Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Whenever I visited my mum who was 90 years old on this visit( I live in Tasmania now) we would spend the whole time on the road. Sometimes for a couple of hours or 5 and others overnight down south (Wanaka, Te Anau, etc. One of the quick drives we went through Oxford. Apparently we have early family there. Not sure but I think it was the Knowles. We needed some lunch so parked as close as I could to a cafe. Mum loved as her father and her husband had mid 30's? Fleetmasters and 3 of her 4 son's have owned Chevs. it when we walked in the door. We had a lovely lunch. When the 'waiter' came over he moved the laminated menu that mum had put in front of her as a placemat. The gentleman kindly moved the menu to the side so I had to mention that why she had it ther. He smiled and left it in place. When I went to pay the bill I was told that it had been taken care of. I glanced around and saw this silver haired gentleman (the waiter and obviously the owner) smiling. Wasn't a huge bill but just showed what kind of service and kindness from this Diner.

First tried here out of curiosity. Massively impressed. Every time we've been back the food and Customer Service standards haven't changed. Faultless. Great value generous portions designed to satisfy hunger and taste great rather than be photographed. They've perfectly captured what they were trying to achieve. Round trip for us of just on two hours and about 160 Km. Worth every minute of time and the fuel costs. Thoroughly recommend.

Delicious food and excellent service. Waitress came straight to me when I walked through the door and engaged. Very friendly. Staff happy to change menu items to suit my needs. Diner has great music for the era sought, and it’s not so loud you can’t talk to others. Very clean and excellent decor. Had an amazing experience. Thank you team, your diner rocks!!

Everything from the decor, the jukebox music, the service and the food, was all amazing. Probably the best chicken burger I've had! Curly fries deliciously seasoned. Kids loved their floats and food too. Served quickly although relatively busy. Reasonably priced. Will be back.

Managed to get a table without booking on a Sunday lunch, others not so fortunate, space outside didn't seem to be used. Ok service from themed staff, good milkshakes, with Malt !!!, not sure if the mains were fresh cooked or frozen but it was not terrible. Not expensive so not complaining.

Hi Rodney C,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - Sundays are very busy so we do recommend booking.
Our outdoor area is very much limited to weather so is not always in use. All our meals are cooked fresh to order :)

Called in there for lunch today. Spotlessly clean throughout. Staff professional yet friendly too. Excellent food and reasonably priced.. Had one of the best thick shakes that I had ever had. Very glad that we happened upon this Diner.

Recommend booking as it was quite busy. Super cute atmosphere, 50s themed American diner. Loved the servers were in costume and there was even a jukebox. The food is amazing as was the serving size. Even the booth seating us way more comfortable than most in christchurch - very bouncy.. Not a lot of room, but definitely recommend it if making a trip to Oxford. Loved it.

Popped in for takeaway coffees. Wonderful friendly service & great coffee at a fair price. Loved the look of the all day breakfast/lunch menu too so will be back.

Great novelty value and very cool decorations and decor. Unfortunately not sure that the food lives up to the vibe the location promises. Not bad but not great!
