    '50s style diner. It's all excellent comfort food. The milkshakes have chunks of goody goody stuff (chocolate, banana, etc. depending on the flavor). They've got fried chicken and mashed potatoes and assorted soft drinks including two flavors of glorious root beer which is a hard to find in Panama.

    Amazing and beautiful diner! They had massive portions great for larger families, and even if you are eating alone the food can be packed up to go. I wish i had a larger stomach so i could just keep on eating the amazing food! The milkshakes were thick and creamy, and they had so many flavors! They have great music, and even if you are not a fan of the aesthetic they still have the best food in Panama.

    Definitely enjoyed Panama’s 50’s style diner. The ambience was a good throwback especially with the 1980’s music videos being played on all the TV’s. The menu is diverse and filled with many ice cream shakes and floats. The breakfast was really good. Definitely visit and enjoy the food while singing a lot to 80’s music.

    (Translated by Google) Super happy atmosphere, when I go I ask for the children's menu, which has an adult portion, because it is to much for me and we must leave room for the symbolic smoothie, delicious food, good service, excellent to spend with the family, at the end They offer a souvenir for $ 4 dollars that are toy carts, a nice option if you go with children. Slightly high prices but worth it. (Original) Ambiente super alegre, cuando voy pido el menu de niños, que tiene una porcion de adulto, por que es to much para mi y hay que dejar espacio para el simbolico batido, rica comida, buena atención, excelente para pasarlo en familia, al final ofrecen un recuerdo por $4 dolares que son carritos de juguetes, una linda opcion si vas con niños. Un poco elevados los precios pero vale la pena.

    I love this place. American Diner with Amazing music. All day breakfast is great. Big Poppa is my fave & buffalo chicken fingers. Be prepared to pay American prices, but totally worth it!

  • 5/5 Stefan A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Magnificent food. Quantity vs. price is well worth it. The retro concept is everything. I loved the The Jaws burger. Retro music vibes. Good to spend with family, friends or for celebrations such as birthdays. (Original) Magnífica comida. Cantidad vs precio vale mucho la pena. El concepto retro lo es todo.

    I really love the retro aesthetics. The waitress are super kind and very clean neat the place is. also of course the food is delicious, the milkshakes taste damn good well price its kinda expensive but its razonable. If u want to take photos with this aesthetics. And go back in time, american food. This is the right place💯

  • 5/5 Janos F. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Agustín R. 6 years ago on Google
    By far the best restaurant experience that I’ve had in Panama! First time my wife and I went. Great customer service, excellent food, milkshakes, and atmosphere. Menu might be pricey, but was worth it. 100% recommended.

  • 5/5 Victor V. 4 years ago on Google
    Place has a great ambientation to the roaring 1950s great food and even greater portions at a great price, waitress are as well dressed 50s style Not gonna lie, for the person who is not familiar withthe city could be confusing, but is a great place, fully recommended

  • 5/5 Kyle F. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic service. Very pleased with my visit in all aspects. Great food, cute place, very clean. Everyone is so attentive. Prices are a little on the high side, in my opinion, but was worth the portion sizes and quality Recommend and would revisit!

  • 5/5 John D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic breakfast. The owners have obviously expended a significant amount of time, money and effort to create this facsimile of the stereotypical American Diner as seen in the movies. The decor is fantastic, and the food is great. All round a very cool experience

  • 5/5 Bruna Vieitez S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very delicious, the service was a bit slow but overall a great experience and will definitely be coming back for those fried chicken & waffles 🙌🏻

  • 5/5 John-Mark C. 1 year ago on Google
    The. I’ve was better than some 60’70’ dinners in the USA. Food was top notch and fast service.

  • 3/5 Yuri 1 year ago on Google
    Good service, huge portions, interesting design, but food is just ok... Burger's patty is not grilled but kinda steamed or oven baked, so burgers are missing this nice grilled flavour. On the other hand fries had so much fat... The milkshake was good but had some ice chunks. Probably a good option for a family with kids, but not for burger's lovers.

  • 5/5 Wael El Z. 8 months ago on Google
    Roadster's Dinner is a great option for authentic American food in Panama City. The restaurant has a wide variety of dishes, all of which are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. They have numerous amount of Halal dishes in the menu. I ordered the Papas A La Bolognesa (Bolognese Fries) as appetizers, and it was super tasty. I also had the Buffalo Burger, which was very juicy and flavorful. All plates are generous and big. The prices are very good for the quality and amount. Recommended 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Ed H. 8 months ago on Google
    A bit of the American past in Panamá City. Food is inexpensive and the portions plentiful.

  • 5/5 Ornina S. 7 months ago on Google
    You don’t want to miss out on this place’s pancakes. I’ve been in more than 20 countries. Hundreds of breakfast places and I’ve never had anything like these pancakes. Great place. Clean and the food is very good. But the pancakes are dreamy 😍.

    I'll tell you something, this place has gone down the pan. Before the Menu was Spectacular. You could get things you could get nowhere else in a themed restaurant in Panama. Theirs Meatloaf was Awesome for example now it's just regular burgers and regular chicken fingers with either fries or onion rings before there was several types of potatoes to chose from. The atmosphere that's gone done hill too. All you get now is a YouTube playlist. The girls too ain't into it. Before the waitress were really into the American Diner theme. I went there the day it opened and went back often, it was excellent. There was a Car s and Coffee held once a week and you couldn't wait as the Diner was a must stop. That was before Pandemia. I went there this year and it was unbelievably lame. 2 Dimensional. A faximily of what it used to be. I invited someone from America who had been here since 2019 and never been to the Roadster and I could tell he was immediately thinking when we saw the new reduced menu was what was the big deal I had made about the place before.

    On a scale of BAD, OK, GOOD, GREAT....I would give the food an OK. If you are tired of McDonalds, then come here....but expect to pay much more. A hamburger and fries are $15.95. I had a salad....that was wilted and NOT very good at $11.95. I’m trying to give them an OK but I will not be back. The staff were nice. Atmosphere is good. Their milkshakes and ice cream are probably great. The food is not.

    Love this place! Best milkshakes in Panama. The arequipe one is my favorite. They also have breakfast all day and the music there is great. I really recommend trying the chicken, it is amazing! If you want something different you can get a bacon milkshake.
