Hot Rod Diner

Every year for my birthday Jan. 1st 🎉 my handsome son’s take me out to This year 2024 I chose The Hot Rod Diner in Hilmar 😀 from start to finish it was great 🎉 waitress was awesome the food was really good. We will definitely be back 👍👍

I met someone here at lunch time to discuss a legal matter. I had a soda and a cup of soup while the other person had a cup of coffee. Our waitress was nice, happy, knowledgeable about the foods they serve and very friendly. This place made me feel at home, comfortable, like I had been eating there forever. My soup was really good. I would order it again. The soda and coffee were fine. Parking is very easy to get to from Lander Ave, which is the main road that goes through town. It's very easy to make a right coming out of the parking lot and not difficult to make a left.

The service was great, food was great. I would eat here any time. Thanks for being so friendly

I had a patty melt and both the fried onions and the sourdough bread enveloping all the goodness was done to perfection!! Staff was very polite and professional, overall 5* oh yeah and they do breakfast all day!!! So give them a try, supporting local business strong.

Since we walked in we were greeted very welcoming and with a smile. Our server brought us our drinks and food very rapidly and everything was delicious.

Avocado, bacon, burger was very good. The service was excellent. We live outside of town, but will patronize this establishment. Next time we drive through.

The food is so fresh and amazing. Freshest hamburger that I've had in a long time!!!!

Everyone was so great & friendly.
The food was delicious
Great service

Excellent service, kind staff, and very clean inside. Food was great. Had the Duke of Earl, and a side of biscuits and gravy. Highly reccomend!

What a treat this visit was. Took my 90year old dad and it brought him back to the 50's. Kudos to Alyssa, our waitress, who went above and beyond helping my dad and chatting with us. All while taking care of her other customers. Fodd was more than I could eat, flavor, was great.
Thank you!!

They have really good food this is how restaurant food is supposed to look like

Ahhhmazing!! The tuna melt is the best I've ever had! The fries were hot and delicious with a liberal sprinkling of fresh ground black pepper. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The staff are so nice and friendly. It's really a pleasure to eat there.

Very good place to eat. Great food and excellent service as always. This my favorite place

My wife and I ate lunch here today. It's a good old fashioned American food place. Having said that, I love their French toast and burgers.
Pretty busy at lunchtime. The service was good and helpful and always smiling.
Paige, our server, was the model of patience when dealing with some very picky orders behind us.
Great place to stop by for breakfast or lunch. Check the hours before you go.

Jackie I think her name is.. a.k.a. my future wife. 😘
Short Latina cutie.. is the nicest waitress I've ever had (and I'm not saying this just because she is gorgeous)
Excellent service, fast, friendly.
My new favorite place. Definitely recommend 💯

Very nice old school looking type of Eatery the food is very good I had the club sandwich the Hostess and waitress was very nice passed by this place maybe 200 times in my life never stop there I'm going to make it a point to stop there more often

Great food. Good servers. Wait time was a but longer than expected but i think that is due to the fact they make everything to order .. well worth the wait . I will definitely be back. Next time i will try lunch the breakfast plate was HUGE .

Cool place very friendly people working there very good servers excellent Cooks I noticed when things slow down they kept busy cleaning I noticed there was a jar next to the register for the Cooks and helpers like only about $3 tips we have to tip them a little bit more every $0.50 or $1 adds up at the end of the day I dropped $3 for them and that was already towards the end of the shift I give the one behind the scenes five-star also

This has been a regular stop for my family and me on Sundays after church. The service is always great with friendly and courteous staff. The prices are very reasonable for the large portions they serve. Never disappointed!

Food was great . Hometown touch!! Service was welcoming . Definitely going back for lunch!
