Ok fun! The food is so yummy. Think of an old-time diner soda fountain. Nostalgic atmosphere with retro and vintage photos and memorabilia of a bygone era. Jukeboxes are on dining tables as well as a big one in the dining room. Coin operated and so much fun! Diner style comfort food. I had chicken fried chicken along with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. It tasted like Sunday dinner at grandma's. The Rueben sandwich with corned beef and sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing on grilled marbled rye did not disappoint. A seafood platter done with beer battered fried fish and coconut shrimp was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. A whole hog skillet is a favorite of my daughter in law and she loved all the fixins'. Ham bacon and sausage all together with cheese and onions and garnished with sour cream. The burgers are huge and the fries are awesome Idaho specialties. Idaho nachos with ground beef and onions and cheese topped with Pico de gaio and sour cream was a great appetizer. There are awesome desserts including ice cream favorites such as shakes and sundaes along with cakes and pies. Fun for a date or family dinner. We will return. I highly recommend it.

I had a wonderful breakfast here and really enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious and well prepared, and the entire staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Another thing I appreciated was the ample parking, which makes visiting the restaurant very convenient. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good breakfast and excellent service. The next time I’m in town, I’ll be coming back for breakfast here!

So where should I start? So the capture of the 50's aspect is pretty good, as someone who isnt from the 50's I would say that it was pretty good, at almost all tables there are optional old radios there for you to play a song from the sets they have, whether they actually work i wouldnt know since we sat in the Elvis corner which doesnt have one. Food: The food was pretty good, i personally got a advocado burger (i know very idaho lol) the outside was cooked to gray, middle was the perfect amount of pink. Only complaint I have about it is that on the bacon they put a bit much of salt onto it than what we are used too but thats just a personal thing. Dill pickles, they were good i would say very big and i ate 3 of them and one of then didnt really have any dill taste, what i would recommend is adding just a bit more taste towards those. Mozzarella sticks, they may have been small however were very good and the sauce was good as well. Both of my parents liked theres, however their only complains was the meal felt a bit, simple compared to how the atmosphere was. My oter complaint is the fry serving size was a bit small, however the size of the burger definitely made up for it. Sauces: Only complaint for the sauces is that there fry sauce was just regular fry sauce no like secret thing in it (i come from a place where we have a lot of different secret fry sauces. Ranch was amazing. Atmosphere: It was pretty good, looks pretty much what i would expect a 50's diner to look, id said very very like too much into only one color theme. Complaints: I think my only like main complaint is that the regular tables were a bit small and mainly only meant for like one person sitting on each side, otherwise there isnt any actual complaints about anything else and it could just be use being on the bigger size of people (most of my family was from the heights of 5'9 to 6'5 is what i mean by that aspect.

This was my first visit and brought a friend Germany. And what a great Diner for breakfast! I recommend the Eggs Benedict with sourdough toast!! Amazing flavor and also filling! The strawberry pancakes are also very good! The service was 5 stars even though they were VERY busy. Also clean with a fun old school Diner atmosphere. Prices were also very reasonable. Try them out, you won't be disappointed!
