"Home style cooking" is a category of comfort food that's simple and unpretentious; restaurants often advertise this type food. But here, instead of being this category of food, this is a restaurant where, as indicated by the tables, people must cook their own food (like at home) and use a consumer stovetop (like at home). So it's literally homestyle.
