About THE DINING CAR AND MARKET

Perhaps one of the most unique and memorable diners that you will cross paths with while traveling in the USA, it has one of the most complete menus as well. Items such as their Chicken Croquette's, Apple Walnut Pie and homemade French Onion Soup are amazing and are just a glimpse of what amazing things you'll experience when dining here. What makes this place stand out is also their attached bakery and market which is where you'll get the fresh ingredients for your meals. Homestyle comfort food is the name of the game here and you can come get it twenty-four hours a day here. As most old-school diners, it's cash only so come prepared or feel free to use the ATM machine inside. So many other great thing here such as the Scrapple, real old-fashioned Grits, Caprese Omelette, Burgers made out of REAL beef, chipped beef and a variety of delicious kids options too. Snappy service is great and you're drinks or coffee are never left empty. This goes a long way for us, as there is nothing worse than having an empty cup right? Check this place out friends, really a hidden gem in the dining world.
