WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA – The Rossmoor Diner in Walnut Creek, California appears to have closed permanently. The sudden closure was announced in the Rossmoor News in September.
As of a visit by the Bay Area Telegraph’s Thomas Smith in mid-October, the restaurant’s fixtures appear to be removed and it appears to have closed, although no closure notice was posted on the door.
End of an Era
The closure of the Rossmoor Diner marks the end of an era for the popular Walnut Creek, California restaurant. For decades, the diner has served popular and inexpensive food to the local Rossmoor and broader WC community.
The restaurant joins several other Walnut Creek classics that closed recently, including Caspers Hot Dogs, which had also operated for decades.
On our visit, the interior looked barren and it appeared that the restaurant was no longer in operation. Several people posted on Facebook noting that the restaurant had closed.
