Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The pancakes at PJ's are a must-try; they rival anything you'd find in the States, and locals rave about them.
Milkshakes come in countless flavors and manage to satisfy even the pickiest sweet tooth – some options include Maltesers, Banoffee, and even Freak Shakes. Perfect for a mid-afternoon treat!
The warm, welcoming staff receives accolades for their friendliness and attentiveness, enhancing the diner’s atmosphere and experience. Everyone feels at home here.
Most Disliked
Some patrons mention a limited selection of vegan and vegetarian options which could be a drawback for plant-based diners.
The cash payment preference, while manageable, could pose minor inconveniences since the minimum card payment is £10. This could deter guests just looking to grab a quick bite with less cash on hand.
While the small size is cozy, a few guests noted that it may feel crowded during peak hours, potentially impacting the overall dining experience.

Fantastic family run cafe specialising in the classic American diner experience, the staff are lovely and the food is incredible - their pancakes are every bit as good as any I've had over in the States over the years! Minimum value is £10 for card transactions to cover their bank fees, but cash payments are the preferred option.

Great service. Super menu though very limited vegan and veg options. The milkshakes and waffles are mind-boggling. Nice high tempo music is played.

Brilliant place, small, but not in a claustrophobic way. Staff were really nice, food was brilliant and at a good price too. We absolutely loved the effort that went in to creating the 50's dinner feel too.
