What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Charlie Parker's Diner during the 'Regional Favorites' episode, spotlighting the restaurant's breakfast plates and classic diner fare. The diner sits on North Street in Springfield, Illinois, and has built a loyal local following for its all-day breakfast menu. A direct check of the restaurant's own website on 2026-09-08 returned the message 'Yes, We're Open,' listing hours of Monday through Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., matching the phone number, 217-241-2104, shown in the original DDD listing.
