The diner wins the inaugural "Best Of" contest on Newton Patch.
Rox Diner may be one of the new kids in town, but its sandwiches have won over the locals already. In Newton Patch's inaugural "Best Of" contest, 75 voters had cast their ballots when the poll closed at 9 a.m., and those votes helped decide the best sandwich maker in town. The winner?
