Clover Grill, 24-hour diner in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States.
Clover Grill is a 24-hour diner on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, with pink menus, counter seating, and a short menu of burgers and breakfast dishes served at any hour. The space is compact, with stools along a counter and a few booths, giving it the feel of a classic American roadside stop.
The Clover Grill opened in 1939 and has stayed on the same stretch of Bourbon Street ever since. It is one of the oldest continuously running diners in the French Quarter.
The Clover Grill has long been a welcoming spot for the LGBTQ+ community in the French Quarter, and that openness is still felt today. The counter seating and shared space make it easy to strike up a conversation with whoever sits next to you.
The diner sits on Bourbon Street and is easy to spot from the sidewalk. Because it never closes, visiting in the early morning or late at night is a good way to avoid the crowds that build up on weekend evenings.
The cooks at Clover Grill use a hubcap placed directly on the grill to press and cook the burgers faster. This technique is part of the daily routine and is visible to anyone sitting at the counter.
