Reviewed April 2nd, 2004

After enjoying a tasty tasty (mmmm was it ever tasty) pizza burger and marveling at the wonderful retro-auto decor in this 1950's garage turned burger/pizza/malt shop, I was eager to make my way towards the back to check out their restroom.

Passing the front end of a beautiful vintage tow truck, the Men's room door caught my eye, an extra narrow (maybe tough to fit through for those over 220 lbs.) door emblazoned with the initials W.C. Behind this facade, however, lies a small, dark and smelly crawlspace which some may call a restroom.

Awkward exposed pipes jutted from the floor and an old roll-a-towel hand dryer hung dramatically dipping its cloth into the garbage bin below. Because of the placement of the urinal, it was necessary to include a second saloon-style door as an extra privacy barrier for unsuspecting diners. A noticably new brushed nickel faucet was a nice touch but failed to make up for the overbearing stench and lack of accessibility.

RESTROOM RATING: 5
