Bel's Diner

Bel's Diner is a locally owned diner at 2600 S Martin Luther King Jr Blvd in Longview, listed by Uniquely Longview magazine among the city's established, locally owned American restaurants. A neighborhood diner does something a chain restaurant cannot: it becomes part of the daily rhythm of the streets around it. Breakfast regulars, lunch crowds and people who order the same thing every single week are what keep a place like this running, and the owner is usually somewhere on site rather than in a regional office three states away. Bel's sits on South MLK Boulevard, well away from the loop and the mall traffic, which is exactly where the best plate-lunch food in East Texas tends to hide.
