You’ll Absolutely Love This ’50s-Themed Diner In Texas
Note: as of October 2020, this restaurant is permanently closed.
Modern-day living definitely has its perks – food can be delivered to us at the touch of a button or ready and waiting at the restaurant when we get there. As nice as that is, it can leave us longing for the good old days. Wouldn’t it be nice to step back in time and enjoy old-fashioned American food without all the unnecessary frills? This nostalgic ’50s-themed diner in Texas is the perfect escape from the busy, high-tech world we live in today.
Upon pulling up to the restaurant, you'll see classic cars lined up, a sign with an old-fashioned vinyl in the middle, and the American flag flying high and proud - it doesn't get more '50s than that.
The vibe inside is much the same. Records hang on the walls, waiters take orders on notepads in their shirt pocket, and meals are served on black and white checkered plates. Not to mention the impeccable service roadside diners are notorious for.
And as for the food, well, this picture doesn't even do it justice. It's the favorite restaurant of nearly every local resident, and some even drives hours just to eat here. Plus, your meal will always be served with an ear-to-ear grin!
Burgers and fries, steak that rivals Ruth's Chris (yes, a customer actually said this!), and decadent desserts that'll take you right back to Sunday suppers at grandma's as a kid are all on the menu here at 50's Cafe.
And it just wouldn't be a '50s diner without a classic malt shake. Choose from vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry - simple flavors, but the taste is anything but ordinary.
