The ambience was incredible and unique and our server, Allison, was the SWEETEST person ever. We both got the happy hour welcome burger and a plate of fries to share. I cannot use the language I want to here to be able to properly express how incredible our food was so I will just say that everything was off the board amazing. I could bathe in that garlic aioli and that was the BEST burger I've ever had. FOR 10 BUCKS!!! All around great vibes, fantastic and quick service, amazing food. Seriously I live 30 minutes from this place and I will make it a goal to come back as often as I possibly can. Thank you!

Come Saturday evening, we thought our son would fly in early enough, on his way back from North Carolina, to take him to Lon's restaurant at the resort. Unfortunately, due to delays he was not able to make it to the resort until after ten. By that time, most restaurants are closed for the evening!!! After a quick search, apart from the traditional 24/7s, we spotted the 5 & Diner, and it was close enough to get there within ten minutes!

All the ice cream sodas are wonderful, but their strawberry ice cream is my favorite by far. The Casablanca (strawberry ice cream and mango soda) is my go-to dessert. The servers are all extremely friendly and make sure your meal is out to you quickly. I've often had times when multiple people come over to check on me if my food is not out yet. The only downside is that it is a small space, so sometimes it can get pretty packed during busy hours. Despite that, though, I've never had to wait too long for a seat or a counter space. Really delicious food, cannot recommend enough!

If you have never heard of MacAlpine's, this is your chance to read on! Opened in 1929, it was…read moreoriginally called "Birch's Pharmacy" and true to most pharmacies back then, it had a soda fountain. Fast forward nine years to 1938, and Fred MacAlpine purchased it, renaming it for his namesake, and operating it as a full-service pharmacy and soda fountain until 1991. It was then purchased by a couple who still own it today and have kept it in as much of its original condition as possible, including the soda fountain, the counter, and the malt machine. When you park and walk to the front of the yellow building, you can't help but feel joy. The storefront windows, the antiques, all of it make you wonder just how far back in time you're going to travel. Once you've stepped foot inside and onto the checkered floor, you can't help but smile at the counter, all of the antiques from decades past, and the wait staff who wears 1950s uniforms. We slid into our wood booth with the tiny jukebox on the wall and immediately got to reviewing the extensive menu. Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING... looked good. Bonus: They have gluten-free bread! My husband chose the cheeseburger and I chose the turkey BLT (on gluten-free bread) - both were delicious! We then opted to share a mint chocolate chip milkshake that was created on the original 1940s machine - something that completed the experience. When we were done, we were fortunate enough to chat with Monica Heizenrader, co-owner of MacAlpine's wth her daughter. She is a very kind woman who is very passionate about keeping the history of this diner alive, even taking to selling antiques (in the other rooms of the building) to help support the upkeep. However, with rising costs and some family challenges, it's getting tough. She was proud to have kept this going as long as she and her family have and even mentioned some of the more notable people that have stepped into the diner over the decades, including Barry Goldwater (a regular), Joan Ganz Cooney (one of the creators of Sesame Street), Frank Lloyd Wright, Aunt Maud, Marshall Good, Wayne Newton (who was discovered by a talent scout there), and more!

I love the small, no-frills vibe--no glitz, no glam, just straight to the point. They also have a little side patio area that's a nice touch. It's very low-key, but I can imagine the lights making it a great vibe at night. The burger was good, but there were a few things that could be better. Mine had a bit too many grilled onions and was slightly burnt. It also could've used a little more seasoning. You can tell everything is fresh and that there's definitely heart put into it, but it just didn't quite hit the level I was expecting. The fries were really good though--kind of like those classic corner-market style French fries. The workers were super nice and quick with service, and they kept checking in to make sure everything was good, which I really appreciated.
