Not sure how / why this place isn't overflowing with reviews! It's a great option on Bute, & - as an American - pretty true to the Americana diner form! On point with the Elvis memorabilia & classic Cadillac out front.
We had the fried chicken (breast) & waffles, Canadian fried chicken sandwich & Philly cheese steak. The fried chicken - honestly, top notch! Nice seasoning/rub - an homage to the owner who originally hails from the southern part of the USA. The philly cheese steak, while not 100% like the ones you'd get on South Street in Philly, still tasted delicious & in our top 2 cheese steaks we've had in the UK.

All in all it was pretty much a disaster.
We got a sorry about that but you still have to pay the full price. As we were leaving we received a very condescending good bye from the...
Read moreEnjoyed a lovely evening here while on holiday in Bute - we had been hoping to eat at the diner and were happy to get booked in. Food was absolutely delicious - my partner had the spicy burger and was not disappointed ! We shared wings Mac and cheese and onion rinds and all were super tasty and freshly made. After dinner we were able to sit through in the bar with another couple on their honeymoon where a lovely member of staff, and later the friendly owner, served us. Had a great laugh with everyone. Such a cool place and lots of fun with great staff, chat and recommendations for things to do...
