Cheesecake Thursday at The Carlton Diner

What??? Wait… Jen is on an excursion and there wasn’t going to be any cheesecake this week. Well, we couldn’t do that to you and especially since the strawberry crunch cake sold out so quickly. (Yes, I’ll make it again)

So I dug out the old cheesecake recipe that my Godmother always used to make us when we would go over her house for a traditional Italian Sunday dinner. And this cheesecake is traditional, old-style with velvety texture and wonderful flavoring, blending cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, salt, eggs and sugar. It’s baked on top of a simple graham cracker crust made with crushed graham crackers, white sugar, brown sugar and butter. And that’s it! Simple, but it is time consuming as each cheesecake takes 7 hours and 30 minutes from prep to cutting.

I topped the piece in the picture with fresh raspberries, but it is available plain, with a couple of raspberries or a dollop of fruit topping we have for our stuffed French toast. And though it may not be on the same level as Jen’s incredible cheesecakes, we think you will enjoy.

Also, we are serving cabbage rolls today and potato bacon soup as our specials, but you can still get wings today as well as chicken noodle soup.

Have a great day!

It’s not often that I post a picture about a dessert, but here it is. Since Jen is gone for another 2 weeks, we wanted to fill the void left of not having her almost famous cheesecake. Pictured is this week’s cake feature: Strawberry Crunch Cake. I layered both strawberry cake batter and vanilla cake batter in bread pans and baked. They took a little longer than I thought, but after an hour and 5 minutes, they were ready. After cooling, I lightly topped with vanilla icing and strawberry crunch nuggets. If you like strawberry scooter crunch ice cream bars, you’ll definitely enjoy this cake!

Continuing with desserts, in addition to our Apple and cherry pies, we’ve added blueberry pie to the roster this week.

Wings also start this week on Wednesday and will be available every Wednesday starting at 11am.

And we are rolling cabbage today for our homemade cabbage rolls. They will be available on Thursday.

Something New

09/03/2026

It's Cheesecake Thursday folks and for number #117, I've got the perfect transition from summer to fall flavor. (This one is a sleeper hit with the staff, with many surprised how much they like it!)

Maple Blackberry Cheesecake takes one of my favorite flavors of summer (blackberries are amazing!) and pairs it with one of my favorite fall flavors.

I started with a homemade brown sugar shortbread crust. This makes the perfect base for a rich maple cheesecake flavored with real Grade A Amber Canadian Maple Syrup. It's stuffed with jammy pockets of blackberry reduction made with some balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice, to better pair with the maple flavor. The topping is a whipped mascarpone flavored with Bourbon Barrel aged Maple Syrup from NE Ohio and then folded into fresh whipped cream for a fluffy, creamy topping. We finish it off with another spoonful of blackberry reduction.

This is excellent! Even our non maple folks REALLY liked it. The sample piece from our photo was devoured in minutes by staff. 😝

Now, fair warning, we are on cheesecake hiatus the next TWO weeks. I'll be road tripping with Matt for our anniversary as we wrap our "50 by 50" plan. We will be heading to Arkansas to knock off my 50th state and then up to South Dakota to knock off Matt's 50th state. So no voting for the next flavor, I'll come up with something based on a food adventure we have over the next two weeks.

There will still be plenty of freshly baked pies and maybe some other treats while I'm gone. So let your waistbands recover and I'll be back to help you all get ready for sweater weather soon enough. 🥰😘

We are a day late in posting as I had other responsibilities to take care of and just didn’t get to it.

So for this week, our pie flavors are Cherry and Apple. Not sure what cheesecake is coming tomorrow.

Labor Day coming up this weekend, but there are NO CHANGES in hours. We’ve had people ask.

This Week’s Specials

EDIT: Sold Out!

It's Cheesecake Thursday folks and our chocolate and peanut butter fans will be happy with this one!

Chocolate PB Cup Mousse Cheesecake is a mish mash of several things we've tried in the past with some updates as well.

I've made a PB Cheesecake with chocolate mousse and it went over super well. So this time I flip flopped it. I took my crazy rich chocolate cheesecake base and made it with melted milk chocolate instead of melted semi-seeet chocolate. Then I stuffed the batter with mini Reese Cups. The topping is the homemade peanut butter mousse from our Peanut Butter pie and our Elvis pie. It's all in an Oreo crust with some freshly whipped cream and another Reese Cup on top as garnish.

For next week, we start moving into fall, so I want to give you at least one fall option...

Blackberry Maple Cheesecake - this one would be a maple cheesecake with a thick blackberry swirl topped with brown sugar crumbles and maple infused whipped cream.

Or

Raspberry Pistachio - pistachio cheesecake in a pistachio shortbread crust. I'd stuff this with raspberry jam pockets and top it with a whipped mascarpone.

This week at The Carlton Diner

Most of our local schools start this week, though California started last Thursday, so we are soon jumping into fall mode. That may mean an updated menu and some seasonal specials after Labor Day Weekend. And we will restart “Wings on Wednesday” on September 9th, this year going every week.

We know youth football and soccer start Saturday and we want to remind everyone that if you have a party of 5 or more, give us a heads up.

For dessert this week, we have Cherry Pie and Black Raspberry Pie. And of course, Cheesecake Thursday. I can guess the outcome of the vote, but we will let Jen make the official announcement.

This Week’s Specials

Tuesday

Italian Sausage Sandwich with Potato Salad.

Soup: Beef Vegetable

Wednesday

Chicken Alfredo with choice of soup of salad.

Italian Heart Attack Burger- Our fresh burger topped with pepperoni, fried Cheese Sticks, provolone cheese and marinara sauce. Served with potato salad or your choice of side.

Soup: Chicken Tortellini

Thursday

Country Fried Steak Sandwich served with choice of side.

Smothered Chicken - Grilled Chicken breast topped with bacon crumbles, sautéed mushrooms and a white cheddar cream sauce. Served with 2 sides.

Soup- Potato Bacon

Friday

It's Cheesecake Thursday folks and we are still sitting firmly in summer flavor territory despite today's rainy fall weather. 😝

Last week's vote winner was Strawberry Lemonade Blondie Cheesecake and this one is already a staff favorite!

We used our standard lemon cheesecake in a Nilla Wafer crust, but we added tons of chunks of strawberry lemonade Blondies and pockets of homemade strawberry jam. It's topped with out house made lemon curd and garnished with a swirly of whipped cream and more fresh strawberry sauce.

It tastes like front porch sitting with your favorite person on a summer evening. 🥰🍓🍋

For next week, your choices are either:

Mango Coconut Shortbread - Coconut cheesecake stuffed with mango swirl and chunks of mango in a toasted coconut shortbread crust topped with whipped cream and mango sauce.

Or

Chocolate PB Mousse Cheesecake - Chocolate cheesecake stuffed with Reese Cups in an Oreo crust topped with PB Mousse, fresh whipped cream and PB and Chocolate drizzle
