    The turkey club sandwich is so good idk what sauce they add but it makes it so worth the visit
    Heres a picture of the home fries which are pretty good as well

    This place has been around forever, opened umpteen years ago... Named in 1938...

    Hmmm I think it has the original counters and stools...Very cool...

    The diner is an actual Brill dining car purchase in 1928..

    There are a few tables outside to enjoy during the warm weather.

    This is a fun place to eat. Eating here is like stepping back in time.

    Breakfast is served all day.

    On this visit i enjoyed the Mushroom Swiss Burger.  It cam to the counter cooked a perfect medium rare open faced with melted Swiss and a pile of Sauteed mushrooms and a bag of chips for $6.95

    I also enjoyed a cup of fresh brewed iced coffee, they serve the milk on the side.

    The entire staff was well mannered, and my waitress was very attentive and personable.

    For such an old establishment, I was surprised at how clean everything was.

    I give the Capitol Diner a Solid 4 Stars

    So... first breakfast in Boston... BEST BREAKFAST EVER. EXCLAMATION POINT. STOP.
    Super cool motif.
    Insanely friendly team.
    Super menu... oh and then there's the actual food...
    GF had the Garden Scrambler... she loved it.
    I had the Hobo Skillet... SICK!!!
    BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!!
    Gave 5 stars because 10 is not an option.
    Love this joint and WILL be a regular.

    Small, quaint place that is definitely a local favorite.  Service was great and my server was friendly and attentive.  French toast I ordered, stuff with lemon curds and topped with fresh blueberries was great. And the scrambled eggs received were cooked perfectly.  This would be a 5 star review except the hone fries and coffee were just okay.  Can't wait to try other stuff in the menu.
