Abstract Roller-skating carhops, music from the '50s and '60s played over loudspeakers and homemade root beer give customers at Ardy and Ed's Dive-In a sense of nostalgia for a type of restaurant that has all but disappeared from the American scene. Celebrating its 50th year in business, the small orange-and-brown restaurant on S. Main St. across from Lake Winnebago has not only survived against national franchise rivals such as McDonald's and Hardee's, but also has thrived and become an Oshkosh institution. "We are determinedly old-fashioned," said co-owner Steve Davis, who began working at Ardy and Ed's in 1977. "The last thing we would ever think of doing would be to change."
