Question
Happy Days publicity still

What's the name of the diner in "Happy Days"?

Last updated: August 30, 2025

The Cunningham family and their leather-jacketed friend Fonzie needed somewhere to grab milkshakes and watch the Fonz work his jukebox magic. "Happy Days" gave us a romanticized view of 1950s Milwaukee, and the gang's favorite hangout served as an iconic backdrop. What was the name of the diner where Richie, Potsie, and the crew spent most of their time?

Correct Answer: Arnold's Drive-In

If you thought it was Arthur's, I'll still give you a point because that was the name in the pilot episode. Arnold's Drive-In had several owners over the years, including Matsuo Takahashi, who legally changed his first name to Arnold rather than pay for a new sign when he bought the place. The restaurant survived teenage drama and gang wars, but nearly got taken out by Chachi Arcola, who forgot to turn off the grill one night and accidentally burned the whole place down. Even that couldn't kill the Arnold's brand though.
