REVIEWS OF Carleen's IN Massachusetts

Taryn MacPhail

Love this place! The service and food are great! It is cash only and the wait can be long on the weekends but it is worth it. There is a lot of history in this place. I’ve always found parking, even on the weekends.

Winnie Kamau

It's a nice quaint homely restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. Has very warm and charming waiters. The owner John Farmington is charming and welcoming. They serve delicious and amazing food. They have cooking stoves on they have been using over the years on display since 1983. It's Lawrence hidden gem. Note to self: the juices are amazing

Beau Haven

Carleen's is our Sunday morning breakfast stop when we have family in town. The food is good, the coffee keeps on coming, the staff is really nice. We thoroughly enjoy Carleen's every time we go.

Melissa Rivera

Great service all waitresses were friendly. The vibes were great as well. The reason for the one star is because well I have quite a few problems. The food was a little more expensive than I thought it would be. 7.99 for a stack of pancakes. I found that odd. I thought okay they must have good food because these prices and reviews are crazy. So I proceeded with the order. I ordered a country plate or something like that it was 10 dollars for bacon, sausage, beans, 2 eggs & French toast. I thought wow great for the price. I work in food service so when I received my food I immediately knew the French toast was frozen not made by hand. The beans are from a can which I didn't mind the bacon tasted like plastic. & the eggs tasted like rubber. I've worked at McDonald's and the eggs look pretty similar. Long story short I barely at the food. When I received the check I was ready to pay with card in hand to find out they only take cash. Which is fine but there was no signs to indicate that they didn't take cash. All in all. It could be a great place but the food was terrible.

cj Johnson

Arrived shortly before closing 2pm. Still the staff were friendly and service was great. Food was terrific.

Lisa Stevenson

Best breakfast place near Andover

Martin Serrano

Great local diner. Easy going, fast, roomy. Cash only, but they have an ATM.

Jose Nunez

Just had breakfast here with my kid's and was a bit disappointed. I ordered the country breakfast for my self and a kids country breakfast for my son the portion was the same other than 1 piece of burnt to a crisp bacon and 1 sausage price difference $4. I asked my kids jokingly to rate the food from a scale of 1 to 10 and they both said 4's.My daughter had pancakes and didn't really like em. What kind doesn't like pancakes.... It's also an inconvenience to pay in this day and age how can you not have a debit or credit card payment method, but you can use an atm for a fee??? To some people this isn't much but to retain customers these are simple things that make you think twice about coming back, I don't think I'll be back and if 1 in every 10 feel that way little by little you'll end up with a Restaurant full of empty Chairs.

Hilary Hamer

Surprise find was actually really good. Just wish they'd had cinnamon rolls in supply.

She was a new waitress..other than the supervisor standing over her...she kept her delightful composure. I tipped her for her being steadfast in her position. Well done on this Sunday morning. I wore a satin Pearl Chinese suit , with yellow on yellow. If you remember me. Great job

Good food good service, cash only.

Brianna Gallant

The bacon burger I got was just OK, you could tell it was previously frozen which tastes different than a fresh made burger but I had a bite of my Dads pot roast melt and omg it was good. I wished I had got that instead. Also they make home made lemonade which was great. Everyone was very nice, greeted me when I walked in and made sure I was being helped.

David Corbett

Good was very good.

Willmer Ferrara

Misael Barranco

Exclent sevices

Alex Perron

Great food, quality ingredients, very affordable. Diners like this are an endangered species!

DOOM

I was wondering if carleens was still open and I guess they are. 2eggs, 2 sides of bacon, 2 pancakes, 35minute wait for food. $24 dollars. Cash only so I got robbed another 1.50 for the ATM. Service wasnt good because there was only 1 person working the floor and the owner was no where to be found. I should have offered the kid a job working for me because he looked so miserable. Definitely will not be going back.

Tanya Kennedy

Always good food an great service with a wonderful staff as well

Raul Diaz

The service they provide is outstanding. The prices are better than any other restaurant. They treat you like family.

Henry Lebensbaum

The restaurant is now open. Kind staff. Serves breakfast and lunch. In strip mall, easily seen from street with free parking. It is casual and the food is ok. Many regulars come there in a friendly atmosphere. I feel it is the best breakfast place in the area. Free refills on coffee. There are breakfast and lunch specials. I recommend this place.

RUBENS Deoliveira

Best homemade corned beef hash around. The service is great.

Fritzlaine Bond

Great food food in ok service

Arthur Bakopolus

Great place

Christy Harper

At a hockey tournament in MA and found this great luncheonette in Lawrence MA. Friendly faces greeted us. Cheery, proactive service throughout our visit. The found is very reasonably priced and delicious. If you find your self in the area, I recommend taking a detour off the highway for this one.

When In Roaming

Stopped into this diner to grab breakfast before a wedding and was surprised at how tasty the food was. Quaint spot with a local “we’ve been here forever” kind of vibe and only open for breakfast and lunch. If you need a bite in the morning, this is a solid choice. Side note for my coffee lovers, they’ve got a Nitro Cold Brew on tap from Boston’s Best Coffee. Only downside, they’re cash only but there is an ATM on site.

Joel Galam

ShurikenPlay

This morning I had Pumpkin coffee. I don't drink coffee, but it was good. To eat I tried the Swiss and ham on a croissant. It came with egg in it. It was delicious. She had a mixed bacon omelette, with potatoes and a croissant. Water was also given to us. The silverware needed some wiping. Place was moderately occupied. Overall, our experience was once again a good one.

Crystal Kennedy

Usually love going here. The waitress wasn't very good. My sister asked for A1 sauce and didn't ever get it. The comments she made wasn't good either. Just not happy with the waitress.

James Gonzo

My kids love the pamcakes!

Jack Mucher

I have been coming here for years and the food has been delicious every time I go. There is always enough on your plate and you don't leave hungry. The service is usually extremely fast and the waitresses regularly come around with coffee to top off your cup. they have bar seating, booths and large tables. 10/10 would recommend for a family breakfast/brunch

Juan Diaz

Monica Delcheccolo

Absolutely love this place the breakfast and the staff are amazing!!!!

Zack Mcinnis

Really bad customer service and no one ever answers the phone to answer take out orders. Food is subpar even for Lawrence standards. You all have been warned, take your money to a business that cares about customers. Carleens has zero respect for their customers.

Lisa Farias

Amazing staff, friendly,clean, great tasting breakfast.

Prateek Adhikaree

Quaint little place. Has a feel of an old-school diner that’s been there since ages. Accepts only cash and seemed liked it has quite a few locals who are regulars. The muffins are huge and amazingly soft. Pretty good choice of items but a little slow service. Good if you want to just sit, relax and have some comfort food.

Gen Cab

Friendly staff. A classic. Good for breakfast/brunch.

Scott Fadden

Holy moly those steak tips are like nothing you've tried before! Unique taste and it's my personal favorite!

It's like eating grandma's homemade breakfast.

Douglas Hubler

Friendly and good food

Joe Bergeron

I get a breakfast sandwhich there when i am close by. Nothing to die for here but good food. I typically dont get the coffee and prefer to get a soda. Sometimes the atm doesn't work and they only allow cash.

Sam Worley

Great breakfast with excellent food, many choices and friendly service. I highly recommend.

Mark K

Food was fine. My only gripe is they only accept cash... It's 2019! Who the hell doesn't accept debit cards in today's world?!?! There's an ATM inside, but you'll pay to use it. Had to knock them down one star just for that.

Melisa Whithed

Went to carleen's with my friend a couple of days ago. Food was really good. the portion sizes were a little small for the price, prices are a bit high. I had to walk to the front to pay because she never came back.

Matthew Smith

I go here almost every Sunday with my Dad. The service is outstanding. They make a point to remember everyone that comes through their door and treat you like family. If you like good food and an extremely friendly staff I'd highly recommend trying them out

Travis Wilfeard

Quaint little shop

LyNN Carroll

Great food and service.

Erin Farrington

It has been a staple in my family for years. The best around by far. My personal favorite is eggs florentine and their specialty pancakes are the best I have ever had. It has a great family environment and is perfect for large groups.

Florian Schuler

We've been there on a Sunday morning with our kids. Not too crowded. Food was great service nice and helpful. Quality vs. cost on very good relationship. We'll come again.

Arthur Pimental

Fun place, it's my sister's name, never thought anyone else spelled that same like thsr

Fantastic brunch. Bring cash!

James Nannery

Irish eggs were awesome, we'll done!

Its cash only, so there's that, and the pancakes were not great. Aside that, the food and service were wonderful.

David Connors

Great food and quaint atmosphere. Service is attentive. No waffles though. They don't take cards as payment.

Stacey Theall

Busy place but the food was good and the service was okay.

Brenda Eilers

Poor service up arrival.. sent first order of crab cake eggs Benedict due to fishy and mushy cream cakes. Rcvd 2nd order it traditional eggs Benedict. Was charger for BOTH dishes and manager inspired we paid for meal that was returned. Will never return. They must need $12 more than a returning customer. When asked and requested for fish to be taken off the bill, was told NO. VERY POOR customer service.

Leigh D

Nice good size restaurant in small strip mall. Friendly staff, lots of seating. Many breakfast and lunch menu options and food was good too. A bit surprising that a lunch sandwich doesn't come with a side like chips or something. Some faves include the Reuben, chicken barb and ant salad. Clean restaurant, glad that reopened after the gas incident.

Luis Fernandez

Love it

Reckoning 410

Love the food

Pamella Proctor

Food is edible, nothing to be excited about. The price for the portion isn't equivalent

Rachel Cusick

Food was great. Staff very friendly! I'd go back!

Audeliz Villegas

Great breakfast

Mark Engelberg

Open again! Crowded and for good reason. We've been coming here for years and perhaps it's all the new kitchen equipment "courtesy" of National Grid but the food was better than ever. Crowded but waited only 5 minutes. Staff was attentive, all smiles and clearly happy to be back at work. Lots of good vibes! We'll be back!.

Arlene BihL Picone

Home made Lunch specials

Andrew Meservey

Carleens has been a breakfast staple of lawrence for as long as I can remeber. was there with all of the volunteers for the Saint Patricks day parade. food cam out quick and like always cooked just right.

Samantha Cocove

Can’t say enough good things about Carleen’s! The food always hits the spot. It’s very tasty and great portions! At Carleen’s, you are treated like family. The service is always outstanding - they check in with you for coffee often. I just discovered it a year ago after moving to Andover for school, and I was so sad to say goodbye - I will definitely be back to visit!

Laurence Cameron

Awsome service, food was great
