Dino's Soda Bar

I love breakfast and with a free Sunday morning, we headed over to try a local joint, Dino’s Soda Bar. It is one of those places, you drive by and haven’t tried, but there are always people there, morning noon and night!

It is a casual place, sit anywhere and we’ll be right with you. The young waitresses are in old diner shirts and are running to keep up with the crowd. The real history of the place, I’m unsure about but it appears to have been a diner with bar stools to order your malt from.

After taking a seat at a booth inside, I learn that the coffee is self-serve at the end of the bar. The menu is small, and everything sounds good. We both got The Original Egg Sandwich, but with different add-ons. As we read the paper, the patio filled up and our meal arrived. The Egg Sandwich is on a large “Texas toast” type bun. It was grilled on one side and soft on the outside. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the cheese was melted and stringy. It was delicious!

Breakfast options are eggs of some variety, pancakes or granola and lunch is burgers, sandwiches, limeades and salads. For evening guests they have homemade ice cream, but when it’s gone, it’s gone! This isn’t a mass producing ice cream shop, so get there early for a choice of flavors.
