The Royal Sub Shop – The next best place to home

Take a look how the windows have been painted over. My guess is with that enormous expanse of glass and with the grills, the place turns into a giant oven in the summer and that was the easiest way of solving it.

The kitchen

It has a bit of an unusual interior setup, with the kitchen and service area are between the windows and the counter, instead of the usual arrangement of having it along the blank back wall.

The entrance is around back.

And it’s currently on the market.

Care for a milkshake?

It would seem this place bought an old airplane, cut off the tail and crashed it through their roof so that they could make a visual pun about chicken wings. Regardless, it’s pretty cool, and has a historical president. See here.

Under all that lies a mostly in-tact 1950s Silk City diner. We didn’t stop in this time, but last we did, it was a great little place.

And these big creepy statues are just down the street at another restaurant.

Open breakfast and lunch. We hit it after it had closed for the day.

110 15th St, Duncannon, PA

Angie’s is a true truck stop diner. Open 24 hours, with a diesel station, scales and a gift shop.

It’s almost impossible to tell what’s under all the remodeling when viewed from the outside. Stone, enormous multi-pitched mansard roof with a dormer.

Look at all those trucks. This is hanging over the cash register, from back in the days when it was the Trail Diner. For more pre-remodel photos, take a look at Diner Hotline.

Enormous Kullman with a dining room addition off to the left. Addition to the right? L-Shaped diner? double graft? Whatever it is, it’s a huge place.

The dining room is still almost entirely in-tact. It’s that nice transitional style between exaggerated modern and environmental. The Jetsons meet George Washington. Big picture windows, terrazzo, tile, exposed beams and flue light fixtures.

The original terrazzo floor, counter and backbar are still there, but all the walls of the diner are gone, leaving just the outline of the place in the floor of the larger structure.
