So do you like a greasy spoon?

So do you like a greasy spoon?
Today I tried to book a restaurant for 4 people which has a set price of about $500 a person without alcohol which is extra (it was full all week in mid-May when family would be in town). But last week I was in a run down bar/restaurant that had old dollar bills all on the walls with messages written in sharpie. We go there every 6 to 8 weeks and there are others like it.
I am happy and at home in both environments but if I had to pick just one it would be the “dive” as we would call it, as in dive bar. They are the best because people are friendly and the food is excellent and the prices reasonable, otherwise why go there. These are also the places we grew up going to.
For me, $500 for one meal seems a bit pricy. But then again, my monthly income is generally around $600-$700, so that might be a factor.
@FatNeville its more of an experience. But yeah, I get it. Good luck my man.
My uncle always said, "I like my spoons like I like my women. Very slippery and with a scent of bacon." And then he said, "I also like eggs in the morning, my wife is dead, and I never learned how to cook." He also continued, "If a coupon is still valid, and you're at the place where they accept them, you should use the coupon."
After that he also said, "Braalalalariargh!" But he had dementia at that point and there was no apparent wisdom left to glean from his speech, at least for us laymen. Yet every time I encounter a greasy spoon, I remember what he said. I remember it well. Well like a well of water, but also like a well of wisdom -- a well of wisdom which included some greasy spoons -- greasy spoons on rainy days and even sunny days as the sun rose up in the morning.
This is something that we often see in American films or streaming platforms in my country, but we don't actually have IT.
Diner food! Love that cholesterol rich, artery clogging, fatty dripping off the fingers goodness.

Too much grease would hurt my stomach. It's a no.
There's a pizza joint here I would maybe consider that way they don't deliver you can't dine in so it's carry out only. They not take credit or debit cards cash or check only but despite that they've been in business for over 60 years and this pizza is the bomb it's called Louie's Pizza in Newark Ohio a true diamond in the rough
Some of the best food can be found in a greasy spoon. Don't go too often though... the food tastes great, but isn't that good for you. I maybe eat at a greasy spoon maybe 2-3 times a years, most often with my buddies from work for lunch.
I like them, but I rarely eat a full breakfast except maybe on a vacation, so I don't go very often. Sometimes I'll go to a diner for lunch or dinner, but maybe twice a year.
Honestly... JUST HONESTLY, I DID thought it was a made-up sex position by Gen Z's.
And i usually go to THOSE kinds of places in my country. The ones i know and like are delicious!
I really get sick (health) in eating grease. This is why I don’t order hamburger. When making meals that has beef in I always use paper towels to get the grease off. The same with pizza I always place a paper towel over the pizza to get the grease off.
I haven't been to one since I was served a cup with red lipstick on it.
Hell yes. I can’t have it all the time but on occasion it can be the heartiest meal
Well there's a coronary and a pot belly waiting to happen. No thanks. I wanna remain among the few old fucks that's actually in shape.
Sure I've struck good deals in the one near me over a pick and mix
Cash in hand for big bits of 9kt, that the way the construction guys are
I don't think I've ever been to one, and I'm an American. I chose the sex position option!
What about this
No, I don’t like grease and I certainly don’t want grease on my spoon because that represent not a clean spoon
Once in a while and I usually get hit on by the men in the restaurant
Used to love going to truck stops for a fry up when I was on the road. Best breakfasts in the world at a greasy spoon.
I used to have a few regular spots. It’s hard to find a good one. I luv a good greasy spoon diner!
I might go when I am on vacation. Bacon and eggs or pancakes. Really good stuff.
Love me a legit vintage diner. Now a truck stop with a glory hole in the bathroom, those are the best.
@RedInnocent69 I need addresses...
Hell yes and I like Alkaselzer and Pepto Bismol too.
sounds gross
