This restaurant is a hidden gem. Welcome to Blast N2 The Past 50's Diner. Rest assured, you will not only be treated to retro decor and great people, but you will also find surprisingly good food too.
Hot Mama and I found that out when we went for lunch. My Harley Burger with fresh-cut fries looked legit with 2 hand-made patties with cheese, fried egg, sauteed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and red onion. Bursting with natural juices, the burger patties were well-seasoned and meaty. Not greasy while delicately crisp, the fresh-cut fries were on point.  Hot Mama had the Turkey Clubhouse on whole wheat. This clubhouse one was constructed nicely with plenty of real turkey, crisp lean bacon and fresh produce.
On another visit with Devo, there was nothing on the menu that could convince him to eat anything but the Bacon Poutine, which was a really well-executed. There was loads of legit cheese curds as well as meaty bacon. I had the Horn Dog consisting of a foot long wiener wrapped in bacon with cheddar, mustard and relish. Unfortunately, the fatty piece of bacon was not rendered enough. I would've either preferred crispy bacon bits or deep-fry it instead. This came with the same awesome side of fries. The food here is not complex, but at the same time, it is generally well-made.
