The diner was built in 1947 by The Worcester Dining Company to serve local factory workers. Over the years, it has become a local landmark, a constant in Boston's after-hours scene and a final evening destination for local residents, students and visitors. It is the place to go when the clubs close, to grab something to eat, hang out with friends, celebrity watch, and keep the party going.
The diner is a Restaurant Guru Recommended, 2021 TripExpert Experts' Choice Awards and a 2020 Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Winner, ranking in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide. It has been featured on The Food Network, and named 'The Best Late Night Food in the US' by Esquire. The Thrillist Group ranked it one of the best 24-hour diners in the country, and it has been named a Best of Boston by Boston Magazine, among others.
Yes, the diner has been the set of many feature films including Hiding Out with John Cryer, Second Sight with John Laroquette, House Guest with Steve Martin, along with more recent appearances in The Equalizer with Denzel Washington, 21 with Kevin Spacey; and The Blue Diner for PBS.
The diner is currently owned and operated by local restaurateur Sol Sidell. Sol grew up in the restaurant business and always dreamed of owning a place where people could have fun, get great food at reasonable prices, and feel like a regular the first time they walk through the door. He brings his passion for creating great dishes and making people happy to everything he does at the diner.
The diner is Boston's only all-night dining destination open seven-nights-a-week and available for private events. While the neighborhood around the diner has evolved from factories producing shoes and hand bags, to an artist community, student mecca, and part of the city-wide Big Dig construction site, one thing has remained unchanged --- the diner is Boston's true diner, and the heart of Boston's late night scene.
