Al Mac's Diner, Fall River

Though it's been recently renovated under the new ownership of a local brother and sister team, the diner still retains all the vintage touches that made it so uniquely classic, including a huge neon sign, a projecting vestibule, and a stainless steel exterior. The nostalgia seeps into the menu, as well, making the old-school diner a popular spot for local folk, politicians on the campaign trail, and time-traveling greasers. Breakfast includes staples such as french toast and steak and eggs, and lunch features the likes of meatball sandwiches and the Al Mac burger. At dinner, entrees such as gravy-smothered meatloaf.

Even while honoring the old days, the local owners of Al Mac's aren't afraid to embrace the future. They actively seek to reduce their carbon footprint, adopting eco-friendly practices such as composting, stocking recycled materials, and using all-natural cleaning agents.
