| - On the one hand, Punchy's is old school. As you pull up, there are often people in the lot getting ready for some sort of gathering or another. We saw several cars that looked as if they would be at home in just about any car show, and there were a bunch of folks pulling up lawn chairs to gather around and watch them. This is to say nothing of the gallery of what can only be described as restored toys, which would have prices that only adults can afford if they were actually to be sold. That alone makes it worth a stop.
But on the other hand, the place itself is much newer than your old diner - the building is new, the floors are new, even the equipment looks new. This is not an old place that has been there for years. Or perhaps it is, and it has been retrofitted time and time again to keep up with the times.
The menu generally fits more with the old, as you will not see anything fancy on it - instead, you get some sandwiches and a few plates, nothing surprising. Mostly the prices stay in line as well. Service goes with the theme, too, which is nice. About the only thing that was a little disappointing was that when we asked if their Cherry Lemon Sun Drop was made in house or if it was from the fountain, they said they made it.
Truth be told, they do - but they make it by adding a cherry drink to Sun Drop, and plopping a lemon into it, which while true, is a bit different than you might get if you go to other locations in the area. Just something to know in advance!
