You spelled "Liver and onions" wrong.
That’s ok for the livestock.

Can’t think of anything Diners have the best of, other than hours open, and many are now closing early post covid.

Ok, got one-
Dessert selection. (They could be terrible)

Used to hit one that had hand dipped corndogs; like the State Fair would have.

Any day any time I 'm in for these.

Country style breakfast. If they don't have good sausage gravy, I'm out.

A good diner has a great hamburger.
Love a good diner burger with grilled onions and american cheese.


As for the Liver & Onions...The diner where I waited tables in high school had amazing liver & onions, served with home made mashed potatoes.

But if you're saying "Diners always have the best coutry style breakfast", doesn't that imply that they DO have good sausage gravy?
There are good diners and bad diners. The question is flawed, assuming ALL diners have the best x.

In pre-Internet days, I read an article about the best "road food" in the East. We found some great diners and small restaurants in that article.

Back in the day there were many great mom & pop diners along the Interstates and the truckers knew the best ones. Now not so much.

+1 Usually pancakes/omelets are winners.

Haven't found good hash browns yet; always underdone, even though looks great on the outside.
You have to ask them to deep fry the home fries and you will be fine.
