We had two local diners around here, Orchid Diner and Green Diner. I ate at Orchid once in junior high school and never again. Green was good but the last time we ate there, the waitress was upset that we didn’t speak Portuguese. She asked us what language we spoke and I said English. Mom jokingly said Yiddish (though it’s true) and the waitress asked what that was. Another waitress said “they’re Jew dogs” and the original moron yelled at us to leave as”she ain’t bringin’ no food ta Jews.” We ate there maybe once a month or less .
I’m trying to think of gas station diners around here but can’t think of any right now. The Mattapoisett Diner was bigger than most but gas was at the other end of the lot and a separate building . My mom isn’t from the area but I’ll ask her on Friday when she visits me.
We left and went to Davy.’s Locker and never went back again.

Didn’t hear it was for sale but no parking. the Dogg House across the street, a Chinese place across the street and a Dunkin in a gas station next door. Used to be a meeting place over coffee but the lack of parking, less traffic and more issues had people moving on.
Shawmut Diner is by the airport but had a dirty reputation.
No liver,, though. I did ask about liver in gas stations when an older nurse came by and she said they are down south!
I guess for lazy people and cheap people, diners provided a service. Cooks couldn’t afford their own restaurant or cooks had a ‘past’ and no one would hire them. They had talent for heating frozen food and making American Chop Suey and burgers. Today people would rather have good food with a price since credit cards are their form of cash.
