Red Rock Diner

The Red Rock Diner is retro with taste. The 50's diner motif is heavy and obvious, but it just stops short of being forced on you. In other words, the waitresses aren't snapping gum and wearing roller skates. The Red Rock is the center of the two diner poles in the valley. On one end there's the 19th Street Diner in Glenwood, an authentic, non-pretentious server of all things chicken fried that is, as far as I can tell, the real deal. On the other end is Boogies Diner, also a server of things chicken fried, but the emphasis is really on the "Hey, it's just like being in a real diner, sort of" aspect. 19th Street could be any small western town in America, Boogies could be any mall or theme park in America, and somewhere in between lies Red Rock, which could be anywhere in Carbondale...it just happens to be exactly where it is.
