What's Happening in Greenfield, WI…

Route 76, a new 1950s-themed diner along 7510 W. Layton Ave, held its grand opening on November 4.

The event included special deals on malts for a year, special pricing on burgers-and-fries meals, and more. The Bobby Way Band performed 1950s classics throughout the opening celebration. Michael Neitzke, Greenfield Mayor, told the Sentinel that he thought every city should have a diner.

Omar Hamden, owner of the diner, says that while he was not alive in the 1950s, he loves everything about the era. He named the diner Route 76 as a reference to Route 66, and hopes that people will drive their classic cars over to the diner and to take in what the restaurant has to off.

The décor features a classic black, white, and red color combo, with old records and custom canvases around the walls honoring Grease, James Dean, Chantilly Lace, and Elvis. The diner has a replica jukebox and a 1953 Dodge Meadowbrook out front waiting to be restored.

While the diner itself is fashioned after a different era, the menu is up to date with a number of different burger and sandwich options in its ‘From The Future’ section. When restaurants open, they often choose poster printing and other graphic design options to make their brand stand out.

Route 76 will be open seven days a week.
