April 2017 - Deluxe Town Diner - Watertown MA

Boston Marathon Weekend and my sister Alice (aka Pepper Pot) is in Boston to run the Marathon. She also being a diner fan suggested we get together Saturday morning at the Deluxe diner.   This was the start to a great day where we spent time enjoying the Marathon Festivities while Alice  completed her sign in process.  Then we went to the Red Sox game with her and husband Frank.  Just a beauty day.

History First

The Deluxe Town Diner is an historic diner at 627 Mount Auburn Street in Watertown, Massachusetts.

This diner was manufactured on site, rather than having been prefabricated and shipped to the site from a specific diner manufacturer. In 1947, George Contos and his father built this diner around their earlier Worcester Lunch Car Company diner. The Worcester diner became the kitchen in the current building. The Town Diner's two-tone porcelain siding and its round glass-block corners combine architectural features of the Worcester and Paramount Diner manufacturers, respectively.^[2]

The diner was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as "Town Diner"

Our Experience

This place is busy, they pack them into every available space. Definitely looks and feels like a Worcester diner with most of the cooking being done right at the counter.  

The menu was overwhelming - far too many selections but the waitress was excellent explaining it to us and making recommendations based on our questions.  We enjoyed .......

• Corn Beef hash
• Home Fries 
• Pancakes 
• Eggs over easy
• Egg Sandwiches 
• My muffins 
• Some of the best apple fritters.
• and Darn good coffee.

 

And the Syrup they provide for the pancakes and fritters is real Mass Maple Syrup.  Wow in Watertown.  What a treat.

We all left full and very satisfied - well worth visit and five stars for a return visit.
