Food was okay, nothing to write home about...but the nostalgia of the milkshake and phosphorus soda was worth it. Now the cost of items isn't cheap, they have to pay for the wages some how. Have your wallet ready.

I enjoyed a delightful chicken salad sandwich for lunch today. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made my solo visit quite enjoyable.

The restaurant was about 1/3 full, so our experience was better than average in terms of seating and receiving our orders in a timely fashion. Such a fun place! The club sandwich was huge, fries excellent, and my Croque Monsieur: a grilled ham and cheese smothered in béchamel and topped with a fried egg. OMG Scrumptious!!! Will eat here again for sure!!!

The server stated they were having problems with the HVAC unit. had coffee (very good) and that help warm me up. I ordered the Culp's Cafe Platter. The dish was quite good (but cooled off due to the indoor temp) and fixed just right. The onion and peppers and gravy were good. The ham chunks were nicely sized and had a nice smoky taste. Eggs fixed just as ordered. Service was commendable. Since the facility is very new, it was very nice inside and very clean with a 1940-50 soda fountain decor. Kudos to the decorator. All in all, very satisfied (except for the cool surroundings, which should be temporary). I plan to return to try out some of the other dishes.
