The place was jam packed when I was there so my photos all just show people hunched over their food. However, here are some shots from Flickr folk, to give you an idea - the inside of the diner is just as cool as the outside (though I admit it could use a loving scrub!) http://www.flickr.com/photos/boliyou/4318943044/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/emily/3191915473/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/udt007us/3549691738/ Hello Lizzie!

If you're ever interested in coming up with your top 5-10 RI places for Retro Roadmappers I'd love to share it! Always good to get a local's perspective, I'm sure there are some hidden gems us out of towners don't know about!

Glad you have fond memories of it- for some reason I think I have a photo from an article about Velvet Crush (written by our own Brett Milano) and they're sitting at the counter, that's always a swell memory for me of driving to RI for shows at Lupos' and Babyhead.

I was so glad to see you stopped there and your current visit brought back great memories. I too, used to have to rush to get there before the 2pm closing time! A classic!
