What  is it about a diner that draws people in?

Why are people attracted to diners? I am not sure , here are my thoughts

1.  The comfortable booths

2.   The large portion

3.  Casual dressing allowed

4.  Some are open earlier than other eateries and close much later

5.  Good place to meet a client

I don't think it is for the jukebox music, I never see anyone putting in a coin to play a selection.  

I would love to hear your ideas on why are people attracted to diners,

Yeah, It's really the one consistent place that you can always get food at any hour of the day.

Good morning Jennifer. They are slowly disappearing and remind us of the past! That is the attraction. Enjoy your day!

I think some of it is the comfort of remembering when you went there as a kid.

I love "Diners", especially the ones with old Diner Charm and those waitresses that remind me of " gum chewing flow with a pencil sticking out of her hair bun".

Good morning Jennifer. This is my thinking: it is easy and comfortable and reminiscent of a time gone by.

Jennifer most diners have great food, and they make you feel like you are stepping back in time.  Many people like to experience that.

Laura so true.

Wayne a diner is such a connection to the past.

Debbie we do like to recall fond memories of childhood, especially the places visited.
