Since opening in 1949, our diner has been a cornerstone of the community, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious comfort food that keeps locals and visitors coming back for more.
​
But the Blairstown Diner is not just known for its great food, it's also a significant piece of film history. Our diner gained fame as a key location in the original 1980 horror classic, Friday the 13th. In this iconic slasher film, our diner served as the backdrop for several memorable scenes, including the now-famous diner scene where characters are introduced to the eerie, suspenseful world of Crystal Lake. The film’s success has drawn movie fans from around the world to our doors, eager to experience a piece of cinematic history firsthand.
​
Over the years, while our commitment to serving hearty breakfasts, satisfying lunches, and comforting dinners has remained steadfast, the diner’s role in Friday the 13th has added an extra layer of allure. We proudly celebrate our connection to the film and welcome fans to relive a bit of horror movie magic with us.
