Located at 35 Neill Ave., near the NE corner of Woman's Park, The Diner was built in 1938-39 by Helena restaurateur Clarence Wise. The building is long gone. The small restaurant was white with red trim, and had a knotty pine interior. As seen in the newspaper ad below, deep-fat frying was their claim to fame. In August of 1952, Walt and Mille Schrock took over management of The Diner. They would eventually open Walt & Millie's Diner on E. Lyndale, near Memorial Park
