Remember Carroll's Diner?

The new Carroll's that is readying for a spring opening is bringing back old memories.

 

As the Carroll family continues work to open its new restaurant on Main Street in Medford Square, seeing its logo is bringing back a lot of memories for Medford residents.

Do you remember the old Carroll's? Share your memory in the comments section. Got a photo? Upload it directly to this article or email it to jarret.bencks@patch.com.

So far, we've heard lots of feedback from readers. Here's a few comments we've received on articles about Carroll's (Check out the sign in the video to the right. Look familiar? Thanks to Jim Morse for the link):

My Dad was friends with Maury Sr. & Jack Carroll. I was a baby and my Dad would take me in there on weekends and the waitress Mary would spoil me! Then fast forward to College years and I worked there on the weekends...My Dad became one of the Managers there when he sold our restaurant....Then 2 years later I had my wedding reception there!!!! So boy do I remember Carrolls....I should have my initials under one of the tables...lol -Jeanmarie Martin

Yea! My high school class had an event at Carroll's. So long ago. I'm not in Medford anymore but I will definitely visit Carroll's just for memories sake. It's a taste of home and a great memory. -Heidi Dietrich

My mother worked at the original Carroll's for years. I can't wait to take her to the new place! -Bob Russo

I worked at Carroll's years ago while in college. I was excited to hear that the restaurant will be opening soon in Medford. I'd love to work there again...nice family and great menu. I hope they offer their house dressing--it was delicious!! -Leslie Macone

I believe my wedding reception was the last one held there on October 17, 1981.

Have any photos from your reception you'd be willing to share with us? It would be great to see them and get more folks reminiscing. You can click the green "upload photos and videos" button underneath the picture to add them yourself, or email them to me at kasey.hariman@patch.com if you have any trouble getting them up. Thanks for commenting, either way!

Oh boy they are packed away in boxes someplace. Back then we had no digital pics.

I hear that! Well, if you ever get a hold of them and a scanner, feel free to add them or drop me a line, but otherwise have a great weekend, and thanks for starting the conversation on this article!
