Simply the best diner I have ever been to! And that includes over multiple US trips between the early 90s and now. The quality of food can't be beaten. The milkshakes are also the best in the Uk for me. The variety on offer superb. The staff are lovely, and welcoming. You will never be waiting ages for your order. But I must also mention the price, which is the best value for money diner I have ever been to. If you are debating coming here for the first time. Then just stop, and go to the Hot Rod Diner, you can thank me later!

We visited Christmas Eve, amazing atmosphere, food and service Another excellent visit this time for Mother's Day. Food great as always, menu changed but for the better. Yesterday we visited again this time for Father's Day. I booked a couple of weeks before was given only a 1 hour slot due to a special day so will be busy and we were happy with that. Arrived at 12 was seated straight away and menus given. Within 5 minutes waitron came and took our order for both drinks and food. Drinks arrived quickly and then food a little time later. Both hubby and myself tried different styles of burgers, him beef mine chicken which were delicious, daughter had her usual from the kids menu. Waitron came and asked if we wanted anything else but all 3 of us were full and daughter even had to have a take out cup for her milkshake. Service was quick but didn't make us feel rushed. So another great visit

A small place, easy parking, warm welcome and good food both tasty and week presented. Perfect as a meal stop before Ebbsfleet Station.

After visiting as a treat for Father's Day, we enjoyed burgers, fries & milkshakes, all of which were delicious. Food & drink arrived in a timely manner (Not too quick or slow). The staff were welcoming, polite & attentive. The atmosphere was great & everyone seemed happy. Service was good. We booked in advance and arrived a little early. It was very busy with no table for walk-ins but there was space to eat outside (great on a warm day). Would recommend to book a table.

The hot rod has been a fan favourite for my family for years! We celebrate birthdays, special occasions and most recently Father’s Day here! The food is excellent, big American portions, the staff are helpful and always polite. The atmosphere resembles an American diner. Love coming here.
