We eagerly anticipated the opening of this diner as a potential family restaurant option. We visited during the 2nd week of them opening and, of course, the place was mobbed. The wait for a table wasn't too bad though and we got our chance after about 20 mins. The atmosphere is very retro NJ diner, which is unique for Panama (Johnny Rockets does something similar, but the Panama version is not the full deal) and a welcome change. Didn't give more than 3 stars because of the following. ...small table/seats make for a tight fit for 4 adults, music was 80's which we liked but louder than ideal, pricing is high for what is being offered. My wife and I ordered the house burger (which cannot be ordered to your preference for some reason), fries and the grapenut milkshake and our 15 yr old daughter ordered a chicken sandwich with chips and the prep milkshake. Our burgers were good, not great (expected a premium burger based on the price - that is not what is offered); our fries were ok; the chips were good (though too salty); the grape nut milkshakes were very good (highly recommended) and the Oreo milkshake was a major disappointment (tasted like Oreo milk vs milkshake). Overall, this was an overpriced, average dining experience that has the potential to be really good if they address some fundamental elements called out above.
