diner
Booth and counter
A diner is a person who dines, but the word more often names a type of American restaurant—informal, inexpensive, serving simple fare like burgers, eggs, and coffee.
The classic diner has a long counter with stools, booths along the windows, and operates long hours: We stopped at a diner for breakfast at 3 a.m.
