Rated one of the “15 Best Diners in New England” by Yankee Magazine, and one of the few true diners listed by Zagut. Originally Peter Pan Diner in Kuhnsville, Pennsylvania; moved to Falmouth in summer 1992 by Lawrence and Kathleen Holmes.
Current diner site started as Tony’s (on-site) in the 1950s, extended and renamed Falmouth Diner. The extension burned and was replaced with this diner, which was attached to the original Tony’s by opening a wall at one end. The original section has been expertly sheathed with folded steel. Sold 1994 to David and Karen Chandler.
Closed Jan. 2019 and threatened by development, but slated to reopen by new owners the Keuchkarian family, who own The Talk in Watertown and Talk of the Town Diners in North Falmouth and Bourne (Pocasset). Those who enjoy eating without the noise of TV may like to know that all Keuchkarian restaurants have No TV.
