Running and Laughing through the Golden State
I recently stopped at the Original Mel’s Diner in Vacaville, California. It’s a chain diner. I thought I had been to a location in San Francisco and but it turns out that it was the Mel’s Drive-In, and the two are not related. So when I found out they were different, I decided to go to the Original Mel’s Diner in Vacaville. I’m not opposed to going to repeat diners or restaurants, but I like to try new things.
The Red Hut Cafe in Stateline, Nevada, is technically my first Nevada Diner! I was actually contemplating if it was “really a diner,” but with the all-day breakfast and lunch, the menu, and the general atmosphere, the Red Hut Cafe is definitely a diner.
While in Sacramento, I knew I wanted to go to Rick’s Dessert Diner. To be honest, a diner that only serves dessert seems like a dream to me. My favorite thing to order at diners is cake anyway!
Rick’s has been voted the number 1 place for dessert in Sacramento for several years.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a diner review, right? Recently, I ordered take-out from Eppie’s Restaurant in West Sacramento. It’s a cute diner located near the highway. I was passing through, hungry and just wanting a stop. Eppie’s Restaurant was perfect.
Punky’s Diner and Pies is a 50’s Diner in Medford, Oregon. According to the website, they are known for their pies and “Homemade Goodness you can taste.” They are known for their 50s and 60s vibes and open until 2 pm. The first Oregon diner I stopped at is Terry’s Diner in Eugene. It was fun to pop by another one!
