"Diner-style" refers to a casual dining experience often characterized by a retro aesthetic, typically featuring booths, a counter with stools, and a menu that includes classic American comfort food. Common offerings include burgers, fries, milkshakes, and breakfast items served all day. The atmosphere is usually informal, making it a popular spot for families and friends. This style of dining originated in the United States in the early 20th century, with many diners designed to resemble train cars. They often emphasize quick service and affordability, appealing to a wide range of customers, from locals to travelers seeking a hearty meal.
