- The main building, with a poured concrete floor, porcelain exterior wall panels and plate glass windows on glazed tile footings.
- The rooftop and street-side neon signs, and the painted wooden sign overlooking the parking lot’s southern end.
- The curb service window and counter.
- The kitchen cook line, stainless steel kitchen counters and tile kitchen floor.

A Springfield Institution
Built in 1962, and its owner, Gary Leonard, has made it a point to keep the retro-looking restaurant looking spiffy. It’s one of two surviving restaurants with the standard design from the 1950s and ’60s. The rest of them have either been altered or razed.
