  • It was the best birthday today, thank you for the hospitality and for the kindness you have given today for me and my family. Will be back in the future for our next road trip down to the South Island. Food amazing, Milkshakes from the best. Didn’t had a good milkshake in 5 years. Recommend their milkshakes and food.Rozelle Roos, 2 months ago
  • As someone who had never been to an American-style diner before, I was so excited when my friend took me here during my visit to Christchurch—and it certainly did not disappoint! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt like I had stepped back in time to the 1950s. The retro diner décor is so much fun and full of character, creating a unique atmosphere that really adds to the experience. The food was fantastic as well. We opted for a selection of sides, which turned out to be more than enough thanks to the generous portions and great quality. As a die-hard pickle lover, I absolutelBrigette Judith, 4 months ago
  • Love the friendly staff and delicious food here, but their shakes steal the show! We’re totally coming. Highly recommend trying their shakes—you won’t regret it!Mary Guo, 5 months ago
