Show synopsis

When Gloria took a waitressing job at a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn’t realize she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with it’s staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar. No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there’s always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. “When the waves of the universe crash unrelentingly, when the stars seem indifferent to your plight, suddenly there is a diner.” We open at 6.

"Ok, now I know why people get addicted to this show and never want it to end. It feels like Dr. Who, though it’s not like Dr. Who. The writing and acting is superb. The storylines as goofy as they are poignant, though it takes a while to see the latter." — Evo Terra
