== List of Diners ==

A diner is a small, inexpensive restaurant found predominantly in the United States and Canada, often serving classic American dishes such as hamburgers, french fries, club sandwiches, and other simple, quick-to-prepare meals. Diners are typically characterized by their casual atmosphere, counter service, and a menu that offers a wide variety of comfort foods.

Characteristics of Diners[edit | edit source]

Diners often feature a distinctive architectural style, including stainless steel exteriors, neon signs, and a long counter with stools. The interior typically includes booths, tables, and a counter where patrons can sit and watch their food being prepared. Many diners are open 24 hours, providing a convenient dining option for late-night meals.

History[edit | edit source]

The concept of the diner originated in the late 19th century with the creation of the lunch wagon, a mobile food service that catered to workers during their lunch breaks. The first stationary diner was established in 1913 by Jerry O'Mahony, who is often credited with creating the first diner car. The popularity of diners grew throughout the 20th century, becoming a staple of American culture.
