The 63-year-old Modern Snack Bar in Aquebogue already has a name for itself among locals, but it is now known across America after travelandleisure.com named it as one of the best diners in America.

This month, travelandleisure.com posted a list of America's top 12 diners and Modern Snack Bar — the only diner named on Long Island — came in at number 7 just behind diners in San Francisco and Vermont.  

The diner has deep roots in the community, opening in 1950 with only six stools and a hamburger cost 25 cents. It now seats 125 with a menu featuring mashed turnips, lemon meringue pie, roast duckling, sauerbraten, roast turkey, pork, and lobster salad is a beloved tradition for scores of diners.
