Fast real food
Eddie Rockets is a 50s/60s American Diner that serves fast food made from real ingredients. It's not exactly a goumet burger bar, but the ingredients taste fresh and the malt milkshakes are unique.
I must admit, the non-functional jukeboxes annoy me a little, and the music collection is more like "movie nostalgia" rather than atmospheric... if they'd stuck to era rock and roll it would have worked with the image, but unfortunately they've opted for boring pop hits that have been totally overplayed thanks to Tarantino movies.
This used to be my favourite restaurant as a free and loose student, but I must admit that I was disappointed at my most recent visit. I don't think the restaurant has changed at all in the last 10 years... not even a single noticeable addition to the menu.
