About Peter Pank Diner

The owners of Peter Pank Diner opened the business in 1957, when they traded a 68-acre farm in Holmeson—and an additional sum of cash—for the restaurant. In the years since, they've remodeled, expanding the dining room and installing a stainless steel bar that seats 110. But their menu still brims with the American classics that were served in the '50s.

That menu caters to many tastes. Fat Cat hoagies, gravy-and-cheese-smothered Disco fries, and other casual favorites share table space with sumptuous Italian dishes, stuffed lobster tails, and filet mignon. Servers fills glasses with beer and specialty cocktails, fountain drinks, and old-fashioned egg creams.
