  Food was bland; atmosphere tried, but fell short. Hard to re-create diner feel in a strip mall.

  A group of co-workers and I stopped by for lunch.  We had been wanting to try it for a while and finally made it in and we will definitely be back.  
  
  The service was quick, the food was great and the decor is pretty cool.  The menu is great.  I recommend the Patty Melt  (which comes with fries).  
  
  There was a decent lunch crowd, so I think the diner is starting to find a following.  There is a lot of tradition behind the diner (The owners are family of Willie's and Sharon's Diner owners).  I do think that they don't need to rely on their history to bring people in, just keep serving good food, fast and hot!!!
  
  We'll be back soon!!

  Located in a strip mall near the campus of IPFW, the outside of Chrome Plated Diner looks unassuming.  However, inside the doors you see all red, black, gray, and silver.  They have the 50's and 60's diner-style counter and chairs, with records and old product logos on the walls.  No neon lights or a jukebox, but hey, there is still plenty of nostalgia here.  I am positive they were playing a Little Richard song when I walked into the restaurant, and heard some great 50's and 60's tunes throughout our breakfast.
  
  Chrome Plated Diner is a great place for breakfast or lunch.  Their menu selections are cheap and plentiful.  On the breakfast side, they offer omelets, skillets, a wonderful eggs benedict with sausage gravy (they also offer it with Hollandaise, but I can't resist many things with gravy), and your typical pancakes/waffle selection.  I had their hash browns with benedict, and they were tasty and a little crisp (which is how they should be, in my little world).  For lunch, they offer hamburgers, sandwiches, and the like, but I didn't try any of those.
  
  Prices are very reasonable here.  For two breakfasts with coffee, we spent less than $15 and definitely left here full.  Their lunch prices appeared to be around the same price.  Service was friendly and attentive.  They also have some information on the family who owns this place, and the two other diners they own in town as well.  It's always nice to know that I am supporting a local business owner.
  
  For great prices, good food, and a piece of nostalgia in the Fort, I would definitely recommend this place.
