Reviews
We went there twice over 3 days. Dinner the first time - we arrived at 530 and there were 3 other groups seated already 1 right before we arrived and then it quickly filled up. She promptly took our orders but it was a bit slow coming out. We ordered a Caesar side salad delicious, penned Alfredo tasty, large serving that we brought most of in a take away container, kids penned with butter and cheese - this wasn't very good as the noodles didn't seem cooked enough. Poutine was good, chicken Caesar wrap was enjoyed as was my BLT I asked for an added fried egg into the sandwich and it was really good. Some other reviewer said they were shorted on bacon, I had plenty and it was real bacon not the microwave type.I enjoyed the fries that were on the side too. The only real downside was the wait time to get the food, our takeaway Container and the bill - I attribute that to the lone waitress not having another person helping out as it was quick busy - waitress was great, just needed another one helping out so it wasn't all on her shoulders. Breakfast today, not as busy this morning, everything was pretty quick - only downside was there was no steak that hubby was hoping to order steak and eggs so he got the grand slam breakfast platter which he enjoyed. Two of us ordered French toast delicious! 1 plate of pancakes 3 HUGE! and a kids pancake 1 HUGE! with a sausage that we asked to change to bacon which was no problem. Wished all of the breakfast items were available all day.
Had mentioned to a friend how MUCH I wanted a burger. Shook off local chains to find a local comfort spot. I was not to be disappointed. My burger was loaded and tasted scrumptious. The poutine, first time trying, was right up my alley. To top it off, a vanilla milkshake. At the end of the meal, I ordered a pecan pie. When it came out, Shannon and another server had so preciously placed a candle on top and sang Happy Birthday to me which a couple of elderly patrons joined in. Talk about welling up in tears!! Thank you for an amazing meal and birthday memories!!
Nice spot... Heavy on the fifties theme as expected. Food was very good, portions were generous and prices were very reasonable. Looks like a popular spot with the locals too which is always a good sign!
I have been here several times without any issues. Last Sunday I brought my friend and my 3 kids for takeout. Once we got back and started eating my friend pulled something out of her mouth and was actually chewing on what looked like a name tag pin! While she was calling to tell the staff what happened I searched the food and found another one in a separate container of food! Over the phone the staff basically called us liars and kept stating they don’t have pins. Once being told they don’t have time to deal with us, the phone was passed off and we were told to come in so they could see what we were talking about. We drove the 20 minutes one way back to the restaurant and they took the food to the back. I could see all the staff basically saying they don’t have those pins so we were lying. I kept telling them we needed answers. My youngest child is two and could have easily swallowed it and no one would have noticed. My friend demanded at least a refund. One of the waitresses an older woman was literally laughing at us. The other waitress younger with glasses had no clue how to refund and kept swearing in front of my kids and telling us to shut up because she had no clue what she was doing. All staff refused to inform the manager/owner and did not give us their names. We didn’t get a single apology for what happened. My friend stated we should also be reimbursed for gas and some teenage boy came running out of the kitchen screaming at us to “have a nice drive back”. After how this entire situation was treated I contacted the police. I had taken a picture of the pins found in the food posted in the picture portion for this restaurant and the officer is the one who apologized and said the place has a bad reputation. News to anyone who does not live in the area! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE!!!!
4 star for service, true reason for 3 star because crispy wings we ordered were stale and taste like from very old frozen stock. Burgers and fries defiantly deserved 5 stars.
Was super disappointed. Went here based on reviews and was not satisfied. Nobody particularly enjoyed their meal, so I don't understand the hype. Anything we asked for was messed up somehow as well, ex. crispy bacon. Food was bland. Poor server was on her own and needed help. Would not return.
Can't say enough about this quaint diner. The inside is absolutely wonderful -- 50's style, true to it's name. Jonny Cash playing in the background, makes you want to get up and dance. The food was spectacular and the service was so friendly... Definitely a great place to stop. Wish it was closer to me, but will definitely be back!
I had the pancakes for reakfast and they were huge!!! The service was great and the staff did their best to accommodate as power had gone out south of them and North of them so they got people from everywhere!!
An absolutely wonderful restaurant. We received quick service, the food was delicious and large portions, the waitress was very friendly. And the decor was awesome.
A 50's themed diner along HWY-35 in Minden. Service was very friendly and quick to take my order. Burger made with a hand-made patty and a crunchy but soft bun, perfectly hit the spot. The atmosphere is clean and bright, with many 50's related nostalgia on the walls and around. A great experience, will stop in again.
