Luke's Diner Pop-Up Draws North Texas Crowd

Fans of the cult television classic, "Gilmore Girls," lined up Wednesday morning for a real-life taste of Luke's Diner.

The on-tv cafe was brought to life as pop up coffee shops across the U.S., including cafe's in North Texas.

The Oct. 5 event comes 16 years to the day the pilot of the cult favorite series aired on television. Netflix is set to air a reboot of the show, called "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" beginning in November.

Netflix is sponsoring the one-day conversion of the shops, according to Eater, and it will be providing the cafes with "all the Luke's Diner essentials."

The pop-ups will run from 7 a.m. to noon.

Fans of the show lined up around the Arlington location for a cup of free coffee and other giveaway prizes promoting the show's Netflix revamp.
