Dimpsy's Diner in Plymouth

I would highly recommend! I have been several times and had a delicious meal. Come with a very empty stomach as you will be generously treated. I highly recommend their warm cookie dough.

Went for lunch on Friday family of 6 food was excellent made to feel welcome the service was first class Will go again lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Excellent food, cooked fresh. Best veggie and vegan burgers, great lemonades, licenced bar and amazing desserts. Fast friendly service. Book a table as this is a place people come back to.

Never had a vegan burger before but it was the tastiest lve ever eaten ! The loaded chips were also amazing Definitely will return

Incredible, delicious and tasty vegan food! My partner and I visited here for the first time at the weekend, the menu is extensive and it was so hard to choose what to eat! As any vegan knows - it’s usually the opposite with limited suitable options! The staff and waitress in particular were so, so friendly and helpful and offered suggestions on the menu when we were stumped! The food itself was amazing; I had a sweet chilli chicken wrap which was so fresh and crispy, my partner had bbq wings and loaded fries and both dishes were unreal! Would highly recommend this funky diner to anyone - vegan or not; you’ll love the food and atmosphere!!

Great food/loads of unusual options, super lovely service, fun theme/decor - all round great place. If you're debating trying it, definitely go!

Absolutely fantastic place, I've been here twice now and I love the place. Everything is in generous portions and very fairly priced. So many variations of drinks too! I dream of the milkshakes I've had from here. The staff are always delightful too. I just love it here, I hope everyone can visit and enjoy this place too

Truly the most wonderful restaurant! Me and my partner had such a wonderful evening be sure not to order too much as we did and didn’t anticipate the portion sizes and how filling it all is! We didn’t eat anything else that day but still we could barely finish anything and were great fully handed to-go boxes. The atmosphere and little intricate details and the effort they go to to make the food so yummy and the games so fun! Don’t shy away from the alcoholic milkshakes I had the FAB one and it was so yummy!!! So nice to go out and be able to eat everything on the menu. The chicken wings and brisket was so weird as it really does taste a bit like meat more than any other vegan meat I’ve had and the TEXTURE is hang on!!!

Each time I have dined at Dimpsy's, I walk away with a new "that was the best vegan burger I have ever eaten" experience. The food is outrageously good and incredible value for money. The decor and vibes truly evoke Americana and highway side diners of the 1950's. Andddd on top of this their level of customer service is like no other. Server Maddie always greets everyone with a smile and the chef is a mastermind - what's not to love? Ditto

Really nice food. I'm vegetarian so was worried about the cheese tasting bad but it was really lovely. Staff so nice as well.i will definitely be coming back thank you guys. I had the americana classic and bacon and cheese loaded fries and it was delicious. Also best fake bacon ive ever had it didn't have that artificial taste.

always amazing, absolutely love it here.

Great food and great service! The smashed burgers are absolutely amazing, we can’t wait to try more things from the menu! We will definitely be coming back x

Great dog-friendly, vegan diner. The food was super tasty and the atmosphere was chill, with good music on and cute decor!

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Service was very quick. The facilities were clean. I had the bbq chicken wrap with the plain skin fries which were both amazing!. Was nice to go to a restaurant and have lost of options of vegetarian friendly meals will definitely be coming again. Thank you dimpsys 🩷

The place is very nice, friendly staff and the food in general is good. We were not happy with the mac and cheese, pasta was overcooked and sauce was missing flavors but everything else was very tasty.

I’ll be posting this review everywhere I can because I loved the place so much! Staff were so accommodating and friendly. Food was unbelievably tasty and all came out at once (we were a table of 13!). Atmosphere was fun but chilled out. The range of food and drink on offer was amazing. Portions were HUGE. Will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere. The buger is quite a good portion and delicious (the reason I gave 4 stars for food was that the bun was very chewy for me. However, my partner said that it was not. So perhaps, personal difference). We have ordered chicken and beef burgers (all vegan), also fries and homemade slaw. Fries have various types as you can see in the menu and that is good portion for 2 people. (Maybe even for 3 people are ok?) We just finished fries but could not breath after the meal. Overall the atmosphere is very tidy and retro. Seats were comfortable when we sat sofa area. The staff was very kind as well. At the corner of restaurant, there is a little water station (self service). And that was good point of restaurant, so I do not have to ask and refill as much as I would like to drink. The very best vegan restaurant along with cosmic kitchen in plymouth I presume. We will visit again for milkshake and waffle next time.

If you like food, go here. It’s amazing. Also the best milkshake selection I’ve seen in a long time

The food here is absolutely something else, I haven't eaten something this delicious in a while. We got the double cheeseburger, brisket burger, tater tots, skin on fries, a cherry milkshake and a green apple soda. All were superb and the service was brilliant. We don't usually eat vegan food but this place really changed our minds.

Great food, excellent service and helpful staff. Good value for money too. May this place thrive and grow. Impressed. See you next time. FTA.

Have been dying to visit this place for ages and we finally got round to popping in today. Unfortunately we couldn’t do lunch or dinner, but we popped in to share a dessert and have a drink. There’s an audiobook we listen to with the kids that mentions knickerbocker glory. We’d never had one so we ordered one here! And WOW it was amazing. A really generous big sundae, lovely sauces, fruit, ice cream, whipped cream and sprinkles and most amazingly arrived with a big sparkler! The price of the sundae was worth seeing the wonderment on my five year olds face alone! One sundae was definitely big enough for four of us to share, but we supplemented with some lovely churros. There are so many lovely sounding desserts on the menu and I can’t believe there’s so much choice as it’s all vegan! The main menu also looked fantastic. We’ll be back!

Great food, great portions, great service!

Absolutely incredible place. I'm a pescetarian and I'm not used to having so many great options! And as a lover of 1950s fashion and style, the atmosphere and theme was consistent everywhere you look and it was amazing. The food was understandably priced for what you get stacked meat free burgers and lots of classic drinks options and unique and delicious desserts. The staff were all really happy and friendly and make nice conversation with you as they lead you to your table. A great place for meat eaters too! It's easy to forget it's all vegan!

One of the best places to eat in Plymouth you will not be disappointed, the staff are fantastic and helpful, always love going

Amazing vegan comfort food. Try a milkshake!

Really enjoyed the food and very reasonably priced.

Amazing!! Sometimes it seems that a lot of vegan restaurant options are falafel /houmous /salads, which is fine if that's your thing, but I really just wanted a burger, fries, mac & cheese...We visited Plymouth from Cornwall for 2 days & after Googling vegan places to eat, I found this gem! My husband had the burger & he said it was the best he'd eaten as both a vegan & also from when he was a meat eater. I had the chicken burger and was blown away. So much so that we went back the next day (my husband had a burger again and waffles, while I had the choc chip pancakes. The only tiny criticism I could find, was that all of my pancake topping was on the top pancake, meaning that the bottom 2 were a bit dry & plain to eat, maybe it needs a bigger plate to spread the whipped cream over all of them, but that was just my preference, my husband was more than happy to help me with the other pancakes! It CERTAINLY wouldn't put me off ordering, I'd just get a different topping, or just go with a waffle. The atmosphere was brilliant, as was the music & the staff. I loved the refresh station at the bottom of the stairs (I actually nipped to Lush on my way home to buy some of the hand cream! 😂) & the cabinet with sanitary products is so, so thoughtful. Honestly, it's phenomenal here. Congratulations! We'll be back again soon for brunch!

Absolutely insane portions, so delicious and reasonably priced! A must visit for vegans and non vegans alike ❤️

Wow! What can I say. Currently on our camping holidays and what a hidden gem to find!!! As a vegan family we often struggle to find somewhere that cater for us. We were visiting the Plymouth aquarium. A breath of fresh air finding somewhere to eat where the whole menu is vegan! Mouthwatering with every bite. Portions were huge!!!! And in my opinion good value for money. Family of 7 and under £120 for mains, sides drinks and desserts. Staff all lovely. Made a reservation on whats app so easy. If only there was one in Essex! Honestly you want be disappointed if you visit here. A must for any vegan!

I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, but the food here is amazing. Staff are great, love the American diner vibe, food came out quickly. Absolutely no complaints.

I absolutely love this place 10 /10

The food here is always phenomenal and the staff are lovely!

Went here for lunch today on a friend’s recommendation, so glad we did. The food is amazing, ( I am not a vegan or dairy free) although if I could eat like this everyday I would be. Burger was so tasty, and the sundae was a chocolate lovers dream. Our waiter was very helpful and polite and the atmosphere very friendly. Well done to the chefs. Unlimited coffee and water. Spotless dining area. Clean toilets and a nifty ickle area where if you forget nappies etc you can take one and leave a little donation. Easy parking behind the restaurant. Really cannot fault this place. Please give this local business a try, even if your meat/dairy lover, I guarantee you will love it. Oh very reasonably priced too.

Such an amazing place! Really good vibes and the food is amazing, never know what to order because it’s all too good. Spoilt for choice. Even my non vegan friends and family love it.

I'm not even vegan but this is one of my favourite restaurants in Plymouth. I love all the options, and it's very family friendly. I haven't been given dirty looks when my toddler needs to burn some steam by crawling around. My fave dish is the nachos! And the kids meals are adorable

Top place to eat in the south west. Some of the best burgers I’ve had (better than most meat burgers I’ve had in my life). The staff are wonderful and the service is so quick. The food is always cooked perfectly and the portions are so big for what you pay. On that note the prices are incredible too! The desserts are the best around as-well, especially the funnel cake. Definitely try the brisket fries and burger, and the frickles omg they’re the best. The theme nights are so cool, I’ve only managed to get to one but it was really good (the bbq night). This place is a must try for everyone vegan and non vegan!

I actually have had food from here and I can tell you it’s amazing! Wish we were more local because I’d go as often as I could!

My favourite place to eat in Plymouth!! I always bring friends here, vegan or not, and they've never been disappointed. Staff are so lovely, vibes are amazing, and food is delicious. Really generous portion sizes and I always go home with leftovers. Would recommend it to absolutely everyone!

slowly making my way through allllll of the milkshake flavours, so tasty! great food and such friendly staff, the waitress is always so lovely !! i also got an amazing breakfast sandwich the other morning and it was everything a mcmuffin wishes it could be🙏🙏

The absolute BEST vegan food EVER!!! 😍😍😍 Even if you're not vegan, you won't even know! (pics are from multiple visits)

We’ve been to Dimpsys a few times now, we live an hour away and we are always happy to make the journey. The BEST vegan food around plus it’s really affordable, a huge menu and even our omni friends we took here loved it. Really friendly staff, dog friendly and nhs discount. It’s a lovely place :)

Have some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had

Love this place, staff are always so welcoming and the food is delicious - especially the milkshakes & waffles 😋

Both the food and atmosphere are alway absolutely perfect. Top notch vegan grub always served with a smile. My toddler absolutely loves playing with the toys and dancing to the jukebox too. One of my favourite places I’ve eaten literally ever.

The Dimpsy's crew are just the best. The food and ambience are my favourite, and I take every opportunity to eat here, or to take food away to eat at home. The vegan KFC meal is to die for, and the brisket is disgustingly delicious. Please do yourself a favour and stop here for dinner!

Amazing burgers and American style cuisine, you wouldn’t believe it was vegan!

Hands down the best vegan establishment in Plymouth (and probably the country!). This is my favourite place to eat out and we visit as often as we can. The food is incredible - fantastic quality, creative ideas, and very reasonably priced considering the really generous portions! We've tried most items on the menu and everything has been delicious - there's something for everyone, vegan or otherwise. The atmosphere is lovely, very clean and comfortable with great music playing. But what really sets this wonderful place apart from most restaurants these days is the exceptional customer service! Staff are consistently so friendly, genuine and accommodating. They always go above and beyond for customers. They thankfully allow dogs to visit too, and they treat them as pleasantly as their human customers! Absolutely could not fault this place and really hope it continues to thrive, as we love it! 💚

If you are vegan or vegetarian this place is bangen! I am not, so not all was to my taste, but I have to say I was extremely impressed with everything and even the stuff that I didn't get on with was done to perfection. Highly recommended for those with dietary requirements 👌 👍 👏

I love coming here with my partner. The food is always exactly what we need. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. We had a wonderful server today who made sure we were very well taken care of. They have mastered the art of vegan cuisine, only sad part is we cannot come every week due to busy work schedules. Forever dreaming of their gorgeous seitan 🤤

I am a vegan from the states. I have to say, this is one of the best American diner, vegan experiences I have ever had. Great staff, fantastic atmosphere and some of the best diner food that is also vegan that I have had. Some of the things on the menu are almost impossible to find anywhere else. Vegan 'fried egg'! 'notzzarella ' sticks, and on top of that, fried pickle chips! Everything is so amazing! I can't recommend enough! And you can take away!

Went here for the first time and really enjoyed it! Staff was very friendly and the service was prompt. I got the honey mustard chicken burger and it was delicious. There was a lot more on the menu I wanted to try and the prices were very reasonable so I'll definitely be going back. Very pleased to find a good vegan restaurant in town.

second visit now. some of the best vegan food ive had. good portion sizes for the price (sides are massive, u only need one between two). the brisket dog is perfect! the milkshakes look lovely but wasnt a fan of how bitty the blueberry pie one was. well decorated and great music

amazing food, amazing service, amazing vibes!! so cool to see a vegan place so busy. fully recommend, these guys are killing it ✨

Whenever I visit anywhere, I locate a vegan eatery and this has the to be the best one I've come across thus far. Delicious food, enjoyable feel and welcoming service. 5/5!

The spiritual successor to the great samphire brasserie, and coincidentally in the same exact spot... But different owners...coincidence? Apparently so. Dimpsys diner is one of 3 "must visit" restaurants for vegans in Plymouth. Next to imperial garden for Chinese and knead for pizza, Dimpsys diner has the diner based fast food menu nailed to a T. Lots to choose from and everything was delicious! And very fair prices! The toffee popcorn milkshake blew my mind, imagine the five dollar shake from pulp fiction. A hidden gem.

We drove an hour from Cornwall just to come to Dimpsy’s as an end of college/Alevels treat for my daughter. We are a family of vegans but this isn’t well catered to in Cornwall- the odd option but often unimaginative and lack of choice. Coming to Dimpsy’s was a great choice. The interior was fresh and fab in 1950s American diner style with music played to match the theme. The waitress was welcoming, friendly and efficient but even better was the food! We ordered various versions using the chicken-style burger and none of us were disappointed, in fact quite the opposite. The burger itself was so good, thick, tasty and with a crunchy outside coating and then the various salad and sauces and bap or wrap were amazing together. We had a selection of ‘mozzarella’ sticks, tater tots and bbq loaded fries to share between the 3 of us and this was more than enough - we couldn’t eat it all but gave it a very good go! My daughter and I had the watermelon iced green tea - a summer special- and it was very nice. The menu is great and I hope to go back and try the delicious sounding desserts and milkshakes one day- my only complaint is that Dimpsy’s isn’t in Cornwall!

Food and service is always great at Dimpsys. The wraps are the best wraps I've ever eaten.

Been here on a few occasions now and still can't wait to come back again!! One of the best vegan diners I've ever been to! I love the retro vibe and music, unlimited coffee!! The milkshakes are to die for and there's so much choice for food!! Every time I've been I've tried something new and can't wait to try more! Such lovely staff too!

After being saddened by the loss of Samphire Brasserie, it was great to see an equally good vegan restaurant opened in its place! Dimpsy's serve absolutely delicious food with very generous portions. We had the 'Kruelty Free' combo with sides of mac & cheese, plus milkshakes. We look forward to returning and trying the rest of their menu.

Amazing food and great service - milkshakes to die for!

Incredible breakfast. I often feel short changed ordering a vegan full breakfast, but not here!! Left me full until the evening. So delicious, a lot of care has gone into the recipes for the ‘eggs’ and you can tell. I wish I lived closer 💔

Clearly one of the best places to eat in Plymouth. We stayed for a month, and we tried several places to eat or dine: this is the one we repeated without hesitation. Both types of burgers are amazing, and the fries are perfect.

I visited for their fish and chip fry-day, it was the first time visiting and I really enjoyed it. The restaurant was nice and spacious, the service good (despite them being very busy) and the food tasty and well priced

Lovey vegan place with great food and a good atmosphere, prices a little expensive but worth a visit if you are in Plymouth.

Can't speak highly enough of Dimpsys! My husband and I always bring our dog and she gets spoilt with attention. It's so lovely to bring our pooch somewhere where dogs aren't just tolerated they're celebrated. The atmosphere is always so welcoming and staff are super friendly and amazing. And the food OMG! 10/10 we always enjoy the food here, so fresh and vegan too Can't ask for better! Also my husband eats meat and he STILL says the "beef" burger is the best burger he's ever had!!

Everything was amazing! The food was so good and the staff were all so friendly. Definitely save room for desert!

A Plymouth great, amazing food, good drinks and desserts and fun atmosphere. Deserves to not be another forgotten jem on mayflower.

The best pancakes I’ve ever had!

Amazing burger, completely stuffed now 😂

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, clean, reasonably priced with a good portion size. Glad we popped in on our way through.

Very nice little vegan diner. Enjoyed the food very tasty. The staff were polite & friendly. Great jukebox. It's well worth a visit. You don't have to be a vegan to go here, I'm not & they let me in 🤣

My boyfriend is vegan and from the states, we visited for the first time in November so he could try the food challenge. He didn’t beat it but he did enjoy it! (Me too) We returned again in January for lunch. The food is so yummy! The staff are super friendly and inviting. I’m personally not vegan but we do eat out at a lot of vegan places and by far Dimpsys is our favourite. The raspberry ripple milkshake is to die for!! I highly recommend! We’ll be returning when he’s next over in the summer 🥰❤️

Outstanding!!! Incredible food and service, big group of us went for lunch and the food was just amazing and all the staff fabulous!! Will definitely be back!!!

Me and my partner came for a late lunch. The dinner was amazing, as a meat eater I could barely tell the cheeseburger was plant based. The milkshakes were delicious. Will definitely be coming back!

The service was lovely and I absolutely loved the music. This was my first time trying a vegan chicken burger and I was pleasantly surprised with how chicken like it tasted! It was the tiniest bit too salty for my liking but it was delicious nevertheless! I also had the onion rings which were crispy and yummy. I would definitely come here again :D

Lovely combination of 50's Americana and delicious Vegan food.

LGBTQ-friendly, amazing food, great music, and cosy decor. If you love good food and the 50s vibe, go and try them. Their Sunday breakfast and Brisket is to die for! Impeccable service-- the staff are so nice and thoughtful. Once, my partner asked for a Fallout game style Nuka-cola float (coca-cola and cream soda with ice cream) and they made it! I've revisited Dimpsy's countless times since.

First time visit,if you are vegan or not, this place is spot on. Food is amazing 👏, portions are massive, first time ever beat and couldn't finish everything

Never thought I’d be able to find a themed vegan diner in my life so finding this place felt like a gift from above. Incredible atmosphere, scrumptious food (can’t even tell it’s not real meat/milk) and the waiters were lovely. They were amazing with handling my extra allergies. Would absolutely recommend for anyone obsessed with 50s/60s America like me!

The service was prompt, and the food is as tasty as it is ethical. Great stuff!

Favourite place to eat! Best place to grab take away as well! Outstanding milkshakes! And it's all vegan! Every thing we've tried we've loved, nothing has disappointed! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the music is upbeat and a good volume. The amount you're served is alot so for the cost it's pretty good in my opinion. Though for my birthday we got alot which can add up as all things can. Would highly recommend!

The best food I've had by a long shot. It was absolutely delicious, and I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. The restaurant also has a lovely 50s theme and the staff are friendly.

Incredible vegan food, delicious drinks and shakes, huge portions, at a really decent price. Great service, friendly people, great atmosphere. I'll definitely be dining here again!

The good stuff. If your a long term vegan you will likely not realise what your missing from depth of flavour and really enjoy the food here. As a non Vegan or vegetarian I found the fake beef burger quite good as a whole considering the patty itself is only half the burger experience, the other half being bread cheese and sauces. The fake bacon was adequate at best but no where near as good as real bacon. The loaded fries particularly the fries themselves were good but the fake bacon bits topping didnt deliver on taste. The desert Sundae I had was very good. The restaurant is themed well in a 1950s style and is clean and well presented. Service was excellent and friendly. The Bad stuff. The restaurant was freezing, way to cold to feel comfortable for a meal in the evening,which is unacceptable.

Great food, and the waitress was really friendly! Had the burger and hot dog between two. Can't recommend them enough! Cheers guys!

Brilliant American style diner! Very generous portions, tasty food, cool music. We hope to return soon

We tried a good chunk of the menu and loved everthing; the tater tots and frickles especially were delicious and not something you'd find everywhere. The interior is so well done, looks like a proper American diner but not over the top. The service is also excellent, the guy who served us couldn't have been more welcoming and attentive. Will definitely come back to try their brunch menu!

Awesome vegan food. Excellent customer service. Thank you! We’ll order again :)

Lovely vegan food. Driver was amazing too

Lovely 50s American diner vibe. Reasonably priced. Big portions, really tasty even for meat eaters fancying a change.

Would happily travel hours for this place. Such an incredible diner. The food, drinks, atmosphere, service. SO FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING. Also, astounding value to be honest. £8.99 burger? It was incredible and I've had so many pretentious and overpriced vegan experiences. This was just amazing. Thank you so so much - please everyone GO! Keep supporting Dimpsy's!

My favourite place to eat out in town. Make sure you are hungry beforehand 😉

This is probably our 7th or 8th visit. How is it possible that the food keeps getting better EVERY time. We visited as a family today and once again we were blown away. Such a lovely atmosphere and the waitress Tara is so kind and friendly. Our drinks orders were taken swiftly and food arrived in no time at all. Compliments to the chef because the food was amazing once again and we were left feeling full and satisfied. Three of us had the KFC (Kruetly Free Combo) and one of us a hot dog. The kids loved their meal and my partner and I too. Shoutout to the new menu, Dimpsy’s have really nailed it and we’re already planning another visit soon. I probably sound like a broken record to be honest but please give this place a try. If not for the fact they are a small business using cruelty free vegan ingredients with their heart in the right place, but for the genuine amazing tasting food and excellent staff too.

Amazing vegan food with so many new options! I love the new vegan chicken. The atmosphere is so retro and fun. The images are of the kruelty free combo and thanksgiving meal

Love this place, I’m sure every time we go the food gets even tastier. Lovely service always and a really fun unique atmosphere. Loved by our kids as well and even our non vegan family members we bring along!

The food was some of the best vegan food i've ever had! The staff were lovely, and i'm a sucker for 50's diner vibe 10/10 would go again.

We have now chosen this as our favourite place to go eat as a family! The one and only Vegan American Diner! Dimpsy’s is the place to go if you love the fun fast food but this is done in a sophisticated way and the skill gone into creating the perfect burgers is honestly quite inspirational. As a kid I used to love going to the drive in diners on the motorway and Dimpsy’s Diner is now my go to place to get my fix as a Vegan! Our favourites are the Poutine Me Up burger, the Original ‘Beef’ Burger, of course the Tator Tots, the Smokin’ Dog, the Funnel Cake and Cookies and Cream Waffle! Just thinking about these makes me excited! Couldn’t fault the food, it’s always cooked to perfection, full of flavour which makes you feel like you’re in America and the presentation of how it’s served is also spot on. We will continue coming back! Definitely value for money, service excellent and music and decor great. Thank you for bringing this experience to Plymouth. One day we hope to see Dimpsy’s all over the country and on road trips! How cool would that be?! If you haven’t tasted this yet, get yourself booked in!

Very lovely food I love vegan food
