Here is what LoveFood had to say about this "old-school" spot:

"This all-American diner provides the ultimate nostalgic 1950s experience. Opened in 1957, the red and white striped eatery offers curbside service, delivering customers crispy yet juicy cheeseburgers, curly fries, onion rings, and cherry-topped milkshakes straight to their front seats. Go on the right day and you could also catch a vintage car show."
