Diners are more than just the perfect addition to any road trip or the setting for satiating any late-night snack craving. These American mainstays are also the place to go for some of the best food around, from juicy cheeseburgers and pancakes smothered in syrup to bottomless cups of coffee to keep you awake and warm you up on even the longest night.

Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "best retro diner" in every state, the nostalgic "vintage joints" that harken back to the heyday of American diners.

Here is what LoveFood had to say about this "old-school" spot:

"Located inside a classic Googie (read: Space Age) building dating back to 1964, Arizona's Welcome Diner is the grooviest restaurant around. The Southern-inspired menu includes a noteworthy range of fried chicken and biscuits dishes, as well as modern additions like jackfruit po'boys and fried green tomato sandwiches."
