Diners take a step back in time at this post-World War II-style neighborhood malt shop and enjoy American favorites like fresh, hand-formed grilled hamburgers and hand-dipped ice cream shakes along with sandwiches, fries and apple pie. Servers lip-synch to songs and perform dance routines, and diners are able to play old favorites on a nickel jukebox.
