Located near to the pier in Brighton (on the main road) there is this amazing diner that does a great selection of America:
- Breakfast
- Lunch
- Dinner
The food is reasonably priced and you get more than enough for your buck (ok pound).
We had breakfast there and it def set you up for the day so if you go to Brighton go and have breakfast it won't disappoint -

The place itself is very hipster. Let's go ahead and talk about the food. As soon as I got my burger I noticed the bun was burnt. The fries were a little cold, It took us a little over 10 mins to get out entrees. As my first time in Brighton I expected more from this place.

I give them a two-star review just because the interiors, milkshakes, the presentation and staff were nice. The food, however, is another story. The burger patties were way too dry, the buns were burnt, the chips were unpleasant and the coleslaw was sour. This applies to all burgers and sides our group had. Won't go back and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to try it either. It's not so bad that it's worth going there only once for the exceptionally bad experience, it's just unnecessarily bad. Least valuable food I've had in Brighton over the six months I've been here. 'Cause it's not cheap - then it would've been a slightly different story.

Go if only for the milkshakes.
Seriously, JB's makes a 10 star milkshake in the UK. Thick like it should be. Massive as Americans generally do it. You get the full milkshake in a standard 1950s nostalgia glass, but you also get all the remainder in a metal cup to the side. I didn't even order a milkshake, but my husband's was so good (banoffee), that I kept going back for extra.
The food itself is aok. I had the ribs and was warned that it was a big portion. Understatement of the year. I had three gigantic tiers of ribs. They were a bit too big to pick up with your hands, but they were quite tender and fork-able. Their chips are pretty crisp. Chicken wings were tiny but tasty and plentiful.
But the milkshakes.
Ooh! Also, on the way out, there's a vending machine filled with American goodies. Got myself a pack of my beloved Twizzlers to go! -

Some friends and I stumbled on the American Diner in Brighton whilst looking for something to eat that wasn't right next to the amusement rides and fish and chip takeawys of the seafront.
It's decor is typical of a faux "Americana" feel, with sports and Hollywood memrobilia on the walls, a retro jukebox in the corner and a TV screen showing old Tom and Jerry cartoons.
The food was ok, but nothing special. On the positive side, the portions were large and reasonably priced, with the £8 burger, chips and salad meal I ordered being more than I could eat, which isn't usually the case. I normally go for a double burger in places like Byron.
They also had a good selection of milkshakes. I didn't try one, but a couple of friends did, and said they were good. I instead opted for the only draught beer on tap - Coors light.
