Everyone Goes Nuts For The Hamburgers At This Nostalgic Eatery In Connecticut

When you think of old burger joints in Connecticut, Louis Lunch almost always comes to mind. After all, they did invent the burger. But there's another place that embraces the nostalgia of the "good old days" and still delivers on flavor-packed burgers. Say hello to Manchester's very own Shady Glen. This vintage '50s diner has gained many fans over the years and their followers continue to grow. It's just so darn good!

Shady Glen is guaranteed to transport you to the past. This family-friendly diner has an authentic feel that's like stepping into a time capsule. So, grab your friends and get your tastebuds ready.

You'll love the wooden booths and neon seating, which pairs perfectly with the staff. The waitresses wear classic diner dresses and the waiters can be found in white paper hats. It's just like the diner scenes from your favorite old movies.

But even better than all that is the extra cheesy burgers. With giant baked cheese on top there's nothing like it anywhere else. Eat it like crispy chips on the side or fold it in to enjoy with every bite. And bonus- they come with crinkle cut fries!

You can also get a coffee milkshake which is the tastiest frozen treat ever. You get the glass and the mixer so you're guaranteed to leave happy and full.
