LAKEWOOD — Quality food, quick service and a 50s feel has made its way to Lakewood.

Last month, Fifties Grill & Dairy opened its second location at 156 Fairmount Ave., formerly home to Dairy Queen. The family-owned business started under Steve and Mike Jones, brothers and business partners, in 2005 as they opened their first location on Washington Street in Jamestown.

Jodi Jones, wife of Steve, entered the business five years ago and said they had their eye on the property for quite some time.

”We were hoping someday it would happen. Between the traffic and things like that, we just thought it would be a great second location to have. It was already setup for us to come right in,” she said.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of food from specialty burgers, hot dogs and salads to sundaes and milkshakes.

”We have fresh-cooked bacon every day and 100 percent all-natural beef never frozen,” she said. ”We have a lot of ice cream and desserts. We’re fast food, but we’re fresh food at a great price.”

Drivers passing by the restaurant on Fairmount Avenue instantly gather the 50s look. Those who may not have time to enjoy their food inside can order via drive-thru.

The interior of the restaurant features old-fashioned red and white booths, seats and tables — similar to what customers see at the Jamestown location. Jodi said the restaurant caters to families and seniors who enjoy the atmosphere.

Many people are familiar with Fifties Grill & Dairy’s location in Jamestown, having been established for 12 years. Jodi said she thought she’d see the normal customers frequenting their new Lakewood restaurant, but a lot of new faces are coming in to check it out.

”People that never heard of us are coming here and they have never been to our other location,” she said. ”That’s really cool.”

Fifties Grill & Dairy is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
