There's no place like it. The interior decor of this place reminds you of an old Hollywood movie studio; it's pretty cool. This diner serves all American food all day 24hrs long ;p  Their menu consist of breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrees. You can say this is a higher end and better tasting Dennys. The portions are huge and are made to order. It's so good that it was even featured on the famous show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network. My brother loves their 'Monte Cristo' sandwich. It's a ham, turkey, and swiss cheese sandwich battered and deep fried; then it's dusted off with powder sugar and served with a side of homemade raspberry preserve (so good). I can never finish one by myself and always pick a quarter off my brother's. I call it the heart attack (shown on the bottom right). My favorite would be their fried clams made with "whole belly" Ipswich clams that they ship fresh from Massachusetts (shown on the bottom left). Their fish n chips is made with a whole fillet of fish; it's huge! Their side options and shakes are pretty good too. I do have to warn you that you'll probably end up in a food coma after your meal. Whether you want a breakfast omelette, sandwich lunch, or meatloaf dinner...studio diner will have something on the menu for you anytime of the day ;p
