The one here in Rochester,MN is Cheap Charleys. Little place were there is not a seat that doesnt have a hole in it from ware. None of the dishes, cups, or flatwere match. One of those places that the food is good and cheap, but you don't want to look in the kitchen...Ever.
Fantastic
Life is like a baby duck...with a side of orange sauce.
Hey, I've been there Jim, and indeed had the garbage plate! (the friend I was visiting in that area insisted upon it). Very good stuff. Their food has some character, none of those bland undercooked home fries and such.
But closer to home I'd say The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth NH.
Well said Matt!
I have eaten there many times. I don't think there is one coffee cup that matches another in the entire place.
Good cheap food though.
For breakfast I like the Canadian Honker. Two eggs, potatoes, toast/jelly, choice of meat, and coffee all for about $5.
You can't make it at home for much less than that.
If you ever get to downtown Kansas City this is the place to go...awesome burgers Unfortunately my hometown favorite went out of business but the name of it is still a classic "Terry's house of tomaine"
Not far from me is a greasy spoon called....FAT BOY'S BACKYARD BBQ & MORE. Best BBQ, and fries I've had in years, and they peel and slice their on fries. :P
...Wait a minute....just slow down.... you're gonna miss this....you're gonna want this back.....
