The cafe's own history says it began in 1952 as a Conoco gas station with a five-seat lunch counter, which Fred Hartley remodeled into Fred's Diner in late 1954 before Conrad 'Connie' and Donna Balch bought it; it was closed for a stretch between December 2008 and April 2009 under changing owners. - Kind of place

Checked by hand in October 2026 against a 2025 or 2026 source: the place's own site or menu, or local news. Menus and seasons change, and resort-town places close between seasons, so check with Connie's Cafe & Lounge before you go. Hours, photos and ratings are Apple Maps' own, in its place card.
