Former 1950's themed diner, closed in 2000 after nearly ten years of sagging business. Gimmicky, waitresses skated on old-style four-wheel skates, singing, dancing - was a lot like Ed Debevic's restaurant, but with less class. Ended up with waitresses wearing rollerblades, not singing, with abrasive music eminating from the kitchen.

  • I worked here for 2.5+ yrs - one of the greatest, most fun jobs I ever had! I was there from July, 1988 - May, 1991. People used to wait up to 90 mins for a table. I stopped there several times after I left, and YES, the service and excitement of the place was headed downhill. I feel very fortunate to have had such a great job which led me into several other "careers". Lots of Fun!!
  • I remember you, Colin, Big E, Super Dave, Sparky, Fish, Judge.....
  • As teens in the 80's and early 90's we loved going here!!!! Would be great for kids these days to have the option of such a fun restaurant again!
