Reviews of Karen's Diner Manchester
V. S.Laughing from entering to leaving!
I had such a fun time & it was nice to sit back, not care & just have a genuine laugh among like minded people.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had, there should be more places like this.
I’d like to say the staff were lovely but obviously that wouldn’t be accurate, as they aren’t meant to be haha! But they were fab and do such a great job and serving and entertaining everyone at the same time. The food is reasonably priced and very tasty!
Would definitely return again.
R. H.Not for the faint hearted, loved it great atmosphere very funny and ruffless thanks for the Karen exsperience would definitely recommend a visit.
h. K.What a great place to be insulted. We weren’t disappointed. The staff were totally rude, threw our food on another table, made us clean our own table, threw us out because we were early and then shouted at us saying we were late it was the best. I would highly recommend it.
K. C.We went last night, not sure what to expect. The place was buzzing and the Karen’s were incredible. It was a show whilst eating gorgeous food, I can recommend the fiery Karen Burger. Even my 74 year old dad was in hysterics. Well done Karen’s Diner, beautiful restaurant, really fun night, the most I have laughed in a long time
A. T.Very interesting place, it was fun to experience but not sure I would go again.
Food was good and staff were NOT friendly, lol ( just how its suppose to be).
Thanks for an entertaining lunch.
k. s.Brilliant nite, all the staff had great time for my kids, interacted with them in every way they cud..... food was as a diner shud b, the burgers were lovely! We all laughed from start to finish. Delighted we went.. 😊
R. C.Amazing night. I'm surprise the staff didn't knock one of my group out but they got through it. Was a brilliant night though. Erin and Amber where brilliant. Thanks guys.
K. P.Absolutely hilarious experience. Will definitely be going again. Food great, spotless, good music but the staff definitely make it.
A. S.Well I’ve not gone yet but I’m taking my grandma there for my birthday on the 22nd march GET READY KARENS IM READY!!😂
A. 0.The waitresses and waiters were amazing especially singing happy birthday. They made everyone included and is definitely an experience. Thank you for the amazing night xx
K. H.I have to say I was very nervous to go here ,it was my son that booked it there was 4 of us all together and I'm glad to say I sank in the corner with my daughter in law while my husband and son took the blunt end of what this very unique diner has to offer we all ended up having a very weird experience 🤦🏼♀️🤭the food was gorgeous I have 2 Karen complaints 😁the time you have is very short if you want to have starter ,meal and dessert and the parking was difficult not many spaces but all in all great experience,must pay a visit and remember to wear your thick skin 😉😂
L. C.Absolutely amazing time, from the moment we walked in the door we were laughing our socks off, it's the most fun i have had in a restaurant by far, the staff were really attentive and engaging and really sold the whole karen vibe, the host was so fantastic and really worked the room and had everyone in hysterics, they had us all embarrassing ourselves with the wheel of misfortune and had me marching round the restaurant impersonating Chewbacca, and dancing like a fool to win myself a free shot, big shout out also to Erin/Earon "forgive my spelling", for being really wonderful and engaging with our table, really looked after us she did, so thank you, and a big thank you to the whole team for making this a truely unforgettable evening, oh and the food was great lol :D
C. P.Had an amazing experience didn’t stop laughing from start to finish and the food was delicious our waiter Holly was hilarious and kept us well entertained would highly recommend for people with good banter 😂😂😂😂
A. J.What an awesome place for a different experience. It's meant to be fun, so don't come in with a bad attitude about the theme. Really unique concept.
L. G.I can't think of a better place to send my worst enemies to eat, some of the worst service I have ever received... The waitresses were rude, I was often ignored the volume of the restaraunt was unbearable with arguments with the kitchen, staff and patrons.
On a serious note..... I had a terrible time and loved it what a performance and experience definitely worth a visit if only to ask the waitresses to smile
J. L.It was ok...but our waitress actually got our order wrong twice. Was not impressed with food...knickerbocker Glory in a basket on greaseproof paper!Understand the concept but think food and everything else should be good.
S. M.Very rude staff and very bad service 😀food was ok. The staff had us in stitches and some of the games were fun. I actually was scared as they walked by in case I was picked on.
J. J.Unfortunately the food is absolutely terrible, cold undercooked burger, fries dripping in oil and flat coke. However the experience is fantastic, the staff play their roles brilliantly, the service couldn’t have been any worse 👏🏼
P. K.Omg. We had the best time here tonight. The main Karen compare was hilarious and all the server Karen’s keep up the atmosphere. It’s so funny. Go.
I. M.It is an expirence. Food is rather good and the staff is friendly in their akward way. If only there was a way to "modulate" the amount of "rudness" then I would be inclined to come back eat and watch other people's reactions. It's well worth a shot
M. C.Amazing experience and so funny … not for the faint hearted … need a good belly laugh and nice food … Karen’s is a must … thank you for entertaining/insulting us … we all had a good giggle … keep up the rudeness!!! Oh and booked again !!
T. L.It's great for the experience. Had great fun. But the food choice was poor and the food its self was a real let down. Such a shame
M. B.Great food and dining experience. Food served with attitude and don't expect a great service or a straight answer. Go with the flow and give it back, but remember it's all part of the dinning with attitude experience, don't take it personally and enjoy the banter.
A. H.Went with my daughter for her 18th.
If easily offended don't go, but if not its a good laugh, & you do get some stick.
J. _.Great experience to be honest the vibes is good and it is funny but the food is really bad i recommend just going for drinks it taste like the food just got put in the oven and brought from tesco own brand but the vibe is worth it.
S. B.Enjoyably awful service. Never laughed so much in a restaurant. Really tasty burgers. Highly recommended. Not for the feint hearted or easily offended.
j. D.Great aul crack! Big shout out the our waitresses Eirn
b. m.Amazing one of the kind restaurant American style versus trash talk in the best possible way
If you want to be assaultedHaze Karen's is the place to go
And you got personal hat made
Here's my personal hat
And the prices are reasonable
S. G.Service is 'great' food was really nice very quick! It's an experience if your offended easily don't go!
H. T.Would of been nice if they left you alone to enjoy or even finish eating before they have a go at you & ask you to stand up to do something
A. E.Didn't stop laughing the whole time we were there 🤣
Went with a friend to celebrate birthday 🎉 and was serenaded by the "lovely" staff 🤣
C. T.Very funny.
Enjoyed the "experience" and ironically I thought the food was good and the service excellent! (Sorry Karen!)
M. M.Entertainment is good funny watching everyone enjoy the bad service. The food let’s it down tho £40 for two burgers and chips glass of Coke, we didn’t finish the food it wasn’t nice.
N. E.Absolutely, hilariously, fabulously shocking service! I don't think I've laughed that hard during a meal out ever. How the staff keep it together is beyond!
The food was fantastic as well. Unbelievably juicy burgers, everything seasoned beautifully. Waffles for dessert were delicious. 10/10 would recommend!
D. J.Great experience but you must go in open minded and be prepared to take some stick
d. f.Had a great time burgers we had was raw in middle ask them to cook it though only fault of the night
N. W.Excellent experience, Staff were really good at being really bad! Food was great so at least that made up for the terrible service!
S. B.Brilliant experience. Great food also. Definitely need to go at least once
L. M.Absolute brilliant night from start to finish. The food was lovely the karens ard brilliant we had kelly she was fab. Will definitely go again

G.Absolutely hilarious!!! Even funnier than the TikToks online. Highly recommend this place! Brilliant laugh and something different.
S. W.Hilarious dining experience. Not for the faint-hearted. Burgers are really tasty.
K. D.It was an awesome funny time and grt food ...but if your easily offended dont go as the antics of the waiters and language is a little bit raw to say the least ...brilliant time had
B. F.Absolutely mental. Being told to f off when asking for something is a crazy experience but it was hilarious.
Lots of fun and games and a really good burger.
T. R.Make sure you understand the place before you go. Or take someone who does not know and it can be more fun. Service was as sort of expected... fun... we were all were singled out at one point and it added to the fun. Service was also quick and attentive. The food is typical diner food but it was of a good quality and the seasoned fries were really good. Had a really good experience here. Not for the easily offended. Manager was very good with everyone. Well worth the visit.
J. R.Amazing experience...staff where great..food served really quickly and was yum as well....
M. R.An ok experience, seems the louder you are the more attention they give you. My experience wasnt much different from other restaurants, to be honest have had worse service elsewhere!
A. G.Absolutely hilarious night! Food was epic, dont know how the waiting staff keep in character all night... maybe coz they're really that rude!? Who knows who cares, me and my girlfriend had such a laugh, can't recommend enough.
N. S.Be prepared to be humiliated this diner is amazing from start to finish highly recommend..great for stag and hen do
C. H.My mum had a great time which is what matters but unfortunately the food wasn’t great at all and we stood up waiting for 15 minutes because they didn’t want to give us a table that wasn’t next to the toilets.
Besides that had a good time.
B. H.I love it I called them and it said tell me the duck song before and then it says what do you want ugh!
R. R.Absolutely brilliant. The host Amber is hilarious. Definitely recommend
R. Y.Misha, Kelly and Maddison were quality all night. If you want to go for some decent food and have a great laugh, this is the place to go!
M. B.Absolutely loved the experience, not for the faint hearted
D. S.As expected..great crack and food was delicious..as burgers and chips go it was top stuff..enjoyed our time and would defo return
a. s.Such a funny night out! Didn't expect it to be so interactive but there was so many games and challenges which tried to get everyone included as much as possible. The staff are amazing at the job, I don't know how they can keep a straight face. The food and drinks are also amazing and really good portions at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend!
B. G.Fantastic experience today at karens diner had so much fun food was brilliant staff work hard
C. v. a. g.A very good place to visit I would recommend
A. L.The bad reviews on here are ridiculous. The whole point of this place is they are rude to you. Don't go if you are a sensitive little girl
S. M.None stop laughing from walking in the door food was decent enough. Service was shocking. Good night definitely recommended it
S. H.Had a fantastic day, loved every minute of our "experience". The staff certainly live up to their reputation
D. E.Thanks I hated it.
...are they gone?
Right,
Great atmosphere and great food, except for the toilet shot which was rank 🤣.
Great fun from start to finish.
S. W.Went for my friends birthday, brilliant experience, better than I imagined it would be. Well done girls very funny 😁
D. H.Excellent meal and a good banter can’t wait till we get ours in Liverpool Karens diner Ozzy diner bar restaurant awesome place for a meal love to get a job in here when it comes to Liverpool
E. L.Kelly was absolutely amazing me and my mates had the funniest time so worth it!!!
C. W.Went last night place was packed think a little over run as the staff were all over the show
Was a bit confused as the menu sent on the booking reference had chicken burgers on but when we arrived we found none in the menu at all but disappointed as my daughter wanted to choose from them MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN EXPLAIN THIS FROM KARENS ?????
All I’m all good was nice not amazing get same anywhere really but overpriced for me for what you get
Funny night in there with entertainment and stuff from staff but waitress messed my order up upgraded to sweet potato fries and recieved normal fries burger came with sauce on after I asked clearly no sauce just bacon and cheese
Then ordered a pudding of churros with Nutella ice cream and whipped cream
What came out was churros with no cream ice cream Nutella at all !!!!! Was filled with bits horrible sweet sauce and tiny marshmallows was not nice at all I left half of it
We paid over £100 and got ok service but trying to rush us out at the end after what we paid not good either
Only thing I can say it was opening night but they need to get their acts together with the service and maybe lower prices!
C. M.Food was ok but you're paying for the experience more than anything. Not the place to go if you're easily offended. Be prepared to have to stand up in front of everyone and be embarrassed! Not for the faint of heart!
A.It was a really funny experience and definitely worth a try, but the food/price point was rubbish and didn't make it worth it.
A. H.Rude as hell, insulted me and my whole family multiple times. Definitely will be going back soon, loved it
D. E.Very good entertaining night good food, deserts were a let down overall enjoyable experience

B. “. D.This place is positively mad!!! Good burgers, but be prepared when you walk in lol 😆
W. P.Absolutely amazing food with the rudest staff ever ( absolutely fantastic) so much fun definitely be back
C. W.What an experience this was... I have never laughed so much in my life. I couldn't ask the waitress for what I wanted at one stage because I couldn't breath with laughing. This was a spur of the moment booking before we were headed back home to London and it was by far the best decision I made. Seriously the staff are amazingly rude and how they keep a straight face I do not know they really are so good. Burger was lovely and the rest of the food . Keep doing what what use are doing girls. Very very impressed.
L. C.Laughed from beginning to end, unfortunately the laughs were on me, it's like a show with a burger thrown in , Brilliant.

C. S.Brilliant. Such a laugh and great food
K. G.Great experience! I would 100% recommended going here for a good laugh and some interactive dining. The food was actually very good and had good veggie/vegan options. Despite being Karen’s, the staff were probably more attentive than most normal restaurants, which was interesting!
M. H.Service about the same as KFC.
Definitely worth a visit.

A.Took my daughter after seeing social media videos. Very impressed with the experience. Its definitely not for the easily offended. Staff do exactly the opposite to a regular restaurant experience but the way they do it is hilarious. The food is pretty good but not amazing. You are paying for the experience than 5 star food. Would definitely visit again

A. L.Absolutely hilarious, the staff are amazingly funny and brutal. All kept lighthearted and fun. Some reviews said the food isn’t great but couldn’t agree less it’s amazing the fry seasoning is amazing.
They did mess up our order a little bit, nothing major but they managed to firstly sort it out with absolutely no bother and secondly keep character while not crossing the line.
Hilarious must do, would avoid if easily offended.

J. V. R.(Translated) Nice experience. The food was good, but not spectacular. The service and ambiance was as it should be. My 13 year old son really wanted to go to Karen's Diner, had seen a lot on TikTok. He had a great time.
(Original)
Leuke beleving. Het eten was goed, maar niet spectaculair. De bediening en de ambiance was zoals het zou moeten zijn. Mijn zoon van 13 wilde erg graag naar Karen’s Diner, had veel op TikTok gezien. Hij heeft zich kostelijk vermaakt.
m. A. s.(Translated) The weather is nice, but the food is normal
(Original)
الجو حلو بس الاكل عادي
C. M.
S.Absolutely brilliant night. Such a fun experience and all of the team are great. How they keep it up all night is amazing. Highlight of it all though was Erin, she was mega! So funny, so in control of the whole place and just simply brilliant (in the worst possible way, if you get what I mean)
s. r.
T. L.Is a super fun and unique awkward experience.
*** if you embrace it****
All the Karen reviews here complaining about service obviously did not understand the concept. It's defo not for everyone - but great banter and personally thought they could actually take it a little further - maybe adult only nights and make it savage!
Food was good quality for an American Style Diner with generous portions and Cocktails/shots was well made too. (You have to ask for cutlery!! So many sat eating with fingers!)
It's just a laugh - if easily offended then miss it. Not for young kids but you judge your own child if they would be ok with swearing.
Only 2 of us went but will be returning with friends as would be even funnier as a group. It did actually get a few tables talking as uncertainty / scared of being singled out which was nice as a social situation!
Don't be a snowflake! You should know what you are attending 😉
S. A.An amazing experience so funny didn't bother us but don't go if you aren't willing to make yourself look silly, and if you don't like swearing. food is nothing special but the unique experience makes up for that
M. R.I have to say I had fun at Karen's Diner. I took 4 kids which a lot of people will say it's not for kids but I was open minded and didn't mind the swearing and stuff. When we got there we were met with immediate swearing and banter and we were all laughing our heads off. We ordered food and it came out really quickly.... the food is delicious and one of the best burgers I have had. The team at Prestwich was great and I would definitely go again, maybe without the kids to enjoy the games and get the full Karen experience
A. B.What a fabulous experience. 15 if us visited Manchester Diner, mixture of children from 13+ years. Top night dining out, will be hard to beat. Will definitely be returning. Staff were amazing, even the kitchen staff.....if you've not yet been, get yourselves down there.
A. J.Could not stop laughing from start to finish!! The sarcasm and their sense of humour is brilliant - love this concept and the staff execute it so well.
Food is great too.
Spoiler alert, DO NOT enter the restaurant before your reservation time 😂
N. K.Yummy food 😋 and awful service 🤣 only joking! I think 🤔😂 we had the best time last night for my Son's 14th Birthday meal..Our/the Karen's were brilliant 👏 I wish I could remember their names to thank them personally in this review for giving us the best experience ever 😊 one I'm sure we will never forget and we will definitely be coming back again! Literally laughed from start to finish..loved it!
A. B.Had such a great time with my family for my Birthday. Do not go if you’re easily offended, which I aren’t. Food was tasty and I absolutely recommend for people looking for a meal out with a difference.
E. N.I love the place so much, they were so funny and I enjoyed the food although their script was noticeable it was still funny. Would definitely come again. You could tell they enjoyed their job because they were going all out, I would be honest. I love this place and I am definitely coming back.
t. d.Had a great afternoon. The servers were hilarious with a serious attitude. When the menus were flung at us we knew we were in for a treat. The food was lovely. I would definitely recommend this experience if you’re not easily offended
m. a. m. x.I can only describe the our experience nothing but amazing, we attended New Years Eve. The hostess as Karen as can be (hilarious), and as for our server Amber, she was simply nothing short of rude and grumpy.. but honestly she was amazing, they all were. Everyone there was having a great time, food was amazing. We will definitely be coming back. I was the one that shoplifts for Aldi...
S. U. G.Absolutely brilliant. From the minute we stepped in. The food was amazing. The service terrible as you would expect. The guy who looked after us or should I say insulted us I'm not sure of his name but he is tall dark haired with a beard. Totally brilliant bloke up for a laugh and very sharp whit. I told him the service was sh*t and we'd never go back. Left him a 10 pound tip and will if course go again. If you want to see the video search Lous life Karen's diner on YouTube xx
M.Brilliant night didn't stop laughing
The staff are fab fantastic atmosphere
Highly recommended cant wait to go back
K. L.Loved it. All the staff are great, they make you feel very unwelcome (which is their aim) We went as a family as it was my Daughters 11th Birthday, they ended up making her take another tables order, told her it was work experience.. She loved it. 😂
Food was good.
*Do not go if easily offended and can't take a joke*
A. J.Really fun place to go. The servers were excellent and the compare was very funny. Food was simple but tasty.
Only marked it down because they allow children which left me feeling very uncomfortable due to the adult humour and language.
J.You have to understand the concept of the Diner to appreciate it
The food is quite simple burger hot dogs pizza don't expect excellent service because you're not going to get it
Overall a great experience
J. B.Had a fantastic funny lunch here today, absolutely hilarious staff who act their parts amazing. Food is exceptional value for money too also gluten free options available. Highly rated the Karen experience.😂😂
V. T.We had an absolute blast, it was hilarious. Constantly awaiting the next attack on a willing victim 😂 If you want to be entertained whilst you have some decent food, go here. Just please leave your kids with someone else, the language is atrocious 🤣 No photos or videos to leave you in complete surprise.
Z. W.Well don’t go if you can’t take it!! Attended Karen’s diner and safe to say we wasn’t disappointed!!! Tonight they trialed the first Karen’s quiz…. To win a pitcher…. Again a first for Karen’s and well we won….. was definitely a lovely pitcher…. Not a clue what was in it but it tasted so good!!! And definitely had the desired effect. Was so much fun food was lovely and even though they was busy didn’t need to wait long will definitely return!!!!
P. G.Loads of fun, all the staff played their parts great. All super rude, got everyone involved and made it a strangely fun but very rude atmosphere. DON'T take your kids here if you don't want them hearing bad words 😁. Food wise I wasn't that impressed with. Would expect much better food for the price we paid.
A. A.Took my husband and parents. Was amazing. We laughed the whole time. Food was lovely and came out really quickly. Great atmosphere. There was street parking outside.
Cant wait to go again.
D. E.Food is only 4* because of the limited menu. The quality of food was 5*. Never been anywhere quite like this place and it was so refreshing, fun and different - we all loved every minute. Definitely recommend, although maybe use discretion when bringing children.
L. M.Was there last night for my birthday, had an absolute ball. Was given a Title, Ladyship for my birthday which was ripped up by a waitress. I was devastated, how was I to know it was a copy of the original. Anyway, staff are brilliantly rude, food great, atmosphere fantastic, experience top notch, highly recommend Karens Diner. Will definitely be returning.
m. t.Went for my Birthday,If you haven’t got a sense of humour don’t go, We all loved it, laughed all night.The staff are brilliant and so good at being rude🤣,they swear at you,they get you up to spin the wheel to choose what they want you to do (sing,dance,swap places with someone on another table)If it’s your birthday you will never forget them singing Happy Birthday 🤣.We knew what to expect. If you don’t mind swearing,have a good sense of humour and are not easily embarrassed get yourselves booked in for a fun experience.
J. B.Brilliant night. We went yesterday, 12 August, and the girl at the front was brilliant and really made the whole experience. I’d like to say it was s*** service and all that but we thoroughly enjoyed it and the food was great!
J. B.The food was OK. Enjoyed the churros. The service is funny. However, when you have been there a while it gets all the same and not funny. Unfortunately, we won't return, we've experienced it, now. When they sing happy birthday they do the same things to everyone!! I wouldn't take children dar too much swearing. All the very best for the future.
G. S. A.I must say, it was a really fun experience and a novelty. The staff and host are
quick-witted and rip you to shreds verbally. The food on the other hand is shocking, even to the point of sending it back because it was inedible. I understand you are paying for an awful experience but the food is shocking. Don’t go with an empty stomach.
D. C.Entertainment - 6/10
'See the manager Karen' burger - 11/10
Mayo - the place should be shut down for what they served us.
On the whole, I'm definitely bringing my elders because they, with their 'old fashioned' ways, will be shocked 😲
I will up my rating if you make them walk out! 😋
S. F.Seen a couple of YouTube videos about this chain, so after seeing that our closest one is 5 minutes away we just had to go.
Sarcasm and rudeness is order of the day from the moment you step into the place until you leave.
My hair stylist husband was awarded a hat bearing the words "my barber is Stevie Wonder" which had me tickled pink.
The staff are brilliantly impolite "anything else cos I'm not making two trips!". Found ourselves asking for the menus to be brought back just for the look of disgust on their faces.
A. N.Absolutely hilarious! If you don’t have a sense of humour don’t come here. The food is great too! Burgers are delicious. The staff are honestly the funniest people. Absolutely no complaints here. Would come again with other people 😁
E. A.Food was fab & the waitresses were hilarious. However find it really odd how we were asked if we wanted to order desserts mid way through our mains and my friend was given 6 chips even though she paid for full because she asked if she got chips with her meal as a portion didn’t turn up so she gave her 6 for “being rude”??? I get it was part of the act but she could have given the rest after…
C. A.Hilarious and delicious. You would think it would be an easy job giving an experience like they do at Karen’s but if you pay close attention you can see the staff are actually working really hard to gauge how to give customers the best possible experience depending how hardy a sense of humour they have. I seriously wish there were many many more places in the uk in the same spirit as Karen’s diner. Wonderful!
E.Staff were hilarious, atmosphere was great and the food was good as well. Such a fun experience, would return! The place is clean and the decor was really fun. Only thing I would suggest is better signage outside as we weren’t sure where it was!
K. A.It is hilarious (i had tears coming out of my eyes at one point) but all jokes aside if you’re spending money you want a good meal. My food was cold and it wasn’t a good portion given I switched out my fries for salad and didn't receive it, just the burger on its own and because of the vibe you don't want to complain lol. Seems like some genuine requests get lost in the banter. All in all was a really really funny experience, just wouldn’t go back a second time.
C.Really great experience and the food was great too! Definitely not for the easily offended and some of the jokes can be very personal and very highly sexualised, but if you don't mind that it is a great laugh! It's maybe not family friendly for everyone, I seen an approximate six year old get called a "d@&%head" by one of the staff! I personally thought that was hilarious.
The only negative I had is around service. I get the whole concept is to be a bit rude and dump things down at the table, but we needed napkins and sauces and they just won't give you any attention so I guess it's finding that balance to maintaining the experience element but also being able to get napkins and sauces or at least have them in the centre and visible. I also couldn't order extra drinks because the server was in character ignoring us so it's funny but also counterintuitive from a business point of view.
A. M.Great immersive dining experience my cheeks still hurt from laughing. Food was great but the service was absolute poo. Just what we wanted. Highly recommend eating here but it's not for the faint hearted.
Thank you karens we can't wait to return!
m. h.Was what we expected from watching videos of other people going abuse from the moment you walked in. Atmosphere was good but food was just Ok have had far better burgers.
T. F.Absolutely fabulous darling ha ha Iv never laughed so much food was fantastic too brisket beef burger out off this world . Staff are so entertaining as long as you’ve got a good sense of humour . Took my daughter for her birthday she absolutely loved it thankyou so much for making her birthday one too remember xxx
M. '. C.I just love Karen's diner!! I suffer from Mental health and depression and I needed to go somewhere where I could have a laugh and discovered this place and I knew I had to go and I did and had an amazing time and got totally roasted by the lovely Mica Young! Feel alot better now! Definitely will come back
A. K.Great night and great atmosphere. Probably not for you if you are easily offended but we had a great time and was actually surprised at how good the food was.
Z. C.Such a funny night, atmosphere was great and the food was nicer than expected from a 'diner' type restaurant!! Cocktails were lovely aswell if a bit on the pricey side. Really fab night all round!
T. P.Went with my friends for my birthday and had an absolute blast! Loved every second. The staff were brilliant. Over the moon we were able to get a table. Thank you for making my birthday memorable :)
S. D.Had an awesome, fun and very entertaining evening last night👌. Thank you to you all that made it memorable especially for my 11 yr old son who had no idea of the concept which made it even better and so hysterical😂😂. Thank you for being so vile, obnoxious, rude and entertaining. Food was ok and the cocktails were yummy. Big thanks to the manager for my free bubble cocktail that was delicious🤤. 🙏 🙏 🙏
N.Excellent place to go if you want to get abuse and have a comical experience whilst still having decent food! Ignore the bad reviews there a waste of time! If it's your birthday, you get abuse happy birthday sang to you and a free syringe shot! Even played a few games whilst having our time there!
M. C.We had the funniest afternoon at the diner after our kids had seen on Tik Tok, it really didn’t disappoint, the staff are hilarious with their rude banter and games …. On top of all of this the food is delicious and we’ll definitely be going back! Big shout out to our waitress Erin!! One piece of advice don’t ask for ketchup and expect to get 🤣🤣
B. C.The funniest night I've spent in a long time. It's a must that you go and experience it yourself. The evening is about the fun factor not the food but we thourely enjoyed what we chose. I will definitely be taking friends there to share the experience. Well done Karen's Diner Team you were all amazing.
K. B.Absolutely brilliant. Took my 9 year old for her birthday as she asked.
Certainly not for snowflakes. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Great food, amazing staff x
R.They were all horrible (in the best way) so enjoyable and they were actually considerate of my friends nut allergy as they didn’t want to kill her . Sorry I don’t have names but shout out to the ginger girl who ‘greeted’ us and the guy who served us. Food wasn’t great but i think visiting is more for the experience
K. P.We went to Karen’s on the second day of opening, straight away we were laughing and we liked that the waitress asked us if we understood the concept.
The table wasn’t free so they had us walking round the room for a while, they made it fun so that was fine.
When we sat down and got the menu, we were a bit disappointed that there were no chicken burger options that had been on the online menu.
However we ordered and the food was nice, standard food but we enjoyed it.
We were given a free shot for my birthday too which was a nice touch.
The reason for only 4 stars is that we expected to be ‘entertained’ a bit more than we did and we also felt like they were quite pushy with getting you to spend extra money, asking a lot about starters and desserts. Some of the ‘jokes’ were said to us more than once as well.
We probably wouldn’t go again as we felt it was a one time experience however we do recommend trying it out once!
L. T.Entertaining dining experience with rude and unhelpful staff. A parody of the UK speciality of "bad service!"
Asked the waiter if he had any cutlery, he said "yes, but I can't be arsed to get it!"
Food was actually very good.
J. L.Absolutely the place to go , very clean, food hot, undecided what too wear , I suggest a thick skin as they don't hold back , absolutely brilliant experience, the food is exceptional, a huge thank u to Amber our waitress, everything was way too much trouble, no manners at all , never smiled , even tho if she did she's so beautiful, asked for cutlery told to get our own ha ha, mayonnaise given on a napkin ha ha ha played the part brilliantly, thank you so so much , would deffo recommend, fabulous !!! 10/10 karens diner loved it ♥️
S. C.Absolutely brilliant. Would love to work somewhere like this. People saying "horrible service" - that's the whole point!! The service isn't actually "bad", staff are attentive and very good at their jobs. The joint is very clean and well presented and the food is very good and reasonably priced, especially in current times. The staff are intentionally rude and make fun of customers, that's the whole point of the "Karen" gimmick. Don't come here if you're boring and can't laugh at yourself.
Good food, great experience. Will definitely be back.
N. P.We went for a works night out, we had an amazing night, it was one massive laugh, food & drinks were brilliant, staff rude but loved it, will definitely recommend and would definitely return. Thanks for making us feel so unwelcome and making it one of the best nights I've ever had !!
g. c.Went today for my grandsons birthday 🎂 and we had an absolute ball. The food was great and the entertainment even better. Well done to the staff your all brilliant 👏.
C. G.Best entertainment ever absolutely loved it. I'm planning on going back just for the laugh
r. h.What a great night, good atmosphere. Full of laughter. Food reasonably well priced for the quality and quantity. Definitely worth it for the experience, Will be back -Tin Tin
G. J.Really good restaurant, the atmosphere was really fun, the staff were horrible but brilliant. The hostess was fantastic and as were all the staff.
The food was nice and nice range of cocktails.
L.Quite an experience! Lots of fun would definitely recommend. I do feel we could have been abused slightly more, then it would have been golden. Food was lovely. My boyfriend felt left out that he didn't get to play a game so I'm so grateful you let him have a go on the wheel at the end, he loved showing off his dance moves to everyone so thank you! Having someone going around with a microphone roasting tables is a brilliant idea and generally quite a unique dining experience.
K. O.Went on Monday with my friend, we are both Karen.
Not laughed so much. The food is outstanding. Staff are rude as they are supposed to be.
Need more Karen diners and cafes in the world. You owe yourself a laugh.
A. K.The food was alright. The service was unbelievable . Our waiter was rude, grumpy and made us collect our own food from the pass. One staff member had mastered the side eye and obnoxious sassy stance to professional levels. A great experience. We hated it.
M. L.What an experience! I’ve got to say after a mix up over a food allergy the staff couldn’t have been more helpful when ‘out of character’ they refunded our whole bill brilliant staff especially Amber, good laugh but don’t go if you are thin skinned or hate swearing not for small children but great food and very entertaining
Z. M.Been to Karen's Diner today, it's been absolutely amazing? I'm definitely going again.
I disability and can't walk at all so I have to use an electric wheelchair to get around èverywhere. I absolutely loved the fact that none of the staff treated me any differently to the other customers and gave me the exact same experience as everyboddy else regardless of my disability, they didn't treat me any different, which is great because people do/have treated me differently throughout my entire life.
100% highly recommended.
Coming from someone who's never before, in opinion Karen's Diner are better than the Karen's we hear/see on Tik Tok.
P. H.Absolutely awesome experience. Food was one of the best burgers ive ever had. Service is as you expect it but the staff didnt make it personal. Would highly recommend it.
M. H.We had a fun time and the staff were very insulting. They defaced our colouring in and for god’s sake don’t mention the V (vegetarian) word. Kelly, our server, went out of her way to be rude to us. But you will have to leave your table after an hour. 🙈
P. P.Honestly not that great. Waited ages to be seated, when we were seated we were shoved in a corner, and had no interaction from staff at all - which is the whole point of this resteraunt. Servers never came to check on us, we were rushed out after an hour after being told we could only sit in our table for an hour.. very odd. Food was cold and soggy, and menu was not the one that was on the website, and it was also overpriced. Overall i do not recommend at all. They only seemed to interact with a select few people.
S. R.Like the concept, but was expecting rude and actually received vulgar. Went with the flow and belly laughed all night. However, I don’t like that the food was just slammed down at one end of the table with no mention of what was what, meaning we had to lift up burger buns to check who’s was who’s. And also didn’t know you only got an hours reservation, so one waitress came over and shoved a card reader at one of our friends faces and told them to pay. He refused as they hadn’t even cleared our table and we wanted desserts, and she then threatened to call the police. She was so rude it actually took another waitress to come over and interject and allow us to spend longer there.
Was so excited but won’t return. Certainly not for the faint hearted, and definitely not suitable for kids.
C. A.Food was amazing. The atmosphere was electric and as expected the staff were extremely rude and lazy.
Not my first visit and will defo return.
I. S. J.10/10 best experience ever. Total abuse but in the best way possible and anytime you try and say something they’ve always got a comeback. I’ll defo will be back absolutely loved it
m. m.Food was cold, same as burger van scran tbh, the staff are great tho and the atmosphere is like butlins for adults. It's a one time thing if you can hack abuse
C. C.Great experience and laugh. However food overpriced and not that nice. My burger bun was dry and chips cold. Pizza not much better and desert of Waffles was tastless.
H. A.We had thee best time at Karen"s Diner!!!!!!! As soon as we walked in we were met with insults and abuse, which wasn't disappointing!!! The lady who greets you is amazing (unsure if her name) and also Kelly, she was very funny. The food was so niceeeeeeee 😋😋
My Partner said "Compliments to th Chef and she told him to F Off" was hilarious from starr to finish!!;;;
G. B.Was amusing - funny for most part but food was pretty average at best. Cold etc if you’re going to give a ‘shit service’ at least make the food great !
M. H.It was the funniest evening in a restaurant, the service was awful and the staff were rude just how it was meant to be. Exceeded expections. Great fun, definitely recommend.
C. s.Terrible service ( as expected) and good food. 10/10 for the experience, Laughed from start to finish. Not for the faint hearted, One big show from the moment you enter, and everyone is taking part, whether you like it or not! We will definitely return.
T. N.Took my 11 year old son here for a laugh. The staff were terrible, which is just what we wanted 😉. The buffalo wings were amazing 😋
N. C.Came as a group of 10 yesterday afternoon, everyone was literally in stitches all afternoon from start to finish was a fantastic experience and will definitely be back again
K. R.We loved it. We laughed all night and the food was really good too. They were more abusive than I expected, its not for the faint hearted but it was so funny.
v. W.What a brilliant night, highly recommended, funny and totally full of fun, parking is free but limited, food was lovely… thanks for having us Karen diner you load of t@#ts lol
N. D.Absolutely fantastic!!!
You won't stop laughing and the food is great too!!
PS. You need a sense of humour ;-)
C. R.Amazing experience and great food. Will definitely be going back for more. Great place and shame there isn't more of this.
M. F.Absolutely fantastic. Did not disappoint. Staff, food atmosphere all amazing. X
l. s.Was a funny experience with lots of laughing. Fancied the blonde Karen we had serving us, guess I'm into Karens now. What's her number?
N. D.A good laugh in here for definite, I wouldn't rate the food much though tbh but I guess it's more about the experience ✌🏽
M. C.Exactly the service you expect! Food was actually awesome and Amber was the best (she made me promise to say this)
E.You go for the experience - food is decent but not a lot of it. You don't get long on your table so if you want dessert you need to tell them up front - we waited 30 minutes to be able to order dessert then were told it was too late because we would have to leave our table soon - but if they'd taken the order when we asked we'd have been able to, so that was a little odd. Great when you first go in and get greeted by the best Karen but the actual servers were lacking in entertainment value. We went for a birthday but this was overlooked which was a shame as we were expecting a roast. Overall it was good fun and we're booked in again at the end of the year but I'm hoping for a little more next time!
