    Burger with fried pickles

    I had to charge my car and figured might as well check out the famed Tesla diner while I do that. The building was futuristic, reminiscent of something you'd see at Tomorrowland at Disney. Although most of the service was self-service, the workers were very kind. The food was okay, nothing wrong with it, just overpriced for what it was. Definitely a cool spot to check out if you haven't been before

    We stopped by the Tesla Diner and loved the futuristic vibe. The giant TVs were the highlight, especially watching the World Cup from the upstairs seating with free popcorn. The lighted staircase looked awesome, the Optimus robots in the windows were a cool touch, and the Cybertruck to-go boxes made great souvenirs. The milkshake was just okay, and everything felt a bit overpriced for what you get. Still, it's a fun experience and a nice spot to hang out, even for folks in the area who got to enjoy the big screens.

    As a huge Tesla fan, I've wanted to check out this place ever since it opened. I watched plenty of reviews beforehand, so I already knew the food was expensive and kept my expectations realistic. I mainly came for the atmosphere, the experience, and to take some photos. I like that they're open 24/7. I originally wanted to visit during the day, but traffic and a concert made that impossible. We arrived just before 11 pm. after the concert, and the restaurant was almost empty. Since we rented a gas car, we parked on a nearby residential street just one block away, which was easy that late at night. While we were taking pictures outside, someone drove by, rolled down his window, yelled an insult at us, and sped off like a coward. However, it didn't ruin my day. The food is definitely expensive. I ordered the Tesla Giga Burger and fries. They were good, but not worth the price in my opinion. The restaurant itself was very clean and had a sleek, futuristic design. I tried to bus my own table but couldn't find a place to leave my tray, and a staff member told me to just bring it to the counter. We got here too late and they turned off the movie right at 11 pm. The merch sale also ended at 11 pm. I couldn't come all the way here without getting some Tesla Diner exclusive merch. Even though the employee on the second floor looked like she was getting ready to go home, she still helped me purchase some merch and even gave us the remaining popcorn from the machine. Overall, I enjoyed the experience more than the food. I'd definitely come back during the day if I'm ever in the area again, and I hope they open more locations around the country.

    The drive down to Tesla Diner itself was cool. I mean it's Hollywood! The entrance to the diner was a bit confusing tho. We ended up getting navigation to the West side which is the Tesla charger parking but the real entrance to the diner is in the East side which is the opposite. Once we figured that part out it was easy We found the diner soon as we found an open Tesla charger. Looking up there's a huge tv screen playing the launching of SpaceX which my husband wanted to see. It was the countdown and really cool to watch Also what's really cool is that if you're driving a Tesla or Cybertruck, you can preorder thru the menu from your car and you'll get notified when they're going to start making your orders. The downfall of this is that there's no confirmation numbers. Just your name, so when we entered the Diners it looked nearly empty except for a few staffs. The cashier asked us if he can take our orders. My husband replied we already ordered. The staff looked confused until my husband explained that we ordered online. Then the cashier asked for his name and found the orders. We were then told to wait around the corner for our food. Once our food arrived we made our way upstairs with our dog, Peanut. Did I mention they're dog friendly? They did not have any water fountain or treats for dogs but I saw several people with their pooch. Luckily we brought our own water container for our Peanut. I was expecting to get greeted or get our food or at least popcorn being served by the AI robot but instead it was off and on display behind a glass. How disappointing. I saw 2 of these robots. There were stairs up to the second level but we took the elevator. We then found a table and it was like a picnic bench with umbrellas. I used the restroom which was very modern and clean. Thanks for that! Ok you're wondering when am I going to get to the food part right? Well I saved that for last being that the food was mediocre for the high price we paid. It was a $13.50 single patty burger without fries and a $9 hard and dry grilled cheese sandwich. The cheese was lukewarm and turned solid by the time we got it. Nonetheless it was cool to check this place out at least once. I recommend it but I would not order food from here in the future. Perhaps if they had Cobb salad or chef salad, chicken fingers or crispy fried wings with fries for about $15 then yes. Oh we also bought a black bandana with a Tesla dog mode logo on it for Peanut and put it on him right away. Someone stopped us and ask for Peanut's photo wearing the bandana hehee... Our mutt might become a star? Idk but one can only hope lol

    Came here on a Tuesday evening, not crowded at all. You can only park there if you are charging your vehicle (doesn't have to be Tesla). $0.5 per kWh and 30 min grace period before idle fee applies. There are security guards at the parking lot. The building itself is cool, the interior is very futuristic. The food & drink are not bad, but some items are a bit pricy in my opinion. $14.5 for a milk shake. About $17 for a fried chicken sandwich that does not come with fries/drink. Upside is they give you free popcorn on the rooftop and free short movies (about 11min-25min). They also sell Tesla merchandises. $65 for salt & pepper shakers, $50 for a robot figure, $35 for a t-shirt, gummy candies, $175 for a levitating cyber truck desk decor.

    Hubby wanted to check out this dinner since it first opened but we wanted to wait until the hype died down to check it out. Upon arriving, we had NO idea the location is kind of random for this diner. If you were not looking for it, you would not even know its the Tesla diner. There were ample supercharging stations around the diner and huge TVs above playing black and white films. We charged our car and checked out the diner. The diner felt very futuristic. Very sleek and modern design. The menu was filled with typical diner food such as burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. We didn't order anything because it was too pricey. We also checked out the second floor rooftop which was nice and airy. You can enjoy some air, see your car charge, and watch the movie on the big screen. Overall interesting concept, but not really a spot I see spending that much time at. It's definitely more of a pistop than a destination. Fun to experience though!

    I love stopping at the Tesla Diner when driving through town. Love the futuristic design both inside and out. Really cool Cybertruck design details inside along with Optimus versions. You can't miss it when driving by. There are a ton of supercharging spots, never had a problem getting one and never had a malfunctioning one. The inside of the diner is spacious and plenty of sitting. You can also buy exclusive merch near the entrance which I definitely took advantage of. The food is very tasty and I can tell the quality of the ingredients. The burgers are my favorite in combination with the chocolate shake. One of the top 3 milkshakes I've had. Employees have all been great in my experiences and they do a good job keeping the place clean. There's also security outside which is nice if you're here at night since it is open 24/7. All in all, a great place to visit!

    So this is a cool retro futuristic diner concept that unfortunately did not catch on more broadly but it's still a neat pilgrimage to make if you have a Tesla! Plus, it is a cool place to catch a charge as they have a big screen, showing things like Star Trek and other cool movies The food is decent enough, and though it is a bit on the expensive side, that's not really the main reason why I came here anyway. The people that work there are cool and service was decent. Overall, it was a pretty cool novelty and I'll come back again if I'm in the area.

    Falcon wing fried chicken sandwich
    Jennifer N.

    FOOD - Tesla Giga Burger: the patty was juicy and flavorful. 4/5 - Falcon Wing Fried Chicken Sandwich: the chicken was fried perfectly. The sauce was good. 4/5 SERVICE: You can order from your car. You have the option of having the food delivered to your car. I was told the robots serve and make the food but this is not true. The robots are displayed in cases. FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. The food was pretty good. The burgers come in a cybertruck box which I thought was so cute! There's 2 huge screens to watch a movie while you dine and/or charge.

    We came here on a Saturday afternoon and honestly thought it was a pretty cool spot overall. It actually wasn't too crowded when we went, which made the experience more enjoyable. We ordered a chicken salad, a burger, and chicken strips. I personally had the salad and really enjoyed it. Didn't try the other food, but everyone seemed happy with what they ordered. The food came out in these cool cyber truck containers which was fun and added a little extra pizzazz to the experience. The vibe here is definitely unique and worth checking out at least once. We went upstairs and explored a bit, and I could definitely see this being a fun place to come back to for a movie night or just to hang out while charging. Speaking of charging, I loved seeing all the Tesla chargers set up here. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the free popcorn. It honestly tasted kind of stale/gross, so I'd skip that next time. Other than that, I thought the concept was fun, the atmosphere was nice, and overall it was a good experience.

    Had the double Giga Burger with the Wagyu chili cheese fries on the side. The burger was solid. Two juicy patties, good flavor, and stacked without feeling sloppy. It definitely leans into that classic diner style but with a more upgraded feel. Filling without being overdone. The Wagyu chili cheese fries were probably my favorite part. Crispy fries loaded with rich chili and plenty of cheese, and the Wagyu added a nice extra depth of flavor. Definitely something you need forks for. The whole place has a modern retro diner vibe that makes it stand out from a normal burger spot. Futuristic looking as well. Clean setup, fun atmosphere, and the staff kept things moving even when it was busy. Overall, a cool experience and better food than I expected. Worth checking out at least once.

    Was pleasantly surprised with my experience here! Came at 6:30pm on a Sunday evening. Parking lot is for EV only, but there are a ton of street parking right next to the lot entrance, found a spot asap. It was surprisingly very low crowd, it felt like a weekday. We explored a bit, and hung out on the rooftop where movies are played on the big screens. Plenty of seating, staff is constantly available and ready to help/clean. For food, we got a spicy chicken sandwich, fries, + drink/souvenir cup for $28. It was honestly REALLY good! I was tempted to get the Tesla box for $4, but the sandwich already comes in one! We spent a nice hour here and it was a fantastic time.

    My favorite part was watching The Jetson while I ate my food on the rooftop. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and cheese fries. The customer service was good and everyone was helpful. I love the ambiance is very futuristic and modern (less is more). The Tesla boxes for food are soooo cute Would I come again, maybe but I'm not pressed or rushing.

    Trying to avoid that long line, is it packed around 10am on a Tuesday? EDIT: sorry I should have mentioned the diner not for parking. Currently I don't have a Tesla and I want to take my little one inside to eat and see the futuristic diner.

    No, easy parking if driving a Tesla

    Whats better burger with bun or without?

    Get one of each 😉

    Can you visiting the diner if you don't own an electric car?

    Absolutely.

    Are non-Tesla cars with the Tesla membership allowed to charge here? (Mustang MachE specifically)

    Yes, I own a Mach-E and we stopped here to charge and grab a bite to eat.

    Do they have vegan options?

The restaurant had a constant buzz from how busy it was, making it feel like a popular local spot. While it could get a little loud during peak hours, the vibrant environment added to the overall experience and made it feel like a place people genuinely enjoy visiting. The service, however, was the biggest downside of our visit. While the restaurant was busy, the staff didn't seem very attentive or welcoming. It took a while to get checked on, and it often felt like we had to flag someone down when we needed something. The overall service felt rushed and a bit unorganized, which didn't match the quality of the food. Overall, I'd still recommend The Griddle Cafe because the food was outstanding and easily deserves a 5/5. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and if the service becomes more consistent, this would easily be one of my favorite brunch spots.
