Definition of diner

dinernoun

quán ăn

/ˈdaɪnə(r)//ˈdaɪnər/

The origin of the word "diner" is often attributed to the early 20th-century roadside eateries in the United States. These establishments were often small, informal restaurants or cafes that served simple meals and refreshments to travelers and locals alike. The term "diner" is believed to have originated from the Victorian-era term "diner-out," which referred to taking a meal away from home. As the concept of the diner evolved, the term stuck and became synonymous with these types of establishments. In the early days, diners were often converted railroad cars or trailers that were parked along highways and served as convenient stops for travelers. The word "diner" captured the idea of a quick, no-frills meal on-the-go, and it has since become an iconic symbol of American road culture. Today, diners come in many shapes and sizes, from vintage-style eateries to modern, avant-garde restaurants, but the core idea of the diner – a welcoming, affordable spot for a quick bite – remains the same.
