| - I wouldn't consider this a "diner" by east coast standards (not 24 hours, limited menu), but since movIng here, I've learned to make due with what's available. For what it is, Shari's is one of my favorite cheap and quick options.
The burgers are huge, greasy and to die for. I've never had a better Western burger, ever. I'd love to figure out how to eat more than a third of it at a time, but after inhaling a chocolate malted and a side of their homemade chips, I'm pretty much done. They actually have a feta burger (with bacon and fresh spinach, no less!) with a respectable amount of cheese on it. I'm dying to try the Ortega chile burger (next time?), with pepper jack and chiles on sourdough.
I don't care about the decor or the so-called Christian vibe (which I haven't really noticed). In fact, I find the whole 50's thing sort of annoying. I'm here for the food! Shakes and burgers for two- under 40 bucks with tip. Can it be done for less elsewhere? Probably, but the quality of the ingredients supports the price. Still a great deal in my book. This isn't "fine dining", but if you are looking for a burger or a quick breakfast with coffee shop expectations, you won't be disappointed.
