Having had no luck finding a good diner-type breakfast in the Back Bay, I'm happy I found Steve's. Don't expect springs of parsley garnishing an anemic, egg-white-and-chipolte omlette; this IS your father's diner. I had my favorite, the heart attack special (bacon&cheese omlette, xtra cheese) and it was all I hoped for - I think they use real butter on the grill (yum!) rather than some margerine analogue. There's a time and place for good greasy food, and when that time comes around, this is the place! My only knock is breakfast is only served until 11:45am on Sat, 12:45pm on Sun.. I would prefer they serve breakfast until at least 2, maybe even all day. Two of us went for brunch, and the total bill was just shy of $15. Hard to beat the value! If you get a window seat, it's also a good people-watching place.
Pros: tasty food, value
Cons: breakfast ends early
