Forget Your Cleanse...the Fremont Diner is the Bomb!

Been driving by the Fremont Diner for a number of years...
and today, after a six hour flight from New York, en route to 
Napa, the stomach growling reached a feverish high-point 
just as the diner came into view.  And what a treat!  
Totally unexpected to find a Zagat-worthy meal inside.
This place is full of charm, and on the weekends you need
to come with a hefty dose of patience as the lines are long
and the parking lot full.



Quirky vintage hip.

Being a native North-westerner, the vintage Olympia beer sign
was a cool sighting.
 (And how about the doll head in the vice??)

Thinking Olympia beer was long extinct,
naturally we had to order one.

Nostalgic as a can of Oly causes one to be,
it still tastes like it did when Domino's Pizza 
was the weekend highlight. 
 The Scrimshaw, however, was a delightful refreshment.

So many choices....

Settled on the Oyster Po'Boy,

...and the Andouille Hot Dog with Hush Puppies.
Both incredibly yummo.


Funky photo booth.

 And you can thumb-tack your end product on the restroom wall.

 Plenty of overflow seating, no matter the weather.

 This is my dream truck.

 (Until I saw the driver ).





Located on the Carneros Highway in Sonoma, 
the Fremont Diner is an absolute gem.  
Farm-to-table eats, and a seductive-smelling
smoker out back....straight-forward goodness all around.
