Penny Hill Shoppe — Restaurant in Union City

Penny Hill is a great little 50s diner in the middle of the small town of Union City. This diner has an excellent 50s ora to it with pictures of welcome and James Dean. The map of old time map of Union City inside the entrance is a cool little touch. Inside you order at the counter then sit down. There's a great selection of delicious sandwiches and burgers, ice cream and milk shakes, and desserts. I ended up getting the stuffed tomato (never had that before) with chicken salad. They use a beautiful fresh Ripley tomato with a large scoop of tuna salad or chicken salad on top. The whole meal was excellent!! My co-worker had an Italian beef. While not authorities to Chicago, the flavor was excellent!! We both really enjoyed our meals. I've also had the Chicago dog here and they were not Chicago authentic but really good flavor.

A pleasant stop with an appealing aesthetic. I would go again, even to just get a malt or milkshake. Maybe preferably just for a...

My husband and I stopped by Penny Hill while on a bike ride. The staff were friendly and took time to talk with us about the town and our adventures. Not only was the menu diverse, but several options could be modified to become vegan dishes, which the staff did without complaint. The waitress even suggested that we try our sweet potato fries with honey (my husband thought that was a winner).

Overall, a great experience. I am so glad we decided to take a detour on our ride; my only regret is that Penny Hill is not closer...
