We at Budget Beat love hamburgers. Even if you've paid only scant attention to our humble blog over the past year, you've probably noticed that we like to order hamburgers when given the chance because: (a) they're a staple of American dining: (b) they're usually inexpensive; (c) the preparation of a hamburger can tell a lot about a restaurant; and, most important, (d) nobody doesn't like a burger.
Welcome Diner is open just a few hours a week, accepts only cash, seats only eight people, and sits off the beaten path, in a residential neighborhood. Upon reading that, a lot of readers have probably already ruled the place out as a legitimate dining option. Others' curiosity has been piqued even more. And the Welcome Diner true believers are nodding their heads in approval because they know it all enhances the place's charm.
