Andy's Diner is Offbeat and Appealing

Here ye, here ye:
Andy's Diner. Wow.
This place has so much character it came very close to blindsiding me or causing an aneurism...it may have done both.
The restaurant is made up of multiple old train cars fused together to create seemless interiors of booths, with a few separate one off rooms and a shadowy bar in the back. The home made sign upon walking in states 'Everyone is special at Andy's Diner' and something about the physical building, lighting and overall ambiance assured me it was true. The service was friendly and sociable; constantly playing with the train horn and offering to show us around. My turkey, bacon & swiss wasn't particularly life changing but was pretty tasty. Regular prices - it looks like the breakfast menu was pretty cheap.
Super great place for families or people who steadfastly act like they're 8.
UPDATE: This restaurant is not open on Sundays. Don't go on Sundays. One more time for good measure. Don't drive to the middle of industrial Seattle on a Sunday morning when you're really hungry. No good will come of it.
