Review The Retro Diner - Ipswich

Meal took a bot of time but came out hot, fresh and tasty. Great coffee too- didn't need to add sugar. I will return with the family as prices are extremely reasonable!

Our first time visiting The Retro Diner. Great retro atmosphere to walk into, what a vibe! Outdoor and indoor seating available. Friendly, polite and cheerful customer service. Milkshakes and breakfast served in a timely manner. Our breakfasts were delicious, big in size we couldn't eat it all! The milkshakes were perfectly flavoured. Fantastic range of homemade cakes and treats on display. Extensive breakfast menu, all day lunch menu and dinner on offer, the meal options are endless. Also a fantastic drinks and cocktail menu, they're licenced. I loved the funky earrings that the staff were wearing, very retro. Definitely worth a visit.

The rockabilly theme is delivered with real delight. There's a wide range of menu options that you'd expect in a diner. Tasty and filling. The only drawback was the noise level in a small space. It's hard to say no to a well made thick shake, but I could definitely do without the blender motor whine.

Incredibly impressed with the service provided by The Retro Diner. I didn't have much of a window to work with, delivering a large lunch hamper to a friend - and they took care of everything really quickly - had everything I wanted delivered very quickly, and the quality was great.

Complete and utterly disappointing. I will never go back to this place as it's run by amateurs who do not know how to provide any proper service or a meal without anything wrong. The waitress and the cooks around the back do not even know how to read their writing as meals and drinks were wrong and forgotten. I was most disappointed about how the waitress could not even provide an apology for her errors and by staff. This person clearly shows that she does not want to work there as she had a disgusting attitude towards us and the customers.

Super friendly staff, amazing food and a quirky Cafe to look around while you wait for food. Super yummy cupcakes and fun shoe shaped chocolate too. Highly recommended.

We had probably the worst burgers we have ever eaten from here tonight. It was just greasy mush that tasted weirdly strong of a spice we couldn’t identify. It’s been over an hour and I still can’t get the taste out of my mouth. Nearly 70 bucks worth went in the bin.

Fed- 1 Adult & 2 U5. Order was: - The California w Bbq sauce add size Onion rings - Scrambled Egg, Tomato, & Bacon Roll w Hash brown (note- bacon was minused, add chicken) - 2x Hot dog meal deals(note- bacon was minused, add chicken) w 2x sm shakes This fed the kids easy, they had half and saved half for later - Hawaiian Ham wrap and Onion rings(note- ham was minused and add chicken). Absolutely by far, one of the best businesses I have experienced. Food was great, hot, fresh, decent sized. Hppy tummies all round. Great portion sizes. Tasty. Chips were best of both worlds, crunchy, and soft. I ordered with Uber, and was missing one of my items, so I contacted "The Retro Diner", they are so lovely to speak to, and without hesitation, they made my missing order and the boss drove out and delivered it to us, now that's, customer service and 100% satisfaction! The picture attached is 1(of 2) Hotdog meal deals(minus bacon add chicken) with milkshake. The chicken, was moist, succulent and not dried, two little tummies happy and full :-) The sauce was not like store bought, was more like home made, so tasty and full of flavour. We will definitely continue going here and/or ordering here. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Star

The atmosphere, music, décor, staff and food were all excellent. I highly recommend dining here, this is the first decent place I have found since moving here.

Awesome themed diner, music to suite, good service friendly staff. Very kid friendly, and pets look welcome outside. Food serving size was good bacon just needs to be cooked longer on a lower temperature to cook properly. Poached eggs were slightly under done but I like em runny. Will be back for a lunch burger someday.

Had the American style pancakes and an amazing hot chocolate amazing value for the price great atmosphere and service was tops 5*

Amaze service, friendly staff and great atmosphere.. �

Lovely breakfast in a fantastic atmosphere!

The American style pancakes �� Delicious! We'll be back again soon �

The food was ok, not great....a bit overpriced for what you get and the fries are not included in the price. There are a lot nicer places to eat in the CBD. Staff are not overly attentive either.

I don’t like leaving bad reviews. But on Saturday night, I was sooo disappointed..... curly chips were awful, none of us could eat them. Onions rings were nearly as bad. Smoothies weren’t great. Power went out 3 times and nobody bothered to turn the power back on to the fridges, so drinks were going warm. Orders were stuffed up. Burgers weren’t bad We paid $70, and couldn’t leave quick enough. The entire experience was awful � Sorry guys. I hope you take from this, and improve where needs improving.
