A traveling pop-up diner is coming to St. Louis, serving up burgers and fries with a side of sass.
Karen’s Diner demands that customers “sit down and shut up” at the immersive pop-up shop, happening at an undisclosed location on Gravois Avenue this September. One of just 10 scheduled stops in the United States, the dining concept is billed as serving “great burgers and very rude service.”

The atmosphere will be reminiscent of the 1950s, with plenty of bright pinks, purples, and blues. Expect turbulent service from waiters dressed in vintage outfits, as well as guest appearances from the manager, billed as “the most Karen Karen ever.” (Read more about the term ‘Karen’ here.)
The menu at Karen’s Diner consists of handcrafted burgers, fries, shakes, and cocktails. Vegetarians and vegans can also expect plenty of options. (See the options here.)
Early-bird tickets are available for $15, which will be deducted from the bill at the end of the meal. Bookings are required, and there are no refunds. Minors will only be allowed to visit before 6 p.m. For more information, click here.
