Continuing our quest to find the few remaining American diners, we went to Starlite Diner in Daytona Beach.
The place looks exactly like those ‘lunch cars’ from the 50s. Well, at least we think it does — we were not born yet back then. The point is: it looks good from the inside and outside, and it does have the right vibe.
We ordered a Reuben, Nearly Famous O’Rings (their onion rings), and a Country Fried Steak.
(There’s only so much we can say about this one, right?)
We can’t judge the breakfast gravy on top of it because neither of us likes it, doesn’t matter where it’s from. Eggs and toast were fine, and the home fries were pretty decent.
We usually don’t bother to mention drinks (as in, just soda), but this one deserves to be mentioned. The Coke Zero had a terrible taste, so we asked for Diet Coke instead, and it was still bad. We don’t know what was going on there.
Unfortunately, besides the decor, we wouldn’t say that it was an amazing experience.
