V-Ate Pit Stop in Boston

My partner and I came here for our 2 year anniversary meal and it was incredible, such a shame they are closing. The staff are kind and welcoming too!

Once you get past the very friendly service , awsome atmosphere and great decor you arrive at quite simply the greatest burger meal ever!!! Had a great evening for my lads birthday and can’t wait to come back

Living near to the V-ATE smoke house we attend regularly. The staff are great and remember my daughter’s choice, real personal experience welcoming us by name. Food is great. A quick game of mini bowling after great fun. Good menu choice and nice coffee

We’ve been meaning to visit for a while but now regret leaving it so long! It was a fairly last minute decision to go, but was easy to book and well worth the journey. Bowling was great fun and reasonably priced. Followed by a meal which was delicious. The atmosphere was great, service very friendly and despite some slight confusion with our order, which was rectified quickly and efficiently, the food was piping hot and really tasty. We will definitely return.

Wow what a lovely few hours we spent there. My Wife and I and two grandsons 8/10. From the friendly greeting upon arrival to the drink and food. Milkshakes were heavenly (alcohol on the drinks list also) Great food for everyone, kids loved their fries n chicken tenders. Wife was gluten free but she had a good selection to choose from (for a change) I had a spicy garlic chicken. We all had enough food, there were desserts but we all abstained. After the food we ordered more drinks, then we went and had a go at the Duck pin bowling, we had a right laugh playing that, the staff were all young and very professional and polite, we was there over a couple of hours . I went to pay the bill and it was £51. Food drinks and bowling for four of us, I’ve spent more in McDs ( which is across the road) with no experience. We had drove 40 minutes to get there and I was a little bit nervous on whether it was going to be worth it, the answer is Yes. The last thing to say is I WILL BE BACK, The last thing

Found this place just by chance when looking for a pit stop and glad we did. The food was delicious, good value (we purchased from the 2 for £15 lunch menu) and loved the decor. Such a shame we live nearly 2 hours away so unlikely to visit again unless passing

Food excellent and ample portions Very friendly helpful staff Went for a. Catch up with nurse friend s carefull where you park if you park near mc ds there’s a time limit I got fined so beware

First time visiting. Well worth the journey. Loved the decor. Tasty food with bargain offers. Staff very welcoming and attentive. Duck pin bowling great addition. It was a fun evening for two adults and two teenagers 😊 we’ll definitely visit again.

Chose this restaurant whilst travelling as my son loves cars and he wasn’t disappointed. Neither were anyone else as we all enjoyed our food and drinks. The service was great and the bill was very reasonable, especially compared to similar chain restaurants. Would definitely visit again when we’re next driving through.

Went as a spur of the moment visit. Waited as the staff were all chatting to get a table. The lady got off the phone and said there was a table. There was 3 of us. We was taken to the back bit menus put down and then left for 20 mins. Tried to get the attention of a server and they were all too busy talking. Not happy as travelled to visit.

Wonderfully themed restaurant, lots of pictures to show the conversion of the seating areas. The waiting staff are very helpful and friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit.

Looked for a place to stop for lunch on the A17 that wasn't the usual garage or golden arches offerings. Great food, loved the decor and flawless service by Chloe. We had the 2 for £15 lunch menu, lasagne bites and the pork dog along with some corn ribs. Amazing flavours and really generous portions.

Great place for all the family, fabulous atmosphere with great food and well priced, had professional and courteous service from Chloe and Ellice, they appeared to go above and beyond for us all and are a credit to the company, Highly recommend this restaurant/diner

Saw this place on tiktok and decided to go to celebrate my birthday with my partner and 2 children and it didn’t disappoint! Amazing food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Just wish it was closer to home as we’d be here all the time!

I was shown this place by my partner who had seen the tik tok and yea it looked sick the cars etc but I did think it was another gimmick café/restaurant. Oh boy was I wrong.... when we went in there was a big line of youngsters ordering takeaway milkshakes (knew they where going to be good) we sat and ordered and couldn't stop looking around the place and reading the history about the Restoring of the vehicles and admiring the awesome cars and decor. The bowling is a nice touch and we will definitely book it for next time. But... the real nitty and gritty (for me) is the food, and bloody Nora did it deliver... I got the sausage (can't remember what it was exactly) it was but I loved it, the burgers are sooo juicey and flavoursome, oh are the chips ..... hell yes 🙌 the best chip cruch and flavour. And grab a milkshake even if its for the way home. big thank you to out waiting staff Harlee and charlie fantastic service. We can't wait to return

Brilliant !! Popped in for our first visit there, seen it but never been. Service prompt and polite. Food was very quick and arrived quickly and loads of it. Definitely recommend and will go back. Big thanks to Chloe and Ellie today.

After seeing the restaurant on TikTok we had to visit and we were NOT disappointed- this place is amazing. The vehicles are fantastic adding to the overall atmosphere, but best of all was the service and the food! I would 100% recommend! We will most certainly be back. I had the brisket lasagne and my husband had the rack of ribs - they were delicious! The children loved their kids meals as well.

Booked a table for 7 people and booked to bowl. The service we received was excellent. From first calling and speaking with Ellie, nothing was an issue. She went above and beyond to give us a great experience. We visited for my sons 16th birthday. She even decorated our table with Birthday banners. Service was very quick. Nothing was an trouble. Will definitely be returning.

Delicious meal with friends glad we had smaller portions though as ample amount for light appetites service was lovely nothing too much trouble certainly will be going back

Stopped here to break up a journey. There were 12 of us and we hadn’t booked, we were greeted warmly and quickly seated. The food was really good and the kids loved their milkshakes. Would definitely recommend it.

Live this place - it’s so unique with the different cars made into seats. The staff are very friendly and made us feel most welcome. The food was very good quality, cooked well and good portions. We went later in the evening so more themed for adults only

We love the food at V-ate and would eat here much more often if it was just a bit more reasonably priced. We used to visit the original restaurant, before it moved to this service station, which had a better atmosphere and felt a bit more special. I think the addition of the small bowling alley has changed the venue in a negative way, it was better with just the dining tables, and has cheapened the venue a bit. The whole service station feel makes the high price of food and drinks a bit harder to swallow (no pun intended). I have noticed the restaurant is getting quieter over the time it has been on this site, and I think a price reduction is needed to attract more people, but that is just my opinion.

This is the 3rd time we have visited and this time we requested a table for 4 adults plus the truck table for our 4 year old grandson. He had seen the truck on our previous visit and so longed to have his lunch in it. Thank you V-ATE for making that possible. The food was great and we followed the meal with a bowling session. Great fun. The staff were wonderful, making the whole 2 hours enjoyable and ensuring that we had everything we needed at all times. All in all much more than just a meal very reasonably priced.

This is a sweet little place. The tables are all themed which is cute but a little small. We had 8 people around one table but as three of our boys are teenagers we needed more room. The food was great. I had brisket lasagne which was different, in a good way. My boys each chose a burger and were defeated by them. Definitely coming back soon, will be bowling too.

We have eaten at V-Ate many times in the past and have always enjoyed the delicious food they serve. The burgers are amazing, the lasagne is to die for and the milkshakes are yummy. The menu offers a good selection of food options, is always presented well and is piping hot. On Sunday we decided to sample the new roast dinner and we were definitely impressed. There was a good selection of vegetables, the roasts and yorkie puds were homemade and certainly not from a bag and the meat was cooked perfectly. The portion size was deceptive but definitely more than enough and the homemade stuffing was out of this world! 😋😋😋 We ate everything we were served and left with very full bellys…we were very much satisfied and will be back to enjoy it again. If you’re looking for a funky, vibrant, buzzing place to eat then head for V-Ate. It’s a unique place with a cool atmosphere, the food is of a high standard and the staff are extremely efficient and polite!!!

We were here for the Sunday lunch event. It was quite peaceful and welcoming, yet nice to see families enjoying the food and banter. Service was pleasant, swift and courteous. We decided to have 2 courses and hot drinks. The main course of 3 meats was delicious. The vegetables were all freshly cooked and there was gravy aplenty. Couldn’t fault the food or the service. The puddings were cheesecake and oaty apple crumble. Very tasty and decent portions. The feeling here is that the Staff care and work hard to make it an enjoyable experience. We will look forward to returning and trying the mid week menu. There’s something for all ages here and it appears to be a hidden gem. First time and we will be back thanks all.

Food is fantastic. Ambience is excellent. Booking is easy. Had a miscommunication with the payment but sorted out in a very professional way. Highly recommended.

We went for breakfast with Santa . The food was excellent and the service was brilliant. We have been many time before but not for breakfast. The staff were excellent with the children. The Santa books were spaced out too so it didn’t feel really busy .

First time visiting, food and staff were great especially Katie, noisy bowling alley though. Latte would be better a bit hotter . Will certainly go back and sit in the smaller room away from bowling.

Really nice place, staff very friendly , professional, nothing was too much trouble for them, we had a party of 8 and the place was very busy. Food was great and large portions. Will definitely go there again

We love V-ATE We normally have all 3 courses but went out for roast dinner but couldn’t resist coming for desserts and bowling Such a friendly, clean restaurant The staff are amazing

Very noisy with the bowling lane in use. Slow service and fairly limited menu. Food was nice and was lovely and hot.

We had such an amazing time here. My son loves the Car Theme of the restaurant and we had such a fun time bowling while we were waiting for food, The food was amazing and the staff were so attentive and friendly . We will...

I was very happy with the service I booked a table and I rang up to say I was running late by 10 minutes and they added an extra 5 minutes on top of the already 10 minutes. There are plenty of spaces for parking....

Lovely food, impressive inside with all the different cars. Very quirky. Very accommodating with a young baby and pram. Good service from Chloe and Charlie

Katie couldn't have been more helpful. The kids loved it, we all enjoyed our food. The visit was finished off with bowling 🎳. Can't wait to go back. Thanks again. Maggie and family.

Absolutely fantastic visit here. We came as a family for my 3 year olds birthday. It was amazing. The children loved the different vehicles. We all really enjoyed our food, which are very decent portions. We also loved our drinks! The staff are incredibly polite...

I've been wanting to come here for a while now and finally got the opportunity to go! We were seated in the yellow car and it was a fab experience! The decor of this place is just amazing! The staff were great and really accommodating....

Took my Grandson for lunch and a game of bowling. Food was plentiful and very nice and was served hot. It is table service now which is so much nicer! Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Also witnessed the very thorough cleaning of 2 large...

This is a fun place with brilliant interior design. The food was good. However the service wasn't brilliant even though it wasn't busy! It was very noisy due to the Bowling and this made it very difficult to chat and hear each other while we...

We have been here multiple times. We decided to take a group of friends out for lunch, only to find they have installed 3 ten pin bowling lanes. It was super noisy and spoiled the whole experience. We booked a table for 8 and they...

V-ATE cleavily fuses automotives and delicious food and drink, in an exciting atmosphere with fun bowling on the side. There is a delicious and varied menu, including signature and build your own burgers, hot dogs, nachos, wings and loaded fries, and not forgetting indulgent deserts....

Such a well thought out and fantastic little find! A real surprise when you enter, you can’t see from the outside just how nice and fun the set up is…for adults as well as kids. My husband had been before and we were passing so...

I booked V-ATE to celebrate GCSE results day for my son and my cousin who had both received their GCSE results on the 24/08/23. 14 of us went in total and this comprised 3 adults and 11 children. katie at V 8 had ensured our...

1st visit and won't be the last. Great atmosphere,great food. Would recommend booking though as it is a bit noisy if you're sat near the bowling area. Staff were friendly and helpful and my whole family loved the concept. Keep up the good work !!!

Upon arrival the greeting was quick and friendly, but then everything was poor thereafter. It took ages for anyone to take a drink order, when she did we asked if we could order food too as we’d been there so long, she said something about...

Staff were extremely unhelpful and rude didn't seem to care about their customers. My son had accidently knocked over a drink and we asked for some assistance explaining what had happened... the staff handed over some blue roll with no offer of help at all....

I think the theme and the staff were amazing.. couldn’t fault the service, very friendly. However, the food was awful. Don’t bother ordering the brisket loaded nachos, the meat tasted what you’d imagine dog food to taste like. It was dry with a tiny drizzle...

We stopped here for a meal halfway through a 4 hour journey, we wanted a change from McDonalds next door. Theming is great, really different, would be great for kids particularly with the small bowling alley. Food is typical American diner, would be nice to...

Amazing little diner which is so quirky and fun for not just children!!! We went for lunch as a couple and the food was so good! We shared the ribs and a steakhouse cheese which was amazing! Big portions of chips on each too. Highly...

Loved it, we ended up going twice in the same week whilst on holiday. Love the theme of the cars followed by mini bowling which was perfect for our 3 year old. The food was great.

This is a little gem of a restaurant. Since discovering it three months ago, we've been three times. The menu is varied without being too big and the food is well cooked and tasty. But the big draw for me is the decor; kind of...

Different to say the least. Found it advertised as a bikers cafe ? More like a children fun fair , it must have cost a fortune and was very well presented and also very clean. Service was slow and the food was fresh and tasty,...

Wasn't sure what to expect .. Bowling was the mini one so really only suitable for young children.. Ours 8 and 11 were not interested. Food I found quite pricey for what we had.. Hot dog.. nachos and kids tenders .. Plus 4 soft drinks...

Absolutely outstanding service end to end, and the food was fresh, hot, full of flavour and most definitely handmade. I have paid double those prices, and more, for just as good burgers in London hotspots!! Great, fun atmosphere and highly recommend!

I spotted V-Ate on the map and suggested we go for an evening of bowling and a meal. One arrivaal my first question was 'where was the bowling alley', it turned out to be a miniature one at the side of the restaurant. I almost...

Lovely food along with welcoming and friendly staff. This is a great place to take kids or car enthusiasts, but it wouldn't be for you if you want somewhere quiet to dine. The prices on some of the food and drinks are extortionate though, £5.95...

This place is amazing if your gluten free altering the menu to meet your needs the food is spot on and the staff are a+

Noisier than expected because of the bowling. Very slow service. Food put on paper then onto bowl/tray. Stuck to paper and difficult to remove. Manageress was unable to give us a price of cocktails when asked. Unknown packaging in Eton mess which they seemed to...

We had great fun bowling with the grand children. They enjoy the drinks and snacks too. Plus the cars are such fun. Our favourite go to place in the school holidays.

Pleasant staff to start with great decor through out. However the food portions and quality was somewhat lacking, the nachos were soft and had a horrible sauce on top which was supposed to be cheese? The onion rings was also soft and soggy just tasted...

Came to V Ate for my son's 12th birthday meal out with bowling, his choice. We were greeted by welcoming staff . The lane wasn't available to begin with, so we walked about and admired the restaurant and how it was set up. The seating...

Came and had a visit with fellow ROCers on Sunday, we arrived about 1pm...greeted with a professional service from a lady called Chloe I believe. We had a wicked game of bowling...one of the names being "Pirate" the food...if you want American style diner food...then...

We visited early Feb 2023. I was not sure what to expect after reading mixed reviews. I am glad to say it was a really good and we all enjoyed it. The place, decor, food and staff were all really nice. The kids (early teens)...

We visited in half term, we came with 3 children, we all enjoyed the bowling and our meals afterwards. We will definitely be visiting again.

A last minute decision, booked a table which was ready on arrival, in fact a choice of two. The waitress was very polite and no rushing us, drinks soon arrived, and we placed our order. Portion size was good, and the food excellent, 3 clean...

Having been told how good it was we decided to have lunch today. The restaurant theme was great and clean. The staff were nice and friendly. The food was awful. The drinks came first and the coffees and hot chocolate were tepid. The slush and...

The decor is brilliant. The service was spot on. Food was good. Amazed people are comparing this to McD's. There is no comparison - I need to be desperate to visit McD's - V-ate has just become somewhere I'll highly recommend and go out of...

Having been to the old restaurant site and loving it, we were looking forward to trying the new location. Positives ; The food was hot, tasty and fresh. However the negatives were that you had to queue up to order food even though you’d reserved...

Had been waiting to try this diner for a while, so grabbed the opportunity whilst passing through Portion size was very small and fries came in a carton like McDonald’s ! Paid £15 for small burger fries and a coke ! Food quality was very...

We had been meaning to visit here for some time and finally did for our sons birthday. He loved all of the cars, the interior was impressive. Unfortunately the food was not up to the same standard. It was an average burger and chips. Some...

Look at the photos and Vate promises a lot. The decor is incredible. Sadly, that is where the positives end. It is a frozen, Cash n Carry bonanza. the onion rings, fries, ribs, tots, burger patties, cheese sauce, etc etc etc are all the cheapest...

American theme food & drinks. Milkshakes, burgers etc. Great themed tables like old American cars. Good service.

We had been meaning to visit this place with our young children for some time as we don't live too far away. Finally visited after a family day out nearby. This place has a great vibe to it. The decor was amazing and the music...

My husband had been told about V-Ate and seeing as though we were travelling that way we decided to stop in and give it a go As soon as we entered we were immediately impressed - the first think you see is all the different...

Excellent interior, but that is the best bit. Disinterested staff, poor quality food. Chips were not good, the Texas burger with BBQ sauce consisted of a tea spoon smear of sauce. Coleslaw was unedible. We told the waiter who shrugged her shoulders. We will have...

Was looking forward to eating here (what a let down). Ordered two different versions of the pulled pork which was virtually dumped on the table without the waitress saying which was which. The pulled pork was cold at the edge and barely luke warm in...

Great food. Awesome environment and great staff. Shame you are miles away… but will be back as soon as I can. I love the wall with your history of car purchases

Took friends and daughter, she loved it and we all had a good time. Clean and efficient food was quick and fresh. Everything arrived at the same time by great staff. Price was good too. Will be on our list of places to take visitors....

It’s ok. But always nearly empty which speaks volumes really. Seemed nice and clean.. novelty cars / tables Waiting staff ok.. but don’t add anything to the experience. Shocking prices.. biggest let down. £10 for burger.. oh and remember you have to pay extra for...

Very poor experience after looking forward to coming for months. As a couple who loves cars seeing the website for this place looked a great place to come, arrived and it's nothing like the photos. It based in the back of a petrol station. Food...

When we arrived (didn’t book) we were really surprised to see this amazing venue near empty, There was one other family in the Diner… Now Diner is exactly what this place is…. Reading some reviews I think they were expecting a Michelin restaurant 🤣 For...

Greeted and take to our table but offered the van which we sat in Ordered drinks and food, found the service to be quick friendly and helpful. The music was epic and the restaurant itself was so clean and tidy. The food for the price...

Well... we stopped here and almost went to mcdonalds but one of our party preferred the diner experience. Worst decision ever. This was around 7pm. Prime time but not really busy at all. Firstly the staff seemed almost shocked we wanted a table, then sat...

We visited as a family on the way home from holiday and this was easily the best part of our holiday. The food was delicious and very fast. The decor is incredible such a cool idea and done very well. But by far the best...

Some of the negative reviews we read before going are definitely harsh and I’m glad they didn’t put us off. We went with our 3 year old who loved the cars/truck/bike etc! The food was nice and the staff were very friendly. Thanks for a...

We visited this restaurant with our children, the food was overpriced very small portions and so salty. The loaded fries were appalling. The normal fries cold. The toilets were disgusting. Save your money and go elsewhere. The prices are very expensive for what you get...

Myself and my son had A nice breakfast in fun surroundings. Lots of cars to choose from to sit and enjoy your meal.

Food average, comes out just warm, expensive for the portion sizes. If you want the experience of sitting in a car while eating, go to McDonalds !!

Loved our visit, such a cool concept! Food was great, the branding was great! Cleanliness: the place was immaculate, which is hard when your tables are made out of cars! Hospitality: staff were cool, friendly and efficient. Atmosphere: great vibe and really busy when we...

We had been meaning to visit here for a while but with it being 2 hours away we had to wait until we were nearby. It definitely lived up to our expectations & this is great for car lovers. Felt very nice & clean too....

Visited with friends. So expensive for the portion sizes. Unfortunately came away still hungry. Don't think will visit again as have been told about other places close by who offer the American/smokehouse vibe that we haven't yet explored and these (apparently, we will see) offer...

Pseudo-American diner that just doesn't live up to the hype. If you like over-priced small portions of food, this place is perfect for you. The 3oz burger patties here (yes, 3oz - not 4oz / quarter pounder, but 3oz) are "special" apparently - so special...

Picked an absolutely perfect day to take a road trip to V-ATE with Auto Anonymous (Car Club). From the second we arrived we had people ready and waiting to welcome us! Lovely lady helped to park us all up and was clear to tell us...

I’ve eaten here a few times now and tried various things on the menu - always fantastic without fail. Portions are generous and tasty and there is plenty to choose from. The restaurant itself is interesting and quirky. It’s also absolutely immaculate every time I’ve...

Best burger I have ever had. Wife liked her halloumi cheese meal too. Decor very good. Staff friendly. My only negative was we didn’t get an acknowledgment when leaving although I appreciate they were busy.

We came for breakfast last weekend, and wanted to visit again. I really enjoyed my breakfast at the weekend but today’s late lunch wasn’t as good. Portion sizes are on the small size, we had the halloumi burger which was nice but not a large...

The inside of the cafe looks fantastic- allot of time has gone into making the interior look this good - Staff are spot on - very helpfull and pleasant Food however- i asked for a meal which contains mushrooms - so asked if it could...

Even after reading the bad reviews I wanted to visit, being the car nut I am. From first impressions the place has been put together so well, the attention to detail is great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, quick and competent. The food……...

My second visit to V-Ate today and I can't fault the place! The place is full or vehicle memorabilia and you can even dine inside a car or truck! The menu offers a variety of different meals, all of which are reasonably priced and good...
