Penny's Diner

All diners are awesome! Just saying.
After officiating a swim meet in Wellington, we came upon Penny's. I love LOVE diners. I always try to get what the cook recommends, but sometimes, the Philly Cheesesteak just pushes its way to my brain. Worth it!
I love watching the cook and the waitress (I assume Penny) do their thing. Its a carefully choreographed dance where minimal verbal communication and body movements become one.
Obviously a very busy location, but it is worth your time and hard earned cash to come here.
This is NOT fast food. This is a meal prepared in front of you down home good cooking!
ENJOY!

Foods good. Place is always clean. Help friendly. I do feel like the to go portions are small for the high prices.

Classic diner fare, in a classic diner. It wasn't run down at all, everything looked like new, though it felt like the '50s inside. The staff was great, attentive and helpful, and our mid road trip 10pm dinner, burgers for the kids and breakfast foods for my wife and I, was the highlight of our travel day. We would stop here again. 24hrs, so makes a good late night option.

It's pretty chaotic because they are busy. The grill wasn't as clean as I would like. But...... the food was excellent! The service was excellent! Just what we needed after a long day on the road. Get down off your high horse and go eat here. I had the chicken fried chicken and it was possibly the best ever. We'll be back.

On our way home from Wichita, we decided to drive through some of the smaller towns along the way. We stopped at this nostalgic diner and had a wonderful meal and dining experience! I enjoyed breakfast, which is served all day, and my husband had chicken fried steak...which he rated 8 out 10...which is high for him! He also commented that the gravy was exceptional! If we are ever that way again, this will be one of our meal stops!
