If you were born in the 80s, Saved by the Bell was likely a huge part of your childhood. Everyone watched as Zack, Kelly, Screech, and Lisa graduated from middle to high school, where they were joined by Slater and Jesse. Anyone who witnessed their triumphs, struggles, and laid-back encounters knows that, through it all, they always gathered at a local diner called The Max.

The space was revamped after he spoke with representatives from NBC Universal (which owns rights to the show).

They were immediately on board and helped ensure that the pop-up diner was an perfect match, down to “the corner of the door,” Berry said.
