“We are so excited for her to enjoy retirement, travel and her grandchildren,” a statement on the diner’s website says. “Please come visit before we close towards the end of July. It’s true what they say ‘All good things come to an end.’”

The diner predates Linda, having served up breakfast favorites since the 1950s boasting fast, friendly service with a smile.
