Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Reservations: Available
Dress: CC: Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

The black and white tiled floors, metal-pressed ceiling, and chrome-accented furnishings inside this restaurant scream retro-'50s diner. The West End Diner even sports an impressive black chrome Art Deco entrance and a classic soda fountain counter. The menu is immense and features food choices like 10 types of burgers, various sandwiches, tender ribs and a savory meatloaf. The service is good, and the privacy provided by the diner's quaint alcove booths adds value to the price of the meal.
