The San Bernardino Sun has a nice article about the Magic Lamp Inn restaurant, which has been serving diners on old Route 66 in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., since 1955.
The Magic Lamp is fish and chips and a classic Cobb salad. It’s escargot with garlic butter and Marsala wine, French onion soup with a Swiss cheese crust, Chateaubriand for two and Niman Ranch stuffed pork chops.
It’s tried and true, Vernola said, an old friend aging well.
After 53 years, he says there’s still plenty of magic in the lamp.
“They don’t build them like this anymore,” he said.
