The Country Girl Diner

(802) 875-1003

www.countrygirldiner.com
The Country Girl Diner is an authentic Silk City Silver dining car (Serial#178) built in Paterson NJ, in 1944. We think it is one of the few surviving examples of the fine manufacturing abilities of that time. The diner has been in it’s present location since 1966 after some time spent in Jaffrey New Hampshire. Most elements of the dining car are maintained just as they started, for a feel that is different from a modern eatery. Simple, real food done well is our passion.
