The Chatterbox

As we were making the turn by Skylands Stadium I noticed an eatery - don't I always - called 
It was immediately up for discussion as the parking lot was mobbed.
"It must be a hotspot" I mentioned to the hubs..."hamburgers and hotdogs, that could be fun"!
So we made a plan and decided we would eat there after ICE.
When we walked in, there was a long line - what could be better - a long line = good food,
and yes the place was mobbed.
I chatted up with the guy in front of me, of course, 
he made his suggestions, a burger or a hotdog, those where the best.
I wandered around and took some pictures - the decor was amazing!!

This was a display of a miniature Chatterbox, in a glass case, this was really cool.

Inside, there were so many amazing highlights of the "Chatterbox" era.











For a special friend, she knows who she is.


So this place was a score.
It was burgers, hot dogs and fries but the burgers and hot dogs were good.
The decor was really amazing -
Elvis was not in the building, I'm sure - I checked every square inch.
But his spirit, yes, his spirit was here.
I really loved this place!

    What a place to bring back memories! The 45's on the wall did the trick for me.

    It looks nothing like the Chatterbox that I once knew, which was a restaurant/diner in a gas station. It was the mid-sixties, and I could get a turkey sandwich, with peas and fries, for 60 cents. This was an occasional treat for lunch while I was in high school. Very occasional.

    Hello, Debbie. The most crowded restaurants usually are the best. I love the decor and the cars. Looks like a fun place to eat.
    Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day.

    What a neat place, Debbie, and I love, love, love that old Roadmaster bike!
    That little blue car isn't too "bad" either! :-)

    Ohhhhkayyy! I do love the decor, but not the long lines and not the hamburger/hotdog offerings. But I am old and cranky. Did they have milkshakes? That I might stand in line for.

    That place looks huge - what an incredible amount of effort has gone into the decor! I wasn't surprised to hear your good verdict on the food... it's always worth a bit of a wait - you just know that many people can't be wrong!

    Oh my, this is a place for my hubby and me! We would love it. We love old cars, we love hamburgers, hot dogs, fries and shakes; although we don't have them often. You know my sweetheart had a heart attack at age 45; so we only have this type of food on very special occasions. This looked like such an amazing place. Hugs for this one!
