Jukebox Diner

Jukebox Diner is the 1950s diner on the Classics Museum site at Railside Place, Hamilton, and you do not need a museum ticket to eat there; if you have one, meals are 10 percent off. The entrance is a 13 metre Wurlitzer jukebox, and inside it is booths on checkered floors, murals of Elvis and ABBA, a Mater mural from the Cars film, neon Coca Cola signs, vinyl on the walls and a jukebox playing the era.

The menu is diner food with car names on the burgers, the Mustang Burger among them, plus salads, waffle stacks, baked goods, sundaes and the milkshakes the place is known for. A fenced kids area with vintage ride on animals and a gumball machine keeps young children busy, with a kids menu to match.

It runs as a stop paired with the museum rather than a destination on its own: open seven days from 8am to 3pm, so it works for breakfast before the cars or lunch after, and the room is hired for birthdays, corporate events and wedding receptions.

Book a table online or walk in, order at the counter, and settle into a booth.
