Staff was very rude and wouldn't leave us alone to eat there's courtesy and then there's that and kept trying to joke around with me when I wanted to eat must of approached us 10 times and then started making fun of me for wanting to eat Plus overpriced mediocre food

Highly disappointed tonight with this. We were really looking forwards to trying the restaurant because we enjoyed their old chain and so we came for tea. One of us ordered the waffle burger which the moment it arrived I knew it wasn’t going to be worth the almost 20 pounds it cost! The presentation of it was just awful it looked so sad and bland but the taste was even worse, the bacon was harder than a rock, the patty was bland and thin. The hot dog with macaroni was fine and so were the drinks of soda. Atmosphere was fine. Service was quick to begin with then they just sort of forgot about us, we were waiting about 30 minutes for them to take our plates and it was very dead customers wise. Overall I think it’s safe to say we won’t be returning as it just wasn’t worth the price or enjoyable.

Food was lovely, staff was friendly and helpful, we went to the Moulin rouge night, and it was actually awful, they sang 2-3 songs from the musical.. The rest was chart music or Beyonce.. Which is not what we was expecting. Would never come to a theme night again.

Good food choice and plenty of cocktails. Lovely deserts too. Price though is expensive for the environment you are in as the prices ahead are upwards of £40 a head.

The place was full so we opted to sit outside as it was a lovely day. We placed our order for drinks and food and were excited as it was my sons birthday and he chose to eat here. Our good came and we were asked if we would like some sauces. We opted for some mayo. We waited 10 mins and nothing. We ate our food which was in our opinion quite small portions for the price they were charging. We were ignored from that point on. No one came to ask if we needed anything or if we were OK. We finished and waited a further 15 mins. I eventually went it to ask for the bill. The man said he'd be with us. A further 10 mins goes by and still nothing. A man eventually remembered we existed and tried to crack jokes. Asked if we were adding a tip which I wasn't! He apologised for forgetting our sauces and forgetting about us. It very much felt the bigger parties inside were more important as they were spending more money. I've worked tables myself and no it isn't easy but good service is part of the job and in our experience the service was poor. The good wasn't great. We won't be back again and won't be recommending.

Visited Beverley Hills Diner on 20th March to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Had Wings, Burger, Ceaser Salad and Pizza Chips. Food excellent as was the service. Loved the music/videos and decor. So great experience all round marred only by the Manager [we presume] conducting a Facetime meeting on his laptop, within 10ft of our table which unfortunately drowned out the sound of the excellent music and lasted an hour [the length of our meal] all enhanced by the fact that we were the only diners at the time p. s. No Blue Cheese Dressing !!! REALLY?? Has no-one in the company been to America?

Really enjoyed our family meal here. Food was good, staff were really good and looked after us. Was a bit loud for my son (who is sound sensitive), but the staff looked after us, moved us to a quieter table and surreptitiously turned the volume down. Much appreciated. We enjoyed the theme and decor and really enjoyed the music and interesting and amusing facts displayed on the screen.

We have been here a few times for lunch, both during a weekday and on a weekend. The food is proper American comfort food, with a dizzying array of delicious treats to suit a wide range of palates. We have tried the chicken, pizza, hot dog, burger and fish dishes as well as the floats and milkshakes, and the food has never disappointed. The staff too are really friendly and attentive. My only quibble would be the wait time for food during busy periods. Am pleased we have a decent burger place in Beverley again.

The novelty of this visit was good and the service was good. The food wasn't anything stand out, the bbq sauce on the ribs was super acidic and balance on the burger was slightly off kilter for us. Chicken and waffles fairly dry even with lots of maple syrup. Overall not a BAD experience but also nothing memorable.

Was so looking forwards to dine here again after a great experience in August. This time was different, although the food was good and the wait time was a little lengthier than anticipated, we were very disappointed to be essentially thrown out of the restaurant by been given our bill without even being offered the option of dessert… It was clear there was a large booking due to arrive, but it was not disclosed to us that there was a time limit on the table. Being passively aggressively handed the bill and payment been taken before we had even finished our drinks, and 4 members of staff milling around our table to silently hurry us up disappointing end to an otherwise lovely meal.

Popped in for lunch with the wife and what a treat. Really buzzing atmosphere, a real US diner vibe. Sharing nachos were awesome. Nacho sauce was clearly not your usual out of a packet, really smooth. Guacamole was equally delicious and the salsa had a sweetness to it. The wife had one of the 🌭 and high praise indeed. The best she's ever had. I had the Philly cheese bao bun and pizza fries. Image a soft shell 🌮 but with the texture of chinese dumplings 😋 the steak was really high quality, no sinew or fat and the pizza fries were the perfect accompaniment. Will definitely be coming back and would 💯 recommend 👌

We absolutely loved our meal at Beverley Hills Diner & Bar. The service was excellent and the staff couldn't have been more friendly or happy to help. The food was phenomenal and I was really impressed with the vegetarian options for an American style restaurant. My husband had the waffle burger and he commented that it tasted just how he he remembered similar dishes tasting whilst in America, very high praise. My daughter's portion was really generous and she loved it. Staff were so good with her too which was lovely. The music was great and we loved having the music videos on display. The photo booth was also a nice touch! Overall, we loved it and are already making plans to return.

We went around quarter past 8 for a shared dessert. We got the Smores one, which is £12.95. The actual dessert we received was underwhelming. 2 medium scoops of ice cream and a small brownie. Most of the ice cream had melted by the time the dessert arrived. It took around 20 minutes to make- not worth the wait or the expense. Go elsewhere.

Now me and my partner have been to Beverley Hill diner quite a bit now and I have to say this time was something special. So, my partner is Celiac and this place is something else making amendments to the normal menu meaning that she can finally have a desert out which she loved! Our servers were amazing I believe the first one is called Sarah (can't tell as it only has Sarah on the receipt) she is always happy and is super helpful when it comes down to my partners condition and the second one called Ami she's just a cheerful soul who just makes you laugh and smile 😊 We will be back in October and we are bringing more people and we cannot wait!

Absolute shambles. We left after an hour and a half. It took 20 minutes just to place our order, and over an hour later, there was still no sign of any food. And we weren’t the only ones. A couple behind us, celebrating their 52nd wedding anniversary, only managed to get a starter in two hours before also giving up and leaving. To make matters worse, we overheard a staff member say, “it was like this last Monday too.” Clearly, this isn’t a one-off issue. This place desperately needs someone with some sort of restaurant management experience—or its future looks bleak. We won’t be returning. And for the record, I never write negative reviews—but this experience warranted one.
