Four Sisters Owl Diner

Decent portions, great service, great food and a very nice atmosphere, are the reasons this breakfast restaurant is a favorite. I visited with my family and decided to give it a big thumbs up. There is only one set back: PARKING is very limited. Server was amazing, but I didn't get her name. I loved the theme... would you send me a t-shirt if my pictures reach 5,000 potential customers?

I wanna start by talking about the place: it’s very cute, cozy, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. Now about the food: no joke, it’s the best Eggs Benedict I’ve had in the USA! The ham is thick, flavorful and little salty, but it goes perfectly with the bread, the egg and the hollandaise sauce which is also amazing We also loved the pancake, it’s not dry, it’s fluffy and flavorful I’ll definitely keep coming back for the Eggs Benedict

We had The Hungry Owl, omelettes, a breakfast sandwich, and bacon, with plenty of coffee refills. Loved it all, especially the bacon! The atmosphere was fun and traditional diner, with regulars bantering throughout the meal. We will be back!

I love breakfast and brunch and it is the perfect place for me. The food is so good and its service is even better. Their breakfast is huge so if you are very hungry, it is the best way for you to make yourself happy.

For a fast and excellent breakfast, go no farther than Four Sisters. Kelly and her crew are second to none, and the food is always served hot. The Banana Pancakes, made with premium butter and a touch of extra love, are very delicious. Whenever I visit Lowell again, you can bet that I will not pass up the chance to eat here.

If you want tradition, nostalgia, and classic wicked good breakfast food this is the right place for you! This place never gets it wrong. The best bacon egg and cheese of all!

Absolutely amazing experience! We fell in love with this diner. Both Jamie (who served us) and the food were simply brilliant! Lots of vegetarian options to choose from. A must visit, especially if you are new to town and keen for a classic diner experience.

First the good news. My Greek Benedict was outstanding, with the best poached eggs I've ever had. There were two options for the sauce, and the waitress talked me out of the cheese sauce I wanted and into the hollandaise. She went so far as to bring me generous samples of each. Now the rest of the story. It wasn't busy, and we were there for over an hour and a half - we weren't lingering. There were long waits for a greeting, then to order, then for food (which I never mind), then to get the check, then to pay the check. "Beans available on request," according to the menu, a Lowell tradition that I discussed with the waitress at length and clearly requested, didn't appear. When our food came out and I reminded her, "my beans are coming, right?" her reply was a simple "No." My wife and son described their food as average and their iced tea as awful (but only later). I love that these places still exist, throwback diners, and I'll probably return, hoping for a different waitress.

I would call this a hidden gem but everyone on the north shore knows about it! We waited about 10 mins to be seated and from there our server was AMAZING! The vibe is a retro diner that give the nostalgia you need! We spent about $76 total items range from $8-$15 on the breakfast side ! I will definitely be back

My sister ordered just a simple French toast with bananas. I got the Greek Benedict, it was my first time having eggs Benedict The sauce had a rich taste, it was neutral for me. Wasn't bad but wasn't the greatest, just not used to it. The service was friendly and good. Would return to try other items on the menu.

Ok this is the cutest diner in the whole world! I absolutely LOVE owls and I had to go check this place out as a diner and owl lover. The parking is limited, but expected, because Lowell.. I ended up getting a spot in front as someone left. Walking inside, you definitely get the old-school diner feel and the waitress behind the bar area greeted us and told us to sit anywhere. It looks like a small place from the outside, but somehow, it kept going and going inside haha The waitress was so nice and was super talkative and kind to all her customers. She knew some of them as regulars and made jokes, small talk, and checked in often. I got a simple order of scrambled eggs and she served it up fast and was quick to make sure I didn't need anything else. Breakfast was delicious and served hot! The vibe here is perfect and having breakfast here will start your day off right! I'll definitely be back! Highly recommended if you want a cute spot to check out.

Had eggs Benedict with hollandaise. Awesome. Moist ham thick. Sauce was tasty along with home fries. Service has always been the best. Of course there is abit of dishes banging in the back, but hey it's a diner.

Was pointed to this apparently famous little stop. The food was outstanding. The people were great. Will definitely come back anytime we're in Lowell.

Delicious breakfast in a traditional diner. Perfectly cooked; service was friendly, prompt and thoughtful.

Very consistent excellent food. Friendly staff that is knowledgeable regarding menu. Never had a bad meal and the family has been going to the OWL for years

This place has suffer big changes since Covid, none of them positive. The last two times the food was either burned or poorly cooked. The service is just ok. Good luck at getting more coffee, after the first cup.

I went looking for a Americana diner and I found a good one in Owl Diner. When you first arrive it's like your in a scene from a Marvel movie because the exterior looks like the diner the Avengers eat at in the extra scene of The movie. The interior is pure Americana. It looks small from outside but there is actually more seating then what it looks like. They have a good amount of choices especially in the omelet section of the menu. We decided to share in the corned beef hash breakfast and a blueberry short stack. Both was really good. The corned beef hash is seasoned perfectly and the eggs and home fried potatoes were fluffy and flavorful. The pancakes were good and not dry like what was in a earlier review. Another diner to add to our return list.

Been coming for years, as soon as you sit down, they bring you coffee. They enhance the can hash. They have a long list of omelettes. Gluten Free and Keto friendly. All delicious and a friendly place.

The Owl Diner is the real deal. It is a traditional, neighborhood diner in the middle of Lowell. The service is fast and very friendly, the food is hearty, delicious and inexpensive, and (what can I say) it's a real diner where the ambiance is to treat everyone like a neighbor (even if it is your first visit).

Used to go here occasionally with my boyfriend until today when they CHARGED HIS CARD DOUBLE. He mentioned it to them and they got mad, refused to fix their mistake, and refused to give him a receipt. Despite being a diner, the wait is always at least 40 mins in weekend morning which we tolerated for a bit, but now will not be going back there.

It's a diner. They have excellent breakfast food and service at excellent prices. Get the Hungry Owl.

very cozy and bustling on a weekend. My mom was here visiting and we decided to go and have the specialty French toast and a typical breakfast. Well worth the drive. Service was adequate not too much not too little.

This is my absolute favorite place to go for omelettes. I always order the Dutton St omelette (corn beef hash and American cheese), which comes with amazing homefries and toast. My only complaint is that they're not open all day. But their omelettes are SO GOOD.

I need to say - this place was great! It was recommended by a coworker and I couldn't be happier! The ambiance is that of an old school diner and it was amazing. The service and food were both phenomenal. (Even saw former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis walk through!). Got the special - 2 eggs (added a third), three pancakes (added chocolate chips - they were huge!), substituted for a fruit cup, substituted the sausage for more bacon, and got a coffee. For this place to get negative reviews, to me, isn't fair. I will definitely come back!

Fun experience. Friendly staff. Good food. I loved sitting at the counter and watching them cook the food on the griddle. It's an art for sure!

Cool diner with a long local history. There's a incredibly long list of possible omelets though to be frank everything is basically your standard diner fare. I had a breakfast wrap that was okay, with a side of home fries that were quite good. Service is friendly and clearly it's a community favorite. It was a hop and a skip over from the commuter rail, which made it quite convenient for me.

It's a great diner and always serves up wonderful omelets. The service is friendly and they are always around to offer more coffee. The only minor thing is their baked beans. They needed something and need to be hot! Otherwise, it's a very wonderful place to eat.

My favorite place in Lowell for breakfast cooked fast and right in the open kitchen. It's a diner so tables are close to others still there is enough space so everyone has privacy. Walk -in can choose your own seat or booth, waitress and staff welcome everyone at the door. Free coffee refills. Gluten free toast! Pancakes, eggs, sausage, ham...always packed when i go on Sunday which is awesome. Will definitely keep going back!

Haven't been in a while, so was happy to get back to my favorite, The Owl. Met Martha for breakfast. PRO-Happy to see the same experienced staff, as had been there "Pre-Covid". The Ham still the same thick cut, "real ham" not the crappy deli slices you get elsewhere. Home fries were terrific & my eggs were cooked, as I asked. Martha had a great omelet, that came with toast & home fries. CON-Parking can be tight. Out front, a few spots, a lot next door, but you might have to park on the street during weekends. SO- If I have to pick a place for breakfast, you'll find me at the Owl Be sure to bring cash to tip your waitress. You can charge the meal, but tips are CASH ONLY.

Good food, great service, clean and spacious. Fresh OJ is tasty and the home fries are just delicious. The waffles could use a little work, they get soggy by the time they reach the table.

Food is great if you ever get what you order. Slow, run out of everything, and don't inform wait staff ahead of time. Often "lose" the ticket. When express concern the crunchy old owners throw a tantrum. Saw four tables walk out.

They do a great breakfast. Busy all of the time but worth the wait.

Finally took my wife here, guess we had to move to Florida to come back and have me take her to the Owl. Our server was a very cheerful and pleasant woman, wish I caught her name, she made you feel like you ate here every day. My wife went with bacon and eggs and I ham and eggs. My wife commented the bacon was cooked the way I like it, not over cooked, nice and chewy. I then cut her a piece of my ham in which she commented, WOW that is good. Eggs, home fries and toast were all cooked to perfection. The quality of the food along with the prep tells you why the Owl has been here for so many years

Service very cheerful - A wonderful way to start your day. Everything is good But The ham is the real game changer hear something about it tremendous. A wonderful place for breakfast, launch. Weekends can be very busy but well worth the wait.....Argentine Cowboys Boston ma.......

My wife and I enjoyed the food here . The service was great . One thing I dislike was the coffee it wasn't great for me . It was more water than coffee seem to me it didn't have good water and coffee ratio .

I can say from experience I came here a few times and those few times the service has been good. Theres plenty of parking. The place was pretty busy but the waitress was good at coming back to grt everythung that I needed or maybe it was because I was dressed in a suit. The food was good

Great diner experience! Nice little place. Plenty of parking. I ordered eggs and ham, not sure what kind of ham might come out on the plate. The ham that came out was a 1" slab of real ham, grilled. Tender and tasty. This place knows how to do it!

Definitely one of my favorite diners in New England. I typically get an omelette with American and cedder cheese along with onions and tomatoes. Which comes with home fries and toast. The staff is always friendly and the chef is awesome. This guy is a boss behind the counter cooking up any request that the customers want(as long as they have the ingredients) Keep up the good work owl diner.

First time. My son and his wife found this because I asked for a place with omelets. They not only had more choices than anywhere i had been to, but it was a 1950 diner with all of the vibe. Wow. Incredible. I didn't have the omelet, as they had my ultimate breakfast which was eggs Benedict with corned beef hash!!@!!. If I could have prayed for a better meal after 1 week in a distant place without much food, this was the answer Love the staff. So kind and friendly. This should be featured on Channel 4, Rachel Holt.

My boyfriend and I come here often because it's so good. Great energy, good people and awesome food.

A solid diner with solid diner food. It's what you'd expect from a place like this. I'm from the south and was up here on vacation and have found that most places don't have that southern hospitality feel I'm used to, so I've been trying to not let that detract too much from my reviews. The service was quick and helpful, but cold and almost a touch unwelcoming, but don't let that deter you from coming. The food was good. Again, it was diner food, but good diner food. A big enough selection, but not too many choices was a very nice thing to see. The food came out very quickly and was hot and fresh. I had the Methuen St Omelette with raisin toast. We came on a busy Sunday morning and were able to find parking, they have an entire lot next to the diner. The only thing is they ONLY accept cash tips. So make sure you've got some cash to tip your wait staff.

Favorite breakfast place. No other restaurant for breakfast comes close. Classic diner setting, always nice staff, and quick service. I enjoy the low key environment with really good food.

Good Service and Great Strawberry Pancakes! We went here with some family we were visiting who like this local spot and it didn't disappoint. We were probably the only people who were not locals here, so we were amused by the Bostonian accent which sounds so foreign to me! The strawberry pancakes were great. I definitely recommend.... Definitely a good spot with decent prices to feed your inner animal.

Local breakfast, lunch and dinner spot. My uncle and aunt brought us here for breakfast. They live about 5 minutes away from here. They told us is gets busy on the weekends so expect to wait up to an hour! The have lots to choose from on the menu. From pancakes, waffles, and lots of omelettes! The names of the omelettes are street names. Which is cool. Fast service on the weekday and everyone was polite and attentive.

Pancakes are very dry and you have to tips servers with cash, which is inconvenient. Tried this place twice because I thought the second time would be better.

Really a 3.5 stars. I had to try Owl when my niece who lives in Lowell pointed it out from the street and said that everyone loves that place. It really is an institution in Lowell. Very old school. It looked packed from the outside, but it was bigger than it looked from the front. We found a nice window booth in the dining area to the right and behind the box car front. The table was covered in advertising from Lowell small businesses. The menu titled "four sisters diner" was given to us. The history if the diner is printed on the front of the menu and I thought it was a nice touch. Coffee was served in a mug full of advertising as well. I had no issue with this. It shows the diner supports Lowell businesses. It also reflects how popular the diner is with the locals. I love the fact that this diner isn't a pork haven like most breakfast places. I got the Irish Benny. I absolutely love corned beef and corn beef hash, so this was perfect. The coffee wasn't great, but what can you expect from a region that hails to Dunkin Donuts. The potatoes weren't bad but nothing to write home about. I'd recommend breakfast at Owl to anyone visiting Lowell, Mass.

The Four Sisters Owl Diner is a Lowell landmark and a great little diner, which is open for breakfast and lunch. The front portion of the diner is housed in an old Worcester Lunch Car and attached to a building addition. As you enter, there's a lunch counter with stool seating and the hot grill area behind the counter. There's a separate dining room to the right. The breakfast menu offers the typical breakfast favorites including egg dishes, omelettes (named after Lowell streets), quiche, sandwiches, corned beef hash patties, pancakes, French toast, cereals, home fries, beans, meats, toast, muffins, danishes, fresh fruit, and coffee, juices & milk. The lunch menu offers soup, salads, sandwiches, dinner plates (meatloaf, chicken, steak, liver & onions) and cold drinks. During my field visit along Appleton Street, I stopped in for breakfast and sat at the lunch counter. The waitress offered me hot coffee ($1.50) and I ordered the Quiche ($6.95) with a fresh fruit cup. The Quiche was very heavy with lots of cheese and spinach (Florentine) and very tasty. The mixed fresh fruit cup was a refreshing accompaniment. I was given another refill of coffee during my visit. The service was good and efficient. I was in and out of here in 25 minutes, just in time to do another spot check of cars in the field.

You will definitely have a wait but is well worth it. Anytime You are in bull mass stopping for very, very good meal

Covid cautious with great service and amazing food! Must try their Eggs Benedict with spinach and tomato!

Officially my favorite breakfast place in Lowell. I love the nostalgic diner car with the retro appliances and juke boxes. The menu is large and diverse enough to make your decision plenty difficult, but if you're in a hurry just close your eyes and point to something - you'll probably end up liking it. I usually go for the Fletcher St. Omelette and am never disappointed- other than the fact that I can rarely finish the whole thing. Sitting at the counter is fun, but there's also booth seating and table seating in a separate dining room. You can park either on the street or in the lot next to the diner, which is a little tricky to find at first, but easy to get in and out of. The first time we went, we were asked if we'd like beans with our order - which is complimentary and an interesting addition to any order. We don't really get asked anymore, but it's still available if you're interested. There's one server I've had a few times that I'm not fond of because she forgets things, mixes up orders regularly, and spends more time flirting with the men in the room (score for the guys) than she does on making sure her guests have drinks on the table- but everyone else is great. If they got rid of that one waitress, I'd give them five stars- no offense to the girl of course- waitressing just isn't her thing.

Every Sunday after church my family and I would come to owl diner, typical Lowell place rude service but good food, I usually get the pancakes home fries, toast and bacon, large portions we always have left overs..

Important! You can't get lunch on the weekend This diner according to some is the "best" I ordered the spinach and feta quiche. I don't recommend it. To salty and tough. Also it was like a brick with crust on bottom and one side. Ordered sausage, pepper and cheese omelette which was good but there were onions in it. The hash browns are really good. The place had plenty of empty tables but service was slow. We watched this one server who kept going back for food. Watched her eat s muffin and fruit and a protein bar while on her phone.

The food was good the waiting was pretty fast overall service was great would return yes..

Don't come here if you are claustrophobic. They pack people in this place like sardines. I'm sure they are breaking some kind of capacity law. Anyway, I've been here a couple times and the food has always been average. You get what you pay for. But this time, I got the eggs benedict and I guess when you aren't asked your preference, they will automatically hard boil your eggs. I'm all set with this place.

This place sucks overpriced poor seating and was even more poor attempt at being child friendly was told to close my carrige up so people could by wich is understandable considering its so tight and small there so they gave me a highchair wich i had to cram in corner it barley fit and made the entire breakfast cramped and uncomfortable I ordered the pancakes w/ a cofee and my wife ordered kalbasa and eggs .... lets jus say those pancakes were the worst pancakes ive ever eaten they legit tasted like cardboard very thick no flavor and horrible.... My wife experience wasn't any better the eggs were decent i can actually vouch i tried them scrambled and decent.... she said the kalbasa gave her belly ache and she felt bloated and nausea from them .... All in all rude customer service overpriced uncomfortable and bad qaulity 2 stars seems appropriate for the eggs

My family's been coming here for years! My favorite breakfast place. It's a tight fit, but seat yourself, explore a little and you'll find a spot! If you have a large party, let someone know, they'll accommodate. The food is delicious, I don't branch out much, but a big waffle with whip cream and strawberries is my go to. The atmosphere is great, that old school diner feel. Parking can be a pain, they have a large lot, but it's often full. I've been coming here for 25 years, I'm used to it. A tip, there is on street parking along all the side streets near by. My only complaint is as far as I know, they don't have booze, so no morning mimosas. An yes, you need to bring cash for the tip, BUT can pay with a card. Another plus is the staff is great. Last summer, one of the waitresses clearly had to bring her young son to work. He was at the corner table coloring while his mom was going back/ forth between him and waiting tables. All the other waitresses were being great, pitching in to keep him entertained for her, bringing him pancakes and juice. I have a 4 year old, & I'm a working mom, so I know the struggle. I love to see places coming together trying to accommodate for a young mom trying to work. Whenever I have people in town this is where I bring them. We always leave happy!

If you're looking for a classic diner experience then look no further! Service: Seat yourself. Prompt service. Food: Delicious food at a great price with large portions. Home fries were incredible and were made fresh. Ham was a nice thick piece. Atmosphere: Music fit the old diner theme perfectly. Note: They only accept cash tips but there is an ATM located inside that you can use
