Industry Review – Phantom Gourmet
The 5 & Diner is a national chain that opened its New England location in Worcester, Ma in 2006, which happens to be known as Diner City. The motto is ‘Food, Fun, and Fifties’… and that’s exactly what you get. The outside glows with bright neon and perfectly polished chrome. The inside is filled with malt shop memories. And the plates are packed with the kind of food you thought you just couldn’t get anymore. There’s a giant double-decker burger known as The Big Bopper. This thing is so big, you just might have to unhinge your jaw to get your mouth around it.
Bob Watson, owner of the 5 & Diner: “I’ve not seen a lot of people finish The Big Bopper, but I have seen a lot of people buy The Big Bopper.”
If you think that’s big, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The Cobb Salad could feed a family of four.
The New Yorker is a corned beef sandwich bigger than the Big Apple. And King Kong’s Chicken Fried Steak may be the only meal that really could tame the wild beast. But the biggest, and most popular item on the menu at the 5 & Diner has to be the Cadillac Meat Loaf. Super thick slices are topped with chopped bacon, sauteed mushrooms, and crispy onion straws. And it’s all served with mashed potatoes, gravy, and veggies.
Tim Sheehan, VP and CFO of the 5 & Diner: “It’s comfort food. Everyone’s mother made meatloaf, I know my mom did and I kind of grew up on it, so it’s basically like Mom’s meatloaf.”
Mom might approve the meatloaf, but she’s going to have some reservations when it comes to The Francheeze. It’s a hot dog, stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, topped with more cheese, and served on a grilled buttered bun. For dessert, there are thick rich milkshakes. Each one is meticulously made, using real whipped cream. Tim Sheehan, VP and CFO of the 5 & Diner: “Bar none, it’s the best milkshake I’ve ever had, and I’m a milkshake guy.”
Of course the food is only part of the reason folks are flocking to the 5 & Diner. The restaurant looks and feels like a time capsule straight from the 1950’s. There are working jukeboxes at the tables… Memorabilia covering the walls… And all the waitress wear fifties style uniforms, complete with coin changers, and name tags.
Bob Watson, owner of the 5 & Diner: “All of our servers have a name tag, and in all cases, it’s not their name. As a matter of fact, my name tag is ‘The Fonz’. I don’t have it on today, but that’s the name tag that I have.”
Like any good diner, the 5 & Diner keeps prices low. Most sandwiches are under eight dollars, and dinners cost about eleven. And by the way, they also serve breakfast all day long.
Worcester may be Diner City, but the city has never seen one like the 5 & Diner, a Phantom Gourmet…Hidden Jewel.
