Called in one morning for breakfast and returned twice more during the week. Great 50s vintage decor and the staff dress in appropriate dated attire. Owners Sue & Ray are two of the loveliest people you could hope to meet and are enthusiastic, detail conscious and happily funny. We never left without a smile on our faces. Thank you.

Our second visit to this little gem in Harrington and it did not disappoint! First visit with extended family over the long weekend and the staff, food and service was great! Quick service, generous servings (no shortage of chips in our sides) and nice vibe. Back today to double check it wasn’t a fluke and again great food and service and plenty of chips! The burgers and steak sandwich are delicious. Having visited Harrington over the years the owners have done a great job to bring this to Harrington. We will be back!

Awesome location at Harrington right across from the river. It’s up top of some shops so look up as you arrive lol, we missed it on first pass. Food was good, service was excellent, atmosphere was awesome with multicolor chairs, Elvis in the corner jukebox in the other corner, ice cream stand, and the music is just perfect all the old greats. Feels like you’re sitting on a set for the Grease movie. Staff were in uniforms of the era and all were lovely and happy. Definitely heading there again.

We went here and I have to say the lady making and serving the delicious coffee was just so wanting to ensure my coffee was just as I like it. Outstanding customer service and the most beautiful view to enjoy morning coffee.

Went for a drive to check out this diner as I had seen all the raves about it on Facebook. Not a lot happens in Harrington so this is definitely the highlight. The staff a super friendly and very quick with the service. Love that they dress in the 50’s as well. Great view from the top also looking out over the water. There is a lovely clothes shop/hairdressers/beautician downstairs that is worth checking out while there as well.
