It served its purpose, which was to lubricate Ms. Karen and I ordered a chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio from Northern California, the driest white wine they offered. All around us, people were ordering burgers, fries, hot fudge Sundaes, and pizza. Theater-goers can order off the menu, which is basically an abbreviated version of Little Anthony’s menu. A container of popcorn and a menu was already on our table when we were seated. Theater seating is up to 4 chairs at small individual tables. The ticket window is just down the hallway that connects Little Anthony’s Diner with the Gaslight Theatre. Gaslight TheatreĪfterward, we didn’t have to go far to pick up our tickets at “Will Call”. We noticed that many of the other diners had ordered off the burger and milkshake side of the menu and all seemed to have the happy expression of sublime satisfaction. I suspect that when we return, and we will, we will do better if we order burgers, fries, and a shake or ice cream Sundae. Was the Star right? Is this the best pizza Tucson has to offer? No. In part because I was still working on our List of the 10 Best Pizza Places In Tucson, and in part because Tara mentioned that Little Anthony’s pizza was named Best Pizza by the Arizona Daily Star, I ordered my typical small pizza half pepperoni, half sausage & black olive. Having been seated, Tara introduced herself and said she would be our server.

Just the music from the jukebox was pure nostalgia. Little Anthony’s Diner is the place we elders should bring our grandchildren and great-grandchildren so they can experience the world we knew at the Dawn of the Age of Rock ‘n Roll. Little Anthony’s is a true 1950’s diner, unless you consider that not even the parents of the sprightly young waitresses in their short red pinstripe outfits were born until long after the ‘50’s had become ancient history. Walking into the Diner, we were immediately reminded of Ruby’s Diner at Newport Beach, CA where we lived for many years. We set out from home early so we could dine before the show at Little Anthony’s Diner, the restaurant attached to the theatre. However, when we discovered that the Gaslight offers a Sunday 3pm matinee, we decided to risk the nosebleed. As “Western Tucsonans” we take the chance of getting a nosebleed if we accidentally wander east of Campbell. Second, we live in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains. A 7pm performance is just a little late for us. Two challenges prevented us going any sooner. Karen & I had wanted to attend a performance at the Gaslight Theatre for years. If you dine at Gaslight Diner (which we hope you do if you’re ever in the great city of Louisville), you can enjoy a virtual check in experience compliments of NextME (and Seth).Ghostblasters Susie (Tarreyn Van Slyke) Wally (Jake Chapman), & Zack (Mike Yarema). They’re also updated with their spot in line so everyone stays calm and collected. While waiting for a table, guests can now browse their updated menus, promotions and visit their social media. And that is something that customers remember.Īlways building on their customer base, Gaslight uses NextMe’s Virtual Waiting room to boost and drive engagement. What matters is his guests don’t have to wait in line. They can even take a nice, socially-distant walk around town while they wait. His guests can now check-in and wait for their table in their cars. After placing NextMe’s Widget on his site, Seth’s customers don’t have to wait in line or out in the cold Louisville winters. For one, he’s made checking-in as easy as possible for his guests. Seth Boone has placed a strong emphasis on customer relations and service throughout Gaslight. And they’re serious about engaging with their community. With a retro diner aesthetic and a savvy online presence, Gaslight Diner opened in mid-November to better meet the breakfast-food cravings of their neighborhood. In the case of Seth Boone and his team in Louisville, they did just that. With some restaurants proving to be less-than ideal for this new culinary landscape, experienced restaurateurs have shifted their focus, rebranded, and incorporated tech to better meet the needs of their customers. And the Covid pandemic has created a ton of problems for the restaurant industry this year. Most of the restaurants we love are small businesses.
