Super cute restaurant. If you have kids, they will love it. The restaurant is small and can get crowded so be patient :). Parking lot is small too. Everything inside the restaurant including the music will take you back to your childhood. Once we sat down,...Read More

Food was not bad. But the atmosphere was great. Kept the kiddos occupied with the train circling the restaurant. For some reason, my daughter loved the dinosaurs chicken. Will be back when next time we come back to Chicago

Food is good but allowing people to come in and stand near you while you eat and telling staff my kid is just here to watch the train is ridiculous need to order something or leave. It's not big enough. For a kid this place...Read More

This is an ‘old school’ style classic diner experience. Great place to bring the kids. The train running around the counter is so cool. The kids will love it. GREAT classic burgers and fries. Good shakes. The kids Mac and Cheese unfortunately was not good...Read More
