Trippy dinner. Decor is throwback to the heady days of the 1960s with notes to the 1950s. Elvis, John Wayne, Scar (from the original Lion King), and the Virgin Mary all decorate the teal and purple walls under a tin ceiling.
Lighting is handled by circular chandeliers with shaded glass chimneys. Very cowboy-esque.
I was in for breakfast, keeping it simple with 2 eggs, sausage links, toast, and hashbrowns.
The sausage was classic pork and sage with a natural casing. Two eggs sunny side up, cooked beautifully by today's standards of absolutely no color on the eggs. Toast was great with completely melted butter.
The home fries were mixed. All they were, were some cubed potatoes cooked and given color by some paprika. Perfect home fries had crisp edges and fluffy interiors, along with some carmelized onion and sauteed peppers. Very, very few restaurants or diners make them correctly anymore. Pity.

Also tried the hot dog with homemade meat sauce and onions which was reasonably priced and had a wonderful tasty sauce that was dry enough to not run down my hand...a plus for me. The waitress was very accommodating since I was working and sat me in the back room away from the door and even turned an extra light on without my asking when the clouds rolled in. Had to try the made in house "cream puff", which was not a cream puff, but when something is this yummy they can call it whatever they like! Crispy pastry with a warm cream center served topped with berries of your choice and whipped cream...wish I had taken a picture. Super glad I stopped in to get some work done...mission accomplished and a super experience to boot. ...

Saturday morning was very busy, but food was prepared quickly. The owner is hands-on and treats everyone as friends. Service is attentive but not suffocating. We were pleased with the check amount.
The diner is 50s Era in the front with a counter and booths for seating and a juke box in the corner. The extension room has more generously sized booths and an area for a larger group, so if you have more than four is your group you should call ahead to be sure you can be seated together. One entrance has a ramp, and a wheelchair fits in the bathroom, but the tables a w/c can be accommodated are in the aforementioned large group area, so again, I recommend calling ahead for seating with...
