Corvette Diner to Re-Open in Pt. Loma

Hillcrest's Landmark 50's style Corvette Diner will be opening its doors in July at Liberty Station in Pt. Loma. The move was due to a lack of parking in the Hillcrest business district after the redevelopment of the area in the early 80's (and an expired lease agreement obviously). The new location, which is located inside the former Naval Training Center Officer's Club (2965 Historic Decatur Road) offers more than 1,000 free parking spaces within two blocks of the restaurant.

The new diner is across from the Sail-Ho golf course (awesome...I can drink milkshakes while dad does his thing on the golf course) and is twice the size of the original site (seating will, however be limited to 300 patrons). The same menu will be feature including “p-nut” burgers and milk shakes, home-style meatloaf and the popular macaroni and cheese...and never fear, the traditional flinging of straws and bubble gum and impromptu singing by the “campy” waitresses in bouffant hairdos will also continue.

The Corvette Diner’s grand opening is scheduled for early July and will feature a car show by the Corvette Club, bands and entertainment for kids of all ages. I, for one, am so happy that a San Diego landmark has been recreated because I've had birthday parties there, girlfriend outtings, and its just a throw back to the American Diner. I am psyched that I'll ge to take my son there and that no matter how life moves along that there will be a place for Bazooka Joe bubble gum, thick milkshakes, and burgers!!
