Editorial Review

Spit-polished, silver bullet 1940s trailer-turned-diner rises above the cliché while delivering on every Hollywood-inspired expectation: charming bleary-eyed servers, swiveling stools and groovy booths lined primly in a row. Recession-era prices for mammoth portions of ‘Merican staples like country fried steak and half smokes. 3 AM  deadheads flee the party on H Street to find solace/sobriety in plate of pancakes. Down home good times makes you miss grandpa, long for a souvenir ketchup stain on your collar.
