The final place that I went to for my vacation took our party about 45 minutes outside of FBG’s childhood town, and all the way to the big city of Binghamton. Binghamton is not actually a big city. It’s not tiny, but we’re not taking about a truly major city either. It is probably the biggest city in a 50 mile radius, minimum though. In this case that means that when FBG wanted to (for example) go to the movies, this was the closest city that had a real movie theater. So, lots of people come here, even though it’s a small city by realistic standards. So, how was the place. Awesome, in a word. The diner overlooks a river out the back of the seating area, almost looking like you could fall in if the waters got a little bit higher, and the weather wasn’t agreeing that day. It’s a really nifty view. The fries here were pretty basic, fast food style fries. Thickness was about a 3.5/10, and the crispiness was about a 5.5/10. There was no salt or seasoning on the fries, and these fries really didn’t need it, as they were plenty tasty enough without anything additional on them. Fries were very well cooked, and were uniformly good, no stragglers or inferior fries on the bottom. Price was $3.29, and serving size was large for the price. Normally, I don’t mention anything but the fries, but I have been known to occasionally eat other things, and in this case, the onion rings were the best I have ever had. Seriously, they were delicious and perfect in just about every way. Eat them.
