Ain't nothing wrong with paying a little homage to the greasy spoon, a bastion of culinary delights and artery-bursting goodies paid for with cash by the front door. We can't provide the bottomless cup of coffee, but we can give you a mushroom melt that'll blow the doors and your socks off after one crunchy, umami bite. A side salad with spinach and basil-y pesto provides a crunchy, healthy break, but if you're like us, you won't be able to put the melt down. Now scooch over in the vinyl booth and let us sit down: We want a bite!
