That sounds like the final episode of Sapphire & Steel
.
Hmm well it definitely fits the description, but i seem to remember a darker setting and the diner had one of those glass pie holder things on the counter.
Could also be that episode of Farscape where Crighton dispels the illusion by walking into a bar and opening the door to the Ladies' Room, revealing a Swirly Energy Thingy behind because it could not be simulated from his memories (since he never went there).

Ok so im fairly certain this was live tv. It was probably 90s, but it could of been 80s. Theres a bunch of people sitting in some diner and a man goes to the entrance and opens the door to reveal they are in outer space. Do you remember what this was from?
