I used to love coming here late with my dance friends after a contra dance. It’s really not the same without T working :(

Usually a great dinner, but came in an hour before closing on a Saturday with a larger party and they refused to seat us!
We've been coming here on Fridays and Saturday nights multiple times a month, but with the recent changes, the server changed away from the usual person, and they close half the diner and shut down so early, and turn off the grill even earlier?? Like why would you close so early on a Saturday night! And close the grill even earlier!

Absolutely charmed by the excellent service, thank you so much, T!
The food was excellent, exactly what you'd expect at a diner that's been in business so long. Really modest prices, huge portions, (makes chain diners and even fast food prices seem like a rip off), and still really well prepared and good quality.
Well worth the price of admission, even before factoring in the charm of the retro furnishings. They have jukeboxes, at the booths, in 2025... Back to the Future level nostalgia.
And our waitress was an absolute delight, veteran of the diner for four years, owners-better-know-how-lucky-they-are-to-have-her sort of waitress. Made us feel like family. Thank you Mama T!
I hope they get back to doing overnight service on the weekends. Closing at one seems kinda odd given that this was always a late night pilgrimage for UMass kids. (Have a DD, frens! And have them drive your tipsy butts here for a heavy hauler to warsh down all the Happy Dads or whatever y'all drink nowadays.)
Wth are you still reading this review for? Go to the Whately Diner already! (PS that is and always will be what it's actually called. Place is a local legend.)

The food was great especially the home fries. The portions are awesome for the price. I especially loved meeting T. She was absolutely amazing, super friendly and down to earth. I loved just being in her company. I will be going back to talk with her again soon.

I have been coming to this diner for a while now and the whole staff is nice. We especially like the service from the waitress that is working right now at 11 pm. I never wanna stop coming here. We love the atmosphere and the food is amazing. Thank you.

I came to this diner today because of all the great reviews, but unfortunately my experience didn’t match them. Our group was served by a blonde waitress who seemed impatient and rushed to take our order, barely making eye contact and even rolling her eyes at times.
When it was time to pay, we raised our hands for quite a while but she ignored us, so we had to walk up to her directly to check out. We also noticed that another group who arrived and ordered after us got their food before we did.
The food itself was okay — not bad, but not really good either — and the portion sizes were smaller than what many reviews mentioned. Overall, pretty disappointing compared to the high ratings here.

Quiet, quaint and friendly. Decent chili and cold beer on tap. Couldn't have asked for more after a long day.

It’s a diner. 24 hours! That’s awesome around here. Perfect for when you have too many thoughts to sleep. And the staff is great.

Love seeing 24 hour diners - something so oddly comforting about good breakfast food late at night. Service was great, our server was incredibly kind, and the food and coffee were delicious.

First time we came a young brunette waited on us. Everything was perfect and warm and welcoming. So we came back. The next waitress was VERY cold and you felt like you were bothering her. Never checked on us, and avoided eye contact. The food was superb. Quantity abundant.. couldn't finish it. Everything else was fine. Idk if we will return as we wouldn't want the same service, don't want to take the chance. Your cooks are just that, and very delicious.
