Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Bramesole Diner. The sun was shining, and it was my first visit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and chose a cozy booth to settle into. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering how food costs are rising everywhere these days. A quick heads-up: it’s cash-only, but they have an ATM on-site, so it’s not a big deal. The food? Incredible. I meant to snap a photo, but it was so good I couldn’t stop myself from diving in. The coffee was spot-on, too. The interior is cozy and spotless—passing even the high standards of my wife who has an eye for these things! We left with full bellies, big smiles, and the perfect start to our Sunday. We’ll absolutely be returning on a regular basis, and I can’t recommend Bramesole Diner enough."
"Went for breakfast with family. The scrambled eggs were ok... They were on the overcooked side. The pancakes and burgers were decent. The service was great. It's a little hole in the wall diner with a cool vibe. They don't take credit cards so make sure you have cash with you."
"Yummy food, great atmosphere! Got the veggy burger with onion rings and split a strawberry milkshake with my partner. I'd say the prices were a bit higher than I'd expect after reading the reviews, I assume they've changed to match the rate of inflation, but the service was wonderful and the inside of the diner is comfortable and nostalgic."
"Great place to get breakfast - They have everything you’d associate with breakfast, bacon and eggs, pancakes, sandwiches, bagels with cream cheese! I ordered their blueberry pancakes with breakfast sausages, tasted as you’d expect it to! It was hearty and filling - I did receive one singular pancake that was still a little liquid on the inside, sausages were just a little over. Other than that, food was great! Service was fast, we got sat and received coffee right away. It didn’t take long or us to get our food when we ordered it. We got the bill right when we asked for it! They only take cash here, make sure you get cash before you come and eat. They do have an ATM at the back, but charges a fee to withdraw money. Overall - This is definitely a place to come and check out if you’re ever in the mood for breakfast! Would come again!"
"Best brunch spot on bank for traditional diner style breakfast. They are cash only, but features the cheapest dine-in breakfast I’ve seen in centre town yet. $19 for this monster of a plate, and their &3 coffee is bottomless. Immaculate vibes, and lady is very friendly as well."
"Very very friendly people! The staff helped us very very well!! Awesome people, Thanks a lot! The food was very delicious as well, we had pancakes and chocolate milk! Nice ambiance and interior!"
"Greasy spoon breakfast menu at an affordable price. Decent size serving. Gets really busy. First come first serve. CASH ONLY. No outdoor patio. Tastes great!"
"I heard about this place because of the movie that was shot there. It was Christmas by Design. We went here for 7:30am. The interior was like you were in the 50´s era. We had the Bram-Fekta breakfast meal with coffees. It was really delicious and very filling. We would recommend this place!"
