to have the Corn Chowder with the Chicken Salad wrap, which both were delicious. My total bill came out to $9. How can I complain about that! The cup of corn chowder was really thick, giving me no reason to feel like I needed a bowl. Then the chicken salad wrap needed a slice of cheese and maybe a little more lettuce, but it was already on a whole wheat wrap, and was quite large.
Since I have plans to visit some family in December in Middleboro and Peabody, I will also plan a visit to Dave's Diner for some brunch as well. It's really a can't miss in an area with not so many restaurants. -

I came here expecting it to just be ok, but I was very surprised about how well the food came out. The home-fries were some of the best I've eaten in awhile, eggs weren't anything too special, but the chocolate pancakes were great. Service was very good also. Their is some good competition on this street, and it seems to me that this might be the clear cut winner. Everyone else who has reviewed this place also claims that this is the best breakfast place in the area. I can't remember the last time I've had such a good breakfast for under $10.

Dave's Diner is nothing special. The staff treats their regulars well, but if you're just passing through they aren't very attentive to you. The breakfast food is just average too. What let me down the most is the home fries. That is what sets apart a diner breakfast from the competition. Their fries are more like little soft cubes instead of the crispy triangles I like. I am not a home fry expert, but it seems like the par boil them a little to long, then just give them a little crispiness on the frying pan. The eggs range from simple, fried and scrambled eggs up to omelets like the Buffalo chicken and blue cheese filled one I had today. So they get added points for having some different options, but they aren't over the top like Percy's up the street. Dave's isn't great, but it's one of the better choices for food in Middleboro. So if you're stuck there it's your best bet.

Dave's is the coolest diner I have ever been to in the state. They are open 7 days a week, they serve great food, and there are also a lot of desserts to choose from! They also serve excellent breakfast! The menu is fun with all the favourites of the 50's, but they also have traditional meals, as well. I usually get 'The Bird' -an oversized turkey burger - with fries and a shake! I also went on St. Patty's Day once for the traditional Corned Beef, and it was tasty! If you're in the area I highly recommend this place anytime of the day. Also, if you're interested, they have great car shows in the summer on Thursday nights! Bring the kids! :D

I came in here to grab breakfast before heading to the Patriots / Ravens game. I was pleased with my breakfast, although the home fries could have been a little less bland.

Dave's Diner is a cute little restaurant inside of what appears to be an oversized Airstream Camper. The walls are decorated with everything from Gold Records to old car advertisements. There is even a jukebox for all your music needs! The food is very homey, and almost everything is made fresh on site. This is one diner where the food isn't super greasy, just yummy. I suggest the burgers and the buffalo chicken. The chicken has a lot more flavor than most I have encountered.

Definitely worth stopping by on your drive-abouts in south mass. Very friendly people, cushy seating (if in a booth), 50's decor (complete with an old cigarette ad in the bathroom), and great food for the price (roughly $8-$9 for a burger, $7 for a sandwich or a wrap). Would definitely stop back the next time I'm here :)

if you want a quaint retro-diner place to eat, this is it. the food is okay, it's usually pretty busy there, nothing special really. not as retro-like as say, johnny rocket's, but still pretty interesting.

Dave's Diner is "Cute".The 50's decor reminder me of my youth.Some customers came in 55 and 56 Chevrolets.The Service is great,the prices are fair,and the food is good.Nothing special to rave about!!(except dessert)The Turkey dinner was ok ,the stuffing and potatoes and gravy and cranberry sauce were very good but the "fresh" Turkey was tasteless !The baked Haddock was "Typical". The best thing was the dessert!!! Warm Blueberry Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream was "Hugh" and delicious!!!! Best I have ever had!!!! I would go back just for dessert!!!
