Been here plenty of times and food is usually spot on. Unfortunately today, I ordered a broccoli burger that was super soggy and dried out along with soggy tasteless fries. So disappointing.

Cozy diner. Food is good and fresh. Staff is friendly. Burger challenge ✔️ variety of burger, sandwich and hot meals to choose from. You'll enjoy the "Take me back to the 50's" decor. Their shakes are on point. Bathrooms clean.Parking: Few right squeezes in the front but drive around back, much easier to park.

Grilled cheese burgers and the fries were really good. I had a root beer float with vanilla ice cream. It was good, but didn't match the high quality of the meal. They would put it over the top of they step up the ice cream brand. Service was good and diner atmosphere was fun.

As a person with food allergies we had a few questions about ingredients in their burgers as well as the buns. Purposely waiting to call between lunch and dinner. When the phone was answered, and after explaining the situation; without hesitation, the very quick answer was, "Oh, yeah all our breads contains soy as well as any breading we use." As I was in the middle of asking if it was soy oil or flour, I was interrupted with "everything has soy flour in it." Very disappointing!

We ate here last night. I wasn't sure about the place but the hostess was welcoming and friendly; so, we stayed. The menu was impressive and food was good but our server, who I believe is also a manager, wasn't great. I don't know if he was having issues or what but it seemed like he was unnecessarily picking on the hostess who was doing her job. I liked the nostalgic atmosphere but was bothered by our server's attitude.

Fun 50s style diner with quirky decor. Not the largest place so expect a bit of a wait but it's worth it. A few arcade games in the lobby pass to pass the time. The place was very busy for a reason. Whitty posters throughout along with photos of gluttons who completed their burger challenge. Larger menu with an extensive selection of burgers. All the classic fried and grilled goodness. Service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a fun meal that won't break the bank.Vegetarian options: Burger placeParking: Wrap around parking lot that fills upKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with fun decor, arcade games and, food options

Update: we stopped in for a late lunch on 4.7. Bit of a disappointment. ($100 spent) The first time here was outstanding, today the fries were very soggy and greasy, onion rings were the same, greasy and soggy. The french dip , some parts of the meat you couldn't even bite through. Ordered a small salad last time and a large this time, bigger plate but same amount of food for $3 more. The chicken in the salad tasted like it was cooked with burgers, on a dirty grill. Such a let down, we won't be back.Food was good and large portion sizes. LOTS to choose from on the menu. Sam was our waitress and she was very friendly, knowledable of the menu and just over all great. Also I appreciate that fact that they have gluten free burger buns and the option for vegan shakes.They also have a seperate fryer for gluten free fries.Only complaint is that we ordered a medium to medium rare burger and the cook was off, half was over cooked and the other half of the burger was medium.

Atlanta, GA native here. I was up here for Tougefest and had to find myself a bite to eat. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the nostalgic decor and atmosphere. Classic 50s style diner that serves amazing burgers. I ordered the 11oz Rueban burger with onion rings. Patty was delicious and flavorful. The corned beef was also very flavorful and was a bit crispy. It went perfectly with the sauerkraut and thousand island dressing. The onion rings were big, crispy and very flavorful batter as well. This place has some of the best burgers I've had in years. I can't wait for the next time I come to town!
