Brown's Diner

More of a burgers-and-beer joint than a diner — many locals swear by the cheeseburger — circa-1927 Brown’s Diner isn’t much to look at despite its address adjoining trendy Hillsboro Village. Not that Brown’s faithful clientele minds. Some of the wait staff have been around long enough to have served multiple generations from the short but oh-so-sweet menu, which offers burgers, various simple sandwiches, chili, and a few sides, at bargain prices. Kid-friendly in the back room, definitely not so in the front room. There’s live music in the front room some nights.

Beer available. Serving lunch and dinner 11 am-11 pm Tue-Fri, 11 am-10 pm Sat-Mon.
