deluxe diner

we spotted deluxe diner as we arrived in new plymouth and decided to come here for lunch. the decor, service andgreatfood makes this place a must visit if you’re in the area. the service was friendly and helpful, food arrived quickly. $14 for a massive fish burger is amazing value for money. highly recommended

went to new plymouth from auckland for a couple of days and found this little joint. ordered the steak burger, fried chicken on waffles and donut milkshake. all 3 did not disappoint. having tried same dishes from auckland, these took the cake. not to mention,greatservice and the decor makes you really feel like your in the states - even the diner girls were dressed the part. hard to believe the ratings are not as good as you’d expect.

a really nice place!! been there plenty of times and would go again! the chips and the shakes aregreatand really tasty!! i go there once in a while after school with my mom. the staff is really nice too and their uniforms are really cute!

this place is really wow. this diner sticks out for its sheer joyful appeance, atmosphere and staff. a lot to take in and enjoy and look at. the diner has a big menu full of interesting dishes like comfort foods and original and authentic dishes out of american cuisine atgreatprices. we enjoyed a creative waldorf salad with grilled haloumi while the boys ordered big, authentic american burgers and icy shakes. the shakes are stunning and each one turns out looking unique like a piece of art.

agreatplace for kids and you'd be best to book, especially on a saturday night!  we didn't book but the lovely staff managed to find a table.  we ordered meals that wouldn't take too long and my daughters meals were delivered first.  we were provided colouring pens and paper for my daughter to be entertained.there are alot of kids there so if you hate kids - don't go.the adults shared a knickerbocker glory sundae "knight rider" as you can see by the photo - it was amazing!!

agreatplace to try the best key lime pie, pecan pie and lemon meringue pie. their cocktails and fun shakes are do good. i enjoy their take on chicken & waffles, pork ribs and burgers. agreatfun environment to eat in. i enjoy looking at their collection of american memories.

overall: the food was plentiful and tasty, excellent service andgreatlittle american diner. 5/5 despite issues due to excellent response and service.

food: american by name and american by nature. if you desire a solid portion size, you won't get much better or bigger than here. don't second guess why there's an obesity epidemic, just try any of the mains here. i ordered the trump burger so you can guess how loud and brash and unashamedly out there this was. i ordered bunless and was met with a huge bowl with two very large beef patties, egg, pickles, plenty of salad, kumara crisps and onion rings. i only just finished it.... given i ate 500g of steak the previous night, i'm no half weight at eating. wife ordered a salad and this was equally american in stature. everyone agreed that the food was good and more than adequate. also ordered the adult milkshakes which were divine. donkey punch was my choice and just delicious and seriously filling.

service: the service was excellent. sat quickly, menus provided and friendly attention. the entree was provided quickly but for some reason our sons meal wasn't forthcoming. turned out the kitchen thought they had made it but actually hadn't. the mains were bought out while the last bites of entree were still being chewed so a little bit early. biggest and sole issue was that a hair was on my wife's plate that wasn't hers. here's when things really showed excellent service. the waitress instantly apologised and asked did we want it replaced. we said no as it was on the side but she asked again to make sure. there was several checks during the lengthy eating to see how things were. at the time of paying, without anything being said, they provided our sons meal at no cost due to the confusion and half price wife's meal plus her cocktail free. beyond what i was expecting but an excellent response.

ambience: classic american diner decor including music. no air conditioning though which at 28 degrees makes for an uncomfortable dining experience. when we asked we were told that apparently some diners had complained the air conditioning was too cold and preferred the windows open instead. air conditioning is definitely needed and this is common thus far on our dining out in new plymouth.
