Hs Diner — Restaurant in Eastbourne

Myself & my wife went there, to try their burgers out. I'm a burger fanatic and have tried many a burger joint here in the UK, the US, and mostly everywhere I have been. I have tried some in Eastbourne, but it was my 1st time to this American themed diner. As it was a Friday evening during the height of summer, it went without saying it had good occupancy but was not full, as it was still early evening. Unfortunately for our lovely waitress who was run of her feet, due to the fact she was short staffed, and had a smile on her face and pleasant attitude, checking if we were alright and happy. In my search for the ultimate burger, I tried the Hulk burger, which was huge and definitely too big to finish. My wife had the Black n blue burger, and both came with fries. The burger was decent, compared to the many I have tried, maybe a little dry to be the ultimate burger, I crave, but we did enjoy it. Along with a tasty banana milkshake, I had with a splash of Mount gay golden rum to top it all off. It all made for a fantastic Friday night out, celebrating my wife's birthday weekend. To our surprise and extreme guilt, we found out that service charge was not included in the bill and what was worse was that I did not have any cash, which really upset me, as we had enjoyed the food and service of a young lady that totally deserved it and when I mentioned it to her she did not get upset and with a smile said "when you come next time". We went back the same evening after getting money from the ATM, as we believe this young lady deserved it even more for not even making a fuss. (definitely un-American of her😀) We will definitely be...

I recently visited Harleywood American Diner in Eastbourne as an American tourist, and it was quite an interesting experience. The atmosphere was certainly vibrant and unique, with movie posters, trinkets, toys, and even a full-size Sully from the hit movie Monsters, Inc. The décor and ambiance really captured that classic American diner vibe.

The tables were authentic and added to the overall theme, and the music playing in the background matched perfectly. I went for lunch on a weekday, and while it wasn't quite full, I could understand that it might be the offseason for tourists in Eastbourne.

When it came to the American offerings, they had a decent selection, but I decided to go for a classic burger. It was labeled as "prime beef," but I quickly realized that British beef tastes significantly different from American beef, especially when it comes to hamburgers. It didn't quite live up to my expectations.

The menu did have other American delights like ribs, which I would probably try next time I visit. It seems like they have more to offer than just burgers, and I'm hoping those options might be closer to what I'm used to back home.

Overall, I got the sense that Harleywood American Diner is more for tourists, likely British or European, trying to experience some American flair, rather than for American tourists looking for an authentic taste of home. It's like they're trying to bring America to Eastbourne, but as for the food, well, I guess I'll have to stick to the real thing...

So the basics first if you want a quick burger and chips this isn’t the place for you. The food is freshly prepared and no rush is placed on you so you will be there for an hour at least. We were served by Honor today and she was lovely efficient and friendly.

The menu is extensive and the food was flavoursome. The venue is great for kids as it has some boots with TV screens on and there is lots to look at around the restaurant.

On arrival today who was immediately asked to complete a track and trace form which was good. whilst we were waiting for our food I could see a colleague of Honor’s wiping down menus with antiseptic spray which demonstrates they take the coded 19 situation very very seriously.

They are also taking part in the government initiative some money till Wednesday or food and soft drinks are reduced.

We had to soft drinks to mains and a side dish or £13 which is absolutely fantastic.

The portions are massive so you will not leave hungry but you do need to be patient as The orders are cooked in order being taken.

They also do gluten-free burger bands on request.

Even without the government initiative the food represents great value for money and it’s definitely worth a visit when you go to Eastbourne. It’s currently situated behind some building scaffolding but there are lots of restaurants and terminal road so have a good look and you...
