The burger was well cooked (you have your choice of well done, medium or "bleeding") and had a nice flavor. The fries were excellent -- hot and crispy with just the right amount of salt. They had several soda and water options as well as a couple choices of beers. Open til 10:30, which was our primary reason for trying this place out. But we were pleased we did.

There is also an Hawaiian bar on premises which is open in the evenings. Great atmosphere, juke box classics and friendly service. The menu was classic diner style with burgers, hot dogs, nachos, milkshakes and a few other bits and pieces. I loved the poutine which was probably the only non American thing on the menu ;-) Fresh cut fries topped with gravy and cottage cheese and here it also included some mozzarella balls. The Mexican burger was excellent and the burger cooked to perfection (medium rare). If you don't like thus ask the waitress to ensure your burger is cooked right through. For me a good burger should be served medium rare. The banana milkshake was fantastic and a meal on its own :-) All in all a great experience and would happily repeat again.

I'm very happy that we FINALLY have a diner in Geneva!!!…read more This place hasn't done much advertisement yet as it has opened mid September 2013 (less than a month ago). We passed in front and that's how we discovered this place. As mentioned in reviews before, the diner is part of a well known American and British market in town that exists for years and years. Decoration: The deco is AMAZING and much better than most of the diners in the US. It does remind a lot like diners from the Hollywood movies and it gives a pleasant feeling that you are part of something great! I can only give ALL the stars to the decoration and the fact that they made an amazing place in a short space and there's even one table for 9 people that is very comfortable. Service: Service is really great! A blond lady and an older guy were TOP, also another young guy who didn't seem to speak French! They were really running everywhere and helping and talking to everyone, even if it was quite chaotic and hard to control the people queuing. I've realized that in Switzerland people are less used to queue, in the US we saw many restaurants where people just queue and wait calmly, which was not in the case while I was at the American Dream Diner and people were quite agitated. They maybe need to create a hostess system where they take note of the name of the people queuing and who's first. People were lost but it seems it's just not part of the local culture to queue for a restaurant. Food: OKAY, this is the reason why I give 4 starts. Food wasn't great. I had many better burgers before, not only in the US but also in Geneva. Burgers are HUGE, this can be a good point for the ones with big appetite, however, they are not tasty. Meat is blend, sauce is not special at all, bread is not as fresh as it could be. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. Although, the fries with cheddar were actually pretty amazing. We also tried the coleslaw as everyone was having a free sample when they arrive at the diner (which we though it was very kind of them and everyone appreciated) and the coleslaw was really good too, quite healthy and without much sauce and without being so sweet as many others, but it was DAMN GOOD! They also give us nice candies with the bill and it was sweet and yummy =) Overall, the experience was good and we can't wait to go back to try the hotdogs and milkshakes as the place is pretty awesome! If the burgers were amazing, we would never leave this place. If we could get the burger from INGLEWOOD or BLAQK and have the place of American Dream Diner, it would be a great combination... but guess we can't have it all! I would also love if they had American breakfast (at least on week-ends), that would be FREEEEAKING AWESOME and there're not many other places in town to compare the quality either haha... not like burgers where Geneva has some pretty decent places already.

Everything that came out of the kitchen looked just like the pics online. Service was great, ambiance was cozy, views were spectacular.
