Super GemChicago Exclusive Gem✨ Good Vibes$$The whole premise: servers in flashy 1950s costumes who are paid, specifically, to be sarcastic to you, dance on the counters on the hour, and treat "Eat and Get Out!" as an actual house philosophy rather than a joke. David Schwimmer and Mark Ruffalo both worked here before either was famous — Schwimmer as a roller-skating waiter, Ruffalo playing a character named Frankie. The food itself is straightforward diner fare, all-beef burgers and milkshakes, which is fine, because nobody's really coming for the food.
They're coming to get roasted by their server and love every second of it. It's a genuine family outing despite the roasting -- reviewers bring kids as young as 7 and report them begging to come back -- though anyone easily offended by scripted sarcasm should sit this one out.
