Awesome place. A must visit if you are driving through town. They have 44 soft serve flavors (look at pictures) and it's only $2.50 a cone. The only thing is water is a $0.25 for a small cup which is kinda odd but it's a small business and they need funds to stay open :)

UPDATE: they got a high chair Very cute little diner. Yummy diner food. The onion rings were sooo good. And of course the ice cream was delicious. The only thing I was missing was a high chair for my 11 month old. Will definitely go back. We did wait a bit too but they were a little short staffed at the moment. It was worth the wait. Spent about $80 for family of 5, including tip and desert. Nice outdoor sitting area too.
