Editor’s Note: Since the publication of this article, the Retro Diner has permanently closed.

Most of our diners around Kansas don’t have the super-retro feel of 50s-style diners like Spangles, but that’s probably because Kansas has always been a quieter state. This retro diner in small-town Kansas might not be flashy, but you’ll feel like you stepped into the past with their amazing service and small-town Kansas vibes.

Welcome to Retro Diner, a 50s style restaurant hiding out in Leavenworth, Kansas that is serving up our classic hospitality with standard country fare.
