Burgers and milkshakes in a room that looks straight out of a 1950s diner.

Scones and pots of tea in a room done up like a fairy tale, so a snack feels like a small occasion.

Western memorabilia on the walls and a small toy shop inside, so kids have plenty to look at while the food comes.

Candy stacked floor to ceiling, so choosing just one takes a while. Agree on how many before you walk in.

The waiters sing Broadway songs between orders, and your kid will stop eating to watch.

A classic lunch counter where kids can sit up front and watch the burgers cook on the griddle.

Pickles sold straight out of barrels, so kids get to point at the exact one they want.
