This bright, noisy, cheerful restaurant is not the place for a relaxing meal, but it is great fun. A popular venue for birthday parties, graduation celebrations and other family nights out, the restaurant also offers a full bar for the adults. You can get even enjoy chewable alcohol in the form of Jello shooters. The menu consists of hamburgers and retro home-style cooking, with a few... more

The Corvette Diner is all about stepping back to the '50s, with rock n' roll music, burgers, shakes, coke, bubblegum-tossing, and sassy waitresses in poodle skirts with bouffant hairdos. There is a DJ nightly and great entertainment - on Fridays and Saturdays, there is also a magician and balloon guy. The portions are sizable and you certainly won't walk away hungry. Part of the fun is reading... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

Retro-themed diner entertains with impromptu singing performances and old-fashioned, soda fountain-style fun at this Hillcrest classic.

The Scene Black and white checkered floor, chrome accented counters and real soda fountains fill the two-tiered dining room, with a shiny, vintage corvette on display in the center. Waitresses don huge wigs and display impressive pin collections on their aprons, and their colorful personalities are exaggerated during impromptu song-and-dance routines whenever Rock Around The Clock... more

The Concept Cover every inch of space with American icons -- Jimmy Dean, Coca-Cola, chrome and Corvettes -- throw in a little neon, turn up the moldy oldies, train the sassy staff to throw bubble gum, and you've got a repeat destination for parents looking to please their seen-it-all kids.

The Crowd Insanely happy children scarfing hamburgers and milkshakes -- it's birthday party... more

Travel back in time to the rockin' 1950s at this theme diner, where the jukebox is loud, the gum-snapping waitresses slide into your booth to take your order, and the decor is neon and vintage Corvette to the highest power. Equal parts Happy Days hangout and Jackrabbit Slim's (as in Pulp Fiction ), the Corvette Diner is a comfy, family-friendly time warp in the midst of Hillcrest, and the... more

besides the fried pickles, the food isn't much to rave about. its hard to get a refill and the atmosphere was a little overwhelming. a great place to go if you're taking the kids out...or if you've had a few shots beforehand.

Pros

+ great fried pickles. enough straws to last a month.

Cons

- parking . and the servers seem to be given too large of stations to cover.

Something New for Dinner by Lesley R. at InsiderPages

Great fun atmosphere for a non-typical dining experience. The waiters act 'rude' but it is part of the game so play along. The shakes are amazing but they will fill you up if you drink it all before dinner. Typical diner menu but with a delicious twist. Even if some ingredient combinations sound strange TRY THEM! (you'll be surprised!)
