We visited for a late lunch. The chicken burger I had was lovely, a great piece of chicken and more fries than I could manage. My partner enjoyed his hot dog too. The only disappointment was the online menu didn’t match the one in the establishment - I was looking forward to a raspberry milkshake which was no longer actually on the menu and the prices were more than we were expecting, although still fairly reasonable.

We love diners, so this restaurant was great for us. We enjoyed breakfast food at lunchtime. The service was fast and friendly. Nice artwork from all the Isle of Wight festivals.

We had breakfast on day one of our holiday in Ryde - it was great. And so we had lunch on day two - equally great. The place has a lovely feel, friendly staff and delicious food.

Great find on the morning of arriving for the isle of white festival. After a ridiculous early start we were starving when we landed so headed to the nearest town of Ryde to see if we could get a bite to eat. Right on the high street with an hr free parking outside. Had a lovely welcome, friendly atmosphere of locals all chatting, breakfast was lovely, which was perfect size to fill a gap. Nice welcome and some great memorabilia from the festival over the years. Interesting place.

Don't usually leave bad reviews but felt obliged with this place. It took 30 mins to cook a fish finger sandwich and fries. Partner had finished his burger by the time my meal arrived (he also said his tasted terrible). I had ONE fish finger in a brioche bun with over cooked deep fried fries (not sure how you mess that up) and paid NINE POUNDS for it. Daylight robbery and terrible food. Save your money and get a supermarket meal deal instead. Festival diner bar - do better and stop ripping your customers off.

Love this place. Formerly "Bagel Wrap" A brilliant cave of memorabilia to the Isle of Wight Festival. Both the old festival from '68-'70 (Lots on my hero Dylan's set in '69 as per the photos and vid), and the modern incarnation from 2002 onwards... Terrific bagels and easily the best Cappuccino in town. Oh and the staff/service is flawless. Go there. I have many times and will be again. Cheers, Ollie

We found the cafe by accident after the one we had planned was too busy. It is a funky place with lots of memorabilia about the Isle of Wight Festival. It has a nice menu although the portions are quiet small (basket size). I'm always pleased when I see all day veggie breakfast, and even more so when they put things that aren't standard on it such as avocado. Good choice of veggie sausage too. My family had the burgers and fries in a basket and my son had a triple sandwich which looked lovely. The cafe has a nice vibe to it and the music wasn't so loud that it spoilt conversation would definately return.

Both hosting staff have bad attitudes especially the older one, it's a shame because the food is lovely. Just the experience you receive in ordering and getting said food which is appalling. Won't be returning as this is a common occurrence, nearly every time I've come in it's like this. Won't be returning now, enough is enough.

Went to this place with my family and they completely forgot two cream teas from our order and by the time we realised they weren't coming my family were ready to go. The waitress seemed like she had a bit of an attitude too and no attempt to put the situation right. The place wasn't busy so really no excuses. It's a shame because the items we did get were good and the place is full of lots of IoW festy memorabilia.

Everytime we visit the island we come to this place to eat, we have been about 5 times now as the food is so so good!! The Decor is nostalgically amazing too, which is why we love it so much...... but I have to say that everytime, we have been served by a seriously unfriendly female member of staff that let's it down. Its a shame that she greets us with such attitude every time, when it really doesn't take much to smile and make ppl feel welcome! But on the whole this place is great and we would recommend it to everyone!🙂

Stopped in today for a quick takeaway bite and was not disappointed. Had a brief chat with the two staff behind the counter. Friendly, courteous, upselling without being pushy. Perfect saleswomen. Had two pastrami and pickle bagels. Eat them both before I got down union Street. They were that good. Will definitely be returning.

My wife and I tried this place for the first time for breakfast. We go out for a cooked breakfast once or twice a month on a Sunday morning and do like to try different places and thought we would give the Festival Diner a go as was open and looked fairly busy in there which we usually take as a good sign. Ordered 2 full English breakfasts , had a choice of fried or scrambled egg. Both went for Fried. The food was warm at best when it came. Bacon was surprisingly tasteless. Sausages were not great, not a decent butchers sausage that's for sure. Both my eggs had overcooked yolks and again surprisingly tasteless (my wife's eggs looked much better than mine) I asked the waitress for mustard and she came back with some tub of American brand hot dog mustard, not proper English! ( Maybe that's just me being a little fussy as I like my mustard to have a decent kick!) £9.95 a breakfast is a decent price, if the food is decent. Afraid to say we won't be back for a breakfast again and sadly made me think about coming back to try their burgers which looked decently priced too. Staff really nice and friendly, decent cuppa and restaurant is nice and clean with a nice Isle of Wight Music festival theme. Just wished the food was better which is the main reason people visit.

Looking for lunch after a long walk and stopped at the Festival Diner, our first visit. Service was good and there was a nice atmosphere. The food was decent - in terms of the breakfast sandwich it could be improved by offering additional fillings such as onions or mushrooms as similar to other local restaurants.

Wet and windy Monday with 12 of us needing breakfast before heading for the ferry. Some of us want fry ups, some hope for healthy options, we've got 2 small kids and a dog. Hmmmm....challenging situation that could easily turn tense. This place dropped like a blessing from heaven right down in front of us. Fry up sorted. Healthy avocado seeded wholemeal bagel sorted. Dog welcome. And - amazing - porridge with banana for the kids. Smoothies, coffees, alt.milk options and everybody was happy. Great welcome, excellent service, clean and tidy and ... don't miss the history dotted all around the walls. Don't pay at your table, jump up and pay at the desk so you can see the original 1970 posters and newspaper reports about isle of wight festival. Hendrix, Dylan, naked news cameramen and spaced-out NME staff reporters. Atmosphere by the ton here. Met Annie Liebovitz in the toilet, too (I swear).

What a great place to stop for something to eat. On our walk around Ryde we called into this diner to have a quick lunch. Everyone was so friendly and we managed to sit in the window table. Our bagels were excellent and I had a can of Camden Pale to wash mine down. Highly recommend when in Ryde.

The menu looked appealing but the reality when delivered was very disappointing. The sausage sandwich was literally two pieces of bread with a cut sausage. Nothing else and cost over £5. The other ordered items weren’t much better. Mozzarella panini was served with cheddar not mozzarella. Triple sandwich was the best of the bad bunch. Service was reluctant. Really disappointing so won’t return.

We came here for lunch when passing by. Menu was decent and there was quite a large selection of burgers, all day breakfasts and sandwiches. Service was good and there was a nice atmosphere. The food was decent - can’t go wrong with an all day breakfast! Our only criticism is that the booth we were in didn’t have any foot support meaning our legs were hanging in the air!

Stopped into this restaurant before catching the ferry back to the mainland. Very tasty vegetarian full English breakfast along with well-made iced coffee. Food was high quality and well within a reasonable price. I would also suggest going if you are interested in anything rock and roll since they have tons of stuff from the Isle of wight festival on the walls.
