Great burgers. I got the Brenda burger, my husband loved the the sweet potato fries and my son got a kick from our waiter..unfortunately I didn’t get his name but he seemed like he enjoyed his job. Hooting and hollering and doing magic tricks and even dancing with our son.It was a great experience all the way around.We’re from Texas and just visiting but this will definitely be a place we will come back too next time we visit San Diego
Came here for shakes/malts. Made our order (2 chocolate-based shakes). Manager came to tell us that they only have strawberry ice cream left. We were sad, but changed our order. Suddenly, the bartender runs out of the kitchen holding a giant tub of un-opened ice cream. It was chocolate. He saved the day. It is delicious and all is well. Amazing staff, amazing ambiance, and delicious shakes. 5 stars. 10/10 recommend!
Extremely friendly server here and quite entertaining. The burgers looked great. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich that was a bit overcooked so the crust was hard. But it still tasted good.
Got there about two, it was not packed. The service was friendly and observant. It has a great feel to it. I see why this place has a lot of good reviews.
The food was super appetizing. It has a nice atmosphere. I see why this place has a lot of positive reviews.
This place is special. The ambiance is amazing. You feel like youve stepped back in time. We celebrated my birthday here. They sang and danced and I got this ginormous pink cotton candy. The staff was amazing and made me feel Ohh so important. To top that off their food was so yummy. Everything I tried was delicious. Im coming back if I ever get back this way!!
This was a great place to eat out with the family I would go with or without kids. The service was wonderful, They were on top of everyones safety regarding cover 19. I was only a little disappointed with my fries being a little cold but it was only mine and the spiked milkshake was either not mixed well or over poured. But their custom drinks and ranch is to die for!
Went on a Saturday night and the food was great! I wish that the waiters and waitresses sang more. They only sang once in the 3 hours that we were there. Also, I wish that they had more shake options. Most of the shakes had banana in them which was disappointing. They need to add a few more flavor options.
Food was super flavorful. the service was friendly and observant. it has a cool feel to it.
I love eating here. The service was helpful and kind. Prices are decent.
Service is always super even when they have a full house. There was quick, helpful, and friendly service. This place has a cool atmosphere. Not close to my job, I wish it was.
Entered near nine, it wasnt busy. Prices are reasonable. Similar to a place in Denver I loved.
Quarantine mode still in effect. Which Im not complaining about as long as its open. The food was awesome and delish. I had the Brenda burger and it was good. Fulfilling. Still a great atmosphere regardless of the whole CDC guidelines. Entire party must be present to be seated.
Food was so appetizing. certainly worth a return visit. prices that wont shock you.
Located near the Liberty Public Market. Very popular.Awesome interior design of retro neon signs with 50-60s rock and roll hits.Shakes are awesome, and extra served in prep containers. Super thick, large serving and delicious.Tasty gourmet burgers cooked to customer specifications. Generous portions and fast service. Servers excellent, friendly and accommodating.Kids menu available. Family friendly. Note that streets in the area are one-way and crowded on weekends.
Great atmosphere, my kids enjoyed it. Especially the milk shakes. I will definitely go again.
Great hospitality. Service is typically above par. The bill was well within reason for the quality. They have so many good reviews for a reason.
Visited sat afternoon. service is consistently above par. prices are fair.
Food was so delicious. quick, helpful, and friendly service. i can see why they have so many good reviews.
Marty is cut out for being a server at Corvette diner. He did a great job for us with lots of enthusiasm. I was surprised that the food was as good as it was. I had cheeseburger sliders with fries and a marshmallow milkshake. Dang was it good! We finished the night off with playing some games. Also I should mention the guy tying balloons for the kids he was pretty good. We had a pretty good time. Thanks
Excellent food and service. Better than Carls Jr or any other burger restaurant.
This place was OK. Definitely a novelty for the kids. The food was not mind blowing. If I had a bunch of kids to entertain I would bring them here, they would get a kick out of the neon lights.
It was an amazing first time experience that would love to go again.
We waited ten minutes for a server to come over, when we asked about it at the hostess stand we were told the server would be right over. The server never came over. After another five minutes, we left. My kids were really excited about eating here, what a big dissappointment.
Awesome place! Love coming here. Delicious burgers and shakes with a classic American Diner vibe. So sweet that I can upgrade to sweet potato fries ($2.50 extra). Great service as well (thanks Simon!). We also witnessed a family sitting next to us, who were celebrating their handicapped childs birthday, have their check covered by the restaurant. Amazing service in all sense. Plus you cant beat the vibe. Love it!
The scenery was beautiful and the staff were super friendly! The food was good, too!! I definitely want to take all of my friends hereThe moment you walk in, youre greeted by a friendly server, and then walked through the blacklight-lit restaurant to your seat, where you can look around and see all the glowing decorations! From then on you hear old timey music playing, and during a couple of the songs, the servers dance! Overall, it was a great experience and we had a great time.
Very loud but amazing place to check out. The random songs the staff break out into is great. Excellent atmosphere for families. Our young kids loved it. The games room us great touch. Clean. Good food. Friendly staff!! Everyone gets a hat to wear. The kids and grandparents loved it.
The service was great and our experience was enjoyable, food was good and our server was upbeat and friendly, the only thing I’d like to add is for anyone who has sensory issues this probably is an overstimulation. Overall I’d recommend dining here.
Hamburger patties no flavor at all for the price. Service 5 star food 2
The diner is a fun experience when youre there, but the food is just average. I also dont like how they charge extra for healthier side options.
Great service, tasty food and wonderful atmosphere boasted by an excellent feel of nostalgia.
Kids had a good time playing in the arcade and watching the wait staff show. Lots of birthday parties going on but it was Saturday and this restaurant seems like the perfect place to celebrate a 7-10 year olds birthday.The food was good but not great. The service was about as good as could be expected from a bunch of college students but they seemed to be enjoying their job and that goes a long way.
I think i might become a regular. menu is like a cafe in boston i loved.
First time here. Really good food. Old fashioned ice cream floats. Everyone should take there grandparents here for a blast from the past look
I love the setting and how its set up. Vintage is the way to go!
Great for kids and adults! Their staff is really friendly and patient. The private room in the back is also perfect for large parties. The gameroom in the back is prime for entertaining both kids and adults. Food and dessert are good! Like how they had vegetarian and plant based options too. I had the veggie sandwich and finished it all! :)
Such a cool place to grab lunch. Think dinner will be even. Nicer with all the neon lights etc. staff was very friendly, food was awesome! Shakes are delicious and realy thick!
Great experience every time we go there! We usually go there with family and friends from out of town and they loved it. Very colorful dinner, great selection of milk shakes and tasteful menu. Arcade games and friendly staff. PS: Get ready for ongoing 50s music. Not a place for a quiet date night but more for a fun loving, birthday celebrating and heavy loaded menu.
I love this place great place for have fun with the childrens
The service was very kind and attentive. the bill was appropriate.
Fast and great service! and the staff are so nice!
Long wait, but the service was awesome once we were seated. Quick, accurate and extremely good. Anticipated the whole crowds needs. We had a big group and a bunch of kids. It was fun. AND they were great with the gluten free food!
Food was super flavorful. quick, helpful, and friendly service.
For my first time here I enjoyed it. It is a little loud so if you arent used to loud I dont recommend it does mention that it is loud. Other than that service was great. Our waiter Teddy bear was great and gave great service very enthusiastic. Food was awesome and shakes were great highly recommended for first time.
Great diner with arcade! Friendly staff, fast service, fun atmosphere,.. Prices are good too and portions are very generous!
Fun fun family friendly restaurant. Definitely not a quiet place if you are looking for that... but very lively vintage inspired diner with uplifting staff... they sing, make bows in your hair out of straws, a balloon twister roams around, arcade... shakes are delicious. We experienced the black light room since we had a larger group. Food was decent enough... much better than most kid friendly food establishments...the burgers were the table favorite... I had the roast beef dip sandwich. Overall... it is a great place.... for girls night out, birthdays and celebrations. Its fun!
Neat place! Great food... Diner fare. We had burgers and a grilled cheese sandwich. Big portions, well priced. The soda fountain behind our table added some authenticity, as did the decor and oldies music. Bring the kids to this one. Lots of stimuli!
Great place to relax, people watch, eat good food or all the above. Nothing but great experiences here.
It is an awesome time when you are with your friends or family. I loved it the whole time. I really recommend this place. It is also really fun for kids. There are a few people that go around making balloon animals for kids and they work on tips. It is very retro, and looks like it takes place in the 50s. The food is awesome, and the environment is very fun. It is a little loud however because everyone is partying! If you decide to go, I wish you a great experience!!!
Great experience! You come for the L-O-U-D waitresses and ambiance, which surprisingly was louder than my three young kids...and kept them amazed and actually pretty quiet. Be prepared to listen to hundreds of birthday songs sung by the wait staff, because its a celebration kind of place! Fun, loud, happy, make you want to get up and dance through the whole meal, kind of place! Not someplace you want to go for any kind of serious conversation, thats for sure!The food is yummy, diner-style food, and I would highly recommend the Adult YUMMY treat of the Kahlua Chocolate Shake, and the kids portions are GINORMOUS! The fries are yummy and everything truly is delicious, but be prepared to pay for the experience and for not only an automatic add-on gratuity for parties larger than 8 but also a strange other fee that helps keep prices low. ???Overall, a great time was had by all, and we left with fully satisfied tummies and the kids also got a balloon animal for an extra donation to the local kids parties/balloon/face painting guy. :-/
Very cute kitch. Food was big n good. Where did they find that huge RCA record dog?
Bomb food and fun atmosphere
Place is cool however I feel like their not ready to accommodate large partys, I wish we wouldve known this before showing up with 35+ guest. But the food was good I guess, I mean you cant really mess up a burger. So Ill have to give them 3 stars.
Im a big boy and I could barely finish the burger and milkshake I ordered. I really liked the atmosphere and the workers seemed to be genuinely happy working there
Amazing fun place with quirky retro decor and a really fun happy vibe .. we went twice .. once in the morning just as they opened and were seated near the icecream/ soda station and second time for dinner and were seated in the black light area where there seemed to be several tables enjoying birthday dinners ..both times it was a really different and enjoyable experience .. We even happened to be served by Millie both the times, who was superb and gave great recommendations as we were vegetarians. The waitstaff is super friendly and enthusiastic and the food especially the shakes are delicious. We loved loved loved everything from the food, the decor, the retro music in morning to the DJ in the evening. Will have great memories of this place !!!
I mean, it is what it is. A 50s diner with slightly overpriced food. But the food is good, sundaes and milkshakes are huge and can be shared. The decoration is so much fun for the kids, waiters sing and dance in between serving, there is guy walking around making balloon animals for tips. Loud music though. We were in the black light room and my kids loved it.
Great place for teenages birthday party!Good atmosphere and cool vibes!Food and games at one place. You can bring cake for no charge. Waiter has been accommodating though have to ask for the refills .Overall good place to hang out for teenagers.
Great place, lotsss of fun, food is great, they got games next door and be prepare to wait if its busy. But you can have fun with the whole family next door playing with the kids, and you wont feel the wait. Overall its great. If the DJ is playing, there is a chance theyll give prices. 7 stars if I could.
Slow and poor services! and the staff are so lazy!
This was an awesome place to hangout with the family. Great service and friendly employees.
Super fun place for my daughters birthday! Everyone was happy with their food, and the games helped make our wait time seem shorter. Our waiter was fun, our kids for some balloon animals, and my oreo milkshake was perfect. Strongly recommend!
Perfect place to celebrate your kids, or just spend a nice time! They have the best thick yummy milkshakes and be ready to a huge portion of the best American food. They give special mini shows inspired in the 50s rock and roll music. They do not do the straws hairdos anymore due to saving the planet, kudos for that!
Went during covid, its clean and safe. Very nice seating area.
This place was amazing. The food was decent but the atmosphere is up lifting and enjoyable. My kids had a blast! Defenetly coming back again.
The atmosphere and staff were fantastic! The milkshakes (spiked and kiddie) were good, food was ok. Was surprised how much of food was previously frozen versions instead of fresh, considering their Food Network coverage!
Had a great time for my boyfriends birthday. Very funny and the food is OK but who goes for the food?? You want the entertainment! Love that there is an arcade, it’s just a lot of fun. Staff isn’t the “sweetest” so if you’re sensitive don’t come here.
Food is good. But way way way too loud. Im in a band and it was even too loud for me. I will say it was entertaining. Long wait time tookus over an hour to be seated but service was awesome and food came quick.
I like the old school atmosphere. They dont throw straws around anymore cause of the straw hysteria so that stinks. Its fun to go here on a birthday. The foods good and the staff is fun. Its a little pricey but whatever. Its got a little game area too for kids.
Half the staff & half the menu but we didnt have to wait to be seated.
Great place. Cool decor, delicious food and fun staff!
Miss the old spot in Hillcrest. Food has gone down hill. Itll give you stomach aches. Over priced. Many different rooms, so you miss out on the main dancing action- need to have an open floor plan like the old spot. And the killer- no more straw hair or sassy waitresses/waiters! Our waitress this last time had no personality... We saw no dance... Our hair didnt get done and we paid an arm and a leg for fast food. Over it
We love this place. It has been a go to for birthday parties, the Limo package is the best, and friends time for the kids. The family members love it and it is a fun and up to date fun with a throw back to sock hops! Get your hair done up with straws or visit the black room! Request songs from the the DO! Loud and fast moving fun!
The decor is great and the music is also good - lots of 50s with some other amazing choices thrown in by the DJ (Curtis Mayfield was a pleasant surprise. ) But: the Reuben was not really a Reuben at all and I was pretty disappointed. Fries were good, fried pickles are excellent. Shakes look terrific. But since my main entree was kind of lackluster, I dont think Ill be back. Probably fun for kids though.
I had such a delicious dinner. First time, and everyone was so polite, and explained how things work there. Fun when the kids leave to play in the arcade, its nice to know that they are having fun
The ambience was very nice. The servers all very nice and cheerful. Food was delicious and we all had a good time celebrating my sons birthday.
The servers are always great. Its a tradition to come here for my sons birthday, so for what it is this is great. Come here for the fun throwback ambiance, however dont come for a delicious meal or conversation.
Cool place ! :D
We ate an awesome Vette Banana Split
Very well done 60s dinner style kids playground. Basically the restaurant from pulp fiction brought to life, but for kids. Its like crack to them. Thankfully they have wine beer and cocktails as well. My kids love it.
Great food and dining. Great nostalgic atmosphere and see myself going often. Have a arcade section for all ages as well.
The staff was very sociable and kind.
This diner is amazing!! The food was great, I am vegetarian and ordered the veggie patty. Normally I dont like black bean patties but theirs is perfect, I wish more places locally had them. The server was funny and made sure we were all taken care of. Next time Im in San Diego I will be back! Family friendly too
Stopped at the Corvette Diner on our way to Cabrillo Park. A great sixties diner. Lots of paraphernalia, posters and noise. The food was good if you like battered and deep fried food. The burgers are large. Always too much food to finish. Very noisy place. Had fun.
So fun for family. They have an arcade in the back too, skeet ball, air hockey, and a lot more. My 4 and 6 year old love it. Food is a little heavy but yummy and service is above average. The music was added so much. Great 50s restaurant.
Loved the entire place, the environment, the servers, even the arcade area. I liked their take on the philly cheese steak, had all the right stuff in it, just not enough. Only down side was that they got my party members order for a cheese-less sandwich incorrect.
A great place to take the kids. Food is great; ambiance is fabulous, wait staff is excellent, informed and super helpful. The music instantly puts you in a Party mode!
Very cool inside especially if you like corvettes. Food was ok but the servers made it way more better along with entertaining!
Best 50s dinner, love their milk shakes and Burgers
First time ever going to Corvette Diner. The waitress are friendly and professional they create a warm and fun environment for your family. They also have a play area for your children. The food came out at a proper time between 10- 20mins so your orders will be hot and ready to eat.
Great food and birthday celebration place
Lots of fun. My daughter & I have been coming here on Valentines day since she was 9. (16 now) She loves it. Its kinda loud. (Not good 1st date spot) They do have bar & arcade ... BONUS POINTS LOL
