The Sixties Diner — Restaurant in Berlin

we went into the diner and the waiter didnt even come up to us she just gestured that we could sit anywhere from across the room. the first two seats we sat in were dented and you almost fell of the couch. once seated in a normal seat we were helped at a okay speed but a little while later the milkshakes were apparently out and then a few minutes after the pancakes were also out. crazy. it took really long for the drinks to come. then the food arrived and she would bring bread and sauce too but forgot almost immediately. the blt sandwich was something i could easily make at home. cheap bread. the fries were really good tho. the city breakfast was pathetic and the egg was way too greasy. seats had tears in them and service was nothing to write home about. hii so i had the city breakfast, i wanted the pancakes but they didnt have them but they told me after i ordered it while waiting for fifteen minutes, and that can happen but when i also asked for bacon and eggs by my pancakes she found it weird haha, instead i took the city breakfast and it was bad sorry, its 8,50 for plastic fake cheese with a weird spicy taste and just some pieces with ham, a cooked egg that was really cold with jam and four pieces of just cheap supermarket bread and a couple of pieces of melon and pineapple . only the jam was good, and the fruit was okay but overall it was just bad and I couldn’t even finish it, sorry i can make the same breakfast at home cheaper and ten times better, around the corner is a place yuna we went to after this and its already a thousend times better so go there instead xox we didnt even have anythhing yet. i had farmers breakfast but before we got that i wanted a coffee and a milkshake for the true diner experience. but there was no milkshake.. so i just orderd a cappuchino wich took sooo long to arrive it was also not hot anymore when i got it. maibe i read wrong what the farmer breakfast was but i thought it would not be an omelette with everything in it the cheese was not good and there was defenitly to much of it. the salad was good i enjoyed that so maybe just order a salad.. truly we had high hopes cause it looked cute but its just as badly runned as america if it was runned by donald trump dont reccomand. we also never leave bad revieuws and restaurants have bad days but this is just bad and expensive sorry xox...

During this late summer Sunday, filled with important errands and good friends, I came to this diner looking for a succulent meal and a cure to my friend's yearning for his home country.

Entering The Sixties Diner you are greeted with a vibrant 50s, not 60s, aesthetic, and a fine selection of music. These first fleeting moments of excitement are however your last blissful ones in this establishment.

We started off by sharing a plate of nachos. These were flavourless, coated with a strange paprika powder, and served with a salsa that unfortunately wasn't salsa, but ketchup. The salsa was bad, but edible, the guacamole was rancid. Thirsty, as we expected to become when eating nachos, we asked for tap water with our food, but were informed that the restaurant "doesn't have" tap water. Unfortunate, but still impressive to run a restaurant without access to water.

We explained that we were all going to order Milkshakes with our main course, and simple wished to hydrate before doing so. Oh, no, we don't have milkshakes today, we were informed. This proved to be a recurring experience for us, as we desperately fought our way through the menu, looking for items that were possible to order.

Our main courses looked better than the nachos, but tasted worse. Soggy, tasteless burgers and sandwiches, dripping with fat, accompanied by sweet, mushy and strangely greasy fries. Sauce for the fries had to be ordered, at extra cost.

The service was strange, deeply unenthusiastic and seemingly built on the strategy of blaming managers and cooks instead of taking responsibility for what went on in the restaurant.

To top up our experience, they charged us €7 for the 0.7 liter bottle of water that we, a defeated group, shared alongside our food. On the ride home from the restaurant, collectively having cancelled our afternoon plans together after the experience we endured, the food in my stomach quickly turned into what I suspect is a burning...

I was far more excited to go here than I should have been. I can’t even explain why I was. I guess I wanted to try some American food in another country. Anyway, for starters, this was probably the most disgusting bathroom I have been in while in Europe. The toilettes are downstairs and before I could fully descend the stairs, the stench of urine smacked me in the face.

The service was disappointing. Our waiter seemed a bit lost during our interactions and kept wandering off with seemingly no real purpose. It took about 10 minutes to get menus and then another 10-15 before he came to take our orders.

Once we waited for a while, the server came to our table and began apologizing. Apparently our food had been served to someone else. He asked for our order again in order to have the kitchen make it. Sure, no problem. I can appreciate a mistake and an apology goes a long way with me. However, he had never even brought our beverages.

So, we provide our order again. And then the wait ensues. We waited for a very very long time. I had to ask the server what the hold up was. People that came in after us were getting their meals. The excuse was a busy kitchen. This didn’t make sense to me because our order should had been bumped to the front after the mix up.

I will say that the actual food we got was good. I ordered a simple nacho plate. My wife ordered some kind of chicken fajita. The food is how they ended up with the second star.

Most likely, this isn’t a normal experience. I do, however, hold service high up on my list of relevance so it drove my review down. Hopefully your...
