Quay Street Diner

Great little diner I stumbled upon while llwaiting for my coach to arrive as I was visiting Bristol to see friends. Staff were friendly, the diner had a good atmosphere and the food was pretty tasty overall a good find a shame they only do certain menus at certain time but enjoyed my experience.

Really lovely and friendly staff, great to see Budvar on tap! I can’t think of anywhere else in Bristol that does. Food was excellent also. No complaints!

Great food again, second visit, won't be the last visit for sure 😍

Had lunch here! Food was fresh and really tasty. Best chicken ceasar salad!

Waitress was very friendly, fantastic and made easy work of splitting our bill!

Great, will be back!

When you find yourself thinking about their hash brown breakfast stack weeks after you went and it makes you start salivating, it must be good! I wish I lived close enough to eat there more regularly. Fantastic food, friendly staff and excellent selection of drinks too.

If you are after some good American breakfast, Quay St Diner is a solid choice. We had the Fried Chicken Waffles & the Breakfast Waffles - good-sized portions and tasty. The chicken was alright, and there was too much maple syrup on both dishes, but apart from that, really good.

Regarding service, we read some recent reviews that the staff's service could be better. Unfortunately, this has not improved. When we arrived, the host was able to seat us quickly and take our order within the first five minutes. We received our drinks almost immediately. However, our food took longer than 40min - funny enough, the kitchen had like five plates lined up ready to be served, but the rest of the staff would seem to be chilling by the bar. After the host started expediting, we finally received our order, including a couple of tables next to us who had been waiting for longer.
On top of that, after our meal, we had to wait extra 10 min as we reminded our waiter a couple times for the bill - he acknowledged every single time but would keep manning the tables next to us.
But I have to give it to them, all of the staff was friendly at all times.

While the diner serves some pretty good food, the service can definitely be improved. They need a more efficient expediting system. So, if you have a craving for American/British diner food & a couple of hours to spare, this is your restaurant.

Definitely a hidden Gem. It was our last day in Bristol and I was craving pancakes, did a quick search online and selected this Diner. I must say I enjoyed my meal and the pancakes were delicious. Service was a tad bit slow when it came to the end but we were not rushing anywhere. I definitely say check this place out and there's a cool artwork just right above the diner, so you can take pictures too.

A beautiful spot with a really nice atmosphere in the heart of the city.

The food is excellent and really well presented, but beware that the waiters can sometimes take a little longer than expected. This is simply because they are so busy and they put in the effort. The food is worth the wait.
