Salt & Pepper Diner (CLOSED)

There’s more chrome and grease here than a motorcycle repair shop, but that’s how you know a diner is worth its spit. The decor’s no retro throwback—the original Lincoln Avenue location has been around since ’65. Our favorites from the standard diner menu include gooey, juicy cheeseburgers; hot, crispy fries; thin omelettes overstuffed with sautéed vegetables; and tall, thick and appropriately famous milk shakes. We also love the fact that you can eat your heart out (or at least eat enough to give yourself heart disease) for less than ten bucks a person.
