Waiter was preoccupied with playing his role and didn't even no we existed to start with. Also, he didn't come back to get our check someone else did. Food was good, atmosphere was fun.
5/5 stars! My mom and I absolutely loved Corvette Diner! The food was great, but the fun atmosphere and overall experience made it even better. Our waiter, Wally, was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome.
We also loved the balloon artist who went around offering to make balloons for each table. My mom especially loved that and thought it was such a fun touch!
The location is great too, with a huge open parking lot and plenty of free parking, so no worrying about meters or finding street parking. It’s just outside the city and surrounded by a really cute area with plenty to see and do. Since we visited in the fall, there was even a pumpkin patch right across the street!
Such a fun experience, and my mom and I would absolutely come back!

This was a unique place! We are from out of town but to describe it I would say this is in a large shopping area quite spread out with lots of parking and trees and beautiful buildings.
This restaurant was very 50s.
When you arrive, they give you a time that you need to leave by! Everybody is given roughly 90 minutes from start to finish. That was fascinating to me. It made me feel like this was quite a popular place. The decor was different depending on which room you were in. We walked through all of them afterward just because it was so interesting.
All the waiters were certainly dressed up to impress! They were quite amazing. They also stopped every 10 minutes or so to do a dance. We were meeting our daughter's new boyfriend here and it was so loud that it was difficult to communicate much. The prices were pretty high but this is California!

We chose this place solely based on the photos of the interior. It was a blast back to when times were different and music ran the heartbeat of America. Music was loud cars were fun and being different was edgy. The decor is a lot to look at and keeps your eyes occupied for awhile in the midst of ordering.
I like trying simple treats to gauge foods that are a loved classic. I got a Vanilla Shake and let me tell you. It was easily the best you've ever had. For some reason the drink tastes better out of the metal mixing cup rather than the glass it comes out in. Burgers were good, but honestly not as good as you'd expect from a burger shop. Nothing to write home about. The fries were crunchy and nice with a nice spice/salt mixture ontop. Overall the kids loved the meal as it was very out of the 'NORM' for what we'd eat.
Service- the service by the waitress was just okay. Nothing good or bad. Took about 20 minutes to order which is a little bit aggravating. But as I like to say these are first world problems. But after ordering food came out promptly drinks then burgers. The check also took another 10-15 minutes to get as well.

My husband and I came to San Diego for our sons Marine boot camp graduation in September. My husband and I stopped in to get some dinner and was thrown back in time.
The decor, music and staff were very 50's, upbeat and so much fun.
We had the great pleasure of meeting and visiting with a wonderful young lady named Natasha that we found out later was the general manager. She gave us her business card and invited us back with our son.
When we returned with our new Marine a few nights later, she came over and made sure that we were taken care of and that our new Marine had an out if things got overwhelming. Our waitresses were both just as fun and on point.
We recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience.
