A great experience for the tourist, good menu, good food cooked in an open kitchen. Please note if you are watching the waistline, avoid this place!

A good themed diner, themed in a 60's style. Burgers are great and the prices are very reasonable. The staff were very helpful, even though they were extremely busy. Worth a visit for a quick meal. More
