There are fewer and fewer of them every day.......2nd Mustang said:Good old eggs and hash brown breakfast, burgers with heaping serving of fries, pie ala modes, hot turkey sandwiches, coffee, and a place to sit and shoot the bull! I don't mean the Golden Arches, Le Jack in le Box, or Burger King either!

Uh, could be a symptom of the area where you live... Southern California is notorious for its pop culture corporate Hollywood "fabulousness". Hell, even here in the home of Starsucks, Seattle, there are plenty of diner/coffee shop type places. If you ever get up this way, stop by Beth's on Aurora... it's a Seattle institution... a complete hole that serves 12 egg omlettes and bottomless hashbrowns and you can have a decent breakfast for under $6, which is a decent deal in Seattle. If you don't like smoke and grease, stay out.2nd Mustang said:Good old eggs and hash brown breakfast, burgers with heaping serving of fries, pie ala modes, hot turkey sandwiches, coffee, and a place to sit and shoot the bull!

Denny's is the only one left, and I really don't like their food, taste too much like cardboard, not to mention this particular Denny's service is oh so slow.
But isn't that part of the "charm"? It is a complete hole, dingy, if not downright dirty, and completely invisible unless you're looking for it. What I can't believe is that there is a freaking long line if you go after 9am. We used to actually prefer the Aurora Restaurant before they got rid of their non-smoking section and changed management. Ultimately, if I want a decent homestyle breakfast we go to the Maltby Cafe out in Maltby... sure it's a drive, but the food is good and the atmosphere is homey.TazerRE said:Darkbuddha...
I'm with you.
Beths is a COMPLETE HOLE.
Yeah, but their cinnamon rolls are totally worth braving the crowd.TazerRE said:I'm ten minutes away from the Maltby Cafe... but I'm rarely willing to brave the crowds to go there, even though it is a great spot.

If I want grass, I'll graze with the cattle!Max Power said:I dunno, I guess the weather keeps em in hiding 6 months out of the year. Southern Cal used to have great diners during the Googie era, but I am afraid the Big Boy restaurants and their ilk are getting fewer and farther between. Most of it has gone to the health nuts out there, where you can get grass on 27 grain toast for $9!
Or visit your dealer right?65stanger said:If I want grass, I'll graze with the cattle!
