The Royal Diner is the place where the people from the Jeffersonian Institute and the FBI eat and drink during the daytime, such as for breakfast and lunch. It provides a location for characters to discuss problems outside of the work context, that is when they interact as friends, not co-workers. It is located relatively close to the Jeffersonian Institute and members of the Institute's Medico-Legal Lab have been known to frequent the diner on many occasions.
It is located in Washington, D.C., and is close to the Jeffersonian. Established in 1948 and having 'The Best Burgers in the District' and (as of season 10) is run by Frankie Cooper. It is open 24 hours and regularly serves burgers, fries, pies and other kinds of food and drink including lobster on Thursdays.
Many of the Jeffersonian team including Brennan, Hodgins, Zack, Angela and Cam along with some of the Interns have been seen eating or drinking something here. FBI personnel, Booth, Sweets and Aubrey regularly go to the Diner as well to either hang out with the team or to discuss things in general.
