There have been a lot of immitators trying to recreate the old 1930s era burger and malt shop but this is a real hang over from the time. Not much has changed as even the signage above the grill is of the hand painted type face, yellow and brown, barking out the dash and manner for you to ENJOY! and EAT! with great aplomb.
The chocolate, caramel, and banana malts ($4.00) are thick lumpy and poured from a tin malt canaster by your waitress and the can frosts up while you make room in the fluted glass with your straw. But be careful, you might bust a vein in your neck when the straw clogs and it might be better to eat it with a spoon for its thickness. The french frieds are golden crisp and hand cut potatoes ($2.00) and heaping. And the burgers and the true diner-style, sizzling hot of the grill ($6.00 and up). On a fall or winter nights it warms the heart.
