A visit to Corvette Diner is the closest thing to a time warp you’ll ever experience. Like every fifties place you’ve ever eaten, the restaurant has beeboppin’ rock and roll dancing through the speakers, milkshakes and burgers, bazooka gum dropped off alongside the check, and of course, the token Corvette blasting through the wall—but Corvette Diner does it with style. The fifties rock is managed by an actual DJ, to whom you can give requests. Besides strawberry and chocolate, the menu boasts creative shakes like peanut butter and choco-mint, and besides burgers, the kitchen offers homestyle favorites like sloppy joes, chicken-fried steak, meatball hoagies, fish and chips, and fried pickles. There’s even a burger with peanut butter as a topping; the owners swear by it, and will buy you another burger if you don’t like it. The bazooka gum is actually hurled at you by your server, who is likely clothed in a poodle skirt and outrageous beehive. Fine dining it’s not, but Corvette Diner certainly knows how to show its patrons a good time.
Insider Tip: Corvette Diner, San Diego's original rock-n-roll joint with 1950s décor, classic diner dishes, and gum-smacking, bouffant-haired waitresses pulled up its 22 year-old Hillcrest roots and cruised to new digs in Historic Liberty Station in summer of 2009.
Hillcrest would not be the same with out the famous Corvette Diner. Great place to be nostalgic and reminiscent of the 1950's. They have goood all-American burgers, fries and milkshakes. I love it!
This is one of my most favorite restaurants in San Diego! It's always a good time... it kinda reminded me of that diner in Pulp Fiction. The waitresses always make it more enjoyable with the giant beehive and the bombarding of straws. Enjoy a burger and shake the way it should be.
I have never had so much fun going out to dinner before. The whole atmosphere took me back...way back. We even got the DJ to play our song. The food was great, my friend ordered a hot dog and the servers came to our table to serenade her with a song about a girl who loves hot dogs. The waiter threw a TON of Bazooka Joe at us at the end of our meal. It was a great way to end a great night!
I came with my family I had a server named Varla she was horrible our food was cold she was just talking with her friends it was unprofessional. I waited for like 2 hours for my food it was cold and tasted awful. Our server Varla was even using bad words infront of my children I asked to speak to the manager but but she said she was the manager and if that is so which I doubt what kind of running of a resteraunt is that. She basically put me and my family in a bad mood with her horrible personality we even saw her screaming at other employees I went there to eat not to be in the middle of a bunch of drama I will never go there again!
My family has been going to Corvette Diner for years as a place to celebrate birthdays, holidays, or special occassions. My friend and I decided to go there one afternoon before a theatre show, we were feeling adventerous and finally tried the hambuger with peanut butter. We were happily surprised with how good it was. That is our new favorite so now it is our favorite thing to order along with an order of gravy french fries. The food is awesome
Nice Spot in Hillcrest San Diego next to the Balboa Park, specially for kids and fun, the place to be. Nice food nice staff and nice atmosphere. Last week I took out some firends of mine to the place and we had such a blast! I highly recommend this spot for a fun night on week days.
This place is just fun. Even for older crowd like me. I always feel like a teenager when I'm hanging around there. The waitresses are classy and pretty and of course lightly dressed. Forget ruby's go to the Corvette Dinner
This is such a great little 50s restaurant for a fun night out in Hillcrest. I've been here several times with some of my friends and we always have a great time. They have great burgers and fries and I always get one of the Elvis shakes.

I love bringing the kids out to the Corvette Diner for a fun night out. It gives them a little idea of how things were when I was a kid and there's great songs playing all night long. The waitresses are great fun and always cute too.
