Although it is now closed, this was a fantastic place to take lunch. I frequently did. The old-style soda fountain and excellent sandwiches and fries were awesome.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone buy this adorable Diner and get it back open!!!!!! Never have I seen such a beautiful collection of memorabilia and it is displayed spectacularly!!!! I can imagine waitresses running around in poodle skirts with saddle shoes taking orders. It would be a perfect place for ladies and mens groups to gather and meet. Also, what a great NEW and different idea for a child's birthday party. I'm praying the right buyer comes along, and that they also appreciate the importance of preserving our history (like the current owner) :) . Who remembers going to a soda fountain? My father took me to one when I was child in the Appalachian town in eastern Kentucky where he grew up. What a memory! This place is MADE for remembering history and making memories. :) Praying it sells to the perfect BUYER.

Went speciifcally to this Cafe because of the novelty of it with the Coke Cola Museum and Old Time 50's Diner effect. Had a friend up that has been collecting Coke stuff for probably 50 years so we had to go ... it lived up to the hype. The walls are covered with old vintage Coke bottles, cans, coolers, bottle caps, crates, trucks, etc. They also have an old style phone booth and 50's style Soda Fountain counter with stools and booths.We had already eaten lunch somewhere else so we just came here for dessert. Coke, Root Beer Floats, Malts, Sundaes. They do have a good assortment of these to go around but they also have some basic 50's Diner type sandwiches, chips, and fries type stuff too. Watch out for the Sundaes though ... the scoops of ice cream are very big. Most of the Sundaes listed are 3 scoop sundaes but you can get 1 and 2 scoop versions. The one in my pictures is a ONE (1) scoop sundae which is under $4 and heaped with fudge and whipped cream.Great time had by all. The novelty and combination of portion size and great prices on ice cream Sundaes pushed this place from and average 3 star to a 4 star.

This cute little diner is a place that is frozen in time. Even the staff here have a nostalgic approach to customer service. The desserts are worth the trip alone!

I love the atmosphere. The music was perfect. Their fountain soda is huge and their food is delicious. I believe the price was on the high side, if it was just the food. But, when you go their you also receive an experience. That being said, yes it was fairly priced.

Fist time in this cute little diner over the weekend. The food and atmosphere were great and the staff was friendly and made us feel right at home.....especially Bill. Bill made our experience there worth the 45 min drive from our cabin. Thanks bunches, from the 4 sparkling eyed ladies on their girls weekend.

This was a great surprise , we were on a road trip around Michigan and looking actually for a breakfast place and ended up here (they don’t have breakfast thou) ... The fountain soda is so good that we had to add on our route back home as a stop! Amazing service, outstanding milkshakes and good burgers..!
