The original establishment was famous for its pies which were for many years baked by Theresa Redding.[3]
The diner was founded in 1951 by Elmer and Grace Paxton for their son Lee who was returning from military service. They bought a Mountain View prefabricated stainless steel diner (serial no. 301) and had it fitted to their house, which contains the kitchen.[4][5]
After a series of inspection failures and dwindling business, the diner was leased in June 2018 to Teddy Petropoulos, who made improvements and re-opened the establishment the following month as Vicky's Diner, naming it after his youngest daughter.[7][8][9] The diner ceased operations on August 3, 2019.[10]
After reopening as US 30 Diner in September 2019,[11] the property was again cited for several health code violations in November,[12][13] and with a follow-up inspection given 90 days to "obtain or register with a food safety certification course".[14]
In June 2021, the property was reported to have been sold within the prior three months to two buyers. The building was identified as having 2,934 square feet (272.6 m2) on 1.34 acres (5,400 m2) of land.[15]
