Corvette Diner Bar & Grill

¢-$, American, Hillcrest

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

The absolute San Diego County favorite for children's parties and other family occasions, Corvette Diner showcases a real Corvette (changed yearly) in a kitschy, 1950s-style dining room dominated by vintage movie posters and singing servers. The menu has what you'd expect -- macaroni and cheddar, plump burgers, piled-high deli sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, greasy chili-cheese fries, and thick milk shakes. The daily "Blue Plate Specials" are well-priced classics like grilled pork chops and "picnic basket" fried chicken.

Far Out! Fun! Fantastic!!

Posted by Er7Ve from San Diego, California on 10/16/07

This is the place to go for families looking for a great eating establishment that everyone can enjoy. The food is purely Americana...burgers, shakes, fried chicken, meatloaf...But, that's what it's supposed to be. The entire diner is themed with a 50's flair and the waitstaff is the most entertaining you're going to find at ANY restaurant. Where else can you get a guarantee on a hamburger made with Peanut Butter...(if you don't like it, it's free!) If you're a food snob, sure you might want to think twice...but, if you're in the mood to have a great night out with friends and family, listening to some great golden oldies...THIS is the place to be!!
