Jezebel has a new feature called "Grim Yelp Reviews," and the name suggests exactly the kind of cringeworthy, chills-inducing, gross-all-over kind of feeling you'd expect to get from reading it.

Writer Anna Merlan chose 24-hour diners for this week's installment, because "24-hour diners have a special magic to them, the kind of bizarre dreamlike state that settles over a place when the lights never go out and the griddle never goes cold," Merlan writes.

We realize you can probably find out all of that information by employing five seconds of Google magic.
