One not too far away called Winks, I will get there this year, hopefully. So not totally OT.
Today I was close to this little burger stand called Bob's Hamburger. For $4.75 you get a real hot fresh burger that beats any of the fast food joints.

Dave:
I miss the family owned restaurants ...was one in Chugwater ,Wy. that was also a gas station … had a sign that said " eat here and get gas " … food was good and was far from other places back in the late 1960's … was well worth the risk … always an optimist...Gene French

Chugwater, WY was voted to have the best tasting water in Wyoming. "Next stop is the national competition in Washington, D.C. February 2018".
I haven't heard the results.

Elmer Spelunker kept his herd on the north fork of the South Chugwater, which gives
Chugwater Lake that delightful scent and tang of urine. Always a tourist's delight, and
available in pint, quart, or half gallon fruit jars from Ma Frombacher's back porch.
Might I suggest Scotty's, next time you're in Idaho Falls ? The George Jetson ambiance
is out of this world ! The ice cream sundae at Stockman's is enough to feed 12 !

Re: OT Greasy Spoons and Drive ins
The Dover Diner had a sign on the roof: Eat here or we'll both starve. Building looked like a broad side ranch with a full porch across the front. When it was sold they tore the building down carefully revealing a rail road car type diner. It was carted off.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

Re: OT Greasy Spoons and Drive ins
Don G. I got your PM notification, but had no PM.
To answer your question, Bob's is on East Av. Just north of I-77. I don't think you can get off 77 going S there...
They have a good breakfast too !!
