Diner 23 is a traditional diner with American style cooking in a small town. Have a burger and fries and listen to rock and roll on the jukebox, or have a traditional diner meal such as an open-faced meat loaf sandwich with mashed potatoes and plenty of gravy. Breakfast is served all day long and they also have hand-dipped ice cream. The portions I received were generous and tasted good, and the prices were very reasonable.

sandwiches include french fries or chips and a pickle spear
1/4 Pound All-Beef Burger $ 2.99
Diner 23 Reuben $ 4.99

There is also an extensive breakfast menu and a lengthy children's menu. They also have daily meal specials, sometimes of items not on the menu. For example, when I last visited, I had the special, a beef with noodles dinner that was excellent.
