I would really like to give this place a good review because of its kitschy nostalgic decor and makes you feel like what it was like going to a diner back int he '50s. However, the staff in this place make sure you don't linger over an order of just coke or shake and fries for too long. As soon as you sit, they ask you what'd you'd to drink. I was here to try their phosphates -- homemade soda basically, but they did not give me the menu prior to asking what I would like to drink.
And if you order just water, they give you an attitude. Also, they'd want you to order as quickly as possible. As soon as you're handed the menu, they are right back before even you are done perusing or deciding on what to order. And as soon as you finish your meal, even though you're still drinking your soda or having your shake, they'd quickly drop the check onto your table. You don't have to time to enjoy your meal and fantasize on what it was like dining in the '50s. I mean what this is what this place is trying to sell -- that fantasy and decor and not the food.
I understand if they were busy and there are people waiting, but the place was almost empty when I was there. Staff didn't really give sh*t if you were there or not. They were giving each other disapproving looks whenever patrons would take time to place their order or have their meal. Food is overpriced ans portioned small and standard fast food quality. Have to give them credit for their phosphates and shakes though. You're better off getting take-out but then again the whole point of going to this place is to experience '50s dining, which they fail miserably and because of the staff's draconian attitude.
