Stopped in for lunch and were pleased with what we had.
We ordered two horseshoe style lunch plates, one turkey and one hamburger with sides.
The diner is located inside a converted quonset hut from World War II, but the inside is decorated with lots of route 66 and 1950s stuff.

I have eaten there a couple of times and didn't think the food could taste any nastier but I was wrong when I ordered something that they called home made hash. I couldn't even swallow it. The waitress said that everyone just loved it (����) and replaced it with some eggs - potatoes - ham and toast but I couldn't get the nasty taste of the hash out of my mouth. So that's 2 strikes and I'm not giving them another chance. I don't think that my stomach can handle it for a 3rd time. They are just riding on the novelty of the place.

We ate there yesterday, the food was very good except for the "fish and chips". One of us didn't like the chips, too hard. Would like potato salad instead. Good service.

Great diner. Great food. Good prices. What more do you need?
