There’s no denying diners offer a level of comfort that only comes from settling into a cozy booth, being greeted by your favorite server and ordering “the usual.”

At the heart of these unpretentious eateries is the ease of knowing there’s always a seat at the table regardless of who you are, where you come from and what you have on. It’s a dose of nostalgia for generations of local families, a place of refuge for hungry out-of-town visitors, and a daily stop for regulars sipping their morning coffee at the counter while catching up on the latest news.

On the whole, diners can feel like a second home — whether it’s your first or 1000 th time stepping through its doors.

So, where do you go out to eat when you’re looking for those local hometown feels?
