Waitresses are serving your food on roller skates (or at least take you to your table ). Very good burgers, onion rings were good (but too few), Cesar's salad and the Mexican wrap was not our taste... But definitely worth a visit and we'll go there again!

Okay, so we're driving through the fairly non-touristy and workaday town of Poggibonsi, Italy in…read moresearch of lunch (we were considering pizza al taglio as our best and most likely option) when what should we come upon but the "1950 American Diner," on Thanksgiving Day no less. We took it as a sign and decided we had to stop. The inside is surreal. U.S. flags, state license plates, hubcaps, neon everywhere, Marilyn Monroe in the foyer. Typical old-style diner seats, even a pinball machine in the corner. This place makes an Elvis shake (yah, with peanut butter and banana) and was serving up a special Thanksgiving meal today - we decided to go for burgers and shakes instead and were not disappointed. My middle boy had the 1950 DOC burger; I got the Juicy Lucy (purportedly a well known recipe from Minnesota - you learn something new everyday)... Definitely worth a stop if you happen to be wandering the outskirts of Poggibonsi and have been subsisting on pizza and gelato for a week or two...

Best burger and fries combo my wife and I have ever had!!! We've eaten at many burger places in our…read morehome area of Seattle but have never had a place where both the burger and fries were the very best. The funny thing is that we wanted Italian food but all of those places were closed and our only good option was this place. Although we really enjoyed the Italian cuisine in Cortona, we're so glad we found this place. The server was very accommodating to my wife's soy allergy and made sure it wasn't in any of the food, especially the mayo as it often is. This place makes their own tasty mayo. Most burger places have either a great hamburger and okay fries or great fries and an okay burger. But it's very rare to find the perfect combo like here. We know it sounds crazy but if you're an American and accustomed to good burgers, give this place a try. You might be surprised that it's the best you've ever had! PS - to top off a great trip to Cortona, I got to meet and get a picture taken with Jovanotti, my favorite Italian singer!!!

Regrettably the setting had a lot of heavy lifting to do to balance out the sad salad I had. The beets were altogether undercooked and not even the respectable feta could lend enough flavor to the bland ingredients. A college cafeteria salad bar could offer a similar meal, but still, it's hard to argue with the atmosphere.

It has all the components that goes in a burger but it doesn't exactly taste like what we would expect. The service was spectacular and they give you ICE! The coke cans are larger then everything I've gotten in the past 9days! They give you a can with 500ml! Overall it was a fine experience and i really needed something other than pasta.

It was just what we needed in a most unexpected place. This is clearly the local hang-out. We showed up without reservations at 19:30 on a Friday evening and though they had a table for us the place was filling quickly and most all the other tables inside were reserved. A few waitresses spoke good English and were helpful. Food was fine. Solid, not spectacular. Service was great...but it is a pub. The locals all were friendly. Lots of young families with their kids, so we felt comfortable being silly. Fantastic Belgium beers and a solid 6 taps of various styles beer. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

What a strange place. I have never seen anything like it in Italy and rarely elsewhere either. They…read morehave an enormous collection of great Belgian beers, and they have so-so food. As a beer hall, it's a flat-out five stars. As a restaurant, it's three, or so. So I'll average it out as four. If you are a beer lover visiting nearby, and you want a diversion from the (great) Tuscan wines, make sure to spend an evening at the T.N.T. pub. The food is not the reason to go there, but it will pass. Bring a driver who doesn't drink, so that you can safely indulge in the wonders of the bar. Our favourite was the Lupulus, but it was a tough competition and they will probably have a somewhat different selection when you are there. Enjoy! (Oh, and get a reservation if you plan to go there on a weekend, or you will have to either wait or sit indoors, which can be blazingly hot.)
