Munich has a vintage American diner. I was a skeptic. I looked at the kitschy decor, and I thought, this place is not for me. You see, it's because a lot of people here are really into classic American culture - the cars, the clothes, roadtrips down Route 66, and the diners. But sometimes it seems like a caricature, and I thought maybe this diner was all just part of that "image".
Turns out, the food is actually good, and I would say of a higher standard than a lot of diners in America. And the macaroni and cheese is the bomb! They add some tomatoes, sweet green chilies, and bread crumbs, and it is somehow the best lowbrow mac & cheese, but with a twist.
And if you want pancakes, or an American-style breakfast, this is definitely the place to come. None of the other restaurants in Munich can do pancakes quite right, but they hit the mark here.
Other than that, it's exactly what you would expect - burgers, fries, milkshakes, etc. A good stop for expats or travelers who are missing diner fare, or for Germans who are enamored with that element of American culture.
