Locals have known about this quaint little Route 66 leftover diner for years. It has become an area landmark, and the food served here is quite tasty. Here diners can enjoy one of the most popular specialty dishes, the slinger, anytime the craving strikes. Feast on a plate packed with meat, two eggs, hash brown potatoes, cheese, chili and onions. Or, choose your favorite greasy spoon dish from the all-night menu of hamburgers, fish sandwiches, or breakfast items.

Stepping through the front door of Courtesy Diner feels like taking a step back into time with jukebox tunes and nostalgia. Since 1935, this diner has been part of the area landscape and was the only restaurant of its kind to survive when a nationwide chain that once owned it closed down. Revived in the late 1990s, the eatery has stood the test of time, offering all-night breakfast and other food items that satisfy a late-night hunger. Enjoy three variations of the midwest slinger dish: The hoosier, a slinger with white gravy instead of chili; The Hangover, a chicken fried steak smothered in white sausage gravy, eggs, and hash browns; or The devil’s Delight, the slinger minus the hamburger patty and with St. Louis’ Edmond’s chili.

Stop by the area’s last all-night diner located on the original historic Route 66, where slingers and breakfast at Tiffany’s are always served. After a day of boutique or comic book shopping on Manchester, satisfy your late-night cravings for classic diner fare, locally popular toasted ravioli, or the classic slinger with variations known as the Toby or the yin/yang. The Toby is a slinger dish substituted with two eggs covered in sausage gravy, and the yin/yang is a two-egg breakfast served with half chili and half gravy. The only time these doors are closed is briefly on Sundays from 3 to 7 p.m.
