"The Red Car American 50" diner is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of dining there for two consecutive days, and both experiences were nothing short of delightful. On my first visit, I started with the chicken tenders, which were perfectly crispy and flavorful, setting the tone for the meal. The bacon & cheese burger with BBQ sauce was a heavenly combination, and the fries were crispy and seasoned to perfection. The chocolate Oreo smoothie I had for dessert was a burst of flavors and a perfect sweet ending to my meal. On my second visit, I couldn't resist trying more of their offerings. The cheese rolls paired with chicken tenders made for a delicious and indulgent appetizer. The BBQ ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the fries remained consistently excellent. The addition of coleslaw as a side complemented the meal perfectly. And of course, I couldn't resist ordering the chocolate Oreo smoothie again, because it was just that good! Apart from the exceptional food, the ambiance of the restaurant transported me back to the 1950s in the United States. The decor, featuring game memorabilia, a Spiderman hanging from the roof, license plates as decorations, and even a half Indian motorcycle on the wall, created an authentic and nostalgic atmosphere. The attention to detail was impressive, down to the oil barrel with a petrol pistol serving as a vanity sink. Overall, "The Red Car American 50" diner offers not only outstanding food but also an immersive dining experience that is a feast for the senses. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of delicious American cuisine in a unique and captivating setting. A definite must-visit for food enthusiasts and those seeking a trip down memory lane! Special mention, the staff is the friendliest you can get!

Great little hamburger place, American style only 15 minutes from central Funchal on Madeira island. We had a standard hamburger and a chicken burger. Both were delicious! They go to great lengths to create an American fifties atmosphere: rock ‘n roll music playing in the background, memorabilia on the walls and the employees wearing fifties costumes. But the best was the service. We were greeted by two young servers with big smiles and Virgilio even came to our table to chat after our meal. Thank you for a great experience!

The food was great overall, the chips were crispy and the burger was fresh and tasty. We chose to add a milkshake for a drink which was a reasonable price and worth it as they were lovely. The highlight being the brownie for me, with a generous ice cream scoop on top really sealed the deal. The theme of American diner was executed brilliantly and everything down to even the way the bill was presented was on theme. I would definitely visit again, I left feeling very full.

Great burger! Came here as recommended by our friends and it was great! Makes you feel like you're in a 50's dinner. We ordered the the cheeseburger and double cheeseburger... I would not recommend the double unless you are starving or usually eat a lot. We also ordered extra bacon and caramelized onions and both were great. The bacon was thick and smoky while the onions were caramelized to perfection! Highly recommended!! Will return for sure.

You can see the restaurant's menu on portals like ubereats, glovo or brinkeat I personally ordered during my visit to this restaurant: Barbecue Burger (Brioche bun, 140gr of house meat, bbq ribs, tomato, potato chips, bacon, cheddar cheese & barbecue sauce) with French Fries and Drink. Drinks include your choice of Pepsi or beer. The restaurant is not popular but it is very good, very nicely decorated inside and the service is very friendly :)
