Description

The Courtesy Diner, like the Dude, abides. Whether you want a hearty breakfast to soak up last night's drinks, a late-night slinger to forestall the morning hangover, the best fast-food hamburger in town or a fix of cheap coffee and jukebox blues to stir your brooding soul, you'll find it here - just like you would have found it twenty, thirty, even forty years ago. Best of all, the Courtesy Diner is not an attic for Americana, and it isn't some kind of shrine to the working class; it's a working restaurant (and be prepared to pay with cash).

Then after waking you up by playing the TV too loud and slamming the bathroom door whenever he goes in there to puke, Hangover has the cojones to ask what's for breakfast. Don't punch him in the face. Take him to Courtesy Diner and stuff his maw with black coffee and a slinger. The grease bomb will soak up the last few drops of... More »

  • 2003 | Best Diner

    There are certain things you come to expect in a diner that you might not tolerate anywhere else. A true diner is apt to be one big smoking section, and there won't be anything on the menu (certainly not the chili cheese fries) that won't clog an artery. Carcinogens and cholesterol boosters aside, you get a lot at a diner that you can't get anywhere else. They're open around the clock, and they serve breakfast all the time. The waitresses treat you like a regular even if you aren't one, and... More »
