Worth waiting for, the line moves fast. Service is quick and thorough, the food is perfect and almost always had to take a box for leftovers. They serve beer and wine as well as milkshakes and great diner food, breakfast, lunch and dinner all day. The atmosphere is full of 50's memorabilia that's really fun to look at.

Very interesting looking diner. The vibe is very good and the staff are friendly. The place is well decorated.

The food is good and decently priced. It'd say it's a good place to experience if you're in the area.

Be aware there is a 5% mandatory employee health benefit upcharge so I didn't end up giving much or any tip st all. I highly disagree with this absurd charge. Pay your employees accordingly.
