CUSTOMER'S REVIEW

( HAYLEY J. )

Fantastic vibe, amazing food. The Hot Rod diner is a gem of a place, once you've discovered it you will become a regular. The food is always spot on, well cooked and hot. Staff are great, friendly and helpful always. For the vegans and vegetarians, there are several options and they're really excellent quality (I love them anyway)
The waffles are also on the must have lost, but be warned, you will need to go to the Hot Rod hungry, you will leave completely stuffed. Don't drive by this cracking little American themed diner, you don't know what you're missing

Absolutely amazing vibes! Lovely 50's style diner with pretty good options for food. Cajun shrimp is amazing and service is really good. our server was Coral and she was perfect all evening! Would recommend to anyone.

If you haven't been to Hot Rod Diner then you need to go, we went last night and my word the food was unreal, we had starters and mains all was so nice. Staff were friendly and service was fab.
We were offered the dessert menu but politely declined because we couldn't breathe after our starters and mains haha. The milkshakes are also amazing, especially the Oreo.
Definitely going back soon x
