An American Diner in Burgess Hill! This is actually much better than most American diners too. This place is worth visiting just to look at the decor. Some instagrammable items to pose in front of, and they change quite often, though Marilyn has been here forever. I sometimes wonder how cool it would be to visit in the evening before visiting The Orion, but alas they close at 3 pm

Absolutely incredible service and great value for money. Clean restaurant with lots of choices too. The owner gave my son a generous portion of complementary waffles as he wished he had ordered some and it made his day! Such a kind and appreciated gesture. Highly recommend.

The staff were great! Super friendly. Great selection of dishes and American drinks/milkshakes and smoothies. Menu is a bit hard to read but not a big issue. Burgers are always super greasy which takes away from it having any flavour and just turns the buns into mush but there are loads of alternatives.

Came back with my daughter for some lunch as I was so impressed on my last visit. This time I spent some time looking at the goodies at the back of the shop, the stuff for sale is amazing and I’ve never really seen anything like it, lots of really cool things to purchase for the home. If you have a taste for something different you must come take a look.

Visited this cafe/diner today with my children. What a fantastic experience from start to finish. The decor is USA themed and brilliantly designed as an nod to the All American Diner style we see in the movies. Im sure alot of effort has gone into the fit out. The food didn't disappoint, it was extremely tasty, (menu for the burgers pays tribute to American cars), we had a Lexus and a Chrysler burger. The oreo milkshake was beautiful presented and very delicious. Onion rings were exactly how they should be! Burgers cooked perfectly, chips crunchy on the outside soft in the middle, could not fault anything. Service was prompt and friendly. Very lucky to have this place in our town, I would highly recommend
