Get ready to treat your taste buds to the best food in town. The Dinor is a modern rekindling of Pennsylvania’s popular and historic Dinor and the Alley Cat (now the Barn), the oldest restaurant in Greenville. This fine diner features contemporary classics by Chefs Stacy, Jessica, and Willard. Chef Will and his wife JoAnn are the owners, and he is the main chef of the Dinor. One of Chef Will’s main focuses is utilizing unique partnerships with local businesses and parlaying that into classic dinner menus options that are equal parts creative and nostalgic. According to reports, the Dinor’s menu features a contrast of flavors, showcasing comfort food and innovative takes on diner classics. The Dinor is looking for a liquor license so they can offer classic cocktails and feature a full-service bar to complement the food offerings. This mid-century aesthetic diner features classic diner booths and breakfast bar seating in order to mix old and new elements inside the restaurant. JoAnn, owner and interior designer for the Dinor, reported that given the restaurant’s history, it was important to both her and her husband, Willard to preserve as much of the original diner as possible. The Greenville Dinor is located at 7 South Mercer Street, Greenville, PA. David “Doc” Sankey, former owner of the Greenville Dinor, told me the original diner was a 1924 diner from Silver Creek, New York. It came by rail and then pulled by a team of horses on its wheels. Known then as the Greenville Dining Car, the dining car was scrapped in August 1966 for a diner only a few years newer. The Dinor has been expanded a few times until today, the only evidence of its diner origins is one of its original old wheels displayed by the owners on the sidewalk. Now displayed in the shrubs at the back of the Waugh House Museum in Greenville. Doc Sankey also sent “Greenville Dinor Acquires Glass Bar, Plans Expansion,” The Record-Argus (March 19, 1969), and a full-page ad with the diner’s history from the same paper, (Sept. 25, 1972), (from Seen any good diners lately by Brian A.
