Near the corner of Indianola and Morse, you’ll find a small strip of parking spaces lining the front entrance of the diner. We quickly found a parking spot and table at 9 a.m. on a Wednesday, but we can imagine it fills up on the weekend! As we seated ourselves at a clean booth, we couldn’t help but take in all the pictures lining the walls on either side. From Marilyn Monroe to Elvis Presley to vintage cars, it nods to the diners of the fifties and sixties. A brick-based counter lines one side of the restaurant with a view of the open kitchen, Josh’s favorite view. A few glass displays along the counter display the fresh sweets featured on their daily special board.

We ate with Josh’s mother, so we chose a booth and sipped coffee while watching the workers bustle as we waited on her. If you’ve read our emails before, you know that I love to look up the history of the businesses we visit, so here’s what we found!
George came to the United States from Albania. He started his restaurant journey as a busboy before working his way into the kitchen. George learned most of his cooking skills while working at the long-standing Tommy’s Diner before opening his own! He opened George’s Beechwold Diner in 2010 to create a homemade, always fresh menu for the residents of Clintonville/Beechwold. The menu has many standard diner dishes, but as I mentioned, you can tell they are made by hand.
