A 1955 Muntz Television playing “I Love Lucy” and “The Honeymooners” in the background. B-movie posters on the walls. A case full of sports trophies, yearbooks and political Cold War era newspapers. Want to know what it was like in the ‘50s or revisit the decade? Then this is the place for you.

You can choose a stool at the lunch counter or slide on in to a vintage booth by the window while you sing along to your favorite song playing on the jukebox. And while you’ll probably be on sensory overload for the first few minutes, don’t forget about all of the great food waiting to be cooked up.

The menu offers all the hamburgers, sandwiches and breakfast items a diner could want, so you’ll be sure to find what you’re looking for. But you must leave room for dessert. With more classic shakes and sweet treats than a person could imagine, it would be a crime not to order something.
