"Punky’s Diner is a Medford institution, a nostalgic ‘50s diner with red vinyl booths and giant letters screaming “EAT PIE” across the wall. Take the wall’s advice: As opposed to a more traditional flaky crust, the pies here have a crust almost like a shortbread, absolutely stuffed with fruit. Instead of sticking to a straight marionberry, Punky’s has been known to try out fun combinations, like marion key lime. If the marion Dutch is available, that is the move. Flavors rotate throughout the week, so check the restaurant’s Instagram to see what’s available any given day." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
