Always love coming here They've got the best ribs in town too!!
Hands down best burgers i have ever had! Smashes burgerfuels and burger wisconsons burgers outta the park! Quite criminal that this restaurant has an average rating of 3.9, should definitely be higher.
Wow! American style food, American sized portions!
Burger and roast meals did not disappoint. Bonus is the outstanding staff who obviously really enjoy their work.
I was in NP for two days and I came here twice for lunch. Had the burger both times but with the salad bowl to replace the burger bun due to my dietary requirement. The portion was excellent and very yummy! The service was friendly and helpful. Love the decoration and everything on the menu went with the theme. Highly recommended.
Went to New Plymouth from Auckland for a couple of days and found this little joint. Ordered the steak burger, fried chicken on waffles and donut milkshake. All 3 did not disappoint. Having tried same dishes from Auckland, these took the cake. Not to mention, great service and the decor makes you really feel like your in the states - even the diner girls were dressed the part. Hard to believe the ratings are not as good as you’d expect.
A really nice place!! Been there plenty of times and would go again! The chips and the shakes are great and really tasty!! I go there once in a while after school with my mom. The staff is really nice too and their uniforms are really cute!
Excellent food and service right from the milkshakes to our little one’s food. You guys should open up in auckland. Now, there’s another reason for me to keep on coming back to taranaki.
Good service,good price and Delish food 😍 very nice diner had a lovely visit will be back to visit again soon 😊 well worth the visit if your in town

This place is really wow. This diner sticks out for its sheer joyful appeance, atmosphere and staff. A lot to take in and enjoy and look at. The diner has a big menu full of interesting dishes like comfort foods and original and authentic dishes out of American cuisine at great prices. We enjoyed a creative Waldorf salad with grilled haloumi while the boys ordered big, authentic American burgers and icy shakes. The shakes are stunning and each one turns out looking unique like a piece of art.
Amazing customer service. We were very happy with our food and dessert, delicious Caesar salad! Love that you can dine cheap or spend up with the variety of items on the menu. Only down side was the wait for the food, we waited an hour which was hard with hungry kids.
Thanks Deluxe Diner 😊
I love a good sandwich.. so I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak Roll. It arrived looking delicious. The combo of sirloin steak, cheese and pickle was well balanced and the relish added a flavorsome tanginess to every bite.. the pickles had a slight spice to them, which I quite liked. Service was great and the atmosphere was comfortable. An overall enjoyable visit. I will definitely be back.
US Loaded Fries is the mega sized dish of surprices! Awakens your taste buds with flavour and a bit of heat. Next time I will easily share it with a friend.
My first food review takes me to Deluxe Diner in New Plymouth. A favourite place for my family for a sneaky weekend shakes and fries treat, this is my first real adventure into the rest of the extensive menu.
I ordered the lunchtime serving of a New York Striploin, with a couple of eggs, chips, salad and onion rings. For an American themed diner, I thought it fit the bill.
It arrived really quickly which suited my stomach well! The presentation and smells were very homely. A steak and chips type meal shouldn’t be played with too much presentation wise and this was nice and simple. Good portion size for lunch and cleanly plated.
The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as I asked and was tender enough to know that it was rested enough that the juices and flavour had dispersed back into the meat. The rest of the meal is what you would expect from a steak meal at a diner, with the fries crispy and salty and eggs well cooked sunny side up. The onion rings were very tasty, however slightly undercooked, but for me - I like that. My only cry would be the gravy and salad dressings, both seemingly bulk buy packet products which taste and texture wise, didn’t quite measure up to the rest of the meal. However, as an American themed diner known for its burgers, shakes and fries styled menu, are they acceptable for the style of place? Probably.
Deluxe Diner is always busy, well presented and the staff are always attentive, and on this occasion it was no different.
Great comfort food in a relaxing environment. Will definitely be back for more.

The milkshake was fantastic, honestly if I had not been so impressed by it, perhaps the rest of the food would have rated higher.
It was good, but not great.
Still well worth a visit, highly recommend the shakes but maybe eat first because nothing will compare after.
Proper American sized burgers, could probably share between two with a large side of chips as the wife had to take half home with her.
The hamburger spring rolls were pretty accurate to description, not quite as good as the ones I've had in Florida but tasty none the less.
The root beer float brought back childhood memories for my wife, A&W is apparently the go to.
Absolutely packed, so service was stretched thin.
I strongly believe if they were less busy it would have been 5/5.
I was lucky enough to enjoy deluxe Diner's intriguingly named and substancial sized Pint of Prawns starter off the dinner menu as a midday meal.
The succulent garlic prawns nestled amongst a crisp and colorful iceberg salad were perfectly complemented by a creamy aoli. It was the cowboy style salsa with special detail of charred corn that really made the dish pop!
The meal was delivered promptly by our affable waitress and manager, Mel. The plastic basket it arrived in was cute and keeping with the American diner theme of the fun family restaurant.
Really cool place. Classic 50's American diner, complete with jukebox and booth seating.
Massive array of milkshakes. Although no 'adult' milkshakes despite being a licensed premises. Would've loved a measure or two of a delicious liquor to complement my malt chocolate shake.
Pretty decent kids menu as well. Lots of options over the standard 4/5 choices that everywhere has. Corn cob for example.
My main of savoury waffle, jerk chicken, bacon and a poached egg with hollandaise was excellent. The other main of a Cubano, was nowhere near as crispy as we would've expected, the fillings were delicious but it was seriously let down by a soggy bit of bread.
Straight fries and curly fries were as expected and well above average.
Would definitely be back to try one of the many burgers on offer.
Amazing American food, classic garage setting.
We were served by Lynlie, who was bubbly and extremely enjoying what she was doing.
Kept us 😃
Absolutely great food.
Big burger patties
Delicious coffees
Friendly staff
Great service

Highly recommended
Will eat there again as soon as we can
Came here for a late breakfast & got the pesto bagel and my partner got the Philly cheesesteak and both of them were absolutely delicious. I’m an American so that says a lot! :)) highly recommend!
Meal with a few of us all ordering a different dish each.
Late lunch quite busy and noisy until others left. Which is my preference.
Enjoyed the delight of seeing an older guy devouring his freaky sundae.
Fabulous Waitress Mel - smiley, knowledgeable, attentive. Checked on our meals (always important) after delivered.
Vege Ranch Style Breakfast without the Egg Omelette for me.
