The Scene – Black and white checkered floor, chrome accented counters and real soda fountains fill the two-tiered dining room, with a shiny, vintage corvette on display in the center. Waitresses don huge wigs and display impressive pin collections on their aprons, and their colorful personalities are exaggerated during impromptu song-and-dance routines whenever Rock Around The Clock cranks on the juke box. – – The Food – In classic 1950s diner style, every burger is named for a pretty lady and the milkshake section is the longest on the menu.

Very authentic diner feel It

by BettsyL at Citysearch

If you are looking for one of those old-school diners that has an authentic feel, look, and food and this is the place for you. The food is definitely not the healthiest but the burgers and milkshakes are out of this world!

interestingly fun.

by TerraLikeWhoa at Citysearch

besides the fried pickles, the food isn't much to rave about. its hard to get a refill and the atmosphere was a little overwhelming. a great place to go if you're taking the kids out...or if you've had a few shots beforehand.

  • Cons: parking . and the servers seem to be given too large of stations to cover.
