My father in law is always talking about this place. He worked for the highway department for 247 years and recently retired.
When you are a boss for the MA highway department you spend a decent amount of time…. on the highway. So he knows more local places to eat than anyone.
So as we we’re on our way back from the Cape (coming up 495 to 24) I thought of one thing…
Dave’s Diner…
It’s a solid 25 minute ride from my house and I’m fat & lazy so when I realized we had to drive right by it I was psyched.

It’s not more than 5 minutes off the highway which is very convenient. Once you look at this place you know it has good food, old school 50’s diner. The reason it looks so authentic is because well…. it is.
10+ years later it ’s menu boasts a number of great burgers and sandwichs along with a “legit” 50’s style dessert case. More to come on that.
I went with the “Hot Rod Lincoln”, complete with Cajun Seasoning, Mushrooms & Mozzarella (8oz of course). We also got a basket of “Daddy O’s” onion rings (it came with fries). The burger was good although it could have used a but more seasoning, rings were good as well.
I must admit though that I was pretty fixated on either the dessert case or a milk shake. I ordered a black & white shake and a not-so-quick trip to the bathroom revealed two things:
1) I think I’m going to have a baby in this bathroom, my colon and I are certainly fighting.
2) Ted Williams has “Moxie”, which is (for the record) the worst soda ever.

When I came out my milkshake was waiting for me and it was amazing, best I’ve had in a while.
As a whole It was pretty reasonably priced, $6-$9 range for a burger. The waitress was also very pleasant and the food came out pretty quick.
One quick side note : My wife got the chicken parm sandwich and it was REALLY good, HUGE piece of chicken.
One other surprise was the ample amount of “Gut Room” in the booth. Most Diner booths are not HotFatGuy friendly but this one definetley was. All in all, we would highly recommend it.
