I will never forget this restaurant. I went out to eat by myself with my two boys & everyone was sooo sweet and helpful. They went above and beyond for us three. My little one was super fussy since it was nap time, so they helped cut my other sons pancakes up… just the fact the waitress insisted on doing that, made me so happy.They even have a toy bin, children can play with so they can stay busy while they wait for the food! I think that’s such a cool thing to have as a restaurant, because children are usually forgotten about.Also, the prices are SOOO good. Family friended. Great hospitality. Food portions are great.

Definitely a place to stop if you're in Route 66. I loved the interior and our breakfast was good. Not a bad cup of coffee either! Fun place to visit with a small gift shop.

Been a while since I've had so attentive servers. Water and coffee never bottomed out. Food was good and fast. Will return if ever passing through again.

We ordered the ham and cheese omelet, cherry crepes, multigrain pancakes, and oatmeal. Everything was delicious. The coffee was great! Once it was poured, it never stopped coming. Great family restaurant. We will definitely come again when we are in the area.

Peggy Sue's Diner, an enclave of 1950s Americana, stands as a beacon of culinary nostalgia. It's a place where time seems to have screeched to a halt, preserving the essence of a bygone era in its vinyl booths and checkerboard floors. This joint isn't just a diner; it's a sanctuary for those yearning for a taste of the past, a diamond in the rough where the authenticity of the era pulsates through every jukebox tune.Here, the locals flock, drawn in by the magnetic pull of familiarity and comfort. They're not just customers; they're part of a community, a collective reminiscence of simpler times. The staff, they're the unsung heroes of this establishment, masters of their craft with a knack for remembering your name and how you like your coffee.And the food! It's a rebellious uproar against the blandness of modern cuisine. I had the smothered biscuit - a dish so sinfully delightful, it feels like an act of defiance against the health-crazed trends of today. It's a masterful symphony of flavors, a culinary rebellion served on a plate.Peggy Sue's isn't just a diner. It's a testament to the enduring allure of the American diner culture, a place where the past and present collide in the most delicious way possible. Here, in this timeless haven, every bite is a trip down memory lane, and every visit feels like coming home.

Clean relaxed 50's style dinner. Good home style food. Friendly service. Most times, this place is busy, but that is an indication that they are good. Lots of regulars.

This place is a diamond in the ruff. Great service, Great food, friendly and with 1950's nostalgia everywhere. I had the steak burger club that came with ham, lettuce and a whole bunch of other stuff. It was awesome and so big i could barely bite into it. And the onion rings were great.
