I know that exteriors of the house, Lobo, church, etc. were all filmed in Evansville, Indiana, and you can find info. about each place online. But I can't find anything on where the Landford Lunchbox is supposed to be. Maybe somewhere in California, since it made an appearance later in the show? I know it wouldn't be a real restaurant, but it would be fun to visit!
shareit MIGHT be in Iowa? that's where Tom and Rosie were going to build theirs before they broke up. (House I think DID get built, not sure about the diner?)
it's a pretty non-descript place for a roadside diner. the roof sign was obviously an early photoshop job.
I can think of half a dozen similar looking places here just in Misery that John could have seen, if not eaten at, had he any input to that part of the show. so seeing a similar storefront up in Iowa would be no big deal.

I think it was the restaurant that was built called 'Tom and Roseanne's' and opened for business. It was their house that was never finished.
shareI hated the "sandwich" on that sign—it was clearly not a loose meat sandwich at all! It looked more like an sausage biscuit. LOL.
