I visited the restaurant after not visited in a few years. The food menu is very limited and not very Vegetarian friendly! My partner had ribs but couldn’t eat them as they had a funny taste to them, when we arrived the table hadn’t been cleaned and I didn’t witness any types of cleaning with cutlery or sauces that had been passed from table to table. I feel that it’s over priced for what it is. They was no social distancing between table or people we were sat next to two different party’s of people and the safe weren’t Wearing any type of masks etc. Were wernt asked for track or trace either.

Staff had no PPE on, cutlery left out, food terrible. Burger half cooked, coleslaw brown, cheesy chips disgusting. Loved this restaurant, but will never return. Only restaurant I’ve been in that has had no PPE at all.

We booked a table for 7, got their 10 minutes early as you do. Didn’t have our order taken u til 7.35. Then to be told no steak! This isn’t the first time I’ve been told that. Food was good, my coke must have been the last drag as their was no taste. To the point I was paranoid that I had COVID until I tried the onion rings. Bingo. I had taste. I felt a bit uncomfortable due to the COVID situation. Hygiene wasn’t at its best. We’ve just returned from turkey where I couldn’t fault the hygiene. In dizzys the bottle of mayo was been passed from table to table and the knives and forks were left for anyone to touch. Like I said food was great but that was about it.

Our meals were all served virtually cold. The meat in our burgers was hard, dry, and overcooked. The accompanying 'salad' consisted of a piece of white iceberg lettuce, which was mostly stalk. We did not have the time to wait for a replacement meal to be re-cooked and re-served. The menu states that the government's reduced VAT is reflected in its lower prices, however this does not seem to be the case.

Slow start to service – was getting irritated but they then improved. The garlic bread was tiny, the butter had vanished and it needed more garlic – was one of the worst garlic breads we have ever had ? the onion rings were nice – and the mains of fajitas of chicken and steak were very good ! steak cooked very well and lots of peppers on the dish. The accompaniment of cheese, guacamole, sour cream etc were nice. The fajitas themselves were poor – not warm and basically wraps -basic cheap but somewhere fun to go if you want to eat something different. Great for families

Love this place! Firstly, my medium temp steak is cooked to perfection. It’s a great place on your doorstep (rather than up london) with an extensive cocktail menu alongside likeable American style food. It’s not high-end, but it’s perfect to give you just what you need, just when you need it with a friendly atmosphere for adults or families depending on what time you go. I’ve been there several times for several different occasions with different types of company.

Absolutely Love this place ! Best Mac And Cheese in town ! Try the Nachos they are huge tasty, made with good quality ingredients. Burgers, whole rack of ribs and spicy buffalo wings are a must try! My over all favourite is the frozen Strawberry Daiquiris and the Pina Coladas! Staff are friendly and Courteous.

They took forever to make cocktails (nearer 10 minutes) and brought things to the table we didn’t order, said they’d take it off the bill and we could have it and then because it had been eaten they said that’s why it’s on the bill

Went for my daughters 13th birthday, waited over half hour for our food, food ok nothing to shout about, table not cleared I had to ask staff to clear the plates, empty glasses not cleared from table, really regret choosing this place for a birthday meal, there is no atmosphere what so ever, the most boring restaurant I have eaten in.

It’s good to see proper American Diner food and Dizzys Diner is a welcome treat for the most part. The ribs and chicken wings combo was amazing, the sauce sticky and not too sweet, and the ribs tender and succulent, with a nice coating on the top. Definitely could and should have ordered a whole rack! The fries were good too, both the straight cut and the curly ones. HOWEVER, the hot dog was truly horrible. The sausage itself look wrinkled and tasted of chlorine (my wife and I luckily both spit it out straight away), and the onions had some of the taste of the tainted sausage so was inedible. The bun was tough, like it had been blasted in the microwave - not acceptable. Very hit and miss, and for the prices they charge I’d probably come back every other month instead of more often. And definitely won’t be having the hot dog next time!! M

I've just ordered a takeaway from Dizzy's after experiencing the biggest craving you could imagine for nachos. I ordered corn on the cob, curly fries, their loaded nachos and a chocolate milk shake. First of all, I made a special request to my order and the lady I spoke with was SO nice and made sure I got my food exactly how I wanted it. That alone makes me value this place, because she could have easily been annoyed or simply said no to my request. Second of all, most tex mex nachos in the area are simply an abomination... this is where Dizzy's did NOT disappoint. Most places have that gross imitation guacamole but this one felt fresh (and if it wasn't fresh then it was still just as delicious), the salsa and sour cream were perfect, and the portion was big enough for two people (or more really). The corn on the cob was tender and delicious. Basically, everything was good, which makes me think if it's this tasty as a takeaway, it must be even better when eaten directly at the restaurant. Needless to say, I highly recommend this place - I hope it's as good when I go to eat-in as it was for this takeaway!

Visited as party to a early midweek birthday. Restaurant was not busy only our table and one other. Waited over hour for food. We complained as birthday ruined. Staff were uncooperative and no manager to answer. We were forced to pay a large proportion of the meal despite birthday evening ruined and children being hungry. Children were late for bed as staff not resolving issue. We were told there was only one chef but still couldn’t cope with a birthday booking.only one other table in a restaurant seating I’d guess 80. The other table had food then left still ours was not arriving. When food eventually arrived it was staggered around half hour apart after being a hour from ordering. Shocking service will not be returning. We nearly walked out to get dinner quicker elsewhere. Stay well away.

Vegetarian friendly? Really? Only two options apart from a salad and by 7 o clock they were down to one!

We used to love coming to Dizzy’s but moved away from the area a couple of years ago. We’re now back and were going to book a table but discovered that all of their burgers and hot dogs are served in brioche buns which contain egg. My husband is allergic to eggs so that basically rules it out for us. They used to be really accommodating but not any more. Disappointing in 2019 that there are no suitable alternatives. Will be taking our business elsewhere.

We visited today with our two young children. The service was very impressive. Our waitress was really attentive and made a real fuss of our kids. Every member of staff had a smile for them as they passed our table. The food was really good and came out promptly. We had burgers, which really really tasty and the portions were very generous. Kids eat free on Saturdays, so our total bill for two adult mains, two kids meals, two kids ice creams, a beer and wine was only £36! Such a bargain! We hadn’t visited in years but will definitely be back again soon. It was really quiet in there on a Saturday lunch time, which is a shame as it’s a real gem!

I was really disappointed with my recent trip to dizzy’s. Just to clarify I’ve been going to this restaurant semi-regularly for the past 10 years and it’s always been one of my absolute favourites but this time it just fell flat. The menu is not a cheap looking paper leaflet and the food choice itself has been reduced (one of my favourite burgers is gone) :( not to mention the nachos now come with cheese sauce rather than melted cheese? When we asked the waitress, she said it was more American and authentic. Can’t say I was a fan at all. All the deals have now gone, went in on a Monday expecting 20% off all food as stated on the website. But when I enquired, the waitress told us there is no more deals and they’ve all stopped. The interior looks boring now with a brown wallpaper covering a once quirky wall filled with icons. The only thing that seemed to be the same was the great cocktails. But it really is sad to see one of my favourite places fall like that.

I hadn't been to this restaurant in years and I was really disappointed with the food when we got it. The food came out very quickly. My husband's starter was warm not hot and my nachos had a lot of cheese on it which was very runny and did not seem like grated cheese at all. My chicken fajitas were sizzling but the peppers were mush and there were no onions. The chicken was not in strips as the should be so I had to cut it. There was no spicy taste. Unfortunately will not be returning.

Food was below average, was quite cold when it came out. Took 40 minutes to get served for my main meal, the waitress also put down my drink & knocked my straw out of the cup with no apology and the straw wasn't replaced with a new one. A 10% discretionary charge was added to my bill, so I righteously asked to take it off, however was challenged when I asked. Their excuse was that they were "busy" and also had other customers to serve... also no apology. If they were busy, why not hire more staff? No an excuse. They were very defensive and didn't value my opinion at all. Will not be returning and I advise others not to even bother.

Hadn't been here for a while as the food was shocking last time. It was my son's birthday and he wanted to go to Dizzy s. Pina colada had separated. Tasted ok but looked rank. Gin cocktail was nice. Apparently cod burger isn't a burger so is not included in the burger special offer. Food was dull and tasteless and then we got whacked with a 10% service charge which I don't like as I like to pay for service as I see fit. Wanted a steak. Any steak and they had run out?! Cant believe they are that busy. Sainsburys is opposite. Such a limited menu and no steak. Daughter threw up on their doorstep and son felt a little fragile. Hope this is not a reflection of cleanliness or cooking quality but the restaurant only had one other table filled and we should have known...

It was a set menu as there was live entertainment but the quality of the food, choice and speed of service was spot on. The staff were very attentive and even though the place was packed they did a great job. I would really recommend this venue. Thoroughly enjoyable night and we will definitely visit again.

We arrived without booking with our 4 year old twin grandsons. We have been a couple of times previous so they remembered the place and were keen to scramble up the steps to the diner. Just want to make one important comment. We eat out often and on occasions have been told 'sorry, we have run out' or 'haven't got any'. Particularly annoying when the restaurant is in a High Street with plenty of supermarkets and the place is virtually empty and not at all busy. At Dizzy's I asked for some crayons and paper. The waitress was really apologetic and said they had run out of drawing sheets but was rushing out to the shops to buy some paper and would be 5 minutes. True to her word she was back in 5 minutes. Well done DIzzy's. You should congratulate your staff on using their initiative and helpfulness. I also noticed how they all worked in harmony.... even the barman Lucas stepped in to help with setting out tables for reservations.

I have been going to dizzy for over 10 years always having the ribs, always delicious. This time god only knows what happen. Undercooked no barbecue, no taste seems like they came straight from the freezer. Would never advise anyone to try.

Used to love the ribs here. Always hot and succulent, served with French or sweet fries and a crisp salad dressed the platter. We'd to weekly or fortnightly. Then I had a poor meal and expected it was a one off so returned a couple of weeks later but again I was very disappointed. The ribs were not hot in the middle and I had to wait for the mayo which never came so I had to 'borrow' from the next table. The staff were more and more inattentive even though it was a quiet Tuesday. So we stopped going. I took my son there recently. We both ordered sweet potato fries (for which there is a surcharge). Both of ours were uncooked in the middle, the ribs were distinctively undercooked and no little salad dressing the plate. So it went back. The fries were clearly refried and chewy and the ribs were unchanged. Not at all impressive. We ate what we could, paid and left. (Had the very cheeky service charge taken off!!) Extremely disappointed. Won't recommend, won't bother again, would discourage. With so much competition in the area I would expect this experienced diner to do SO much better. I'll spend elsewhere.

After a long hiatus me and a buddy decided to go to Dizzy’s Diner in Beckenham for dinner before a film. What can I say! The experience was not something I would wish on my worst enemy. The food was atrocious! We had an excruciatingly long wait for our food and when it did arrive was extremely poor. We both ordered the salt and pepper squid for starters. When I talk about being too salty, it was like drinking sea water. We asked for it to be taken back and received new plates of flavourless squid covered in raw, uncooked red chillies. Now onto the main course. I ordered the Down South burger, and believe me things certainly went south. It was utterly flavourless and too greasy. My friend ordered the Chicken Burrito and separate fries. While he said the flavour was reasonable, he did have to ask for some extra sour cream as his had hardly any in it. Ultimately it was a very small portion for what he paid.Also Dizzy’s used to be known for having a large spirits selection and it used to be the place to go for cocktails in Beckenham. This is no more. The bar selection has been stripped down to less than half it used to be and the cocktail I had was very poor. In conclusion me and my buddy will be avoiding this place like the plague and wouldn’t eat here again even if it was for free!

We went on a Friday evening and to be honest really surprised at how empty the diner was. We had a lovely table (two adults one grandchild) and the service was excellent. The menus looked good so we ordered 2 cheapish starters, one kids meal and two fairly basic adult meals. Nothing too fancy, just one burger and one scampi. Again the service was excellent but the food was at best mediocre. Nothing really wrong but nothing to get excited about and pretty small portions. All in all not great value and probably won't go back. Our meal came to £60 for two adults and one kid so much better value places around. Shame as this used to be a really good place.

I've been coming to Dizzy's for over 30 years and it is very special to me. I'm so pleased that it is the exact same concept it has always been, just with a more updated feel to it. We visited very early on a Saturday evening as we had our toddler son with us. We were seated immediately and made to feel very welcome by the staff. Our waiter was lovely and explained to us how the kids menu worked. £6.95 for a meal, a drink and an ice cream which I think is excellent as a lot of places don't include a dessert or drink. The drink was also a really good size. I ordered a non alcoholic cocktail as I've always loved them here. I was impressed with the speed our drinks were made and delivered. My cocktail was perfect. The staff here always ask you if you would like your child's food served when you have your starters which is a really important factor and shows what an excellent family restaurant it is. Our food was delicious and arrived really quickly. My son had a hot dog and chips which he made an excellent attempt to eat rather than just throwing everywhere. Incidentally, although the staff weren't busy yet as it was so early, we didn't feel like we were watched but we also didn't feel ignored. It's important to note that some establishments make you feel dreadful when your toddler throws food on the floor. They will sweep under him and pick the food up while he is still eating rather than wait until he is finished for me to clear it up. I always do. We didn't feel like that at Dizzys. My husband had chicken wings and the waitress brought over some finger wipes for him while we were eating, bless her! The salt and pepper squid here is amazing and I highly recommend it. We both had burgers for our main courses and they were lovely too. Dessert was also really excellent, chocolate brownie, banana split and ice cream for the little one. Overall an excellent experience and the staff were very attentive and welcoming. We will definitely be returning soon.

After a bad experience on our last visit (3 of us) I was given 10% off the next visit. Thought I'd give it a go today - I've been coming to Dizzies for years and loved it so thought my last experience was maybe a one off. Sadly not a great experience again this time either, we waited an hour from our starters to our main course, two mains were then served up and after 5 minutes the other two got their meals. My Cajun chicken looked more like a lonely lump stuck on a massive white plate with nothing but a tiny pot of fries (very small portion) and a tiny pot of coleslaw. There was no salad garnish so the chicken really looked lost and not appetising, it also could have done with a little more flavour. My daughter had 'down south' a chicken type burger which she also said was very bland.To top it off even though 3 of us had a terrible time the last time we visited the discount was only for 2 meals! I gave Dizzies the benefit of the doubt but sadly it's not somewhere I will be going back to.

On a busy Friday night we got seated straight away, within minutes we had our drinks and food ordered. Even with a big birthday group we didn't have to wait long at all. Food was piping hot and to high quality. I had chicken fajitas which were very tasty and I was surprised by the amount on the platter (other restaurants only serve up small chicken slices and a handful of peppers but this had lovely fresh chicken breast fillets and about 3 whole peppers!) My partner had steak cooked as he had asked, medium-rare and it looked mouth watering. I have been coming to this place since I was 5, a lot of our birthdays have been celebrated here and it never fails! The staff are very friendly and hospitable and it is nice to see the same lady working there who has been there for years. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in need of a treat and possibly a cocktail or 2!

First impressions: a warm, clean atmosphere with retro decor. Thumbs up. The menu is pretty varied, unless you're a vegetarian. However, once the food arrived it all started to go wrong. The vegetarian option was packed FULL of mushrooms. There was nothing on the menu to suggest this was the case, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it, being intolerant of them (they give me terrible stomach pains). My first bite was full of the squelchy monsters, and I'm pretty sure several were swallowed. I did wait to see if a member of staff was passing or was going to check on our satisfaction, but no one materialised, so I gave up and proceeded to pick the mushrooms out of my meal. The onion rings on the side were very oily and went cold extremely quickly. I was served a heap of nachos yet nothing to dip them in.While we were enjoying our first date night in six months, my husband and I were subjected to the unpleasantly loud crooning of a pound-store Frank Sinatra tribute act. There were other groups there who evidently wanted to sit and chat, but were unable to over the sheer volume of the 'artiste'.After finishing our meal, we waited at least half an hour for any of the service staff to notice and take away our plates. At no point did anyone enquire how our meal had been, or I would not have felt the need to leave this review. Whilst our original (disappearing) waitress was very friendly, service on the whole was slow and lacking in genuine interest in our experience.

Just moved back to the area so was keen to try out some old "haunts." Noted the restaurant has been revamped. Liked the red tiling and bar area. Menu has changed too and really loved the salt and vinegar squid, deliciously succulent and lightly covered with a crispy tempura type batter. My partner enjoyed the spicy wings. We followed our starters with Cajun chicken and a burger. Both were delicious and the meat was top quality. Great to see an independent restaurant doing so well. They were especially busy but you don't mind waiting for food that is fresh and cooked to order. Finished our meal with a stack of American pancakes accompanied by a jug of caramel sauce. Yum!!Well done Dzzy's. Your'e a legend!!

I used to be a regular at Dizzy's Dinner. I tried to give it a chance again but it failed miserably.. The food took one hour (!!!) to arrive and it wasn't that great. In the end it was over cooked and cold. We still tried to get the desserts but.. even though the waiter said it wasn't going to take as long as the main.... one of them didn't even reach the table!! We asked for the bill and surprise surprise the desert that didn't reach the table was also charged! Thankfully they removed it from the bill and apologise. This was a nightmare, I will definitely not come back to this restaurant. It used to be great, now it's a disaster. What have you become Dizzy's Dinner...

Food didn't turn up at the same time...it was 10 minutes waiting. Children's meal didn't turn up until reminded. Eventually everyone was give the main course.....except one person. Another person sent food bck to finish the cooking....it never came back. It was deafening loud with a whole table of "ladies" making more noise than a Apollo rocket. Still got charged the service fee. If you like loud and not so cheap..at 25 a head.

We were three adults and two small children and we went for a late Sunday lunch. We got a friendly welcome and the service was good throughout. The food was no better than ok. My burger was perfectly pleasant, but the patty had that dry and slightly rubbery quality you get from mass produced efforts. The bun was also a bit on the dry side. The "mushy peas" that came with my wife's fish burger were just ordinary peas. The fish burger itself was unseasoned and uninteresting. On the positive side, the chips were good, and the margarita was really good.The other overriding aspect was the noise. We were sat right next to a kids birthday party. They were a bit boisterous but didn't seem to be insanely noisy. However, the overall noise level in the restaurant was so high that we had almost to shout across the table to be heard. I think it must have been partly a result of poor acoustics, as there were only flat, hard surfaces on the floor, wall and ceilings.All that said, it was a better experience than that makes it sound and I wouldn't rule out going back. There was a nice feel to the place, and the service was efficient and friendly.

The food was horrible. It feels like the chefs have got bored of cooking and so just throw any old rubbish on the plate. Most things were from the freezer and my steak Philly sandwich had two tiny chunks of steak and was drowning in cheese. It would be better value to get a two for one meal from weather spoons, stil disgusting, but that is about the standard of food on offer here. Not worth eating. Very disappointing. Having said that the service was good and staff were friendly and attentive.

I used to come dizzy's diner all the time as a child. Used to love the half rack of ribs and used to eat the lot with the bib on! My fiancé and I were going away the next day and fancied a early dinner out (as nothing in due to us going away) we both decided to come to dizzy's- we both fancied American and also said how we hadn't been in literally years- so would be cool! It's still the same size- the decoration has changed since I was last there, it's black and white with less pictures. The bar area seemed to have been done up with more of a "happy cocktail hour" - which we both said we might do as a pre-drink one evening before going on elsewhere. It wasn't particularly busy, probably 2 other couples (it was around 4:30pm).Even though it wasn't busy- there didn't seem to be much of an effort by staff to create a vibe for us that were dining. There wasn't even any background music and it was bright and cold! The staff all very young (bless them) looked smart but need to smile and look approachable instead of standing there with a bit of an attitude about themselves (pouting). They were attentive, brought drinks and food quickly, but they all need work on there waitering skills. Food was alright- didn't blow us away in allhonesty. We always remember it being more nicer and in fairness I can cook better, due to this we thought that it was over priced taking into account the service and standard of the food that we received- we did not tip either. We won't rush to come back to eat- accept for cocktail happy hour maybe!

With a typical american decoration, this restaurant provides you with a real american confort food experience.In terms of drinks, they have an huge cocktail menu...the difficulty will be to choose. I loved the Tequila Sunrise and the Mississipi Mudslide.About the food....well all portions are huge, even the hot dogs.I recommend the steak and the ribs. You will not be disappointed.

I went for a Christmas meal last night ... although there was no GF menu and it wasn't noted on the main menu the lady who served me knew her stuff and said that apart from the buns they can make most meals GF.. she also said if you phone in advance they will get Gf products in for you. They will cook fries separately which is fantastic. My only comment to the whole experience was the noise! There was a large group of diners who made a LOT of noise (not dizzys fault) .. but the music for me was way over the top, we couldn't have a conversation- my ears are still ringing this morning- but then I'm an old fogey at 53 years old!!

This is a very honest place. The food is diner fare and perfectly acceptable, the cocktails will get you drunk but it's not classy! Fishbowls and other silliness.

Not been here for must be 20 years. Decided to pop in to have a burger with my son. I now know why I have not been here in a while! The food is not great, i had a chilli burger, the chilli part was OK but the burger was distinctly below par. More the type of burger you would get from a low quality burger stall outside a football ground. My son did enjoy his chicken fajitas but it looked like a child's portion , but full price of £11.95. The salsa was just some mushy tomatoes, no flavour at all. There was a few groups of women around all enjoying the cocktails so I assume they are OK. If you want to come and wasted on relatively cheap cocktails and have some food to soak it up this might be the place for you. If you want good food there are better places in Beckenham.

We visited this restaurant for my nephew's birthday. It was at short notice we decided to go out for something to eat. Our waiter was great from the start (I wish I could remember his name) he had a funky hair style. We were a party of 9 , he managed to get all our orders right. I bought a few shots for my nephew to try. At the end of the evening our waiter informed me that the last few shots were on the house as a birthday treat That was a lovely thing to do. Everyone was happy with their meals, great portions and tasty. The only down side was the treacle pudding, I think it was a cheap shop bought version.

Myself and several friends (15 of us in total) booked for the Motown night. I have to say it was one of the best nights I have had for a long while! The food was on a set menu and it was delicious. The cocktails were flowing(as were the shots) and the Motown entertainment was just brilliant. It's incredibly good value for money and an all round brilliant time was had by all! I will most definitely be going back.

We have been regularly coming to Dizzys for the last 25 years. It has marked many family events and spontaneous evenings. We went last week to be told by a rather apologetic member of staff that Happy Hour was now only on a selection of the lovely cocktail range. Whilst we fully understand that prices have to go up to reflect the overheads, we couldn't help but think that it may have been wiser to increase Happy Hour overall rather than restrict the choices.The beauty of a visit to Dizzys was that you could choose any cocktail during Happy Hour, with no nasty shocks at the end of the evening when the bill arrives.We still had a good evening, and the cocktails were still delicious, but somehow the limit of choice took some of the magic away.

I've been here multiple times and always liked it although when I went last night the food was very bland with no flavour. I had the bacon and cheese potato skins for starter which tasted of nothing and the bacon was barely even visible there was so little of it. I then got a chicken burger - more bun than burger kind of type - and the lettuce which was in it was grey and looked old. I asked for more lettuce to change it and this was fresh and green... not sure why it didn't look like this in my burger. Overall, overpriced food for what you get. Wish we could have got into the usual diner we go to which is a lot nicer and more reasonable!!

I haven't eaten here but often visit for cocktails with friends - there's a great choice and they often have happy hour or other offers which means the cocktails are really reasonably priced. The food looks good too and I hope to visit for a meal soon.

We went here on a groupon deal. Cocktails and milkshakes were large and really tasty. Chicken slider starters appeared homemade. Main course of burgers and sides were great, When we said half way through our meal that my son's burger was too rare, it was taken away without any problem, cooked further and returned with fresh fries! We didn't have room for dessert so took it away - again this was not a problem. Katie, our waitress was great, with a nothing too much trouble. We'll be back.

We visited dizzy's a while ago and although the food was fatty and greasy (to be expected) it was yummy. We ordered a deliveroo and firstly our order was wrong. As a veggie I bit in to a chicken burrito. On calling a lovely lady was very apologetic and offered to send another with some extra bits. 20 minutes later the veggie burrito came with some oil soaked onion rings and a bit of macaroni cheese. I opened the burrito to check it wasn't chicken, the wrap was soggy and yucky and the inside was just tomato sauce and frozen veg! For over £8 and a second attempt I was shocked. It got left in the end and all I had was mac and cheese. Expensive and time consuming meal I couldn't even eat. Won't be bothering again.
