Fun, relaxed, locally-owned diner comprised of 2 railroad cars and a 50's motif. Tasty eats and ample portions with friendly service. If you want to kickoff your day with a hearty breakfast, get the breakfast burrito with a dollop of chunky salsa and hashbrowns.

We had a superb mid-day delivery experience! Quick service by DoorDash, and great food! The Spaghetti with meat sauce, not so much sauce, but piled with spicy meat! Really tasty! Fish n'chips huge portion, order extra tartar sauce! Chorizo burrito was good, lots of eggs and cheese, but the chorizo was dry and really mild. The Elvis burger! Juicy and hot, with fresh, crisp toppings! Good portion of onion rings! Clam Chowder rates high, big clams, thick and creamy! Also the Meatloaf dinner, they actually serve real lumpy mashed potatoes! Good, rich gravy over thick slabs of meatloaf. Altogether a wonderful dinner, we will order again!

Really enjoyed this diner! The food was awesome and the atmosphere was really amazing. They have decorated it wonderfully. Service was exceptional! Road our bikes there from Pacific Dunes Ranch…

Update: I came back 👍🏽! My first post months ago; Got a new discovery today! I wasnt sure if I would like to try for my brunch hunt reviews. But this is actually an awesome place! The kind of diner’s I have wanting to experience! Here’s my review: Pancakes: i have tried the best pancake before thats really fluffy and just melts, so I would give this only ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 it’s not bad Bacon: Easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 they did it perfectly. Not greasy. When I asked for crispy, it is crispy. Egg: though eggs look like easy to make, it’s not. I wanted mine over-medium but it’s quite close so it’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 The staffs are great. Fast service. I love the interiors of this adaptive-reuse of a train car!

It was a nice little place. You don't go there for the food you go there for that atmosphere. And there service was outstanding. Food was just your average diner food, nothing bad at all, but to be served in rail car and the diner setting takes you back way back. Definitely would go there again.

Got some food here after a sand dune ride on Oceano beach. Signed up for a sand dune ride last year and the location meetup was here. Very cool how they have a diner on an old train. Got an old fashioned milkshake and some soup🥤

I stopped in for a quick bite. I would come again for the atmosphere for the entertainment of eating in derailed train car. I wanted to love this place, but as soon as I walked in I was not so “greeted” by an unfriendly face. She had two other tables and was in the weeds. I quickly ordered my food as she seemed inpatient. I ordered the tri tip plate. I was nervous because this seemed like the kind of place that has so many food options, food gets over processed. I was right. Bad idea. The best thing on the plate was the chili beans, the tri tip was God awful, over cooked way too much Worcestershire way too much salt, the mashed potatoes where runny possibly box potatoes idk. The gravy had been sitting in too long and my food was cold. Except for the trip tip which may have been microwaved. The salsa was awful as well, the tomatoes were sinking and soggy. Anyway. Never mind I would never go back. One positive thing because I hate to make bad reviews on restaurants the restroom was super clean ! The server didn’t ask me how my food was and then she was very sweet by saying thank you as I stood up to leave, when I was finished.

Rock & Roll Diner is a cool railroad car diner, but the menu is trying to do too much, in my opinion. Breakfast all day would be ideal. We tried to customize a burger with their black bean patty and lettuce wrapped, but didn’t come out too well. The bean patty was more like falafel. The clam strips were good. I’ll have to try again, for breakfast, cause that’s what we wanted, but hopefully better next time.

Beautiful restaurant! The atmosphere inside was 100% worth the trip, and the staff were very kind and attentive. For the food, I can’t say it was my favorite—I got the barbeque sampling platter and the tri tip was DELICIOUS, but the chicken was a bit dry and I wasn’t a fan of the sauce, and the ribs were a bit cold and wasn’t for me. The lobster bisque (soup of the day) wasn’t my kind of soup either, but my friends found it delicious. Overall, I had a lot of fun here, and it’s worth the trip when you’re in the area!

The atmosphere and the service was great! You get a big amount of food for a good price. We decided to try this place for breakfast. I ordered french toast with eggs and hash browns. The food was a bit cold when I got it, and to me the taste of the meal was mediocre. My parents had pancakes that they liked, and my sister got the Machaca which she liked as well. It is a fun place to go to for the experience.

Greek food was really good! Walked in at 7:45 and they sat our 3 families (a group of 18) without a complaint! Atmosphere was fun too. Love the retro music. Staff went out of their way to accommodate us

Awesome food and great atmosphere great music would go again Elvis burger is amazing definitely will recommend and will be returning

Great service, great breakfast, and fun ambiance. The cinnamon roll with icing was delicious.

Food is always great as is the service. Clam chowder is very good. Ruben excellant. Service very friendly. Ambience is nice 50's memorabilia on walls and period music.

Cute, neat little place. The chicken salad was good for something light - but $17. The kids chicken nuggets were not hand made but frozen, pre-made nuggets which is a big deal to me. I prefer to be able to order my kids real food and think kids menus should reflect that. The place is EXPENSIVE for a diner! $3.50 for drinks and kids meals do not include drinks. We paid $70 for 4 people.

Food was average, service was fast but waitress not too friendly. Quant location and nice atmosphere. Pricing was also about average

First time eating here and probably my last. I ordered fish and chips and was highly disappointed. The fish tastes like grocery store fish-sticks and my fries were soggy. The forgot my utensils as well. Slappy’s is top notch for fish and chips. Go there instead.

Staff was mostly ok. Food was not that good. I didn't eat most of mine. We were seated in the table side because someone in our party is disabled. I dont think they heat that side. It was so cold, it was hard to enjoy the breakfast or even just get thru it. The restaurant smells like bad mildew, like a very old boat, before you even enter it. Made me wonder what condition the kitchen is in. The restroom is difficult for a disabled person to access. Had high hopes for this place. It might have been great ten years ago but is in such a state of disrepair, I don't see it surviving much longer.

Beautiful 50s atmosphere, nice idea of have this style inside a old train. Like the business card all over on the ceiling. It gave you an idea of the business history. We did not have a reservation, and we got the table as I entered. Busses was really nice, the waiter was a little bit rude, especially when I asked her if was possible to substitute a part of the dish. Food was not impressive, sweet English muffins are not a good choice for eggs Benedict with ham.

No service sat for 10 minutes manager watched us come in and sit and ignored us and this was at PCV location . Only one other table of guests inside and already finished meal.

The staff was super aggressive and rude. DO NOT COME HERE. They will yell at you and everything. The guys with glasses and a white beard will be all in your face and attack you.

Food was alright. But the staff got very aggressive especially when I asked for extra napkins. They also tried to chase away, see the included photo. Highly recommend to never go
