Wilson's Diner features a classic mid-20th-century design with stainless steel exterior doors adorned with sunburst motifs, a marble countertop, eighteen counter stools, and wooden booths along the front wall creating an authentic vintage dining experience.

Built by the Worcester Lunch Car Company in 1949 as serial number 819 and delivered in March of that year, Wilson's Diner was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, recognizing its architectural significance and contribution to American diner history.

The diner has served as a community gathering place for decades, maintaining its role as a social hub where generations of families and workers have shared meals, stories, and built lasting connections within the local Waltham community.

Located at 507 Main Street along US Route 20 in Waltham, Massachusetts, Wilson's Diner continues to operate as a functioning restaurant serving traditional American comfort food including breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, and milkshakes with friendly service.

Wilson's Diner gained additional recognition when scenes from the 2022 television series Julia were filmed there, showcasing its authentic mid-century appearance and connecting it to contemporary American television history while maintaining its historic integrity.
