[edit] History
Becky's Diner opened in 1991 with an exception to the city's zoning laws prohibiting non-fishery businesses in the location. Owner Becky Rand, a mother of six, argued that fishermen needed a place to eat before and after work, which was lacking because of their unusual hours.
After several years after opening, her success allowed for new hours to be added during the middle of the night on weekends. In 1995, Becky's added a dinner menu.
[edit] Cuisine
The diner is best known for its breakfast choices, but also has what's considered an inexpensive dinner menu heavy on seafood.
