We had a blast at Corvette Diner! It is such a fun, high-energy spot that’s perfect for a lively meal. Beyond the dining area, the arcade was a huge hit and kept the entertainment going throughout our visit. The staff really makes the experience here—they have a great way of doing things and their energy is infectious. It’s clear they enjoy making sure everyone has a good time. As for the food, the menu has some really creative choices. We tried a variety of dishes and everything was delicious:
The Corvette diner is a high energy, fun, 50s, 60s style restaurant! We came in the afternoon on a Tuesday and parking was free and not difficult to find. We mostly ordered burgers, which were good! The milkshakes were definitely my favorite part of the meal. They were delicious and even had a little refill cup! This place is very upbeat and everyone working there is very excited! Something’s to know: There is a 20% gratuity automatically added to the bill as well as a 5% up charge. Pictures include the Dante’s inferno burger, and the Brenda burger.
Very lively and loud! Good for kids! There was No wait on the Saturday we went around 12:30pm. They give you hats to wear. It’s very decorated inside and everywhere you look there’s something cool to see. Food came out in 20-25 minutes. Had our entrees to go and they packed it to go. We ordered a platter and it could feed 6-8 people so we were full from that. Sodas can be customized. Kid friendly place. They had a live DJ playing music. I believe you can request songs to the DJ. The staff also get up and do a little dance; some of the kids also went up with the staff. Located in liberty public market. Once you enter you need to go around and there’s parking on the sides. Reconvene just finding parking and walking You can also walk the food off at liberty public market after
We had a couple of burger. Both were good. All of the food is diner inspired food with a little extra twist. We weren’t able to get a dessert because we were full but I would go back so maybe next time. We arrived before 5 and it was pretty calm but by 5:30 it was getting busy and loud. Not someplace to have a quiet meal. More of a place to have fun and you definitely don’t have to worry about keeping your kids quiet. The arcade area looked like it should keep everybody occupied while waiting for food. Good place to take a large group as well. I saw some people getting seated with 10 or more.
My husband and I celebrated his birthday by enjoying a late lunch at this fun restaurant! I ordered the chicken parmesan dinner and my husband ordered the meatloaf dinner. The food was very good; the chicken parmesan was delicious, and I had leftovers to take home as well! The restaurant is decorated in a '50s style, complete with a DJ, a dance break performed by the waitresses, and fun decorated rooms, complete with an arcade in the back! Our server, Gloria, was fabulous and she had us cracking up. She brought out a scoop of ice cream with a candle in it and the waiters and waitresses sang a birthday song for my husband which was fun! We thought the prices were normal for the meals we received. If you are in the San Diego area, we highly recommend checking out Corvette diner, If nothing else just for the ambiance!
