neighborhood diner
Corner greasy spoon
A neighborhood diner is a small, unpretentious restaurant serving simple American food—eggs, burgers, coffee, pie—typically to local regulars rather than destination seekers.
The term evokes modest prices, familiar faces, and a casual atmosphere where waitresses know your order: We grabbed breakfast at the neighborhood diner before work.
