Emma's diner in Scarborough

The food there was really good, however it is very expensive, £8 for ONE milkshake! However, the milkshake was easily the best drink I've ever had. The experience there was really good, and the restaraunt was well decorated with halloween decorations such as skeletons. It had very kind workers as well! I would recommend for you to go there for tea, because it is a very good place and not very busy either(well when we went there). I would recommend it for people who love food like chips, burgers and milkshakes(american food). Overall, it was a very fun time but it was expensive.

We ate here on a Sunday night as a family of five the Halloween theming was really good and the food was good quality but the service was only okay - the food we had was lovely and the drinks were great and really fun, our food came quickly but we had to keep asking for drinks and my sauce on my meal was sweet chilli not BBQ!

Glorious retro American style diner - amazing burgers and Parmo - lots of other American style meals and desserts, not to mention fabulous milkshakes too!

Fantastic cocktails 🍸 and chicken We had an array of meals between the 6 of us. The chicken was beautifully cooked the best we have had . Very fresh food and the service was fab and attentive we will be back

What an amazing gem we found in Whitby, outstanding in every way! Beautiful food and wonderful service.

if I could give six stars I would. Stopped in on the off chance as we were passing. Lovely setting, lots of fun vibe to it. Wait staff were bustling, it was pretty busy. The pancakes were fantastic. Really nice and a huge portion for the price (very reasonable I thought). All the folks who seated/served us were great. 100% will call again when I am in the area.

This place is unreal, from the decor to the music to the food, we couldn't fault the place. We liked it that much we went back for our second night. The staff were lovely and the service was great. The food didn't take to long either. Just gutted we didn't get to try a dessert or milkshake because they look amazing 😍. I've got family visiting Whitby over the next two weeks and they're all paying a visit.

Just been into Emma's diner with my husband and 4 kids food was amazing and a little wait but wat else would U expect for the amazing food we had , milkshakes kids thought they was out of this world , would recommend this place 100%

Popped into this little diner again, first time this year and as always was met by a friendly smile from the polite and professional staff, requested something that wasn’t strictly on the menu and the chef went out of their way to make it for me, it was served quickly hot and tasted fantastic, never had bad food. Hats off to Emma and the team excellent job, well worth popping in for good food and an American diner atmosphere.

Emma’s Diner , well what can I say , apart from amazing , the atmosphere is fab and food is impressive, the staff have a can do attitude and can’t do enough for you , thanks for a loverly meal and hats off to Emma and her team ,

abs shocking from min we walked in first we as a couple like to sit on table with plenty of room we was put on tiny table when I asked for the only other table that was free a booth for was told no yet as soon as we sat down a couple was seated down on the same one I requested second we ordered our food came covered in salt chips onion rings when we asked the waitress to change them as my partner can't eat salt we were told there food is always served like that (not true been comin here 6 yrs never had salt on my fries or onion rings before) third we asked for another beer for my partner as he had fu wished his first still had. mnt relieved it by time we had finished our food ... hence we got the bill and left the service the American diner atmosphere totally totally gone BEWARE IF UNLESS U WANT FOOD SMOOTHERED IN SALT AND NO ATMOSPHERE DONT GO HERE

Wonderful spot for special USA themed breakfast with an incredible selection of milkshakes!!

Lovely aesthetics and got southern fried chicken cooked to perfection would happily go again next year and plan on trying the other options on her menu.

Great food, not too bad price, cocktails lovely, staff lovely, atmosphere amazing and decor is fantastic!

Usually go here when in Whitby. Great choice of food and drink- can be a little pricey, but a good variety of food and you do get your money's worth. Drinks menu as well - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Great customer service- can't fault them. 50s and 60s american music often playing. It is only a small place though- so get in while you can.

Amazing place for a pair of miners and brilliant service

Absolutely fabulous! The kids loved the burgers and the gluten free options on the menu were beautiful. I had the chicken skewers which came with a great gluten free wrap

Lovely diner with nice food and good service. Would recommend milkshakes

Had a lovely pancake breakfast here. This place chose a theme and then just absolutely went for it. Brilliant 1950s American diner vibe and great food.

Ate here on a Sunday afternoon, the food was lovely, the shakes were amazing and thw price was sensible.

If you want a retro American diner, this is for you. Food really good, fresh, tasty, with generous portions.

Great food great service only problem was the added service charge without being notified of this charge being added to bill at 10%

Gorgeous food, really comfortable friendly atmosphere, really good hearty portions. Highly recommend.

If you love all things 1950s🩷, then this a must if you're in Whitby. Such an amazing place, the food was incredible, the music fantastic & the young girls serving us were so kind & couldn't do enough for us. We really felt like we were in a 1950s Diner & will visit again the next time we are in Whitby. Five Stars Through & Through

What a little jem. Great decor, American diner style, lovely staff and delicious food.Best chicken skewer I have ever had. Plenty of food on the plate lovely skin on fries.

Very awesome good lovely staff they are really very helpful and so polite and friendly and respectful and very nice and so amazing and so fantastic and very kind

Amazing food, brilliant staff and huge portions. Who could ask for more. Will definitely be going again when next in Whitby

It was full when we got our table , staff are pleasant to talk to , service was a bit slow , 20 mins for drinks to come out and an hour for our 2 burgers . Food was hot and tasty tho Bit on the expensive side

The food and drinks are amazing, but the long wait was rather unexpected. It took 45 minutes for our drinks to be served and an hour for food. The atmosphere is pleasant, some of the waitresses are also nice. However, when I was being served my food, a waitress dropped the plate on my hand with the hot meal. An acknowledgement would've been nice, or an apology. But she seemed new, so it may have just been nerves. All in all, I have mixed views about this place.

Food took a long time to arrive and one dish was cold, couldn't eat it..sent it back..ordered one of the burgers instead which was mediocre at best. We loved this place but there has been changes to the food/menu since it opened again this year. Expensive for what it is. Great staff, friendly and welcoming...shame the food was disappointing.

Overall, the place is nice, but not suitable for children. We had a small, hungry child and we were served later than the couple who came in after us. The waiting time for a burger and fries was 70 minutes? Even if it was somehow really delicious, it would be understandable. Prices do not match the quality.

Good family friendly menu (wraps, chicken, chips, burgers) in red& white 1950s diner theme. Staff dressed in the fashions and juke box playing. Loosing a star as the floor could do with a mop & clean at table reset.

Went there before travelling back to Manchester after the night in Whitby. Awesome little place.the staff are friendly and the food is absolutely amazing

Lovely little find and a nice change from Fish n chips. Staff friendly and welcoming, food delicious and plentiful, in a comfortable atmosphere. Excellent value for money.

Visited today for breakfast. Service with a smile and quick . Can not fault the food really well cooked breakfast all good produce and well presented . Hubby had huge pancakes which he also enjoyed . Lovely crockery and good coffees. Only let down table hadn’t been wiped and the toilet needs attention ( back of loo). Easy fix though. Definitely recomend the food

Had a takeaway last night by far the best takeaway in Whitby thanks everyone 👌was so tasty and ready for pick up as soon as we went to collect

My wife and I went to Emma's leading up to the Goth Weekend last month for a late afternoon meal. The diner is 50s themed, and a splash of good old Elvis. We both had hot dogs which were very delicious and filling. The milkshakes were bigger than expected and very tasty, it took both of us to finish off just one! However, the fries were honestly some of the best tasting fries we have ever had. Not too salty, crispy, they were absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be going again upon our return to Whitby in the future.

Emma's diner is a unique experience, the food is amazing, portions are huge!

Fantastic American diner, lovely staff and delicious food.we came for Whitby goth weekend and are looking forward to Halloween as the place is spectacular when decorated 🦇🧛‍♀️🖤🧛‍♂️

We visited Emma's Diner last Halloween. The food was amazing and staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Emma's Diner :-)

Fantastic 50s dinner. Good service and atmosphere. Perfect for a hearty breakfast to start the day

Had a lovely time the food was nice. The drinks are even better. I had a pretty woman cocktail and it was sensational I highly recommend

very nice food and the very best service i ever had so far in england. very sweet and kind people, can't help fallen inlove with the beautiful lady who serve the food, she's really sweet and kind. im sure ill be back again. beth 🥰

Early morning breakfast visit. Interesting themed 60s restaurant with decor and staff dress in line with theme.

Good food, decent prices, outstanding service, spooky decorations on Halloween and the waitresses dress spooky.

Lovely American diner we had breakfast there which was good great atmosphere staff lovely and friendly

We really enjoyed it but were overfaced with the humungous chicken parmos. Phew.

Really welcoming place, delicious food, mahoosive portions, excellent service. The interior looks really good too. They were able to cater for my lactose issues by changing the recipe for the southern fried chicken, which was really appreciated. The chicken was deliciously moist, and the piri piri sauce in particular was really good. The waitresses were dressed in 1950s dresses which my 7 year old daughter was very impressed with, and a little bit in awe of! Really enjoyed our meal here.

Ssooo pleased this place is open again ...took my mum there today ..food lovely ...ladies are lovely so friendly.. I love the place wish I lived closer..5 stars all the way.

Amazing food, and fantastic staff. Well worth a visit, especially if you're a fan of the American diner style.

A quirky American diner in Whitby with an unusual but well planned interior. Worth checking out if you are out and about in Whitby.

Great fun place for breakfast, good food with good portions

This is a fantastic place to enjoy and a fantastic meal. Me and my partner visit every time we come to Whitby. The food is always delicious and has great portion sizes. The ladies at Emma's Diner are always so friendly and helpful.

Have a great atmosphere especially with all the Christmas decorations and music plus amazing food and service 🤩

had bacon wrap. it was massive. 3 rashers of bacon eggs and hash browns. piping hot and cooked perfectly. ladies serving were lovely. a great place to eat

This place is a must if you want the American diner experience without the transatlantic flight. Portion sizes are huge, staff are incredible, and the prices are perfect. This is now on our must list of dinner places during our regular week holidays to Whitby.

Was at qhitbt for goth weekend always magical ✨.

Cash only? Really at those prices?? Not good.

Wow! What can I say! Worth every single penny and it wasn't expensive at all. Huge portions of excellent quality food, cocktails with a Halloween twist but named after some classic rock n roll songs! Absolutely loved it! It was just a plus that we were there just before Halloween! Highly recommend to anybody.

Definitely an amazing restaurant especially during the halloween!the waitresses are soooo kind and nice to everybody🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩i got a very nice mood during the lunch and the food tastes so good🤩100% preference!

Been here a couple of times and its always consistently brilliant!, awesome food , service and decor . We particularly loved the spooky decor and Halloween themed cocktails! They really do go all out and we were impresssed !

Me and the wife had breakfast and it was excellent quality sausage bacon not the usual rubbish you get at other cafes lovely bread too also you get a proper cup of tea with a big tea pot , the place looks lovely the only thing I didn't like was I found the music a bit loud and could have done playing a bit more mellow music in a morning lol ( I must be getting old )

Sehr schönes Diner mit gutem Essen und freundlicher Bedienung...

Friendly service great food large portions

Excellent food, excellent service

Wasn't sure what to expect when we randomly called in, but we had a wonderful experience. My halloumi burger was fabulous, the atmosphere was fantastic and the staff were lovely 😍

My first time in a 50s themed diner and I enjoyed it. The aesthetic is carried all the way through from the decor to the music playing on the jukebox and the waitresses wearing vintage dresses. The breakfasts were very good and the ice cream milkshakes delicious. Would recommend and hope to visit again.

Ate here many times over a number of years and the food and service has always been great from the ladies working there.

Me and my wife really enjoyed it the food and the service was excellent we would definitely recommend it and would definitely go back again when we go back to Whitby.

Fantastical diner with a cross between British and American culture. Amazing food and shakes. A real treat for breakfast and dinner.

Huge portions - too much alot of the time. Friendly staff and a cool 50s-70s diner vibe. My only quibbles would be, the 2 times I was in recently, the place was packed and the first time it took ages to receive the food (food was lovely though) and the second time there were some really rowdy guys in. My other quibble would be that it's impossible to book a table. When we were there a queue had built up of other people looking for a table. There was hand sanitizer at the door, but other Covid precautions were not observed, with several patrons constantly coughing quite severely. The staff also didn't wear facemasks, nor did the other patrons' when moving around or leaving the premises. If you're in Whitby, I'd definitely recommend this place, but be wary the portion sizes are huge. You can also expect a fun, nostalgic atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. UPDATE: In Whitby today and went to the diner and it was closed on Thursday 14th September 2023, when it states open on here. Not too pleased, as we were looking forward to it despite the much higher food prices.

The food was delicious. The food quantity is also very good. We ordered burgers, chicken salad and Nachos, everything was tasty

Delicious food, amazing portions and fabulous cocktails! The music and ambience just brilliant. The best place we've eaten in Whitby for sure.

Went here tonight with my wife and daughter. Had a great night. Food was lovely and portions were huge. Staff really friendly. Nice feel to the restaurant and kept clean. 2 for £10 cocktails were really good value. Made up for a disappointing Sunday lunch earlier in the day from a different place which shall remain nameless.

Such big portions! Love it! Should've come much more hungry than I did, but it's worth every penny you pay here!

The food is amazing and the waitresses are so nice x

Where do I begin! The food, the service, the staff! It is just an overall experience that everybody needs to try in their life time! Couldn’t get a better place to dine out and is one of the best in Whitby! 5* and well done Emma 👸🏼💅🏼😍

Went for a mother's day date with my little girl, food was mint, friendly staff and thankyou so much to whoever paid for our table! 💐

What a find. 50's style dîner with amazing friendly staff and even more amazing food. Went with my hubbie, son who can be a picky eater and his wife. Apparently the Chicken parmesan was the best she has ever had. Huge portions, absolutely delicious. A must if you are in Whitby

Wat een gezellige zaak .leuke bediening helemaal in stijl. En voortreffelijke gegeten

Excellent food and you will need a take out for all the extra you can't eat.

Strange to find an American style diner in whitby. I was even happier to find that they did chicken schwarma. Amazing 50's style dresses worn by the waitresses and a Fabulously kitch cocktail menu added to the retro feel. Highly recommended.

Excellent The staff were excellent, really nice and welcoming, the menu was very varied and would definitely cater for everyone. The atmosphere was easy going yet happy and upbeat. With a American 50s vibe The food itself was simply superb, it only took 10 or so minutes to come, and it was delicious, fried chicken breast that was actually moist, juicy and tender, the flavour was beautiful. If you come to Whitby and don't fancy fish and chips, then this is the place to come! Only slight complaint is that it only takes cash, but still that's not a major issue Excellent!!!!!

My boyfriend and I came for an early valentine's lunch. Everything was 10/10. Loved the shakes and burgers, the diner was beautifully decorated and all staff were super friendly and welcoming. I loved their outfits too! 100% coming back next time we're in Whitby

Great place to enjoy a meal and a drink. Takes you back in time with the music the atmosphere and the decor. Fantastic food with great portion sizes. Highly recommended.

Love love love this place, best find we have made. 100% make sure you are hungry when you visit, you need all the room you can find, but if you can't finnish your meal, boxes are provided for you to take away. Give this fabulous place a whirl, you will not be disappointed.!!!!!! Food = gorgeous! Service = amazing! Warm Welcolme = absolutly! Price = no complaints here! Xx

This place is superb. Food is fantastic. Staff are friendly, nothing is too much trouble! We will be back!

50's American-style diner and they go all out to make it as real as possible, from the staff clothes, to the music, the imported drinks and the portion sizes! Even the boy (whose appetite is usually never-ending) was beaten by the nachos. We actually came here about 6 years ago and had to go again when we saw it!

Thank you so much for making our isolation 50th birthday celebration fabulous, the food and shakes were a real treat 😋

Great place, atmosphere, service and food all fantastic, good portion sizes too

Open 4 days a week Thursday to Sunday themed as a American Dinner with great staff, Red and white seats serving alcaholic and non alcoholic drinks with a wide range of food from Burgers and Hot Dogs to more local speciality dishes.

Big portions, tasty food, friendly and helpful staff. Loved their outfits 😀

Absolutely brilliant! Amazing food. Amazing staff. Overall a great experience

This place is just so awesome! It was so nice to have root beer again 😍 i had the vegan breakfast and it was AMAZING! Don’t even get me started on the portion size 🤯😍 overall it was just a fantastic place to grab food.

Fantastic find on our holiday in Whitby. Our daughter Emma found it and said we had to go. We had evening meal and it was amazing . Our waitress Fiona was so lovely and welcoming made our experience extra special .. thank you so much.. we wish you a very busy season ahead. XXX 💕

Fabulous place great breakfast

Just had the most amazing parmo and milkshake. The food was amazing quality and value for money. Why I have never eaten here before is beyond me but I will definitely be going again very soon.

If it wasn't for the manager making me run down to the hole in the wall for being £1.90 short they would have got a 5, there is no signs saying cash only, so when I came to pay I was told we only take cash, like I said £1.90 short, we offered to drop it in, but no go to the hole in the wall, My wife said he kept looking at her as if she was going to do a runner, sorry to mark you down because the girls were lovely,

Great food Great service Great atmosphere Love this place We will be back for sure

Best breakfast we have had lovely staff highly recommend this place
