This diner is the breakfast place for many Chapel Hill people. Lunchtime hamburgers and other diner food make it popular at lunchtime. At supper, the meatloaf plate is their signature dish. And if there are children jumping up and down in a booth or riding the stools, they’re probably my grandchildren enjoying one of their favorite places.

They make the best milkshakes at the 501 diner, and you can sit on a bar stool at a shiny metal counter. Take a trip down memory lane here!
