We got there just past 3pm, ordered drinks and when we got our drinks, were told that the kitchen was closed. This was at about 15:30. Their closing time is 16:00You could taste in the milkshakes that they were making it hastily so that they could go home.Maybe its nicer when you go earlier.

Such a wonderful experience - loved lunch in the vintage cars! The staff are very friendly and the food was amazing!One of my favourite padstal experiences!

Amazing food. Brilliant service. Definitely a must!!

BLIKSEM. What an awesome place to stop for bite. Great food, Value for money and the service was super friendly. Family run place, and the play area looks so cool, I we were kids we would of jammed there.

The service was amazing, the food delicious. Great atmosphere love the fact that you are seated indside the cars!Would highly recommend this place!

An unplanned and enjoyable experience. Baked cheese cake is a must have.. friendly staff

Excellent food, drinks, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Definitely a to go to place for something new and fresh!

Lekker place to stop and enjoy. They have some really unique sitting areas outside, have to go there to see... And the service is great for a small place. Had a snack there so would need to go again for the full menu. Snack definitely made me want to visit for that full menu again.

What a lovely find in Bethlehem!! They offer such a unique and beautiful experience. The food is superb. Its just a must!!

Excellent food and service.

What a gem!!!The owner, family and staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome.The food is amazing.

An absolute must if youre in Bethlehem! Great food, friendly people and the coolest place in town.

Amazing stop with delicious breakfast and cool design. Dog friendly, too! Lovely salmon Rosti dish with perfectly poached eggs. Bernaise a tad bit on the heavier side but very tasty. French toast was excellent and we had it without the honey drizzle so the sweetness came from the berries which if they were sweetened were only lightly so! Perfect for us Bc overly sweet french toast isn’t our favorite. And a neat dish was the Dukkah eggs. The bread at the bottom was full of nuts. And the cherry on top: the lovely chat in Russian with Bukin! The daughter in law:) a touch of Central Asian hospitality in South Africa😍

I have heard a lot about this diner. Today I visited it and at first glance it was almost like I was at a vintage car show. The theme is very appealing and the atmosphere is great, the only let down was the food.I ordered a basket with samosas, spring rolls, wings, ribs and fries and nothing was exceptional. The wings were dry and had minimal flavor. The ribs were okay, but the flavor was just not great.I have spoken to a few people regarding this restaurant and all only had good reviews. I would just not order the basket again as I did not experience any flavor and wings should be juicy, fall-of-the-bone tender and be full of flavor. From word of mouth the other meals are very good.

Great service, great food and love the ambiance.

What an awesome place to chill, have a burger and chips and just a good old chat with friends or family. Highly recommendable

Lovely lovely place.Hidden gem

Absolutely a must. Fantastic staff and superb food. Wonderful to be at a roadhouse after so many years. Do not miss this opportunity.

Amazing place. Delicious food, fantastic service and lots of cool things to look at! Definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic place, the best service in town! Stunning people that serve and assist you.

A lovely place to dine. Beautifully decorated, welcoming and cosy. The staff are friendly, the host is an amazing person. The food is good. The flavoured lattes are the best. I had a rose latte. Will go back again anytime.

A quirky little restaurant with lots of small town charm. The Dukkah Eggs were delicious, the pesto was super yummy. The toasted sandwiches and burger were also nice. The highlight of the meal though was definitely the cake. We tried the triple-threat chocolate, cheesecake and mousse cake which was one of the best cakes I’ve ever tasted. The owner was also lovely and accommodating. Would definitely recommend as a stopover breakfast spot.

Amazing staff. Best milkshakes.

Lovely place, friendly service, nice atmosphere and good food

What a gem! We drove in by accident and so glad we did! Wow! The friendliness of the staff! We had the BEST burgers!!! Such a stunning place

The owner is one of the most welcoming hosts Ive ever encountered.The food was delicious, I can comfortably recommend a stop there!

Amazing experience, outstanding food and personal, brilliant service. We had a lovely time. A must-visit if you are in the area. The berrylicious french toast is divine

Great food and warm atmosphere! Pizzas with self made crispy bases!

Amazing. Although its probably not the best to describe my experience here, it describes it well. The food here is just simply too delicious. The Strawberry and Blueberry milkshakes do die for, they are probably hands down the best Ive ever had to this day. Now the food deserves its own category altogether. The Basket is an extremely creative dish which involves: 3 spring rolls, 3 samosas, chips, 2 pork ribs and 2 buffalo wings, a nice sweet chilli sauce and a secret sauce created by the chef him/herself which is impossible to figure out what its made of. The Nachos too are extremely delicious, they are lightly spiced which adds to the incredible flavour along side the sour cream and guacamole on top of the dish. I must say, that i look forward to coming here again whenever Im in town. Would highly recommend others to come try out eating here.

I enjoyed the environment, the owner very friendly. The carrot was delicious

What a unique place. Super cool

Unique stop over. Must visit

Great food and good service!

Very nice vibe, interior, nostalgic experience..food excellent,friendly management,staff.

What a great place! Service was phenominal.

A pleasant surprise at the outskirts of Bethlehem. A menu that is different from the usual. The food is very good and value for money. A pleasant ambiance with soft melodic background music. No teeny bopping thumping stuff here! The old car theme is creative and works well. Service was friendly and excellent. This restaurant is much better than most in the Eastern Free State! Do not drive past.

Stopped for brunch travelling from Fouriesburg back to Pretoria. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Great food but the service is slow

Good food, friendly service, great place to stop and eat.

Such a cool spot - really fun and the food is great. Wish Id had a milkshake too. They looked amazing

Different eating experience with surprisingly great food at very affordable pricing. Ill make an effort to go there everytime en route to Clarens

Lots of hard work has been put into this diner. People that do this type of work are different and dedicated. The whole family slog at it.. We wish you guys all the best... May your green light always be on.

Great food & Service

Fantastic Food, Fantastic Service! Beautitul decor! What a GEM! 🤩🤩🤩

Great place. Be sure to try the carrot cake

Great breakfast, friendly hosts, and unique dining in classic motorcars

Friendly efficient staff. Nice homemade sauces also available.

Very nice

The friendliest bunch of people south of the vaal!We stayed nearby so had dinner and breakfast. Dinner was the Alfredo which was rich and creamy, breakfast was marrow bones on toast with the biggest marrow bones I have ever seen. Funky car themed which works with the theme well. Definitely worth a visit in Bethlehem

Very good food and kind people.

Love This!!! Will go back again & again

Stunning venue. Love the old time atmosphere with all the old cars and the food and drinks are very well prepared.

What a nice place . Such a nice experience and the owner Paula is a world class person and kind hearted. Eating there is always a first class idea. Can not get better

Fantastic experience!

Love the theme and little nik-nacks found within. Great fridge cheesecake

This is a great idea with the old vintage cars made into table seating. You sit inside the car on the car seats at your table. Really cool! You can order Braai packs and the Diner will ligth your fire and provide salads and extras. Enjoy a nice Braai with the Family.

Absolutely beautiful 😍 and very friendly staff 💛👏👌

Beautiful scenery and friendly staff. Perfect place to escape and shut down with delicious food.

Wonderful, friendly Service and delicious food.

OMW the food and service was awesome thank you!

Excellent.

A place really well worth visiting. Excellent menu and hosts. Unique concept with vintage cars and upbeat milkshakes. Farm stall also not the normal run of mill. We will definitely be back!

Awesome food!

Wow! In awe of the attention to detail. From the plating of our food and unique flavoring of the dishes to the scented hand towels and dried pears given whilst waiting for our food. Truly a gem which you cannot afford to miss out on in Bethlehem.

Wonderful place, good food, friendly staff. An unique experience!

They closed earlier than they said on their website....not cool

Very nice. Limited menu but good. A great addition to Bethlehem. We will be back. Fantastic service.

Can recommend the Roadside Diner for everyone who likes the best food.

What a cute, quaint little place. The cars are bonus, really enjoyed looking at them. Food was really good and can see a lot of care has gone into the food. Yummy too.

What a lovely place!!would definitely recommend!

Great food... Artwork... Exterior design with cars doubling up as tables... For a great meal at a reasonable price.... The Roadside Diner is the place.

Excellent retreat for breakfast or lunch. Super service and personal attention by the owner, Paula and son. Lovely food. A must to experience!

Loved it!

Thank you so much Roadside diner for hosting our baby reveal party.Our loved ones enjoyed it just as much as what we did. Will recommend your restaurant to everyone. Thanks for letting us do it at your place even if you are not open yet to everyone yet.

Still new, busy building. Maybe next time I pass through all will be neat and open. Didnt see the antiques being advertised. ..

Excellent service and food. Friendly staff and owners. If you visit Bethlehem the Roadside Diner will be a good choice

It is very clean and very nice place . The staff is very helpful and very friendly

Friendly efficient staffAmazing food

Unique Nice Place! Food is delicious! Couple of Interesting options on the Menu!

Not so good at all

Great service friendly help

This joke was on us! We were traveling to a well-known farm in the area but was totally mislead by the GPS so we passed this place with all the cars on the walls! What the hell? We just had to investigate and find out for ourselves what was going on! Happy to tell you that we have discovered a well managed roadside restaurant with beautiful people. The menu was exquisite and affordable. We will visit the cars again and order the pap & kaiings again.

Nice help fast

Great super great

Lovely cars and place to eat

Delicious food and great service

Unique concept, interesting menu, delicious food, super friendly service

Very friendly staff👍

Unique and classic. Great coffee!

Something unique and different - very friendly staff

Uniquely and gloriously decorated with cars!Our food was excellent, presented flair and style!Steaks done medium-rare with a perfect crust. Veggies delicious. Potatoe chips: they have perfected the crispy outside and dreamy, creamy inside. (Kaiings and pap may be requested beforehand. Special gravy....)Their expertise does not stop at the main course; desserts seem to be a favourite specialty. Baked cheesecake, done VERY well, is a rarity. Crème Brulee: silky smooth and perfectly baked with a thin, caramelized, sugar cap.....Apparently the Lemon Meringue, both traditional pie and deconstructed version, were worthy of sharing-refusal status!Paula the owner, runs a tight ship, service is snappy and attentive. Paula is also one of those hosts, whom upon meeting, instills the absolute surety that this dining is going to be an EXPERIENCE!Absolutely worth the visit. Again and again.
