A very fun little spot, open 24 hours. 5 & Diner is a 1950's style diner, complete with juke boxes at the booths and hula hoops on the patio. The menu is basic, but isn't that what it should be if you're going to fully embrace the fifties? The food is not always spectacular, but it's usually more than solid enough given the restaurant's other merits. Just think. You can have breakfast at midnight and ice cream for breakfast if you'd like. I'm not recommending it. Just saying.
The restaurant is very kid friendly (paper hats and crayons). I can't imagine a child who would not enjoy sitting up at the counter. The patio is also dog friendly (water and biscuits).
