Diners are a true-blue American institution and the absolute best places to find home-cooked comfort food. While we see modern ones popping up across Louisiana all the time, there’s something to be said for the nostalgic feel of those reflecting the diner heyday of the 1950s. Whether you grew up in diners like this or simply remember them from television, this unique eatery will delight you in every way. It’s one of those friendly establishments where you’re greeted by name and feel like one of the family. And the food? Off the charts!

Nestled in the heart of Cajun Country, Hub City Diner has been a Lafayette favorite for decades.

While Hub City isn't a true relic of the '50s (it was opened in 1990), the owners have done everything possible to give it the homey feel of an old-school diner.
