Diners are more than just the perfect addition to any road trip or the setting for satiating any late-night snack craving. These American mainstays are also the place to go for some of the best food around, from juicy cheeseburgers and pancakes smothered in syrup to bottomless cups of coffee to keep you awake and warm you up on even the longest night.

Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "best retro diner" in every state, the nostalgic "vintage joints" that harken back to the heyday of American diners.

According to the site, the best retro diner in all of Ohio is DK Diner. This Columbus-area spot is a favorite in the community, serving not just classic diner staples but delicious homemade donuts. DK Diner, which has a 4.6 star rating on Google and more than 2,000 reviews, is located at 1715 W. 3rd Avenue in Grandview Heights.

Here is what LoveFood had to say about this "old-school" spot:

"DK Diner isn't going to win any prizes for its interior design, but it may well win one for its food, if the customer reviews are anything to go by. The eatery is particularly proud of its donuts, which are made fresh daily and come in all kinds of fancy flavors. You could even double down and order a breakfast of DK Pancakes, made with the same batter as the donuts. That sounds like a good morning to us!"
