About

Karen's Diner is an interactive diner experience where guests are encouraged to unleash their inner Karen - that is, to complain at length about everything and anything they can possibly think of. At Karen's you'll be greeted and waited upon by rude waiters, who will goad you into giving them an earful and perhaps even demanding to see a manager. To quote the website, this is 'a place where you can complain until the cows come home, because we literally don't care.'

The result is ludicrous fun if you're ready to get into the spirit of things. The staff may be bad mannered and unruly, but Karen's Diner promises genuinely good diner fare from burgers and wings to sweet treats. Beef burgers all come with Wagyu beef patties as standard - there's a cheese burger, a bacon and cheese burger and a spicy number, then you get into chicken burger territory. Karen's offers a hefty helping of 'bolt ons' too, which include extra patties, cheese, bacon, onion rings and hash browns, as well as a quite incredibly array of sauces. 

If you're not feeling a burger, you can dive into wings, loaded fries or head straight for the considerable dessert menu, which includes Karen's seasonal waffle bowl, Karen's marvellous churro surprise and trademark 'thickshakes' with flavours like Oreo, strawberry and salted caramel. 

On the drinks front, Karen's Diner again manages to provide something for everyone from cocktails and shooters to beers on tap, floats, soft drinks and wines. Oh, and if your name is actually Karen and you can prove it with ID, your unfriendly Karen's Diner server will grudgingly give you a free drink. If they don't, feel free to complain.

Great Night, unique experience!

This was the best night!  The poor service and insults started before we had stepped over the threshold!  We will remember them for a long time.  And the food was also not an after thought, the burgers and chicken burgers were delicious and the fries great.  The team were really quick witted and very natural at insulting everyone and great at including all customers.

Ok for 30 somethings

I'm a grandad and took my wife daughter and her teenage children. Not really my thing to loud and lots of shouting, wife not keen daughter thought it was alright, teenagers loved it. Food was at best ordinary and very spicy.  But my main complaint would be it's ridiculously expensive for what you get.

Food was amazing, chefs were hilarious as were the waitresses, service was actually very good/quick and meals reasonably priced. Milkshakes looked fantastic too. The lad with the microphone needs to learn that just swearing and screaming abuse at people isn't funny, and take some tips from his co-workers on what rude adult comedy actually looks like. 5 stars for food and colleagues, half a star to him and a scholarship to clown school.

Absolutely amazing terrible staff, should learn some manners!!! The food was awful. Was full after a burger and couldn't finish the fries was so nice I will never like anymore burgers. Worst part of this was the cocktails fnl I could drink them all night and they said they wouldn't help me home!! Over all would never ever come here again, just every other Thursday!
