Today we're out and about.
After running a few errands last week, my foodie friend Sally took me to a new-to-me place to eat. It's an original "greasy spoon." According to my search assist: A greasy spoon is a small, cheap restaurant (often serving lots of fried food) that typically offers quick, simple meals. It’s also used as slang for a no-frills place known for basic food.
Note that a greasy spoon serves a lot of fried food. This is the menu. It can't be removed from the wall, even though it appears others have tried. Everything here is fried. Note the table top. Exactly like a boomerang pattern I have seen in 1950s magazines.
I ordered large french fries and onion rings. The waitress asked if I was sure I wanted large. She even brought out the brown basket and showed me how much larger it was. I said "YES, Please." Note my water with lemon and Sally's water in the background. You can also see Sally's onion rings.
You might notice the blogs I love to visit in my left sidebar have not updated in a week. Another blogger glitch.

I love a greasy spoon! I love that neon sign, I have some signs like that on my kitchen wall. And what's wrong with grease?? It's not like we eat like that every day, those fries look so good.
That kind of restaurant has yummy old-fashioned home-style food, but my doctor would be upset at me for eating there, because my cholesterol numbers would go way up high. LOL! Have a blessed week, my friend!
Yum. Onion rings and fries may not be the healthiest, but how often do you actually eat them? I love a nice greasy spoon. Fries and onions rings are perfect. Happy T day. hugs-Erika
Happy T Day.
All the best Jan
Some of the best places to eat are "greasy spoons" not all but these look like good fries and onion rings. Yum,
My husband likes this place, but our favorite is TJs near where you were with same kind of food! Ok, I posted earlier today, then forgot to link here! Happy T Day!
I like the fact that it is all home made. You can tell that the chips/fries are not from a freezer bag. I don't normally eat chips, but I would et a few of these. Not such a big basket though. You only hasd onion rings. Where's the fish?
Happy T-Day,

...we go to a diner and it's slogan is, "no one serves cholesterol like we do!"
When we visit Harry's diner, the waitresses wear T-shirts that say Fried is a Food Group 🤣Your fries look so good. Happy T Day
Happy T-Day. I've started bookmarking blogs I follow, rebuilding the list from those who have commented. Also, you might consider adding a follow by mail widget. I do that through mailchimp so not sure if you can add it without participating (it's free for X number of posts) but you CAN follow me through mail sign-up there, if you haven't already!
Yummy
You had a nice outing to Ty,s dear Elizabeth. Happy T-day and warm greetings from Greece. Violetta
We used to call them Greasy Spoons. I don't think I've heard that in years.
Hihi, heart attack in the making! What a "cool" place! Is the interior 50´s style, too?
I join you a "bit" late...
