This Timeless Ohio Diner Has Been Serving Great Grub Since The 1950s

You may not be able to go back in time, but you can get pretty darn close at Carl’s Townhouse! In business since the 1950s, the vintage diner is known for its classic fare, which includes mouthwatering burgers and all-day breakfast. But it’s not just the grub that makes the eatery so great. There’s also the authentically retro digs, which are sure to transport you right back to your childhood.

When you want to get a taste of the good old days, just head to Chillicothe, which is where you’ll find Carl’s Townhouse.

Serving up a classic diner fare, the esteemed eatery has been satisfying the appetites of hungry patrons since 1951.

The iconic blue-and-white building that houses Carl’s is part of what makes it so special. Famous all on its own, the building was at the New York World’s Fair in 1939, after which it was moved to Chillicothe.

In 2000, after being saved from demolition, the building was moved to its present location. Despite the move and several ownership changes, one thing about Carl’s has remained the same – it doles out some delicious grub.

The hamburgers, which are made with fresh, local beef, are a customer favorite.

Perfectly grilled and bursting with flavor, the hamburgers are sure to satisfy even the most serious of burger aficionados.

And since no burger would be complete without some onion rings or fries, Carl’s serves those, too.

All-day breakfast is standard at any diner, and Carl’s is no different. The early-morning fare is a great way to start the day…or end the day.

The quintessential menu isn’t the only thing about Carl’s that’ll transport you back to the good old days, though.

There’s also the atmosphere. Just like diners from the past, Carl’s boasts a checkered floor, countertop seating, and vinyl booths.

So, are you ready to get a taste of the past with a visit to this timeless diner?

Carl’s Townhouse is open Monday – Thursday, from 6:30 a.m. – 6 p.m., Saturdays, from 6:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., and Sundays, from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. For more information, call (740) 773-1660. You can also visit the Carl’s Townhouse Facebook page.
