Our story
A Pelham kitchen with a lot of history.
Pelham Diner got its start under Kevin Lather, who built it on real Alabama cooking and service you can count on. Today it’s run by Toni Darby — she worked the floor here for years, knows every regular’s order, and keeps the old recipes coming out of the kitchen just the way folks remember them.
When you walk in, you’re not a customer. You’re family.
