The classic toasted cheese won’t disappoint you. Go for it!

I'm sorry, I wish I could provide a better review, as I feel bad for the owners, who are clearly just trying to keep up. There were two people working, a line-up out the door (about a 35 minute wait to order), it was very dirty because they were having a hard time cleaning up tables. Almost every table had dirty dishes with a ton of uneaten leftover food, which should have been my tip-off. I was surprised by the very reasonable prices, much lower than comparable places, but this is clearly because they are serving a very low-grade beef - in fact, I wasn't sure what meat it actually was, it was stretchy when I pulled on it, more filler than any kind of meat, and neither my husband nor I could eat it. We gave it to the dog. The fries were okay, but out of a bag. Simpler menu items like milkshakes, etc. might be a little more reliable. Raise the prices, hire people to cook and clean, and improve the quality of the food - you won't be around long, otherwise.

Absolutely the best burgers on the lower mainland so far, prove me wrong. Service is apparent - it's run by only 2 or 3 people, have patience, it's worth it. It's a constant, craved - go to. Eat in or dine out on the front, or side street, or at the park next door. Where is John Catucci? Because - You gotta eat here!

From the exterior facade we had higher hopes than our experience we were served. It looks cool, but when you side down you notice the place is run down, tired and appears to need a good deep clean.The service was friendly, but not excellent. The choices on the menu or of typical fast food diner. But the prices were more than their website states but quite a bit.The food was mediocre at best. Certainly not worth the costs.It could be much better and it unfortunately failed in all aspects and the cool factor quickly went away as its all but “retro” aside from a couple of worn gimmicky pieces of art and an Elvis statue which doesn’t look like Elvis.We would not return.

We stopped for lunch on a whim, I'm really glad we did! Quick and courteous service CRISPY french fries. The items on the menu are value priced, which is a pleasant surprise for the trendy Fort Langley main street. We'll be back to try other menu items.

We tried the Elvis Burger, I think the burger patties cooked in the airfryer which made the appearance a weird grey color, it’s not that appetizing as we considering the original burger patties should be a golden brownish color and crispy outside and juicy inside. You have to add your own salt, they don’t even give mayo as a burger place, I understand the retro theme but come on people are paying for that burgers. The only thing good was fries. Don’t let yourself to be fooled by the fancy looking theme of the place, it’s not gonna worth your money.

The place has interesting decor but has seen better days. The food was ok but nothing special.

Went with wife and kids to get some ice cream. Front door is locked so we walk in the side door. Piles of garbage and cardboard we had to walk over.Walk in the door and nothing is clean and the kitchen behind the counter is cluttered and unorganized. The bathrooms reeked and there was poop on the toilet seat and cobwebs everywhere. Looks like it’s being run into the ground. Will never go back.

Place is becoming a little more run down than I remember, a few things need fixin, but I love their milkshakes and food! Couldn’t get enough of their crispy fries! If you’re looking for a 50s diner experience, this is the best one I’ve had in BC so far.

This place is soooo cute! It was like we time traveled to the 50s!! The decor is well thought and their milkshakes were really delicious. The prices were really cheap too. I highly recommend visiting them.

Well it has been awhile since being here and it looks to be new owners but they need to turn the heat on. Be prepared to be cold if eating indoors. The floor wasn't kept clean and sorry but the place is getting run down which is sad.Food ordered was 2 x Elvis cheese burgers w/ fries and a James Dean burger w/ fries. They were nothing to write home about and bland tasting.Will we return no as it isn't the place it used to be.

It's a fun diner atmosphere, a little dated, but I'm sure revenue is marginal during these times. Fun decor, fancy booths, pretty good food, but prices are set for tourists. If I lived near by I would not go there regularly, but it would be a fun rare outing.Parking: The diner has a has about 6 spots right by itself off the main road, but there is plenty of street parking within a block or two.

My family has been coming here for close to 20 years and it’s always amazing. It’s a family run business and has a very homey atmosphere.
