Casey's Diner

Such a cute little diner. There is only counter seating and the staff is really friendly. We had a burger (cooked perfectly), grilled cheese, and a root beer float. The perfect evening! Just a note it is cash only, but there is an ATM outside.

Delightful old school diner that looks like an old coach or train car. It's also a historic monument. And it still serves delicious breakfast! Cash only. Very limited seating. 100% will return :)

Staff can be kind of rude. Food is expensive for what it is. Tastes good if you have the money to spend. Disappointed that the spirit of the diner seems like an excuse to charge way more. The menu does not have prices updated, some add ons are displayed as 50 cents but when you pay they tell you it is $2. Update the menu in good faith. Also, treat all customers with upmost respect. Experience can be hit or miss. Ups and downs but recently bad.

Incredibly cool historic diner. Went at 9am on a Monday and no one was inside. Our server/cook was so nice and made a GREAT sandwich with perfectly cooked over-easy eggs. The atmosphere is the best part as it takes you back in time and you can slow yourself down to appreciate sipping on a cup of coffee and enjoying the prospect of your post-meal day. It is a cash only establishment but they do have an ATM outside in case you come unprepared. Will definitely return to try their famous steamed hot dogs.

A nice dinner at a local favorite, Casey’s Diner, and it was great. Simple, authentic diner food that hits the spot. I love the hot dogs there, steamed and served in a steamed role as well. The original grill makes those burger extra delicious. Always a fun stop.

So enjoyed this new found place - had a burger & hot dog both were so good. NO greasy burger. Enjoyed sitting on the old stools & looking around. The guys were very friendly - very welcoming. Will be sure to get back here ! Throughly enjoyed. Cooked to perfection. Thank you Casey's

Entering this place is like stepping into a wrinkle in time. The diner, a former railroad car, is so tiny that I believe there are only 8 stools at the counter. There are no tables. When my brother and I arrived, we were the only customers, which added to the sense of unreality here. According to the very friendly staff, the menu items cannot be changed, though the prices can be updated. So, sorry, folks, if you were hoping for a steaming hot cup of Sanka! My burger and crinkle fries were delicious. But I won't be going back for the food, I'll be going back for the very unusual experience. A definite recommendation.

So much history at this diner famous for its hot dogs. I started taking my kids here when they were young. My dad took me when I could barely fit on the stool. His dad took him when he was a little kid. We would either eat there or grab some and head to the waterfall in South Natick More often than not we ate there. I start out with the same thing I've been getting for over 40 years. 2 red and a brown cow. That's Casey's language for 2 with ketchup and a chocolate milk. They also make great burgers, pie's for dessert and they now have fries. The staff is always friendly. Plenty of history on the walls. This is a must for any foodie, hotdog lover, and or the overall rail car experience. Also, their Boston Creme Pie is delicious!

Unsanitary and disappointing experience. I hope we don't get sick! We visited this diner on a Sunday morning after church, drawn in by the good reviews and old-fashioned charm of the building. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. The only person working, a man named Jim, was unkempt and unwelcoming--almost as if he wished we had ordered at the window instead of sitting down. From the moment we entered, I had a bad feeling. Once you look past the vintage character, the lack of cleanliness is hard to ignore. The appliances looked decades old and poorly maintained, crumbs were scattered in the kitchen, and the overall state made me wonder about health code violations. Jim was also wearing blue gloves when we walked in--but they were already visibly dirty. Instead of changing them, he kept the same gloves on while cooking, plating food, and even handing us our silverware. After serving us, he sat down to drink his Dunkin' coffee with the same gloves still on. It was clear he had no regard for proper food-safety protocol, and those gloves weren't coming off anytime soon. The grill, where all the food is cooked, was dirty and greasy from the prior day. Our eggs tasted overwhelmingly of burnt grease, and I even watched Jim scrape bits off the grill and scoop them from the grease trap onto my plate--absolutely unacceptable. The corned beef hash was undercooked and cold in the middle, with a gelatinous, unappetizing texture. Even the coffee was bad--lukewarm, acidic, and seemingly reheated from the day before. To make matters worse, Jim himself was drinking Dunkin', which said enough about his confidence in the coffee being served. For four eggs, one side of corned beef hash, and two coffees, the bill came to $27. We hardly touched the food. This place is unsanitary and unsafe, and I plan to report it to the local health inspector. I don't understand how it has positive reviews--it deserves no more than 2 stars at best. I strongly recommend avoiding it.

Casey's is still 5 stars. Went for hot dogs and fries today. Ordered from the take out window. The hot dogs were ready in less than a minute. We had to wait on the fries. Had our choose or regular fries or crinkle cut. We chose Crinkle. Warning - they do not salt the fries. But will give you a salt shaker to salt them yourself. 4 dogs plus an order of fries was $23.

Holy prices Batman Stopped in Sunday and 3 young kids operating the place efficiently and no issues with them . But;, Now 4.25 for a dinky steamed hot dog... Keeps increasing beyond what it is worth. 10.50 for a cheeseburger melt on white bread. 14.75 and still hungry Now, any steamed hot dog done right is a good dog... this was but worth about 2.50 even with today's Biden inflation still lingering... Cheeseburger was decent as a melt vs a bun... Small burger size tho... not 10.50 values Probably fair at 7.00 to 7.50... not sure why exchanging the bun for 2 slices wonder cheap bread costs 2 bucks more.... Anyway.... As they say... don't like the food or prices... go elsewhere. My dog was 2 bites, burger 3-4 and my belly still hungry based on size. I assume as prices keep climbing, sales volumes decrease ... slippery slope of economics... easy to replicate by a competitor or hot dog food truck .

Step back in time to this nostalgic location operating since 1890 Steamed hotdogs and flatiron grilled burgers are the go too here This is a must visit diner for a soft steamed hotdog bun and the burgers are delicious

The food isn't particularly great or cheap, but you mostly come here for the history. I was lucky enough to come in while they weren't busy so I was able to get a seat at the bar and chat with the people behind the bar. It was really cool to hear the story of Casey's Diner. The hotdogs are pretty good, but expensive and the burgers are good, but expensive. There seemed to be a lot of regulars that passed through while I was there and I don't get it.

Had delivery via Door Dash. Cannot believe was not in a bag, only 2 containers held together with a rubber band. Also, for the price you would expect"real" chicken and not processed. How can fries arrive still frozen? Do better!

This place is adorable - sat on the stools at the bar - ordered a hot dog & hamburger - both were so good. Service was top notch - had 3 young men at the helm Will definitely go back !

DONT GO THERE!!! The worst food I have ever eaten. The eggs were not edible & the "cook" Jimmy never asked why I didn't touch my eggs. The bottom of the eggs had a brown crust. The bacon was over salty & cooked so well done it wasn't edible. They gave us coffee with no spoon to stir it. We had eggs,bacon, toast & coffee and it cost a whopping $26.00!!!! Now if the food was edible that wouldn't have been a bad price. Eggs came without out the toast and then bacon showed up. Everything came 10 minutes apart, not all at once. This place is a dump.

Staff can be kind of rude. Food is expensive for what it is. Tastes good if you have the money to spend. Disappointed that the spirit of the diner seems like an excuse to charge way more. The menu does not have prices updated, some add ons are displayed as 50 cents but when you pay they tell you it is $2. Update the menu in good faith. Also, treat all customers with upmost respect.

Extremely grumpy men who work here but we love the place and the food. They would not grill the hot dog bun for my 90 year old dad. Remind them to change their gloves after handling the money and before preparing the food. Nice touch they deliver to the car.

Mediocre food, the most unfriendly service I can recall having in a LONG time. Neither of the gents behind the counter said hello when I sat down, didn't ask if I was enjoying the food, and ignored me as I got up to leave.

They could be better at serving people and not yelling at them and who only takes cash??

What can I say about a place that's been doing it for 100 years, egg salad sandwiches are stuffed and delicious, hot dogs are always on point, and the cheeseburgers are great... what you waiting for go get you sum!!

Family favorite of ours! Owner is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Best part of coming to spend time with my grandparents living in Natick was getting lunch from here. Still go every time I'm in the area and it hasn't changed. The historical nostalgia is probably the best part. The hot dogs are awesome and the burgers cooked to order! I'm lame and just get ketchup but my family loves the all-around dogs. Great pie selection to if you have room for dessert!

This Natick institution always absolutely nails their bark-ey burgers cooked atop a cast-iron griddle with decades of seasoning infusing delicious flavor into the patty. They are also known for steamed hot dogs - somehow the dogs snap and the buns disappear like clouds into the bolus forming in your very happy mouth. Limited diner-style seating in the train car and outdoor tables. Very friendly service, but remember cash.

Been coming here for decades . Very small old school diner, 7-8 stools inside and a takeout window on the side . When busy it can get REALY tight ! Cash only .. service is quick have to wait a bit for burgers cooked to order onions in is the way to go ... place could use a good cleaning all around .. prices are getting a bit steep for what you get . Dogs are 4( steamed ) and burgers are 8 just too pricey... burger side they put on enough condiments hot dog side is a joke especially onions a few slivers ...

Just ok. Been coming here for years. The burgers are tasty. Dairy Queen up the road on 27 has much better dogs. Both are overpriced here. Other reviews are correct in pointing out sanitary conditions here-it might be clean but sure doesn't seem it.

This place has history. The people coming here over and over have memories attached to this place. It's a little set up with limited seating and takeout option. If all this appeals to you, you can give it a try and decide for yourself whether you want to go back. If you are someone who wants to sit down comfortably with a chair and table in a medium to large place, if you are someone who wants the server to talk to you politely while taking the order or serving the food, if you are someone who likes to go through the menu and easily understand the menu options.....this place is not for you. I was expecting it to be a lot better after reading the reviews. But, I had a bad experience. Never going back.

This place is small but makes delicious food The cook is fun and always positive and cheerful. They have a solid customer base and people coming and going. The service is quick. This place is historic and worth the visit.

Great hotdogs and hamburgers! Fabulous prices. Very simple little place with only bar style seating. I love the bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions, lettuce and tomato. Better than Five Guys! The food is cooked fresh in front of you. Quick and friendly service!

Food amazing, love their hotdogs, love the old photos & everything about the old diner I love. Service was awesome, and the people are very friendly. There prices are cheap compared to other places. It can get hot inside on a hot day but it's definitely worth it.

My son said the food was mid. He had two dogs, they went a lil heavy with the mustard. I think it's a cool place that's been running for over 130 years! Unfortunately they have to have a tiny menu of mostly burgers and hot dogs (no fries ) If that's what your looking to eat than give them a try!

Casey's is known for their steamed hotdogs served with mustard, relish, and chopped onions. If you know, you know to order them "all around"! A lot of people don't know that they have excellent burgers ! When I go, I order a hotdog as an appetizer, and then a burger! And the people who work there are always quick and very friendly

If you love a local diner Casey's is for you. The food is made fresh rift in front of your eyes. The staff are friendly happy to suggest ways to accommodate your tastes. I came in thinking about a late breakfast but drooling from the smell of the juicy burgers on the grill. On the magnificent suggestion from Shannon I got a thick grilled cheese with a fried egg and burger on it. Wow! It hit the spot and made my day. The space is small, but I call it intimate. It's a small club car structure with an island counter so you sit directly next other patrons. You can chat if you'd like or just eat quietly and no one bothers you. I think that speaks volumes about the spot where everybody is welcome with no issue. I will be coming back.

Awesome one of a kind, true train car diner. Food was excellent, love the old timey ambiance. Very small so you might have to wait for a stool.

Good food and hot dogs, chef incredibly rude to customers waiting in the "wrong place" for food

Deeply uncomfortable and unwelcoming experience would not recommend.We stopped by this diner in Natick for a quick late lunch. The place was almost empty just one customer and the owner running the counter and kitchen. From the moment we walked in, we were met with cold stares and exchanged looks between the owner and the only other customer, the kind that made it very clear we were not welcome. It was subtle, but unmistakable.We placed a simple order: a sandwich and a coffee. A minute later, the owner asked where we had parked. When I said across the street, he immediately said, "Why don't you wait in your car? I'll bring it out to you."Let me be very clear, the diner was empty. There was absolutely no reason for this except to make us feel out of place. We chose to leave and wait in the car. The food was brought out with zero courtesy, zero eye contact, zero words.This wasn't just bad service, it was thinly veiled hostility. I've traveled and eaten in many places, and I know when I'm being silently told: "You don't belong here." If you're a person of color, or simply someone who believes in basic decency, skip this place. There are plenty of diners that serve food without side servings of discomfort, judgment, or exclusion.

Zero stars to be honest, Rude and racist owner, i came here for the first time and asked for breakfast and was rudely almost racistly told to go to their website to see the menu and slammed the dirty plastic window in my face, i asked is there a reason why your so rude im trying to order food and was told No reason and slammed the sliding door again .. will be reporting the owner to the BBB , racist and rude if your black or as I can tell someone who is from this weird area

Not many places like this left! Old time hot dog shack that won't disappoint. Came for a quick hot dog lunch on a beautiful day and sat outside and had several (I'm not telling) hot dogs in a great little hole in the wall. It's still legendary!

Great service, super delish hot dogs, perfectly scrumptious burgers and old, historic diner. Seats about 10 people at the counter. 3 or 4 tablesl outside. I love love love Casey's ..but I do not suggest other foods there as I have never tried them in 30 years! No need for me to branch out with what I know I love there.

It has a cool, retro atmosphere, being set in a dining car and all. The food is pretty much what you'd expect from an old diner like this- fine, but a bit bland and/or greasy depending on the dish. The service is fine, too. Great spot for a low key bite and a selfie out front

Great service quick and tasty! The food reminds me of a summer day out at a good baseball game! Always smacks! 10/10

Best god damn hot dogs anywhere. Snap when you bite into them with a nice soft steamed bun. Absolute perfection. Been going here 40 years and always perfect. I hear they have good burgers but I will only eat the hot dogs. Always friendly service. Great diner, makes you feel like your not in the shithole that 2023 is.

Great old time diner. I've been going there for 60 years. The best hot dogs ever!! Friendly family business

Best burgers and grilled cheese. Breakfast on they have good food. Go off hours it's a small place. BLT to die for as well as breakfast anytime. Coffee great. Add what ever to burgers they get it right

I was back in Natick for a few days from Chicago. Had a break in the day so I walked over for two all around, chips and a Pepsi. Fast service and the dogs were, as always, awesome. My family loves Casey's and we've been going there for generations. My mother is moving to Chicago after 79 years in Natick. I don't know if I will ever have a chance to visit Casey's again so it was a treat to sit at the counter one last time for my favorite meal. Thanks to the Casey family for keeping this terrific local business going.

Moved from Natick to So CA & I still think about Casey's Diner. Used to love to go there for their hot dogs. Glad to see you are still in business. If I get back there again, you can bet your bippy I'll be in for a hot dog.

This diner is small but mighty ! Traveled an hour just to get two of their amazing hotdogs today ! I've said for years that their hotdogs are so good I would drink their hotdog water lol

Amazing food, lots of variate. Very welcoming and nice workers/service. Surrounding ambiance is very calm and lots of seating arias and parking spots.

From inside this charmingly dilapidated tiny building came superbly prepared specimens of those classically simple delights, a bacon cheeseburger and a vanilla shake. I enjoyed ducking through the little front entrance with the sliding door to look inside. I enjoyed placing my order at the outside window, and hearing the team members call out to coordinate the order. I appreciated delivery to my car window. And I enjoyed my meal. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Exceptional friendly staff. Old time bar-restaurant. A neighborhood gem. Our first visit but surely not our last

Casey's Diner always hit the spot. They always have the BIGGEST deals! I've never knew CaseOh was a cooker!

Moved to Southwest Florida from Natick. Not missing the weather, but certainly missing Casey's. All around hot dogs, pepper burger with mustard, cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and ketchup. Can't wait till I come up. Still have a gift certificate that I hope I can buy a nice meal for myself and any friends or kids that might be nearby that want to share. My dog misses it as well. She loved a hot dog tossed to her. Eating it gingerly because it was too hot for one gulp.

Est in 1890, food is simple and would make the purists happy. Steamed dogs and burgers are their main attraction. They come out quick and are fresh. You can also get pieces of pie, chips, soda, SANKA and some breakfast sandwiches like an egg and cheese. My only complaint is they don't wear gloves and they're all constantly handling money. That being said, they've been around so long and no one has died.. lol.. but I think today they could at least wear gloves when making the food. That's my only complaint.

Always great after 40 years never disappointed to bad we don't live closer, the ride has become over an hour !!

Not a virgin anymore! Great tuna, great tunes, nice people and a comfy spot for comfort food on a rainy Ides of March. Also liked the apple pie and coffee. Next time I will venture a burger. What the hell, you only live once.

Got the burger medium and it was perfectly cooked with juice running all over just the way I like it. Made me a believer

Such a funky, fun place! My niece found it and we both loved it. Take it what it is. Ab our server was charming and gave us the history of the spot.He cooked up an egg and cheese on FRENCH toast and hash browns that was inexpensive and good. No over the top toppings, add ons or portion sizes. Just a good reasonable breakfast. And the coffee? Excellent! So happy to find a place with personality having come all the way from SoCal. Not for anyone looking for fancy!

I love Casey's! Consistently great simple food with fantastic burgers and dogs! The prices are reasonable. The place is super tiny, but cute in an old diner car sort of way. It stays true to its roots!!
