Was that the Sherwood Diner as well? Thinking like late 70’s.
No, the Sherwood Diner was further north on Rte. 222, across the street from the Cherokee Ranch homes. It’s still there with a new facade and a new name.

No,the Belleview was where Sheets is today.
100% Correct
Wow, forgot about the Belleview. Remember is now.
It was on Rt 61 and Bellevue. It is now the Rt 61 Diner. The one on 222 was Dempsey’s across from Carole’s aka Burger King. Dempsey’s is now Sheetz.

I think the burgers cost only 15 cents. My mom liked Kreska’s, which is now Temple Family Restaurant at Business 222 and Tuckerton.

Ah, the Bellevue Diner. I remember it well. Some great memories from that place.
