Salem State University Purchases and Reopens Historic Diner

The Salem Diner is open for business! The historic restaurant is now under Salem State University’s ownership and is being operated by Chartwells, the school’s primary food vendor. The diner was purchased by the rapidly growing university in the summer of 2013 and reopened just in time for the Spring 2014 semester. To give the classic style diner an updated look, the walls were painted and each of the 47 seats were reupholstered.

Guests who have eaten there since the reopening say the food and the atmosphere have the same great feel as it did before it closed. The only complaint was the absence of a popular favorite: french fries. This is only temporary, until a fry-o-lator is brought in. In the mean time, there are plenty of other options, including breakfast items that are served all day long.

Hours of operation will be 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays. The diner will also reopen daily from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
