Fantastic American Diner food. Best I've had, better than many Sydney Diners I've been to in many years. Brilliant drinks, hit the spot. Frozen Slushi spiders, milkshakes, good coffee. Gorgeous deserts. Very clean toilets. The entire family thought the food was the best they've had. We've been again after a year and it's still the best true American Diner food at reasonable prices, with good service, for the whole family. A real Gem.

Really nice cafe with a very cute theme in the heart of Taree. Visited after a terrible night's sleep at a local motel, and was greeted by really lovely, welcoming waitstaff. The iced coffee (sans the condensed milk) was great, and my BLT with garlic aioli was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My partner had the pancakes (+ two perfect sunny-side up eggs), a mango and banana smoothie, and we also ordered the french toast to share. The portions weren't ginormous, but definitely enough to fortify us for the day ahead. The young redhaired woman who served us was really great, and proactively sought feedback if my special-order coffee wasn't good. The only thing I'd improve was that one piece of the french toast was a bit underdone, and it was served with chocolate powder instead of cinnamon sugar, and the pancakes and french toast are served with whipped cream instead of butter. Definitely worth a revisit when we're back in the area though.

What a fantastic diner! An excellent addition to Taree’s city centre. 50’s nostalgic with American mid-west styling. Milkshakes, burgers and memorabilia All day dining and all-day breakfast. The menu is simple and easy to make a decision on what to have. All the classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I appreciate when folks take the time to create something special for their customers to enjoy. I will definitely bring my blue swede shoes next time I take my sweetheart out for milkshakes and burgers.

Let's take a trip back in time and savour this charming little café. The decor is delightful, bringing back fond memories, like something out of Happy Days episode. The food was fantastic—classic Aussie burgers and steaks, complete with beetroot. I highly recommend it!

Probably the best bacon and egg burger in Taree, and possibly the mid-both coast of NSW with good coffee at a good price. The 50s rock and roll milk bar era cafe is tastefully done and provides a good backdrop to enjoying the meal. Friendly and polite staff complete the trifecta.

We had lunch there today just a plain hamburger and milkshake. My God it was so good an old fashioned burger that tasted amazing . The patty was not too thick the lettuce firm and crunchy tomato was fresh and the beetroot was great. We haven't been able to find a burger this good for years. Did I mention milkshakes. Absolutely divine plenty of flavour and icy cold . Overall a great lunch.

We visited for the second time and absolutely loved it once again. There is a nostalgia of the 80's and the food just takes you back. Every meal tastes great! Highly recommend this Diner and definitely a great place to bring kids. Forgot to mention, the lemon meringue pie is just something else...
