Avoid pulling over or parking here at all costs. Diner employs an extortionate car management firm that fines drivers between £60-£100 regardless of length of stay or whether you even get out the car. I pulled over to take a call as the adjacent fuel station was full and had a fine of £60. Daylight robbery.

Avoid like the plague people their parking situation is a scam ! Charged £100 for parking because they refused me a receipt to prove that I eat at the establishment !! How bad is that !! I complained and put the phone down on me twice as they said it’s not there problem .. pathetic behaviour! Just like their overall service!! As you can imagine I wouldn’t be going back there again!!

I really liked it here. The waitress was charming, the milkshake was mind blowing and I felt like I was teleported to a scene of Pulp Fiction before anyone gets a gun out. Great for fussy eaters and kids eat free. Bathrooms were clean and well supplied. Many of the drinks also come with free refills just ask the staff, and you can take food to go as well.

Avoid at all costs!! Their car parks are run by a cowboy parking company who will send you an invoice for £100 if your vehicle enters the grounds and the staff inside don't get you to put your reg into an ipad. The company director seems to be actively trying to harm his own business, driving customers away unless they for some reason kept a recipt of a breakfast that they ate weeks prior. I've never experienced such appalling service. Disgusting!

Visited on a few occasions and has always been great but tonight it was not good by any means Waited over half an hour for 3 hot dogs and one burger there was only 5 tables in including ours so wasn't busy chef looked bored and uninterested in his job I saw half of our order on the counter waiting to be brought over the first two plates to come the chips were cold and tasted like cardboard the hot dog was Luke warm at best the chilli wasn't like it had been heated at all I wasn't going to complain whilst in there as it was my son's birthday meal and he suffers with ADHD and really bad anxiety it would have upset him too much Can honestly say we will not be visiting again which is a shame cause my son loves the diner vibe 😞

I enjoyed excellent food, drinks and atmosphere here this afternoon, delivered by friendly and welcoming waitressing staff and chef, in a Rock 'n' Roll music vibe diner. (Worth a mention also, is that the tables and all of the condiments , sauces etc, were immaculately clean and well presented.) Highly recommend!

Only a couple minutes to wait for a table, was warned of about an hour's wait for food but they were upfront about it so we said ok. Ordered starters and they arrived about 15-20 minutes after and the mains arrived maybe half an hour later at the very most. Food is excellent, good portion sizes even for larger appetite diners like myself and reasonably priced for what you'd pay these days for a sit down meal. Would happily go again and already looking forward to doing so!

Yeah, that was the worst location I've ever been. The food was so bad that I wish I could go back in time and never have digested it—in fact, I wouldn't even call it food. Additionally, I received a fine for parking in their lot, and the restaurant declined to assist me claiming it had no connection to them.

Like the name says, it’s OK, wait time for two full breakfasts is around 1 hour based on our 4 experiences there. Staff are nice but very frantic, “busy” is 10-15 people for them. Probably won’t go back now, cleanliness has gone downhill if I’m honest. Disappointing as there good staff to customers ratio.

Came one Wednesday afternoon. Was waiting 25 minutes before someone even came and took our order. There was a rude women behind us demanding better seats and that she got fed first. She was accommodated better then us. Place was dirty, not just tables and seats but menus were too. My drinking glass was dirty and had the last person's meal on. The food wasn't warm when it came out. And the server dropped half of our fries on the table when bringing it out.

I enjoy the OK Diner, been to this one a few times and will definitely go again, the food is lovely and always has been, my last vist my wife and I met up with my daughter and partner, we felt the service was not very attentive and it's like they only want to use half the room so you find yourself sitting in the same place you did last time. Would of been nice to a bit more space and different view. However, It wouldn't put me from going again, it's in a good location and easy to find, great menu, plenty to choose from and my daughter is vegetarian, she was impressed with the choices. The milkshakes are to die for. Looking forward to going again soon, many thanks

Terrible service waited over 50 min for food. Wouldn't have minded the wait. If they had informed us at the start, there would be a wait. When the food was finally served, the chicken on the Americal grill was overcooked, and the butter for the jacket potato contained toast bread crumbs, we had no toast! Other items were very greasy. Will not be returning again.

Used to come here regularly but it has really gone downhill. It is nothing like an American diner, service was abysmal, waited over an hour for food while the servers quite literally ignored us (wasn't even that busy) and was eventually served food that was quite literally stone cold. Neither meal was eaten and to compensate for waiting over an hour for COLD food I was offered a 15% discount which I would have received anyway for being in the members club. Extremely disappointing, inadequate and unprofessional service. Will not be coming here again. Prices have also gone up massively. Very expensive for very mediocre/bland food, even when it is served hot. Not worth the money at all.

Great burgers. Going on a Wednesday means you pay half price or less on a selection of burgers if you buy a drink. You get chips with this and a very tasty relish dip. Lots of parking space. Amazing puddings and milk shakes. Hard to fit in after the burger. Unlimited coffees, on particular selection, the same with soft drinks. Very kid friendly.

I love ok diner - when I lived in Darlington I used to go to the one up there, and I've been to the other one near Nottingham a few times. This one was an incredible disappointment. The building itself seems older than the other diners I've been to and it was absolutely freezing inside. The staff were not quick to attend to us while we were waiting to be seated, and while no one was impolite, the service was just really lacking and seemed like some of them had never served before. We ordered the food but it took almost an hour to get it, which I wouldn't have minded too much if I'd been warned first but we were absolutely starving after a very long drive. The food that came definitely didn't seem as good as the other ok diners, not awful, just very very average (chips were decent though). I didn't order them but also really disappointed to see that the pancakes they charge a fair bit for are pre made in little blue packets for the waiters to heat up in the microwave which, considering how easy pancakes are to make and they are quite a staple of American themed restaurants is a bizarre choice. Would definitely recommend a different ok diner.

The pancake short stack was delicious!! Almost wish I'd gone for the full 8 pancakes instead! Mia who served us was excellent, and always served with a smile. Atmosphere was a little on the quiet side, but little to dampen our holiday mood en route to the Peak District. EDIT: Returned to OK Diner, had the long pancake stack and so worth the wait, and Mia served us again, and was excellent again!

Wanted to love this place - kids eat free thing makes it very cheap with young kids… staff all friendly Service was slow as the poor waitresses are also on the drinks/shakes station… I wanted a dessert but didn’t bother as scared it would of taken even longer - while the kitchen staff didn’t seem particularly busy and I heard the microwave wayyy too often Some tweaks and I’d be here every week! Probably won’t go back and I’m gutted … I’d happily pay £7.50 for the kids menu if service was fast and food was less microwaved

Just been to this place as a family of 5 and they forgot to cook one of our meals. We waited a long time for awful oil tasting fries and burger with pink in the middle. The fries were served with green and black ends so obviously cheap frozen chips are being served. I also took a look through the hatch at the kitchen when we left and it was dirty with bits of food all over the surfaces.

I like coming to these places, it's always a warm welcome in an otherwise lonely place (the side of a dual carriageway). The food isn't going to blow you away but it's quite good. The coffee is, to be honest, very bad. And yet I always pop into an OK Diner when I get the chance, because they get points for effort and charm in a world that is turning into just subways and burger kings.
