The Best Diner Restaurants

The original diners were railroad dining cars that were no longer in service. These cars were a cheap building to turn into a restaurant. Food preparation is against one wall and viewed by customers seated on stools at the serving counter. Diners provide a standardized type of food that is consistent from one diner to another. Breakfast is available all day and hamburgers, french fries and grilled food are traditional American food items on the menu. Coffee is always available and desserts often consist of pies or cheesecake.
