Fenders Diner

In town for business and found this gem!  Awesome diner with real homemade cooking!  I had the Monday special, meatloaf; just like moms.  Couldn't resist ordering the coconut cake for desert; fresh and moist.  Friendly staff, very clean restaurant and great prices!

This is a really cute little place. As other reviewers mentioned, it has a 50s theme tho the music was from contemporary to oldies, which was a little incongruent but not the end of the world.
I ordered the fried green tomatoes which were excellent. Best I've ever had. Then I had the patty melt with fries. The patty melt came with caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms with Swiss. The burger patty was a thick, good quality, no nonsense burger - pretty good. It was served on a Texas toast style thick cut white bread...I thought patty mets were served on rye? But, that was ok. The burger would have been excellent had they salted it a bit during cooking. I'm not a heavy salter and very rarely add salt after cooking, but the burger and the fries came tasting like they had not been salted at all during or after cooking, leaving the food tasting bland and flavorless. It was mush better after a sprinkle of salt was added. Great for those of you watching your sodium intake.
The coconut cake was shared for dessert and was very tasty.
The service was excellent, friendly and fast. We had fun!

Just a very good, clean, well run place.  Go there often for lunch, and food is always very well prepared, and service is always great.  Very consistent in quality and service.  Definitely recommend the Big Bopper burger and turkey and dressing on Thursdays.  Usually take out of town business guests for a taste of local cooking and they always love the food and atmosphere.
