Huckleberrys American Diner in Ryedale

Very clean and great food, staff very welcoming and friendly, love the food

Amazing food, incredible service staff that were really nice! Bathrooms could do with a refurb

Absolutely amazing. Food was delicious 😋. massive portions. Prices fit the portion sizes. If ur starving when you go in , you'll be stuffed when you come out.

Pit stop after sitting in a traffic jam on the A64. Food was plentiful, bit pricey, but generous portions. Waitress was very attentive. The place is let down massively by its WC facilities. They are grim...and that's an understatement. The loos are beyond filthy and I doubt have been cleaned properly for a long time. The decor in the washrooms is dirty and falling apart. C'mon guys, sort it out.

I have visited this diner several times on my way to Whitby, and really enjoyed the food. However, this time, my experience was different. We ordered, and then I visited the ladies toilet. It looked dirty, with one broken toilet seat, the toilet pan was grimy, the wallpaper was peeling off the wall, and there was a tiny bit of Handwash to use. I used my jumper to open the door out to the restaurant, as it looked filthy. If I hadn't already ordered our meals, I would have not stayed. The food looked and tasted good, but to be honest, I felt a bit sick afterwards, as I wondered what state the kitchen must be if the toilets are so bad. I looked at other reviews, and there were some that also referred to the poor state of the toilets, some of which were the same concerns as mine. I'm surprised that these hadn't been addressed,, as these places must rely on positive feedback. It's a shame, but I will find somewhere else to visit to eat next time I go to Whitby.

Got dragged in under protest by my Grandson. But was pleasantly surprised. I will be visiting again. (Without Grandson)

Huckleberry's does really nice food and their breakfast is always spot on and a good size to fill you up. Staff always friendly and chatty. Definitely recommend stopping if you pass. Good selection on the menu

Two people had food got a bill of £67 it was not that good

Ribs, ribs, ribs. Fantastic 😛😛😛

Brilliant American dinner style food. Highly recommend the PBJ burger

Stopped on our way home from our holiday. We did not eat just used the bathroom after ordering overpriced drinks. It was the most disgusting bathroom I have ever had to use. Absolutely stank of urine, cobwebs on stall doors showing no attempts to clean recently if ever! Wet filthy floor, loose sinks, broken side the sinks are on, a 4 pack of loo roll on the floor, no water from the hot taps at all! I dread to think the state of the kitchen if that's how the customer bathrooms are. Came out needing a shower! The main guy was really rude, the waitress was nice. I see her mentioned on other reviews I'd suggest you find a job elsewhere. Just look at the other 1 star reviews!! They also have a hygiene rating of 5 in the window... which is a total lie!!! It's a 1! Do not go here.

The food was served cold and greasy (somehow) but at least they knocked some of the dishes off.

The food was ok and the portion sizes are massive!! However… had I visited the bathroom before my meal I wouldn’t have eaten here. They were utterly discussing. The smell of urine in the ladies was something I’ve never experienced before, toilet seat missing, replacement toilet rolls stored on the floor next to the loo. Only one tap worked. The hand dryer didn’t .

We liked this place, the food was good and the American diner theme was ok, but perhaps could be improved with more posters and stuff to get that proper diner feel.. We had 1 main, 1 starter and 2 kids meals between the four of us and drinks which came to 45 quid. Not bad I thought in today's market. More Americana and I'd give the extra star.

Restaurant felt very unclean, toilets awful, wallpaper hanging off the wall, bins full at 11am in the morning, no hot water taps working to wash hands. Food average, everything deep fried. Steak nice. Needs a good deep clean and update. Staff friendly.

Milkshakes are really nice, but 6 pounds bit pricey , The food overall what we had was nice but expensive. I wouldn't say it was great, and I would want to go back ,onion rings tasteless and flat not bubbly batter or anything ,I the grill on the burger over powered all other tastes on the plate ,

Wasn't that busy ordered 2 sandwiches it took nearly 50min to get them not impressed won't be going again

The food was very tasty, and the staff very polite. But the rest rooms were very dirty and smelly. And the whole room needs a lick of paint.

Horrendously filthy, should be shut down by environmental health for those toilets! For the live of god, clean your toilets. Had I seen them first I would’ve walked out. How ridiculous to treat paying customers to such hideous bathrooms. I don’t believe they’ve ever been cleaned. And the filthy broken toilet lid fell onto my child’s head. Do not eat here!!

It’s changed since we last went. The menu has vegan items and and has a nice range. The place had loads of flies.

This place is so dirty I just could not believe they were allowed to serve food I have since found out it has a 1 star hygiene rating but of course this is not displayed in the window. The toilets were so disgusting 🤢 I’m surprised everyone that eats there do not have food poisoning

Called on my return from Filey food was OK but over salty

Great menu, great staff, good value & great food fantastic for kids too.

Portion size smaller than before Service was good Toilets very unhygienic, need a good clean

Huckleberry's American Diner is the place to be if you're craving a hearty, all-American meal! The menu is packed with some seriously tempting options. From the PBJ Burger to the Dirty Donut Burger, these guys really know how to mix it up. I mean, a burger topped with peanut butter and jelly? Or one with a glazed donut as the bun? Only in America—or at Huckleberry's! The sides are just as mouth-watering—loaded fries with all sorts of toppings, mac and cheese bites, and corn dogs that bring back all the fairground feels. And if you're not into meat, they've got some solid veggie options like the Double Spicy Mean Bean Burger or Cauliflower Popcorn Burger, so no one gets left out. But wait, there's more! If you've got a massive appetite (or just want to impress your mates), you can take on one of their epic Man vs. Food challenges. The Satan’s Lollipops challenge looks intense, but the reward—a spot on the wall of fame—might just be worth the pain. If you're into ribs, steaks, or chicken & waffles, they've got you covered with their combos and plates. The ribs are slathered in a sticky sweet bourbon glaze that sounds like heaven, and they source their beef from just down the road, so you know it's fresh. Huckleberry's is definitely not for the faint of heart or small of stomach, but if you're looking to indulge in some American comfort food with a twist, this is the spot!

must admit not my thing. 6 of us visited for some food but we only ate starters as the food was just too much and too greasy. kids loved the puddings.

The best ribs I have ever had in my life, would highly recommend and will definitely be back before my holiday ends.

Staff very friendly. Had steak and eggs. Paid restaurant price for a burnt steak. Tasted like burnt toast. Manager was totally uninterested in my complaint. Actually went out of our way to get there.Toilets disgusting. Never again.

Called in on a Monday on way back to Barnsley from Hummanby Gap purely as we had been here back in around 2014/15 was closed for a while and saw it was back open so called in though it looks it has changed owners as the decor seems to have been downgraded, looks more like a roadside cafe now with the exception of some stranger things posters n a pinball machine, Pretty quiet for a sunny Monday during school holidays, the waitress who served us was a northern lass she was great, however there was quite a few flies in there and the place is looking pretty tired and in dire need of a revamp. Didn't use the toilets before ordering and as others had said if I had or actually checked the reviews we might have not bothered, The blokes toilets are grim as, they stink of damp and pee, one toilet was missing a lid, bit of graffiti and a nice paddling pool of urine, not great, the boss aka my Mrs reports the women's wasn't much better, going by some of the reviews this has been a problem for in excess of 6 months?? Which begs the question if they can't be arsed to fix/keep the toilets clean, what else can't they be arsed with. I ordered a burger with candied jalapeños inside, though these just looked like normal jalapeños to me, there was no salad on the burger and it was a bit bland but there was plenty of meat, I also got some chicken tenders which were actually quite tasty, both were cooked thoroughly and the servings of chips was generous, we had milkshakes although they tasted alright, can't help but feel they would just nesquik or something similar. The food tasted alright, it was good value for money for what you got in terms of quantity, it wasn't anything to rant and rave about though, it's a shame really, I feel like they could have something really special here if they invested some money n time on the decor I.e get some furniture which has an American diner vibe and not that of a school cafeteria, and sorting out the toilets, (come on guys, wetherspoon toilets look like the Hilton by comparison), it's a sad day when you can't recommend a restaurant over a mcdonalds , but unfortunately this is the case,

Amazing food amazing atmosphere Amazing with children, when my young children were getting tired of being sat they came over and entertained them! Never experienced such service! Amazing people Amazing food. The children loved it, as dis we 😊 would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back!

Very impressed the food was tasty and the staff were so friendly

Great diner, staff really friendly and the meals were large enough for those with bigger appetites and really good quality.

Lovely American feel to the place. Was seated and ordered. Short waits on food and was warm and cooked well. Only gripe is location. You wouldn't plan a trip here as it's off a motorway

Didn’t want to leave one star as the waitress was friendly, however we were disappointed. Called in for a round of drinks on the way to Whitby and were told there was a wait on food - which is fair enough. We were then told as we began to place an order that unless we ordered a main meal we weren’t allowed to order an alcoholic drink “due to licensing laws”, had we had a chance to give our order they would have realised we had intended to have some food too but due to the assumption (and the fact that this was not stated in the menu or on a sign anywhere in the premises) we chose to leave without ordering anything. Toilet out of order and spare they offered instead was filthy. Atmosphere felt awkward and despite it supposing to be an “American diner” vibe it just felt like an empty white room with kitch signs on the wall - no music to be heard.. Won’t be calling here again.

Staff were amazing food was excellent especially the crispy bacon

Stopped for coffee. They had almond milk but no pouring cream.

Food luke warm. Coffee was cold and was returned. We had to wipe down table and seating ourselves. Customer toilets were out of order so had to use staff toilet. This was disgusting. Broken toilet seat on floor, broken wall tiles, dirty floor and sink and inside the bottom of the toilet was absolutely disgusting. Will definately not be visiting again.

Lucky to be getting a one-star. After travelling for hours & needing to use the rest room which by the way, was absolutely disgusting, the smell was awful. The cleanliness of the toilets was dirty too. I was told I had to purchase something to use the restroom. The cheapest option was £3.25 for a can of coke. Absolte joke will never go in here again. The staff weren't helpful or inviting.

Both male and female toilets were very dirty and made us think about how dirty the kitchen might be. Having checked out the menu we considered paying £16 for a burger to be excessive and not worth the money. A thank you to the manager for clearing a table for us both and our dog.

Came for a birthday meal with our children and grandchildren. Food was tasty and plentiful. The stand out feature was the service, particularly the way that the children were included; they loved helping out and really appreciated their tips! Shame about the toilets.

Rubbish food rubbish service charged extra and toilets and palce was very run down

Literally left the establishment 10 minutes ago. Food was not the best, soggy burger bun because it had been frozen. The hotdogs had toppings that resembled slop. They were very bland. Had to leave the side of corn on the cob as it had gone off. As we were halfway through a long journey, I visited the bathroom. Oh my gosh. It was squalor. It smelt strong of stale urine, the toilets themselves, well I don't think they have ever been cleaned since installation. I wouldn't let my children go. Instead, we got back in our car and went to a garden centre not far up the road. I just wish we had eaten there as well. I think a visit to Costco for afew gallon of bleach is the only tip I could give to Huckleberries.

Nice staff. Filthy toilets, blocked loos in cubicles, toilet paper and wee. Mens urinals same. Worst loos I have seen im a long time. Feel sorry for staff there.

We loved the mac & cheese and it was plenty big enough for me and my daughter to share especially as we were having dessert 🍨 🥧 🍦 🍡 will definitely be going back.

Lovely American diner with big portions

Lovely diner, food was amazing!! Would definitely recommend coming here. We watched a beard meets food video of him here, which inspired us to come and very happy we did.

Food was OK but the friendly staff made me want to return.

Wicked place, lovely staff and amazing food. Found it by chance en route from York to Whitby and will be making it okey off our annual journey there (it’s that good!). We had pancakes… next time we’re coming for the challenges! Thanks Jonathan and the team 🥰

We had such a wonderful visit here on our way to the seaside. The staff were so welcoming and really looked after ourselves and our little girl. She was given a balloon and loved playing with it. The balloon blew away in the car park as we left and a staff member ran out with another one! They really went the extra mile interacting with our daughter and checking in with us. The food was lovely and we will be back again.

Great atmosphere and the food was amazing, big portions, not cheap, but I got a lot more than I expected . Would return again anytime

Lovely friendly server, fast service, food cooked just right, and seasonings and drizzles were just right! Tried the donut burger, and was super impressed with the glazed donuts, worth a fun try if you have a sweet tooth and are brave. Those donuts made me keep eating. And loved the Stranger Things diner inspired decor!

We had a mixed experience. Chips were mediocre and very salty. Burger tasted burnt and lacked flavour. On the other hand ribs were nice and service good.

Friendly staff and great food, decent price.

We went here for my son's birthday and the host Jono went above and beyond to make it a fantastic experience. The food was really good, the milkshakes were amazing and the atmosphere even better. I just wanted to say a huge thanks for making it such a delightful experience. We will definitely be returning in the future. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you so much

Lovely staff, good food and dog friendly. It was nice to see the diner busy which creates a positive vibe. I would recommend

I’ve been with my husband twice now after hearing about how tasty the food was we decided to travel from blyth in Northumberland to give this diner a try… and boy were we amazed It’s got a real American feel and styled that way, the music is American country style-ish really cool, the cocktails are fantastic the food is out of this world real old fashioned style soul food Well worth the money and the travel, totally hits right 👌 You all have to go just to experience the magic this place creates.

We came here for breakfast this morning, we (and I) have been here a few times and it's been good up until the last 2 times... The quality of the food I had was good up until the point that I found a hair on the plate under my eggs, I pointed this out to one of their waiting staff and they did admittedly remove the drinks from our bill, though the only reason I'm highlighting this is the last time we visited here was on an evening a few months ago where we had eaten, got desserts and my wife had a hair on her plate, the concerning thing was that it was either a beard hair or a pube, from what we could see none of the kitchen staff had any sort of hairnet or hats on, so kitchen hygiene clearly isn't a priority anymore here. It's a bit out of our way and sadly I don't think we'll be rushing back any time soon, which is a shame because we like that bbq american style food.

Just a pitstop for a soft drink on a hot day. Very friendly staff.

The best customer service I’ve had. The service from Jono was amazing. The quality of the food is lovely and a really nice diner. Will be returning

Everyone was very cheerful and friendly and the food was lovely and cheap. Definitely recommend.

The staff were amazing and were kind and gave us a job as a waiter experience in exchange for claw Machine money visit every year

Really great American restaurant! We came here more as a fun stop but the food was really great quality - I had the Brunch Waffle which I highly recommend. It had the base of a sweet waffle, Haloumi, friend sunny side up egg and crispy bacon with maple syrup. The unlimited coffee was also really nice! Was pleasantly surprised and had a great breakfast. The service was also great - we were sat quickly and served nicely.

Staff were friendly and food was good. Didn't notice anything wrong with the toilets.

Amazing food and service. All the staff were really friendly. Made a fuss over my daughter. All good

This place can offer takeout or dine in options. Also, they have a reservation that can be planned. However, the payments are card only and can offer different beverages ranging from alcohol to coffee. This place allows dogs.

Food wasn’t great at all, wouldn’t go back ever again tbh, cost £50 wildnt have paid £20 for it. Toilets were dirty don’t waste your money going.

Huckleberry...you have been flawless in creating a relaxed environment and amazing food on two visits. John and Elle (Linda) both were amazing with their customer service and made the experience better as they were tentative, great with children and also provided appropriate humour. The food was delicious as the portion sizes were on the larger side however despite this, you're well looked after. We had dinner and were pleasantly astonished that ended up returning the morning after following our great experience. Again, flawless and an amazing dining experience. Would I recommend? 100%, although it is in the middle of no where, it is highly worth it. Driving past and acknowledging the place doesn't do justice. I've tried a lot of American diners however this one trumps the rest.

Great family day out at Huckleberry’s Diner York. Got defeated by the Chili Dog Challenge. Jon the owner was an amazing host. Really made us all feel welcome and even got my daughter cleaning the tables lol 😂 If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend this place for somewhere to eat.

Great food and friendly service.

Yummy and lots of the stuff is all home made, the fries are amazing

Friendly service and if you are in to good ‘ol boy vittles, then this is the place for you. Men’s toilet was pretty disgusting.

Amazing, no cheap but you get what you pay for, the slaw and veggie are def home done and the Fries are super

Came just now (24/05/2024 at 11am) only just left after having a beautiful breakfast with the husband and three children. All had milkshakes (blueberry one was incredible), kids had pancakes and mini full English, steak and eggs and breakfast burger. Absolutely gorgeous food. Husband then went on to have the moana burger and corn dogs. Again, bloody gorgeous. It's our daughters birthday and the lovely gentleman went and got a card for her, gave the kids some pennies to use the vending machine. The staff here go above and beyond. It's a phenomenal thing. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone. We've been a few times before since it reopened and every time it's been brilliant. Wasn't too much trouble to order Pecan Pie and Key Lime Pie to take home either... which the bloke understood immediately and even put in some disposable cutlery for me incase I want it on the way home! Thankyou Huckleberrys for a lovely morning. You superstars!

This place is ok if you just need to stop to refuel. Not a destination restaurant by any means. It has a general air of being run down , just going through the motions, there is no effort made to make it look welcoming. It was fairly empty when we visited but we still waited a fair while for the food to arrive, service was friendly and crayons were brought for our 4 yr old. I ordered a dish with a side order of onion rings, when it arrived there were already onion rings on the plate, I queried this and was told that yes, onion rings are part of this meal, so she hadn't brought the side order ?? The food was ok, but nothing special, fairly standard cheap café fare and certainly nowhere near fulfilled an authentic American diner experience. On the whole - disappointing.

Clean diner & the food was excellent

Terrible, air conditioning fans dirty, dust hanging, bathrooms dirty, the only thing made on site was an inedible salad. French fries are best frozen.

The diner itself is cute and the service is good as the staff is friendly, but I was very surprised that the reviews seem so great for this place as I genuinely don’t understand how because besides the friendly customer - the food was not very good, very overpriced and came out quite cold. The female bathroom smelled horrendously of urine and had no soap, and there was mould along the edges of the tables which we didn’t realise until the end and made us wonder and worry about the cleanliness of the rest of the establishment especially the kitchen. Within 30 minutes of leaving both my little ones were complaining of sore belly’s. I wouldn’t recommend and I wouldn’t go back.

Our waitress was great and super friendly. The food was below average and very bland, which was really disappointing as we were looking forward to our meals after reading all the 5 star the reviews. After eating there, I don’t believe the reviews are real, the food lacked flavour and the “thick shake” was like watered down chocolate milk. There was mould at our table which made us worried how clean the kitchen was. The bathroom was soaking wet, reeked of pee and didn’t have any soap. If I would have used the bathroom before ordering, we would have left immediately. We were surprised walking in to an empty restaurant at 5pm on a Friday, but understood why after eating there and using the bathrooms. It was also extremely overpriced. We spent 92£ for 3 adults and 2 children and it wasn’t worth more than 50£ altogether. I do not recommend this restaurant and would never return.

Great tasty food and service at a good price. Great authentic look of an American diner.

Ordered Canadian hot dog and big pig burger and milkshakes , bloody lovely 😍 highly recommend .

The ladies' toilets were filthy.. in need of cleaning and a paint job. Staff very misleading. We arrived at change over from breakfast to lunch.. they said 30 min wait.. we presumed that was until we received food. No... we couldn't order for 30 mins, then a 20 min wait... by then, we had ordered drinks.. an honest mistake, but staff need to be clearer when seating customers. £3.20 for bottle diet coke served in a bottle with a straw and at room temp...

Wouldn’t even let my six year old daughter use the toilet, she had to cross a busy road and go to the garage instead what miserable people

Food was good but the Coffee was not. We all enjoyed it. Especially the grand kids.

Lovely staff and food abit over priced for what you get but generally nice cocktails to die for but the hallway to the toilet seriously needs addressing it absolutely stunk of urine once in the toilet it wasn't to bad.

Staff were very welcoming and chatty. Dining area very uniquely decorated , toilets although although clean need an upgrade. Plenty of parking Food was disappointing, both meals were over cooked in fact charred . Coffee was delicious and sweets looked divine. Young male chef seemed to have eye on phone more than food . Shame really .

Had a pig burger with pulled pork OMG... the best burger I have ever had. Each element was delicious. The fries . Coleslaw everything.. then the milkshakes another Wow... Will definitely return when near the area again.

Our first visit here, and I can safely say that it was just the right thing in the right place. We were in need of a loo and refreshments and this place was ideal for both. The lasses here made us feel very welcome and were very very pleasant, which was more than welcome on a dreary, wet day where the traffic on the A64 was abysmally bad! Will be going back again when we're in the area, that's for sure!!

Staff so nice here very welcoming and can't do enough for you. Food was great too and plenty of it so wear your "big pants". Everything on one level so fairly accessible for people with disabilities.

Loved finding this place on the way to whitby. They have great vegan food. I had the cauliflower steak burger, it came with a pickle salad and fries. What a treat it was too. Was so tasty and filling. Would recommend anyone going to whitby to pop in on your way there. Its just outside of whitby. I'll definitely be going back. All cooked freshly too. Perfect .

I have looked forward to trying an American Diner for years. I was quite disappointed. The burger and sauages, weren't just chargrilled, they were char burnt, and dry as the dessert. We should have complained, but being a first visit didn't like to. I did mention it when I paid the bill. The service was slow, apparently due to the preparation of a large takeaway order. It wasn't what I expected of an American themed diner.

Had a veggie breakfast was lovely. Wasn't liking the attitude of the fella that served me.

Had a fantastic meal here with the family. They were incredibly welcoming and the food was incredible

Expensive food ,toilets not the best ,staff friendly, just not for us

Full breakfast £15 or as close as a penny! There is nothing to write home about! Was I considered poor on the cafe just down the road at almost half the price! And a much better breakfast 😋 shame though! Although Huckleberrys do a Hugh food challenge on several dishes that do fit the bill! And you can have your photo added to the hall of fame! I won't be put off by the breakfast, but won't go for another untill they improve them with quality and quantity! But will probably go back to have a go at some if these big eat meals! No idea how much they cost but they did look amazing in the pictures!

Great comfort food for a long journey!

The food was nice, just found the chips to be a bit too salty and the burger patty was slightly burned. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated with a wall of previous people who completed or failed one of their food challenges.

Great service and food was exactly what it said on the menu. Me and grandson couldn't eat it all so the gave us a takeaway box to put the rest in and take with us.

Me and partner had amazing time we loved the food and the atmosphere

Everything was 10/10 ! We called for breakfast and weren't starving so we just had a breakfast bap but it was beautiful! The staff were super friendly and couldn't do enough to help! The cup of tea hit the spot too! We will definitely be back !!!

Just been for our sons birthday amazing food . Thankyou ❤️
