Legendary Morris County Diner Abruptly Closes Its Doors

The Budd Lake Diner on Route 46 West has closed permanently after nearly 40 years in operation, with current ownership announcing the shutdown Tuesday night just moments after closing for the day. No reason was given for the abrupt closure, though regulars are flooding social media with fond memories and more than a little heartbreak over the loss of those wraps and milkshakes.
