A Palo Alto institution since 1923, the Peninsula Creamery is a classic American diner — vinyl booths, counter seating, and a menu that hasn't strayed far from burgers, milkshakes, and pie. The milkshakes are genuinely good; the patty melt is the thing to order. There's a second location inside the Stanford Shopping Center, but the Emerson Street original has the right atmosphere. Expect a wait on weekend mornings.
