Stopping by AS Classics Diner, tucked away in the suburbs near Komazawa Olympic Park, is like hopping on a shuttle back in time to ’60s-era America. Besides the retro interior, the menu boasts 19 varieties of burgers, including such popular items as the Loco burger (topped with avocado, fried egg and secret sauce); the Baked Apple burger (garnished with an apple cooked in cinnamon and Calvados cider); the Hot Mexican burger (with salsa and avocado); and the ASC Special “Hot Rod” burger (smothered in cheese, fried egg, avocado, home-cured bacon and chili). And of course, all the burgers come with a pile of delicious fries. What really sets this diner apart, though, is the focus on freshness. The patties are made with Australian beef and topped with the freshest vegetables, and the housemade buns use all-natural yeast. If you’re not in the mood for a burger, AS Classics Diner also offers burritos (takeout/delivery only), baby back ribs, salads and great coffee drinks, plus 15 kinds of sandwiches like smoked turkey and cheese (¥1,155), roast beef (¥1,050) and avocado (¥997), on your choice of bread. The outdoor seating area is popular with dog owners, and a delivery service is available 10am-6pm.
