Travel back in time to the rockin' 1950s at this theme diner, where the jukebox is loud, the gum-snapping waitresses slide into your booth to take your order, and the decor is neon and vintage Corvette to the highest power. Equal parts Happy Days hangout and Jackrabbit Slim's (as in Pulp Fiction), the Corvette Diner is a comfy, family-friendly time warp in the midst of Hillcrest, and the diner-esque eats ain't bad for the price, either. Burgers, sandwiches, appetizer munchies, blue-plate specials, and salads share the menu with a very full page of fountain favorites. Beer and wine are served, and there's a large bar in the center of the cavernous dining room. The party jumps a notch at night, with a DJ providing more entertainment (on top of the already captivating atmosphere)--the decibel level is always high. A reliable favorite for pre-teen birthdays.
