Baby Boomers isn't just an eatery for those of the "boomer" generation. This breakfast and lunchtime spot attracts people of all ages thanks to its friendly and speedy service. Lunch is served in five to ten minutes and the menu options are quite like those that you would eat at home. The daily "Blue Plate Specials" include hearty, heaping plates of hot turkey with mashed potatoes and meat loaf. If you aren't still living with your parents, pop into Baby Boomers for a meal that is reminiscent of your mother's cooking.
