Roadster's Diner (San Francisco)

Stopped here for a mid-day lunch while running family errands. It was a great time for us to go as the restaurant was empty - we were seated immediately and had the full attention of the staff. Out waitress was super attentive and, most importantly, very pleasant. She was attentive to our 5yr old, ensuring that he was entertained and left with a memento from there. On the food front, my wife ordered a chicken sandwich, which was served with a TON of fries (which are fresh cut btw - really love that!) - she felt that it was adequate, nothing special. I had the Korean Fried Chicken with French Fries - the menu said 3pc, but I received about half a chicken, which was a pleasant surprise. My dish was actually very tasty and clearly served fresh cooked. The served yellow sauce went well with the chicken - thumbs up for that. Our son had his usual Chicken fingers and fries - which he enjoyed very much. It has been some time since we last visited Roadster - that visit received a negative commentary from me regarding the service, food quality and value. It appears that they've modified their menu, streamlining it a bit which should have a positive impact on overall service execution. Though we had a "Family Chicken Experience" with our food selection, in fairness, I have to give them an improved rating this time around - near 5 star (had to take one off for the sandwich). Hopefully, they can maintain this level when there is more volume in the dining area. Overall reco - a good place to visit for an American Diner like experience. Worth a visit.

This place is an absolute ripoff. For the prices they charge, the portions and quality are not aligned. I ordered a grapenut milkshake that had about 6 sips of ice cream, the rest was all whipped cream. The burger was ok, much smaller than one would expect for $16. Service was slow...they only had 2 waitresses...we had to wait quite awhile for overall service. This is not a place I will go to ever again and I recommend everyone else to spend their money somewhere else, unless you prefer having poor experiences.

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.

Fuimos a desayunar, las porciones son grandes pero la comida es de baja calidad, los pancakes saben raro, las tostadas saben a pan de baja calidad. No volvería a desayunar allí, por que considero que el precio por lo que sirvieron en el desayuno no lo vale. La atención si fue muy buena, la chica muy atenta y pendiente. Tendría que volver a probar otra comida que no sea desayuno

3ra vez que vengo al rest., el servicio espectacular, la comida esta buenisima, esta vez pedi un salmon, super rico, el milkshake de galleta super buena, 100% recomendable...definitivamente un rest para regresar
