We visited Christmas Eve, amazing atmosphere, food and service Another excellent visit this time for Mother's Day. Food great as always, menu changed but for better value

Very busy on Sunday but food and service was amazing as usual

The pancakes and waffles were delicious! The maple syrup also great just like the taste in America!

Always lovely friendly staff and food is always lovey

25.10.25 Great place , food was exceptional and a good variety of choices on the menu , we could not manage dessert but we will be returning . Parking is to the side under the canopy so if it rains your under cover. Amazing milkshakes.

Really good selection and great options for vegetarians. Tasty food with really friendly service. Would definitely recommend and will be going back there soon. Thank you!

This was the nicest meal we have all had in ages. We would definately return

Another great visit to Hot Rod, service and food always top notch!

Best burger bar around all way lovely and piping hot

Amazing as always! Lovely food and perfect service

A Musketeer's Feast: A Revamped Diner Delight! As three musketeers venturing forth in search of culinary adventure, we stumbled upon a true gem: Hot Rods Diner, This isn't your grand par's diner (though grand par would surely approve of the upgrades!). The recent menu revamp is a stroke of genius, blending classic diner favourites with exciting new twists. We embarked on our journey with their signature milkshakes, the salted caramel was gorgeous!– a perfect start to the feast. The mains were simply divine. Each dish was cooked to perfection; a testament to the chef's skill and passion. I went for a side dish for a meal as I can only eat smaller portions and the mash with pulled bbq pulled worked was divine, while my companions raved about their their meals commenting on how great their burgers were cooked to perfection. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, leaving us pleasantly full but not stuffed. The ambiance was another highlight. Warm lighting, the lively chatter creating a cheerful buzz without being overly loud, the retro decor with a modern twist. It created the perfect backdrop for our boisterous and jovial meal. Our experience at Hot Rod’s Diner was truly exceptional – a wonderful, unforgettable adventure. The revamped menu, perfectly cooked food, and delightful ambience combined to create a dining experience that surpassed all expectations. We're already planning our return trip and highly recommend making a reservation; trust us, you won't want to miss this. Book your table to avoid disappointment – this hidden gem is destined for greatness! Next time Santa will be returning for his T bone

Absolutely stunning food, amazing service and a good price for what you get. The atmosphere is very Americanised which I suppose is why you would come here but 10/10 would come here for the 3rd time 🤣

Absolutely amazing experience food was amazing

Haven't been for little while been to busy like most of us . But glad to say food,service and atmosphere is still great . Great place I still highly recommend if your after a bit to eat

Food was delivered hot and was delicious

Travelled up from Devon to visit family in the area, having seen this Diner on Facebook we decided to give it a try. We were so glad we did, It was amazing!! Substantial menu with excellent variations of every burger imaginable. Milkshakes are amazing especially the Marathon shake. If there was a Hot Rod Diner in North Devon we would be there every week. Will be visiting again, keep up the good work. 👍

Amazing as always, great food, friendly service and a nice clean restaurant.

Absolutely smashing place get down here ASAP ! The milkshakes are incredible I've told multiple friends and family about this place and they have all loved it. The Oreo milkshake is my favourite the way the flavour flow down the gullet is impeccable. The milkshakes are served in a metal cup that keeps the milkshake chill #banging. The food is quality beef burger are massive and have amazing taste in every bite.

First time we've visited for while. It's as awesome as ever. Try The Hog sandwich for lunch - best sandwich ever!

They fitted us in at short notice .the service was above and beyond qnd food was delicious

We went for a special meal for my son's 21st Birthday. The staff went above and beyond to make the meal extra special, friendly & helpful throughout. Food was brilliant and I would say we were very surprised at just how brilliant it was!! We will definitely be going back. Thank you everyone at Hot Rod, first class experience 😊

Great time for my first time food great portions size great will deffo come back

Why haven't we been before? Amazing! Great food, excellent portion sizes, really helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely revisit soon.

Great food and friendly service.

Great to try this at last. Husband had a good birthday dinner

Great food, amazing cocktails. Lovely staff. A real treat!

Breakfast, dinner and tea all good.

Atmosphere is always great in there, music is always good. Girls who serve are always friendly. Only minus was I didn’t like the sauce on my wings but I chose it so my fault. Kids love the milkshakes as well.

Best milkshakes! Food is delicious and really good value for your money. Will definitely recommend and return.

Great place to eat lovely food you have to wait for it as cooked to order but come out lovely and hot! Xx

Food is always amazing. Portions are big & good quality freshly cooked. Our family fav is the tater tots & the milkshakes! It was midweek so atmosphere was more quiet but staff always super tentative & friendly.

Great service, friendly waitress and we all enjoyed the food. Good menu, good themed restaurant. Definitely going back for more.

We have visited hot rod diner numerous times and every time the food is amazing, staff are friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is happy and relaxed

Decent burgers and shakes, just the right price.

Disappointing. Took the grandchildren for a treat milkshake great. Problem I asked for a plain cheeseburger. I started eating it when I checked the bun had sauce on. The waiters response was I should have read the menu!!! I said I asked for a plain cheeseburger never before has it come with sauce. Offered to get me a new top for the roll. The sauce had already tainted the taste of the burger. Sadly not the experience I expected

Brilliant in every way - a real gem. Recommended for families

it was my dad's 35st birthday and we went to Hot Rod Diner for his birthday and it was AMAZING!!!!!!! He got a king burger and dirty fries and when he bit into it he was shocked at how it tasted and how the experience felt!!!

Quiet but you expect that Tuesday Lunchtime - lovely menu great service

Very good as normal. Wish I had ordered something different.

We were there for quiz night which was so good 😊

Disney/Marvel quiz-great fun. Excellent food

Wonderful food, great value, waitress was brilliant and made sure everything was perfect for us. Thank you ☺️

Food was really good friendly helpful staff Service was very quick and food came to table hot

Exceptional,best American diner way better than some we've tried in USA , highly recommended

Great food, we all loved our burgers.

food was amazing and shake was delicious

Unbelievable food as always, presented beautifully. Brilliant service. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Thanks very much coral ❤️

Love this place, the food is amazing, it always turns up hot and they always read the instructions.

Treated the wife to a Christmas Eve breakfast. Food was incredible, service was brilliant and the staff dressed up as Santa’s littles helpers set the scene of Christmas

Great American style diner. Excellent burgers and milkshakes. Music and memorabilia is in the style of a diner from the 50s. Car park is small, but there is one.

Brilliant friendly place that accommodated our needs and excellent food.

Always a great experience at Hot Rod, we shall be back

Second week running we’ve been here for breakfast . Came the week before on the Saturday with my brother and SIL was so good we returned on Sunday

We love The Hot Rod ! Our dear Dad loved it too which is why we started coming . Happy memories 💙

Amazing atmosphere and the interior decor is fantastic! Great food and service! Definitely recommend.

Still very good & we had a great evening celebrating my boys birthday, but it has been a while since we last visited & I thought the atmosphere wasn’t as good on this occasion, never heard music being played as much, & service didn’t seem to be as quick, maybe because there is less staff now not sure, just seemed to take a while & wasn’t even full. But still had a very enjoyable evening

My wife and I absolutely love this place!! Been going here for quite a few years now, always had a great service and even better food! My honest opinion, this is the place to get the best burger. We travel 30 mins to visit here rather than going anywhere closer to home! I'm also glad that they have stuck to doing what they do best and remained the same albeit with slight menu improvements. Great atmosphere with the decor and music. We will always choose small independent businesses over the big chains, so this is our go to place as you'll guarantee a decent meal at a good price!

We went to the Hot Rod Diner for the first time today. Excellent food and huge portions, great decor, very clean restaurant and great value for money. Will definitely come back again!

Food was great all got eaten even kids Thanks

First visit, was lovely and will return. Good service and brunch was great.

Ordered 2 burgers & chips and I could taste the freshness of the meat, the flavours were spot on, worth every penny! Will order again.

Great place, really cheap, great food! Always a spare table there.

Food was delicious and filling, they phoned me to check which burger I didn’t want salad in too which was good customer service and I appreciated very much

Love coming here , food is sooo nice and staff are friendly.. thank you

Lovely food as always but please be careful using staples in the carrier bag. When the delivery lady handed my husband the bag a staple was sticking through the handle. The staple went deep into my husbands finger which had to be carefully removed and was bleeding.

My partner and I visited for breakfast this morning. I have been before, but only ever in the evenings which has always been fantastic. However, as we were passing, we decided to pop in for breakfast. The sever Coral was friendly and welcoming, and food was cooked beautifully. The ingredients are clearly fresh and high quality. Overall a great experience, and we will certainly be returning.

Came for a breakfast with my partner as we were in the area. The food was delicious, really high quality ingredients. Delicious sausages and bacon. The girl serving us was very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great breakfast spot. Nice to have some different options

Excellent meal , staff brilliant atmosphere electric.

The food does the talking. Superb.

The restaurant was busy so service was a little slow. Staff apologised but it didn't matter - the food is SO worth the wait. Highly recommend 👌

Very friendly, good food and reasonable prices.

Very very pleasant early evening dinner, after work in Folkestone. Really fun and pleasant atmosphere inside. Lady server - very friendly. Veggie Tex Mex Burger and Cajun Fries were delicious.

brilliant place to visit, great food great music.

Always love eating here. Food, vibe and music is always amazing.

Fantastic place! Been open 11 years And going strong :)

Great little place. Been a few time now. Kids love it in there. Food has always been spot on.

First time ordering and wasn’t disappointed

As always the food is hot and delicious, best takeaway around

Food was lovely as it always is. The person delivering was friendly also which is always nice. Top quality service all round. Will definitely order from here again

all we were upset about is you advertised your mash and pulled pork as just that mash and pulled pork, crispy onions were not something we like. if they were advertised and there was an option to take them off I would have but you also don't have any meals that we can customise.. that's all the complaints are generally your chips with melted cheese and bacon are amazing and the hot dogs with nothing on are amazing your defiantly my favourite american place but could do with more optionson meals

Food always good and arriveshot and delivery is early . Best takeaway around

Nothing else like it, really unique. Great food if you like burgers and dogs. The food was lovely and the drinks were good. I highly recommend the peanut butter, bacon and chilli jam burger. Service was a little slow but it was busy so to be expected.

Love this place. Have been many times and 10 out of 10 every single time. The food is impeccable

This place is amazing. Food portions are great and staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. Can't beat an old school American Diner.

First time here with new menu, booked a table foe early breakfast, was very quiet at first then packed out, staff are so nice. Any meal set can add to it, food was fresh, filling and really nice, definitely going back again

Solid breakfast! Cool vibe with all the American stuff around you. If I’m ever in the area again, would definitely eat there again.

Good food, very fulfilling portions, typical American diner vibe and good service

Lovely place to eat .Lovely staff .very welcoming atmosphere ✨️ ☺️

I often visit Hot rod diner and myu kids love it. quite pricey and NO discounts available whatsoever.(updated in 2024, there is the NHS bluelight discount) the wait time for your food>>>> VERY LENGTHY. staff are ever so polite and friendly. the only restaurant I give tips. lovely ambiance, boring USA music but heyyyy thats what its all about. food>>> tasty, worth the portions, well made, neat and really tasty. shakes, drinks are good as well. i have ordered via uber eat and it comes hot and tasty. they are gradually introducing discounts on tuesdays if you book in advance. ah well, might give that a try. well recommended

We come here a lot and love it. Normally come for dinner so tried lunch this time. Was super tasty as always and Coral our server was awesome, friendly and attentive. Honestly some of the negative reviews are one offs, every time we come here we love it.

i ordered a delivery for this place and the speed was incredible for the fact the food was fresh and hot. i ordered their hot honey burger as i have always wanted to try america's famous chicken and waffles and it did not disappoint. the marilyn shake and tater tots were divine also 💗

The food is hot and everything is delicious highly recommend ordering from here .the milkshakes are the best ive had in a long time ,try it you won't be disappointed.

Delicious burgers and milkshakes. In fact the milkshake was so good that I'd finished it before the burger arrived.

This dinner is amazing the staff are very friendly and the food is glorious the theme is really good so if you like a 50’s aesthetic you need to go here.

Great American style place with delicious food for good price. High recommend. I will definitely come back. Thanks 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Couldn't fault it.....lovely food, great service, fantastic music.

Great food good service relaxed atmosphere

My son absolutely loves it here! The food is great and lots on the menu for vegetarians.
