Everybody's reaction was the same‥ “This isn't a XXXXXXX diner.”. > The Beauty and Allure of … the Diner. [1] All I can say is that the Boca Diner isn't. Neither is Lester's Diner or the L&J Diner. The Clock is. The Starlite Diner [2] is (with two locations in Moscow [3]). Denny's [4] isn't. It's a place to go when there are NO other places to go at 3:00 am in the morning.
