Had a great cheese burger and a big milk shake. The burger was really good, very juicy. The shake was a bit too sweet for me but still tasty. Loved this place coz it is dog friendly and the staff was really nice.
The bacon double cheeseburger by Nighthawk Diner was an absolute ripper. These cloud like buns did a fantastic job of soaking up the juices of two medium rare beef patties. Bacon was crispy af and pickles added a nice amount of sweetness. Fried chicken sandwich was great too but possibly a touch dry but that’s easy overlooked when the rest of the meal was so great! Highly recommend getting the fries loaded with cheese sauce and jalapeños.
Great food and overall vibes, perfect for catching up with friends or even taking a date!
It’s a nighthawk only by cafe standards, open 11-10 rather than 7-3, but it’s a very attractive space, with windows probably big enough for the painter to see you properly, and worth visiting any time it’s open. Except that it was empty mid Friday afternoon. The menu is largely American and I went straight for tacos. By Australian standards they had a very good rich flavour and big chunks of meat, plus they press their own tortillas (never seen that before in Sydney). Tacos seem expensive at $8 each, as do the beers, but they were good and the rest of the menu seems more reasonable, plus I got a hefty discount for something.
Finally tried this diner on Abercrombie St. Very unique ambience, a fairly open kitchen and a movie projected onto the wall. The burgers were great! Fresh and flavourful. I really liked the fries as well. Would definitely come back to try more!
Caught up with a friend here over dinner! Very cute American diner situated in a little nook on Abercrombie St and service was great. The food was affordable and very wholesome. Would recommend coming here for a late night diner grub, they serve up some cool cocktails, AMAZING shakes and really good sandwiches/burgers! 😉 thanks guys! Will be back soon 🍔

With the easy charm of genuine American diner, Nighthawk Diner, have made their permanent digs in a building that used to house the Sex Workers Outreach Project. Both inhabitants utilising this space, decked out with exposed wooden beams and an adjoining garage, cater to all comers. Where outreach vehicles packed full of condoms once rested, a shiny silver Airstream trailer now sits. Alistair Fogg began his exploration of classic American fare back in 2013 with a series of food trucks, and they continue to roam the streets. The long open kitchen, framed by backlit menu boards and caged ingredients, dissolves the barrier between diner and chef.Floor to ceiling windows let in the red brake light parade of Abercrombie Street at peak hour. Concrete floors and roughly cleaned up bricks help to keep everything gritty and real; with exposed hanging bulbs lighting up the urban ‘backyard’. A row of three comfy barber’s stools face the white-tiled kitchen, staffed by five friendly men. As opposed to a food truck experience, what this space offers is a chance to sink your arse into a padded banquette and throw some light on the subject. Rest your peepers on the golden brown curves of a soft, hoagie roll – an American submarine sandwich – presented as...
Yum!! Cheese fries, Philly Cheesesteak the burger and the coconana frittata splittata we’re all delicious. Couldn’t fault the service and the venue. We will definitely be regular visitors.
Visited the diner yesterday and loved everything I tried! Ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and the Fried Chicken Sandwich, the boozy shakes (the nutella and the Choc Brownie), the nachos with pulled pork and the coconana fritta splitta.
Everything was amazing! Both sandwiches tasted great, the brisket was perfectly cooked. The boozy shakes both tasted the same, only difference was that mine had chocolate brownie pieces in it which were delicious. The dessert was great, I'm obsessed with Peanut Butter and Nutella and the combination of those with the ice cream and the coconut banana fritta was just amazing. The presentation of the nachos were the best I have seen and dont get me started on their house made cheese sauce. OMG I didn't shut up about it. The setup of this diner is great, it has a great vibe to it and the owner was super nice. Definitely a place to check out in Sydney if you havent yet!
Pretty juicy burger! These guys were at a recent festival I was at. I was fortunate enough to beat the lunch rush and was able to quickly put my order down for 1 cheese burger. The wait for my burger wasn't long either approximately 10 minutes. After I got my order, I saw a queue had formed.
I feel like my burger was rushly put together and it was a bit sloppy appearance wish and to eat. But taste wise, I was very please. It did the job! The patty was juicy & moist with freshly cut tomatoes & lettuce that did make the burger super heavy. Reminded me of shake shack & delicious.
I really enjoyed this food. They were catering Spotify's birthday bash in Darlinghurst last night and were swamped with hundreds of orders. Me and a friend ordered cheesy fries and cheeseburgers (we would have got a chicken burger but they were done by the time we rocked up - and incidentally, they looked and smelt great). Because of the crowd we waited about 45 minutes. Despite the wait, which was understandable, the mood was pretty relaxed and we watched this guy with a topknot orchestrate what looked like a completely shambolic ordering system and somehow stay on top of it all. He was like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, seeing equations in everything, remembering faces. An impressive level of calm under duress. Anyway, the burgers were great - tasty, oozing juices, fresh tasty salad, good bun and all of it sizeable and satisfying. The cheesy fries were lush - really overloaded with cheese. Comfort food heaven. Highly recommended.
We have nighthawk diner at our wedding last weekend. We knew from our tasting that the food was excellent but was confirmed the night of our wedding when every single person commented on the taste of the food (shoutout to the cheeseburger). The entire experience with The Nighthawk Diner was amazing from the start Abigail was helpful and answered all the questions we had. I had a chat to Al and he made us feel confident in choosing The Nighthawk Diner for our wedding catering and ensured me I could contact him at any time with any concerns. The menu options were plenty with everything tasting good. The Nighthawk team were also very accommodating with dietary restrictions. I'm. still dreaming about the food and look forward to working with The Nighthawk Diner in the future!
The best cheese gravy fries!!! I absolutely loved this place. Burgers are up there with the best of em around Sydney. Service is good, vibe is perfect. Definitely worth the calories, time and money!
Freaking awesome Tacos!!! The crunchy eggplant Tacos are an absolute must! The Miami Cuban sandwich is a perfect example of how to make a milk bun sandwich (normally not a fan, but it definitely worked here). I'm looking forward to coming back and working my way through the rest of the menu.
Nighthawk diner has amazing food, run by people who are passionate about what they do. The tacos were juicy and flavoursome. I'd definitely recommend the beef brisket but the eggplant one was surprisingly delicious as well, providing a great alternative for vegetarians. The fries were super crunchy and thin, like McDonalds fries but 10x more crispy and fresh.
Overall, great place to hit up with friends for a chill feed.
Nighthawk catered our wedding and they were a dream! Through postponements and ever changing dietaries, they were super helpful and responsive and everyone raved about the food on the day 🙏🏼 I hope I get to enjoy the food again in the future!!
Cocktails were not up to scratch but given that it was at happy hour price I will let it slide. Burgers tasted nice but a little pricey compared to other good burger places around Sydney. Service was good and order didn't take long.
