We love this place. We often pop in to get a box of chips to eat by the sea and the chips are always crisp and delicious. The staff are the best part of this diner, always so polite and lovely. Always our first choice when we're out in Teignmouth.

This IS the place to eat in Teignmouth. Lovely food, very well priced, excellent service, great facilities and a great location. Sea views from the upstairs restaurant and even a serving hatch for takeaway food for the seafront. This place is a must-visit. Even without the competitive pricing, the service would be worth trying this place for; but with both competitive pricing AND great service, it's a really good bet!

We stopped in for a light lunch, with our toddler, the food was reasonably priced, and very tasty. We just had a couple of sandwiches and a bowl of chips. It was cooked well and enjoyable. We opted to sit upstairs so that we wouldn't be in anyones way with the pushchair, and the staff offered to bring a highchair up for us, they were all attentive and friendly. We would definitely return when we visit Teignmouth again

We went here because most places were shut ( mid afternoon and terrible weather) the seating is fixed and a little tight, the service was alright. We had fish and chips, and it was ok as a cafe meal, but we would go to a fish and chip restaurant next time . You get what you pay for,it filled the spot but there are better places for fish and chips.

Standard cod and chips £8 quid, no other size option. Worst fish I’ve had since moving to Devon 5 years ago. Shocking in fact. Overcooked, frozen tasting mush. Can’t believe a fish and chip char on the seafront is serving this! Yes we not got take away, it would be returned. Chips decent but this should be a given! Service was friendly.

Maybe it was because they were busy, but that has to be the worst food we have ever been served. The meal consisted of cod and chips. My wife and I were so disgusted by the food served to us we walked out leaving the food all bar a couple of chips. Firstly this is a diner and takeaway, the staff took the order and money for the food in the diner but then served the takeaway first leaving the customers in the diner waiting for ages. Secondly, when the 'Food' finally arrived 'and in my opinion' the cod was clearly cooked from frozen, barely warm, undercooked, very watery and of extremely poor quality. We walked out in disgust. As I said at the start it was busy, but that is no excuse for serving up food 'that in my opinion' was disgusting. A real shame because the rest of our experience at the airshow was fantastic.

What a disapointing meal - Found a relatively clean table, sat down and waited for service - ignord by staff member serving. Went to the counter and told to order food there. Had to get own cutlery - some of it dirty, had to change over two forks. Placed order - food arrived quickly, obviously heated from frozen rather than fresh. Food did not look particularly appetizing, dull brown batter on the cod, fish more grey than white, no peas withthe fish and chips - just a few dead leaves. Chips not particularly good - overcooked and too many hard small bits. Ordered chixken breast - got four small slices of chicken brest, rubbery texture and tasteless. Coffee was nice, soft drink was minute. Overall an expensive poor quality meal. Next time we will go to Morrisons and get a far better meal for far less money.

Visited this restaurant today with a friend for a fish and chip lunch, never again! It was the worst fish and chips that I have ever eaten in my life. The chips were dry and difficult to swallow. What can I say about the fish, well nothing praiseworthy. The batter was dark brown, dry and solid, the cod inside dry, thin and looked old. My friend had plaice, it could barely be found inside the breadcrumbs it was so small and thin. My friend visited the ladies toilet and ended up using the mens because the only ladies toilet didn’t flush so the pan was full of toilet paper! Need I say more. I regret not using the fish and chip shop that was down the road a little further and had a queue outside, maybe their customers were more discerning.

This place is a gem of Teignmouth (maybe I should keep quiet, so I can always get a seat!) this is our go to place for reasonably priced food and coffee, which is always served with a smile and we always enjoy the quality of the food given, they work very hard to clear up and keep it clean, I get that the seats are not the most comfortable as they are fixed, however I get how much easier it is for them to clean around on the floor due to this. There is further seating on the first floor where seats can be moved and outdoor seating should this be an issue for anyone. They are always busy with regular customers always returning, which should tell you something ☺️

I've been going to the Seaview Diner for years, my mum lives in Teignmouth and it's one of her favourites. Since moving to Torbay myself, those visits have become more frequent - it's situated right next to the stop for my bus home, so I'll often pop in for a coffee while I wait. Food-wise, the all day breakfast is great, but their burgers are among the best I've tasted! It's design and layout means several tables have a window view of sunny Teignmouth, but the lighting (pictured) also adds to the ambience during cloudier days out of season.

Many times, esp: during latish summer/autumn evening, I have seen tourists looking for a place such as the Seaview Diner to feed obviously hungry kids and there is no doubt that the Seaview is top of my recommendation list. Quite fast service and fresh food with a good selection of coffees, teas and soft drinks. After being a customer since the 1970's & then a resident since the late 1990's, the Seaview is a welcome sight on any day or night when we are in town.
