Route 66 Diner
Clinton, OK
The Route 66 Diner is a Valentine, built in 1956. It was originally in Shamrock, TX where it was known as the Porter House Café. The diner closed in 1964 and in 2002 was restored and moved here to the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum.

Porter House Diner
Weatherford, OK
The Porter House Diner, another Valentine, is located at the Heartland of America Museum. It was originally located in El Reno and moved to Weatherford in the early 1960s. In 2002, the diner was donated to the museum and restored. This is an example of Valentine's Aristocrat model which was designed in the late 1940s.

Valentine diner
Duncan, OK
This Valentine diner was vacant when these photos were taken in 2011. Just a few months after these photos, the diner had apparently been moved on the lot and damaged. For more, see this website.

Lenox Drive-in
Enid, OK
The Lenox Drive-in was installed here in 1953. The building was manufactured by Valentine. This is the company's Burger Bar model designed as a walk-up stand with no seating.

Bree's Diner
Chickasha, OK		 Valentine diner
Chickasha, OK
Both of these Valentine diners are located at Muscle Car Ranch. Bree's diner may be from the early 1950s. I don't know anything about the other diner.

Income Taxes R Us occupies a Valentine diner from 1961.

City Kabab Gyros & Grill is housed in a Valentine diner. It was probably built in the 1960s.

former B&C Café
Oklahoma City, OK
I believe this Valentine diner originally housed the B&C Café. These photos are from 2011. By 2012, the diner was vacant and had been repainted. For more, see this website.

Valentine diner
Chandler, OK
This Valentine diner was built in 1958. It was originally located in Leedy, OK. The diner was purchased by Patina Properties in 2003 and moved here, behind a former Phillips 66 gas station which is also owned by the company. As of 2011 when these photos were taken, it appears that the restoration work on the diner has not been started. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

The Rock
Shawnee, OK
The Rock is a Valentine diner, manufactured in 1962. The building is used as a teen outreach center for the Living Word Church.
