Was Romina Barbulescu at Busters Diner a mag?
Friendly staff and clean surroundings. American feel interior. Didn't order anything special, fish and chips, which was ok. Nothing special but was still filling. Had the steak and ale pie in the past which was very good. It's very kid oriented, so choose your time accordingly. View all feedback.

What Callum Price dislikes about Busters Diner:
The food was OK. The breaded shrimps came with a out-of-the-bottle sweet-hot sauce. The double cheese burger with fries and some garnish tasted fine but not exceptional. The biggest problem was the wait. It took 15 minutes to place an order, another 10 to get something to drink and after about an hour I finally got the seven fried shrimps. View all feedback.

Buster's diner used to be good, but unfortunately it's very different now. When I was a teenager, Busters always made great food, which seemed fresh. Nowadays...

This diner is not what he used to be; a real fifty-style American diner. It has been tortured quite a bit in recent years, but the menu is still the same....

In my honest opinion, this place is highly underrated. The food is quite decent, and the atmosphere is lovely. We started with the mozzarella sticks, which were great, especially paired with their delicious garlic mayo. For our main courses, we had the double cheeseburger and a pizza topped with cheese and sweet potatoes, both of which were really good. For dessert, we indulged in the chocolate forge, which was absolutely delicious. I also ordered two beers from the Orkney Brewery and a whisky. Our total bill came to £40, which I think is an exceptionally fair price for all that delicious food.

It has the classic American style diner kinda food as you would expect. For burgers you get one free topping then pay extra for more, which is interesting. I think onion shouldn’t be extra, but the burger is a decent price so worth adding it to. The cheese on the burger was grated and minimal, so if you’re a lover of dairy maybe get two toppings of cheese. The essence around the burger is the cheese, onion and tomato for myself so I wouldn’t be ordering that again. The chips were really good.
