Known For: Attentive, speedy and friendly wait staff along with the challah bread that’s so awesome customers order loaves to take home.

Behind the Scenes: Just like “Cheers,” where everybody knows your name, the longtime waitstaff – including one who has been there for more than 40 years -- always find time to chat while speedily taking orders and dispensing the Patty Melts. Oh, and it’s super accessible from I-84.
