I grew up on making my own chocolate malts at home in the eighties, and sometimes I mixed it up with some Cookies-n-Cream ice cream, and the malted mix my Mom kept in the cupboard. Twice in February i found myself on Bonanza Street in Walnut Creek at the end of my workday, and I popped in for a nostalgic milkshake fix, and got just what I needed prepared by a bright-smiling server who realized the importance of my transaction. I have also enjoyed the morning Steak & Egg special twice since seeing the banner in their window. These are my reasons for going. But if you are a Mom in Walnut Creek or surrounding area, then here is a piece of information for you. Each time I stopped in during the week, I witnessed a counter FULL of Mom's and kids (some in PJ's) snackng on their grilled cheeses, chicken fingers & french fries, just before (what looked like) bedtime. I have a sister with three kids in Detroit, and she confirmed that this type of restaurant is a GOLDMINE for Mom's with mouths and the need to entertain and distract. But don't take my word for it, check it out!
Pros: Milkshakes, Burgers, Late-Night Hours, Steak & Egg Special
