When I think of the Great American Diner, I think of three things:

• The scent of coffee as soon as you walk in
• Old people sitting at the counter
• HOT.ROAST.BEEF.SANDWICHES

The North Pole Restaurant have been providing these diner staples for over 60 years.

I’ve driven past the restaurant for about 5 years.  I had a hunch that it was a traditional diner, but never stopped in.  One day, I was bored and figured I’d give it a shot.  I was not disappointed.  I (of course) ordered the Hot Roast Beef Sandwich.

It took me back to when I was a kid and we’d stop at a diner on the way home from the horse auction or flea market.  In rural Michigan, there is no shortage of diners.  You can ask my mom, I would ALWAYS order the hot roast beef sandwich.

I’m glad I’ve found this hidden treasure…only 4 miles from my house :)
