The Deluxe Town Diner is a historic diner 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".[1]
