About LAKE EFFECT DINER


Almost 55 years old, this amazing restaurant really does get you all of your classic diner meals without delay and without robbing your wallet. Guy loves this location and is sure to take his time especially with the Chicken Parmesan, Pizza and Meatballs that are winners on the menu. All-American style diner that is going strong over six decades of service. It's spots such as this that truly define what diners are suppose to entail; a chrome and neon styled diner car that was built in the early 50's. In today's age of modern style drive-thru madness that truly have no character, it's worth your time to make the drive to this amazing, authentic fifties era dining car and experience dining how it's meant to be. You can still eat the old-school classics here and wash them down with the same thick milkshakes that were served so many years ago. They focus on local suppliers and farmers to build their menu each day to give you the freshest choices possible. So much here such as the house-smoked and cured meats, homemade breads or homemade jams to name simply a few. We love that they cater to both hungry carnivores along with vegans to truly make everyone happy. Friends, come visit this refreshingly cool diner that will make your day just right.
