The Dining Car

Dear superb staff and cherish customers,
After 63 incredible years in the diner business we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your unwavering support and loyalty. It has been a privilege to serve you, your family and friends all these years and we are filled with bittersweet emotions as we officially announce our retirement from The Dining Car.

To our dedicated staff, your hard work and dedication have been the heart and soul of this diner. We are forever grateful for your tireless efforts and your unwavering commitment to excellence.

To our loyal customers, you have been more than patrons, you have been Dining Car family. Your smiles have filled the diner with warmth and laughter. There has been hilarity and heartbreak, lessons and fellowship, and it has been an honor to be part of your lives and memories.

As we close this chapter and say goodbye, please know that the memories we have created together will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we thank you for being part of our journey.

If you are ever in Delaware County, please stop by and visit us at the Apple Walnut Café, and/or at the Apple Walnut Market.

Now, we invite you to join us and welcoming the new owner, Brandon and his business partner, Ali. They are excited to continue many of The Dining Car traditions and to share with you some of their own.

Please like and follow their page “The New Dining Car”.

With love and gratitude, Nancy, Joe and Judy
