I decided to go back to the Tumble Inn after the new ownership took over. They lowered the prices and the food tasted better.. My favorite spot for breakfast. The lunch portions and prices cant be beat. Try them they will not disapoint

The acid test of any breakfast grill is a fried bacon and egg sandwich. This place is great, and the local flavor and location makes it a gem.

I love this place. It is what small town America is all about. And if you are lucky enough to be there on the day that Rose, the waitress, brings in her home made cake, well that's pure heaven. But go early. Rose's cakes don't last beyond noontime, and you have to try a piece. Food is terrific and waitresses great. Customers are also friendly.

Where else can you go to have the best home cooked food, just like Mom made? The waitresses are also the best. Jimmy, the cook, is one in a million. Friendly atmosphere. Great coffee. Try the Chef Salad or Chicken Parmagiana with Ziti. Or better still, try everything. You can't lose at this little breakfast place. Oh yeah, the fish is great too.

This is one of those wonderful little breakfast places you search for when you travel. You know, the places the locals eat. The Tumble Inn is small and borders on being cozy, but the food is the real story here. Eggs cooked exactly the way I ordered them. The grilled english muffins were not greasy and the home fries were very tasty. The coffee (New England Coffee) was served in heavy porcelain mugs and was brewed exactly the way I liked it.l

Sure, I'd go back. We ate there twice during our recent visit to Boston. It's worth the twenty minute drive from our hotel. The bill was reasonable and worth every penny for what I got in return.

The waitresses were cordial and had a sense of humor (a must with me).

Wow what a nice little place. The food is awesome and so is the service. I go there all the time now, it is that good. If you haven't been to Tumble Inn in Saugus,Mass you should go its really good. The cook there, I beleive his name is Jimmy is excellent.

My family and I are from the south and heard how unkind the Boston area can be. We asked a lady where we could get a nice home cooked meal and we ended up at the Tumble Inn Diner. Six am and the place was full. Ma and Pa place. Very cute,old kitchen tools on the walls. Two dozen older men smitten with the waitress. Rose is her name a real pro. We ordered one of amost everything on the menu. Everything was as if granny cooked it. If your looking for a good meal and a nice place stop by and see Rose. We will stop again on our way home. Thanks The Lynch Family.
