Get that real American diner feel at The Diner Dalston with its neon lights, classic red sofas and a menu filled with American-style eats. Walk into the unmissable diner with its bright red signage contrasting the black exterior and you’re greeted by the old cinema movie signs dotted around the space, announcing specials along with murals, artwork and colourfully patterned wooden panelled walls.
The Diner Dalston is open every day from 10am and keeps the good vibes going until late. If you’re in the mood for breakfast, don’t worry about rushing in because the restaurant offers all-day breakfasts. Whether you’re feeling for a stack of three pancakes with blueberry compote or banana pancakes with butterscotch sauce, or want to go all in with the jam-packed hungry man breakfast (it also comes with tater tots), the menu has it all.
For drinks, try the house made lemonade or go for a Snickers shake. If you’re looking to add a kick, go for the Creamy Nut hard shake with Baileys, hazelnut and pistachio ice-cream or have a cocktail such as the vodka-laden Raspberry and Hibiscus Hard Tea.
Start your meal with a diner basket to share with the diner barbecue wings and a blue cheese dipping sauce or a US delicacy, the corn dog. The Dalston Diner mains include baby back ribs and buttermilk-fried chicken and waffles. Keep it simple with one of the burgers or dogs, such as the classic hot dog with French’s mustard or the 8oz Diablo burger with bacon, American cheese, pickles and the Diner burger sauce. Round off your meal with dessert including the all-American banana split or create your own at the waffle bar by choosing toppings, sauces and any ice-cream scoop from the ice-cream bar.
The menu at The Diner Dalston caters for vegetarians, vegans and children with their own mini menu. The dedicated vegetarian menu gives the normal menu a good-for-mother-earth spin with all the favourites and features the all-day breakfast options, including vegan pancakes or the vegan benedict with vegan bacon, crispy polenta and topped with cashew sauce on a toasted muffin. There are plenty of burgers, dogs and diner classics to choose from too.
