luncheonette
Casual counter restaurant
A luncheonette is a small, informal restaurant serving light meals and snacks, typically at a counter.
The term evokes mid-twentieth-century American diners with stools, soda fountains, and simple fare like sandwiches and soup: We stopped at a luncheonette for coffee and pie.
The word has a nostalgic quality, as most such establishments have disappeared.
