The Bacon burger was good, plus the waiter was very nice. Very good service, plus the diner is a throwback to another era. Really cool.read more

The Scene
Cafe 50s is smartly attired in red vinyl, white formica, and chrome. The walls are plastered over with B-movie posters and ads of a bygone era, including a ''More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette!'' advertisement. A quarter buys three tunes on the 1957 Seeburg jukebox loaded with oldies hits by the Big Bopper, Patsy Cline and Chuck Berry.
The Food
Since this is a diner, the sizzling burgers, crispy fries, and thick shakes are tried and true. It is not, however, a deli, a chophouse or a French restaurant. So stay far, far away from anything involving cold cuts, steak or sauteed spinach. The soda fountain is unparalleled and replete with classics from egg creams to vanilla Cokes. Have a Norman Rockwell moment sipping any one of the three dozen heavenly milkshakes. The chocolate-chip cookie shake is a startlingly spot-on liquid version of the baked good, and the very cherry bursts with maraschino.
