Driving down Route 113 in Ellendale Delaware I caught a glimpse of stainless steel and red behind the foliage. I turned the car around immediately and honestly didn’t see the Keep Out sign as I pulled in the driveway for a closer look – I only see it now from across the highway as I type this on my phone from the parking area of the Ellendale Tract of the Redden State forest. (I mention that as that was actually what I was looking at right before I spied the diner, and it’s just across the street, if you’re in the area and looking for a landmark.)
I am thinking this might be a diner that used to be English’s Chicken, if only because I was just wondering whatever happened to that diner and I think it was around here. You never know what you’re gonna find on a retro road trip!!! Sent from my iPhone
UPDATE! Our pals at Roadside have the insider skinny about this diner, it’s for sale. Read about it on their website:

Beth, great find! A very large Mountain View Diner, I would say late model. Don’t know which one it is but it is really beautiful!
Oh WOW! It’s beautiful!
Yep, it was pretty neat, and quite an unexpected find!
Hey! you found that too! It’s one of the English’s diners
Cool! I thought it must’ve been one. I remember eating some tasty fried chicken in one when I first moved to DE, but I am realizing now that was a number of years ago. The only English’s that is left is the one in OC MD?
