    The 50s American Diner - Horribly dry, overcooked American pancakes. The bacon (added extra) was edible, the pancakes not.

    OMG this is the real deal Anyone who loves 50's/rockabilly and a great time head to this wonderful…read morediner in Derbyshire The food is wonderful, burgers that are thick and meaty, and if you love fries you get a whole bucket full here, the choice of milkshakes are amazing ( try the resses cup one) and be sure to leave space for the wonderful desserts The music is just the way rockabilly should be played loud and jumping, the decor has to be seen to be believed, and the staff are the friendliest ever, even dressing in the 50's retro look Try this wonderful diner You'll call back time and again.

    Second time I've visited, so a relative authority now. Second visits are never as good as the…read morefirst, however, which is a shame. The novelty wears off and the subject leaves itself open to criticism. Smaller, smellier and more tacky than I remembered, the burgers tasted worse and the portions felt smaller (although this is not necessarily a bad thing). Poor quality patties rendered what was an enjoyable experience worse than it should have been and a thin lining of grease over everything made the whole charade feel dirty. My 1/2lb beef and bacon was mediocre and my companion's pepperoni, tomato and cheese tasted like a cheap pizza; my sister's blue cheese was nice, however this was in no doubt due to the sauce managing to disguise the flavour of their value frozen burgers. What saved the meal were the fantastic milkshakes (Oreo, peanut butter and Irish cream, the latter turning out to be the favourite) and the ridiculous peanut butter crunch sundae, the toffee apple pie leaving us disappointed. £20 per head, which is what you expect to pay for a novelty such as this, and which is why this restaurant will manage to survive despite the food failing to live up to the kitsch glamour and the enterprising theme. Restaurants like this should never be harshly judged on their food, and if they are you're missing the point. It's about the experience, the novelty and the ride. It's a nostalgia trip for people who never experienced it first time round; an exalted view through red, white and blue tinted sunglasses at a specific period of Americana that is itself viewed through misty eyes. How many Americans revere and laud the humble pub, jellied eels and Beefeaters? Cliched, over the top and in poor taste, replete with a decaying Mystery Machine and muscle car in the car park (genuinely!), I'll nevertheless come back time and time again. It's enjoyable, and offers us Brits something different, and perhaps more importantly, fun.
