Yummy. Got classic burger and breakfast, neither disappointed. Great atmosphere and frankly a smart idea to host a diner around a bunch of new beautiful cars inside a dealership. Particularly for a car-themed diner. Families, couples and employees came and went for food as I was here, all folks. Will go again. Also cool / novel for bringing friends to visit.

I’d heard good things about this diner located inside the Crossroads Ford dealership in Apex. Hearing about it is the main way the diner gets customers…through word of mouth.
“The” dish that is unique to the diner is the Trash Plate which is a staple in Rochester NY. I had never had one before so I didnt know what to expect. Turns out its a plate filled with cold macaroni salad (1/2) and fried potatoes (1/2) and on top of that is a hamburger. The hamburger is covered with what they call their signature “meat sauce”. And then the meat sauce is slathered with yellow mustard. Ok…so if the description was confusing….so was the meat sauce. Hmmm. I don’t think I’ve ever been for a lack of words or unable to describe a food or flavor…umm…it was minuscule bits of meat in a sauce that had a flavor that wasn’t identifiable. Imagine a beef chili with only meat and the meat being the size of a pin head, and there being more meat than sauce. That was served on top of the thinnest hamburger I have ever seen (best way to describe is 1/2 the thickness of a McDonald’s hamburger). The burger didn’t have flavor. The macaroni salad lacked flavor. The potatoes were good. I don’t understand the trash plate….
The person I was with had a BLT. Plain Jane, as basic as basic gets, with tater tots. The tots were good.

Go INSIDE the Ford dealer to find the diner. Cute 50's decor and good food choices . Will return.

I had a solid pair of dogs from Mustang Charlie's today. It was my first time having Zweigle's hot dogs and I wasn't disappointed. The slaw was great, but the chili was decent. Overall a good hot dog.

Great place for kids! Took my 2.5 year old tonight and ordered breakfast for dinner. For $9.99, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 scrambled eggs, and 2 pieces of french toast (or you can do 2 waffles or 2 pancakes). Comes with home fries but swapped them for french fries. Everything was made fresh, and you can tell. We took him over to the little indoor playground to play while we waited for his food, and again after he had finished eating. There was even another room with toys, including tons of matchbox cars.
Cheap, fresh food, fun, and a super convenient location.
