Half the fun is the drive out to Gaines Diner! Travel on Route 20 South, and then veer left to stay on Route 20. Drive a few miles, then turn left onto Gaines Road by the Arlington Mini Mart. Follow Gaines Road for about 3-4 miles…. You might think you missed it, but just when you might give up, you’ll see the Gaines Diner on the left, with a white fence around it!
