"A trip to Casey’s Diner in Natick, Massachusetts feels like taking a step back in time. From the moment you approach the building and step inside, you can feel the history emanating from every corner. The vintage furniture, rustic styling, and old photographs on the walls and connect the past to the present. The story of Casey’s Diner in Natick, Massachusetts began in 1890 when Fred Casey purchased a four-stool horse drawn lunch wagon from the local Brooks family. In 1922, the Worcester Lunch Car Company built a modest 10-stool railcar diner, which was purchased by the Casey family in 1925 and has been passed down through four generations since 1927. With the current structure dating to 1922 and with the Casey family serving lunch to the community for over 130 years, Casey’s Diner is one of the oldest continuously operating diners in the state. There are many items on the diner menu but perhaps the most well-known are their steamed hot dogs prepared in classic cooking equipment that “snap” when first bitten into. Overall, visiting the diner is a fantastic experience which is sure to leave customers satisfied for many more years to come. If you have an interest in classic Americana, then Casey’s Diner is worth stopping by for a quick bite. " - Atlas Obscura
