Retro Diner Double Dollar Deal

We visited the Retro Diner in West Glen for the first time on Friday night.  We were using one of our certificates from ABC5 Double Dollar Deals.  My family enjoyed it.  We loved the cheese curds (I will never claim to be a healthy eater) and the kids really liked their Mickey Mouse pancakes.  My huband enjoyed his burger.  My taco salad was fine.  The only disappointing part was our chocolate shake.  It had a weird taste to it that we couldn't quite figure out.  For 2 adults and 2 kids meals with appetizer & a shake to go we still spent about $17 in addition to our gift certificate.  We're looking forward to trying it for breakfast soon.  There are still a few certificates available on ABC5 Double Dollar Deals, but they expire March 1, so you will need to use it very soon if you decide to get one.

I also noticed on the Double Dollar Deals site they are getting ready for Valentine's Day and will have sales starting Thursday for Cookies By Design on Suzette Homemade Candies.
