[@aelinluna3434]

Technically it is real. They used Rocko's diner for the pilot episode and then built their own twin set to look just like it. ^_^

[@pentagonperry]

I think there are locations opening

[@drainey0]

yung pp Nope! The only one is Rocko’s diner, and the show doesn’t make enough to 1. Open multiple diners and 2. Have a large enough fan base. It just wouldn’t be plausible.
