By "the real deal" I meant that it's not a fake 50s diner with pictures of '57 Chevys, etc. (which I can't stand) but it's an original 50s coffee shop. I didn't imply the food was the "real deal" as in a good value. I also said the food was cheap and hearty referring to meals I had there some 25 years ago. I have not tried the food lately.

Yep, The Chicken Pie Diner does have a '57 Chevy mural, and autographed pictures of '50s TV stars, framed copies of '50s magazine ads, a Hot Rod Cruise night, and other non-authentic "'50s Diner" items, but the foods great, the wait staff's friendly, and did I mention that the real ice cream shakes & malts are big enough for 2?
