Imagine a restaurant where the staff strives to give customers the worst service ever. There's a place for that. It's called Karen's Diner and it's heating up all over TikTok.
The platform is rife with videos of folks dining at the old-fashioned haunt where they are served delicious food paired with savage insults.
In fact, the diner's tagline is "Get Ready to Live Out Your Karen Dreams," confirming that everyone's least favorite overprivileged white woman who wants to speak to the manager is the inspiration behind this retro grub spot. Take a look at the diner's logo and you'll even see the angry face emoji donning a Karen haircut.
There is even a social media bit where people take a loved one to the diner without telling them what to expect during this atypical dining experience — and the results are priceless.
For example, one user took their 73-year-old grandma to Karen's Diner where the hostess showed her absolutely no mercy. "What do you want Grandma?" the employee snapped at the elderly woman.
