Back To the 50S

For as long as I have been in the Doylestown area (living and working), and the amount of times I have driven by, it took me until just last weekend to finally stop in for breakfast.  Not a bad place, a cluttered 50's theme diner with good eats.  Omelettes were large and quite delicious.  I was looking forward to the Jalapeno toast but they were out when we were there.  Coffee was decent.  If your in the mood for typical diner fare in a unique environment, then this is worth a stop.  I can now check it off my list after 7 years.

Real bad attitude. Ignorant. I will not be back and will let others know.

We happened upon this place on the way to Peddler's Village, it's not easy to miss - the building is bright pink. The decor lived up to the diner's name. Lots of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis memorabilia , as well as interesting table decor (a newspaper that contained a tear from a newspaper in the 50's, with house prices of $15,000 - I wish!). The diner was small and it was packed tight on the Saturday morning we were there.

Service was good. Our coffee was kept full and the waitress took our drink and food orders in good time. Menu selection was great. We stopped in around 945a, but my daughter was hungry for lunch. Breakfast and lunch are served all day, so she was able to order "The Elvis" - which was a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich (yummy!).

I deduct points because I wasn't all that impressed with the food. It's typical diner fair, but very pricey. Perhaps my expectations were a bit higher since I was paying just under $10 for an omelet. I ordered the south-western omelet. It was large with a small serving of potatoes and toast. My omelet could have used more flavor - when I think of SW I think of spice and pronounced flavor. Didn't get that with this omelet.

Overall, it wasn't a bad time but for $40 for 3 people to eat (one being a child), I think we could have found better elsewhere.
