In Yotsuya (四谷), in the alley with the restaurants called "Shinmichi Dori" (しんみち通り), "Bambi" (バンビ ) is the closest thing I've seen to an American greasy spoon.
There are no tables -just a counter.
And the food is what the Japanese call "yoshoku" (洋食) or "Western food" or rather the Japanese idea about what is "Western food".
