Goober’s Diner was a classic retro stainless steel diner on 2 levels that seats 80 people.  It arrived on flatbed trucks from Atlanta after being assembled there and then broken apart for shipping.  The construction took about 2 years and it opened in late 2020.  It was put in place next to Goober’s Garage where owner Vance Kershner keeps his car collection.  Co-owner Tom Hannum has many years of restaurant experience so you can stop in for a meal and then roam around a huge collection of classic cars.   They created some outdoor seating in the parking lot in front of both so parking is as you can find it on the street.  Inside you’ll find stools at a counter, red booths, some free-standing tables and lots of red tiles and light fixtures.  They have an elevator as well as stairs to the second floor so I also snapped a photo up there.  Lots of stainless steel and the curved ceiling give it an old diner feel.  Two bakery cases were at the entry as this diner has a pastry chef.  Open daily, they serve all-day breakfast as well as lunch and dinner (Wed-Sat) but only after 11:00 am.  The food was fine and the service was fast but I think I liked roaming through the cars as much as breakfast.
