Very cool place with a lot of things to look at. The shakes looked good but i didn't have one. I had the king Kong burger it was pretty dry but the onion rings were tasty they charge almost $4 for a soda so probably settle for the water with your food.

Stepping into this restaurant feels like traveling back in time to the 1950s. From the servers’ outfits to the style of the check, every detail captures the era perfectly. It was such a nice experience to see a place like this in real life, not just in the movies. The food was good, and of course we had to try the pie – definitely worth it. The atmosphere is charming, especially in the original section, which feels authentic and full of character. The newer extension feels a little less natural, but still adds space for the many guests. Be prepared to wait, as it’s very popular and not meant to be fast food – but the overall experience makes it worthwhile. One thing to know: they don’t accept NFC payments, so you’ll need a physical card or cash.

Big shout out to Danielle! Shes the engine of the place besides the cooks who make the delicious foods. She fills the place up with kindness and good vibes. Food: We ordered ham, eggs and hash. A Veggie omlette with biscuits Dessert as a guilty treat since they're homemade. Strawberry-rhubarb pie. Highly recommend the pie. Would come here again for the diner experience and it's got a cute Park out back with turtles and ducks.

Peggy Sue's Diner is a delightful step back in time with an authentic 1950s vibe. The food is fresh, delicious, and perfectly complements the nostalgic atmosphere. It's a fun stop for a meal, unique candy, or retro memorabilia shopping. As a woman, I loved the surprising touch in the ladies' bathroom—a quirky highlight! Not sure if the men's room has a similar surprise, but it's worth checking out. Conveniently located, it's the perfect break on the drive to Las Vegas. If you have time, visit Calico Ghost Town just across the street, a mile up the hill—another must-see! Highly recommend!

This was our 3rd time stopping in. As truck drivers we appreciate the space to park and eat. First, I love diners so finding one we could park at was the first allure. Second, the ambiance and decor captured my attention. Thirdly, the experience with the customer service and the food has been great with each visit. Personally the pizza was not for me. We did get one to go for us to have later but the food itself has not disappointed. Will continue to stop on when we can.

Atmosphere is what it's all about here. Enjoy your time at a 50's diner full of history. Food was delicious, try the root beer float. Service was great, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Stop by...you won't regret it.

Courtney was very kind and welcoming. We had to try some classics, like the Peggy Sue Special and my partner had the Patti Page Patty Melt. Both were delicious. The sides are so good too. The potato salad was tasty. The root beer flow was so good! Nostalgic decor that highlights all of the patrons that have walked through the doors adorn the Diner. Such a historic diner!
