They closed 45 minutes early. Who knows if it’s good or not.

Came for the Chocola, but the food was awesome.
The owner was cooking when we were there and we had a conversation with him about his business and how he came to aquire the Chocola brand.
The Double Wide was a huge helping of breakfast food smothered in white gravy and if I'm ever in the area, I'll grab one again.

Absolutely no complaints at all! Small town America diner atmosphere right on the edge of the city.

Have been here twice now, service is great - atmosphere is very home-y. For any history enthusiasts it's nice to stop by even just to look at the decorations I think. Food is great had French toast one day and waffles another. Their French toast is made a bit soft (I like firmer toasts) so I had a better time with their waffles. Dad had biscuits and gravy. Wonderful breakfast spot if you are in the area.

Parking: The parking lot is a bit small, but it's to be expected for a small building. It can fill up fast some days.

This used to be a good place to go to, but now the waitresses are very freaking rude, It’s over priced and it’s just bad bad service there. They act like they don’t want to be there. It used to be easy instead of making breakfast at home to go there and spend $20 for three or four people to eat now I just paid $20 for four pancakes. Seriously the cheapest thing on earth to make is pancakes, but you’re gonna charge me $20 for four of them. I’ll never go back to this place again and I used to spend a lot of money here.

Not bad, but not great either. French toast was really good, but the hash browns were really thin and very greasy. Didn’t have lemon for water. Service was ok. All prices in the menu have been swiped out with permanent marker.

Even though the food is mediocre at best, this diner is like a time capsule with so much character and pizazz that you need to try it at least once. They have queer icon James Dean all over the walls and I think that's neat!

The choc-ola is like a yoohoo, just a little smoother because they use real milk (they told me). It's fine. A lot of the prices are a little high (a piddly portion of frozen fries for like, $3 and drinks were like $3 each). It racked up so fast. Don't get the breaded tenderloin.

Service was great, super kind people and very fast despite every booth packed when we went. If you just finished watching the Fallout tv show on Amazon, this will feel perfect for lunch.

We were looking for breakfast late on a Sunday and this place popped up in my search so I thought I’d give it a try. I placed a to go order over the phone. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich with home fries and smoke sausage egg and cheese sandwich with hash-browns. Total was about $25. Upon arrival I almost missed it because it didn’t look how I thought it would. Took about 15 minutes and cashier was friendly Food was tasty, I plan to revisit to try something else

This little mom and pop diner is amazing! The owners are right there to make your food, chat, and make everyone feel comfortable. The decor is very cool, and I love the ceiling! I won't spoil it for you but when you go in, look up!

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, it was one of the only places nearby where we were. It was easy to miss because it's in an old run down building, we wouldn't have found it if not for the GPS.
It's a 50s themed diner but it is very dark inside and not well kept. It's very dingy looking and could use some better lights and a deep clean especially on the customer facing side.
Food was pretty decent, it was hot and made to order and my husband's club had very fresh produce on it. It was only lacking a little bit of seasoning I asked for a side of mayo and got miracle whip though, wasn't a fan of that.
They advertise their chocola which is just a chocolate milk brand.
Service was fine, she was nice enough.

Vintage for sure but also could use a dusting. Service was average. Food was served relatively fast. Flavor was good but would have been a lot better if used real cheese ? not vegetable oil cheese. But overall a decent experience. 58 dollar's for 5 people to eat.
