5 /5 Daniel Kim: What started as just a quick stop for food on a long journey, ended as perhaps one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time.
Starting with the decor. Being a car guy, it was so awesome and cool to see all the vintage signs and items all over. Even more, despite all the vintage and antique items, the floors, walls, and tables were still clean and well maintained, with no "antique store" smell.
The food was delicious. When I go to diners like these, I tend to get a standard cheeseburger. A good baseline benchmark. The burger was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and full of that savory ground beef flavor. Juicy and moist, but not dripping with grease. The perfectly balanced fat ratio. The burger was constructed with perfect portions as well, that I was able to eat from the first bite to last without the entire thing falling apart. The steak fries were also amazing. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the outside, no overly greasy flavor. I can very tell this kitchen does a great job managing their grease and oils, and it shows through the food.
Lastly, the absolute cherry on top for my experience was Amy. From the get-go, highly enthusiastic, smiles and warm welcomes. What caught me off guard was how she approached an elderly gentleman dining by himself, and struck up conversation. That is customer service and pure genuine friendliness beyond anything Ive ever seen. Despite, she was still quick and efficient to her duties - check on our table, bus plates, and run food, cards. She even was able to answer our question regarding the vintage gas pumps outside. The world needs more Amys.
A hidden gem, someplace Ill always stop on future journeys.
