We’ve got chills, they’re multiplying! This totally retro diner in Ontario will send you straight back to the '50s with their vintage decor and diner menu classics. Some of the meals even come served in the cutest mini cars, because who needs plates?

Located less than an hour from Toronto in Oakville, Ontario, Gazebo Burgers & Grill is a complete blast from the past.

You’ll feel like you’re on the set of Riverdale as you mow down on burgers, shakes, and other greasy spoon staples here.

And, with most meals not exceeding $17, you can dine out on a dime as well. 

Now, when it comes to dishes, we’ve seen food served on some pretty unusual surfaces in the past. Like this Canadian spot that swapped out plates for VHS tapes, or this Toronto gem that serves milk tea in a perfume bottle. 

But mini retro cars might be one of the cutest serving vehicles we’ve ever seen. 

The cars are only for items on the kids' menu, which includes burgers, fries, hot dogs, chicken fingers, grilled cheese, and cheese sticks. But who's to say you can't get in touch with your inner child for the sake of the 'gram?

Maybe we don’t have the most refined pallet, but the kids’ menu is looking better and better.

The diner is open for dine-in service but if you live in the area, you can also find them on SkipTheDishes.

And don’t worry, you still get the car when you order takeout. 

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then you’re going to love the dessert menu here as well.

Like any good diner, Gazebo Burgers has an excellent selection of cakes, but the regular and red velvet funnel cakes seem to be a fan favourite here. 

Are you drooling yet? Because we certainly are.

So grab your most nostalgic friend and check out this blast from the past ASAP.
