The Hampton Diner is one of our usual haunts, and last night it did not disappoint. It's a big diner near a newly developed tract of land on the outskirts of Newton. It has nice decor, and is very neat and clean on the inside. The bathrooms are especially fancy, with marble walls, and handpainted art on the ceiling.
We arrived and were seated promptly in a small booth. The waiter came almost immediately to take our drink orders, which were quickly filled. She then left us for about 10 minutes, which luckily was just as long as we needed to decide what we wanted. The order:
1 "Gyro Deluxe"
1 egg and cheese sandwich
The gyro was a little on the expensive side ($7.50), and made with beef. Then again, I haven't been to a diner in years that serves authentic lamb gyro. It came with fries, at least. There was a decent amount of tzatziki sauce too, something most diners usually skimp on. Other toppings include just lettuce and tomato. They also offer a special gyro platter for $8-something which includes olives and Feta cheese and the whole works.
The egg and cheese was about $3 and came with, well, egg and cheese on a hard roll. The better half of DM told me it was pretty good.
Total with drinks (just a soda) came to $14 before tax, not too bad.
Rating:
4/5 Cyclops approve.
