Three Decker Diner

The onion rings and quesadillas at Three Decker Diner taste like onion rings and quesadillas. Nothing fancy, yet deeply comforting. New owners took over in 2023, but this roughly 80-year-old spot hasn’t gone the nouveau-retro route of Golden Diner and Revelie Luncheonette. The windows are scratched, the blinds are off-kilter, and the decaying interior is brown and mustard yellow. When you’re reached your capacity for small plates, $30 burgers, and anything with ramps, pop in for a fundamentally sound turkey club with a side of curly fries. The menu is vast, with sandwiches, breakfast items, and entrees like shrimp scampi, and the place is open from 7am until at least midnight every day.
