Came here yesterday for my birthday meal and I can't fault a single thing, all staff were very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was fantastic. The food was incredible and the service we received was amazing! Unfortunately I didn't get chance to try one of your desserts as I was so full from our starter and main meal but in my eyes that's how you now you had good food! I would definitely recommend this place and hopefully I will be returning very soon! Thank you to all the staff working that day who put in the effort to sing happy birthday to me, it really is a place to remember!
We found this place on Facebook and visited for the first time last night to celebrate my parents anniversary. It's unique atmosphere was worth the travelling time from Nottingham.
We arrived early and was asked if we'd like to sit at the bar and have a drink whilst we waited. A little disappointed no one offered us the drink, however, we did get seated very quickly after that.
The staff seemed young but, they all did very well at serving us and making sure everything was as we liked it. The food portions were huge and more than filling, so much so, we couldn't fit any dessert in lol. The shakes were great and so many to choose from.
They surprised my parents with a little dessert, which i thought was a lovely touch, as they'd asked what we were celebrating when I rang to book. We didn't expect anything, so it made us smile. One of the waitresses even came to ask if we'd like our picture taken, again a nice touch.
All in all a great meal, good service and a fab atmosphere and an enjoyable night.
This is the best place to eat . The staff are great the place is super clean the food is yummy . Can't fault it . We go back again and again !!!!!
A bit of an odd location but an Authentic American dining car with a nice atmosphere. There is a good range of food on the menu and the hotdogs are superb. Good service and large portion sizes. We would certainly come back.
Fantastic meal at amazing value! Huge portions, friendly staff and prompt service. Definitely recommend and they deserve the award they have just won! Will be coming again!
We took the kids here for a treat and they said it was the best shakes, onion rings and burgers they had ever had! A great time, staff attentive and we love the atmosphere and decor. Highly recommend! X
Such an awesome place, too many restaurant chains all doing the same thing. This place thinks outside the box and brings the USA to the UK.
Head chef was on his game yesterday, single handed running about 10 orders at a time. Whatever he gets paid isn’t enough. Give that guy a pay rise.
Lovely staff and service. As always we couldnt finish the huge portions but teenage children managed puddings. My son loved his birthday cake n serenade. Would recommend everything about the diner
Great friendly staff, food is amazing and great portion size, 3rd visit tonight still as amazing as our first visit
Food was amazing! Service was amazing! Price was extremely reasonable for the quality and portion size! Cannot wait to return �
Absolutely amazing! We felt like we was in another world!!! Fab staff amazing food and incredible surroundings. Best eating experience ever!!!
Blast from the past. Great venue great people and great food
brillo place for a good fun night out
this place is an original 50s american diner just as it was 55 years ago
you have to love americana like this!!
we love it
100 mile round trip and worth it
Bizarre and somewhat misguided nostalgic homage to a mismash of American culture and cuisine. Not overly accurate but a good effort given the location. Good food and enormous quantities but very expensive for a mediocre experience.
Glad the diner is back in operation under new ownership. Inside is very nicely appointed and the outside of the diner looks much fresher now. Food wise, very large portions, some may say too much food but it is tasty. Burgers are very large with many options. There is a computer controlled smoker for very nice brisket. Attempted the double dog challenge, which soundly defeated me! Mac and cheese is good, coleslaw not to my taste, seasoned fries are tasty. Burgers and dogs include fries and are £14-16 with drinks starting £3 for a can/bottle. Next visit will try the shakes which sound tasty.
So pleased to see this place under new ownership! The menu is fantastic, the food quality and portion size relative to the price is so good, and the staff are lovely. Also feels more spacious in there now with the new booths. Great options for vegan, veggie and gluten free too! PLEASE be aware that the times and information on Google may not be relevant to the new ownership, find them on Facebook/Instagram and you'll be able to find their booking website and up to date info.
We had an absolutely amazing time at The American Diner.The food and the drinks was fantastic and even better desserts. We opted to dine in the evening. We enjoyed the best burgers and brisket 😋. The only downside was the temperature was set to low on the aircon.

I have wanted to visit for a very long time but didn't get the chance before it closed. When it reopened I had to go as soon as possible. It's a great little place steeped in atmosphere with lovely friendly staff. The food didn't take very long and there were some good sized portions. There were little things that have dropped it down a star. First of all the burnt ends I was really looking forward to as they aren't something you find here, they weren't burnt ends, it was just BBQ brisket smothered in sauce so I was massively disappointed. Secondly the burgers were good but as an American diner they should have been incredible, I will go back as everything else we had was fantastic and there is more on the menu I would love to try and the place is just getting on its feet so a little slack is needed for sure.
I love this place! It has become a new favourite of mine. Having to have a Gluten free diet can make it tricky eating out, especially when I'm a burger girl at heart but they cater for that and I had THE best burger I've had in years there. Portion sizes are excellent and great value for money, I haven't actually been able to finish a full meal and never have room for desert 🙃 The milkshakes are also a big hit, top it all off with the friendly, attentive staff and you have a perfect dining experience.
Dinner here was always a birthday tradition for my kids and we were so sad when it seemed to have closed for good. Delighted that it has reopened just in time for us to celebrate the twins’ 21st!
It’s great to see the place looking smart and loved again. The staff are clearly going the extra mile to make it feel special. The new menu is excellent and has all the classic favourites you’d expect as well as some nice creative modern twists. Generous portions so arrive hungry!
We’re looking forward to going back soon to try their breakfast menu.
Great food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
🤩 this place is amazing! A unique, authentic, American dining experience. The food is fantastic and the portions are large. Make sure you given the milkshakes a try. The service was also friendly and attentive. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed!
First of all I'd just like to point out that some of these comments are from before the diner was taken over by the present owner I've been a few times now and the food and service is always absolutely amazing I'm slowly working my way through the menu the chicken wings are awesome the burnt brisket ends just melt in your mouth and the burgers again are amazing with the seasoned fries I've not been able to finish a portion because of the size the portions are big but I wish the brisket ends were a slightly bigger portion because I just loved them also working my way through the deserts and shakes but there all amazing can't praise the staff enough they're always happy and helpful we nearly always get served by Max and he's an awesome young man very helpful and always polite I can't recommend this place enough definitely give it a go once you've been you'll definitely be going back and if you should have an issue with anything talk to the staff and it will be rectified. Straightaway happy dining people five thumbs up 👌👌👌👌👌
Great little American dinner.
We had the peanut butter and strawberries and cream milkshakes and both were great.
Cheeseburgers were tasty and the seasoned fries were a perfect.
Great atmosphere somewhat ruined by a bunch of chaos and their free roaming kids but not the restaurants fault.
Overall the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will visit again to try the hotdogs and wings. Worth a visit.
Service with a BIG SMILE! be sure to book a booth. There is room at the counter for walk ins but if you go on a weekend say lunch time you may have a wait. The food was tasty and plenty of it. Good quality ingredients w/ a authentic American taste. The staff was the shinning star of my visit being an American they were interested in my opinion of there little dinner and there menu 4🌟 I will go back🤗
Finally after years of living here I drove past to see it was open , turned around and walked straight In . Luckily they had space for us. Amazing food 😋 😍 👌
We recently visited the Diner on an afternoon for lunch.
The restaurant is situated in a somewhat run down area, and the car park was quite grim and scruffy. Old tyres and bins were abundant and it wasn't very smart. A real shame, as it kind of takes the shine away from the diner which looks amazing from the outside - clearly a very good restoration job has been done on the diner, it looks super.
Upon entering the diner, we were given a warm welcome, and were swiftly seated. The server was polite, and it was a very good start we thought. The service throughout was very good and attentive - the servers also donned themed outfits which we thought was a nice touch.
The interior of the diner is great - some really nice touches, and it does almost whisk you off to 1950s with music in the background to boot. The windows/sills however were a little dirty where we were seated, as were a few other areas of the interior looking around. The top of our table light could also have done with a dust sadly.
We ordered food, which consisted of a couple of mains, and a child's meal. Some drinks, and a milkshake. Most of the food was very good, plentiful for the price and tasty. We were especially pleased with the child's meal - great value. The fries for our meals though - what were you thinking! They were so heavily seasoned and salty, we had to hide the flavour with sauce... far too much seasoning and overpowering, a real let down! The bacon on the burger as well was slightly undercooked - we were expecting crispy American style streaky bacon, and what we got was soft and sad bacon... a real shame.
To add, the toilets at the diner were clean, but did have a musty smell. I suppose as they are external, this is difficult to stop with damp.
Overall, an enjoyable experience, let down by a few minor infractions. I would certainly visit again, and would recommend the food and atmosphere (maybe not the fries though!).
4.1/5
If I could give these guys 100 stars I would! No complaints atall a beautiful place really had the 50’s feel even the waitresses are dressed to theme, the food!! Don’t get me started in the food! You will not be disappointed! So fresh and tasty! I couldn’t finish mine and took it home to finish which I never do!!! Honestly worth the drive and every penny! I will be back for any excuse now! Well done guys you really have outdone yourselves! Absolutely splendid!
I went for breakfast. I'd pre booked. Got served quickly. The food was amazing. Would definitely recommend
Great food, great staff
Will return in an evening for more atmosphere
Having been to the States many times and eaten at a number of 'old style' American Diners, this us very authentic. The food was great (had pancakes with crispy streaky bacon with maple syrup and Biscuits & Gravy). American size portions as well 🙂
All of the Staff were brilliant and the Decor is fantastic.
So pleased to see this reopened! Great food, warm service and stylish atmosphere. Make sure you go in with an empty stomach 😋

They lots of special boards or choice from a wide selection . The milkshakes are unbelievable " make sure your hungry " will definitely go back 👍
