Together forever, there go our hearts when we step into Roadster Diner!
By now, I don't think any teenager hasn't ever stepped into Roadster's. It's truly a place for all: friends and family. With its vintage style, you'll be back in the 50's as you fill up your stomach with some good food!
Even a great place like Rd has its drawbacks: the slow service, the abundant electrically heated food and the over-pricing. Nonetheless, we can't not dine in every now and then!
We could say we've probably tried 3/4 of Roadster's menu; from appetizers, to pastas, to subs and cold cuts, burgers, platters, desserts and even the Low-Cal Menu!
Here are the dishes we loved most:
 |
| Buffalo Wings - 13,750 LBP |
For a restaurant that isn't utterly specialized in wings, Rd's wings happen to be one of our favorite! Tossed lightly in batter, you can choose to dip your wings in either BBQ or Buffalo sauce. Either way, you're going to get juicy irresistible wings!

| Chicken Caesar - 15,750 LBP |
Just how a Caesar salad should be! Crunchy Romaine lettuce, crispy croutons and a light Caesar dressing that has the perfect acidity to it in addition to a lovely char-grilled chicken breast that lies on top and shredded Parmesan. Tons of it.

| Frankfurter - 12,750 LBP |
However, we once ordered it and the frankfurter was under-cooked which made our meal very unpleasant.

| Grilled Chicken - 23,250 LBP |
2 char-grilled chicken breasts, served with your choice of
mashed potatoes, skin-on fries or four cheese pasta and a side salad.
The chicken is always cooked to perfection, still juicy, and
brushed with a delicious refreshing dressing. The pasta and mashed potatoes add
creaminess to the dish whilst the fries add crunchiness, both delicious with it
since the cold factor is provided by the side green salad.

| Light Grilled Chicken - 23,250 LBP |
On a diet? No problem. Roadster offers a variety of light
dishes, including the light grilled chicken. Two juicy flavored char-grilled chicken breasts served with grilled
fresh mushrooms, steamed broccoli, carrots and corn on the cob. That’ll make anyone go light.

| Cheese At Heart - 18,250 LBP |
Roadster's special patty stuffed with Swiss cheese and topped with
Cheddar cheese, lettuce, crispy chips sprinkles with Roadster's Classic sauce.
Roadster has got all of us cheese lovers covered. A juicy
patty stuffed and topped with melted cheese, to die for! This one is not to be
missed.
Though an Angus beef patty would've took it to a whole other level, don't you think?

The Angus Burgers:
 |
| The Black Burger - 25,500 LBP |
The black-bun concept isn't something new to the culinary world. However, to bring up a burger like this is definitely a challenge; for since it's not a new concept it would be judged harshly if not perfected.
The Black Burger consists of an Angus patty, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, pickles, onions and Philly steak sauce with a side of potato dippers. The meat was juicy and the sauce was pretty light, though it
was a bit overloaded with it. The vegetables added freshness to
the burger.
As for the potato dippers, people that are not fans of cheese will not find them very pleasant.
In all, the burger was okay, and Roadster Diner did a good job with
the challenge, but we feel it is overrated. The burger did not offer anything
new except for the color of its bun.

| Old School - 23,250 |
A 160 grams Angus prime beef patty with melted Cheddar cheese, iceberg
lettuce, fresh tomato, dill pickles and Roadster's cocktail sauce.
A good old classic burger for a good cause. This burger has all
the usual flavors of a hearty burger and makes you feel good about yourself
since for every Old School burger ordered, 1000 LBP is donated to the Heartbeat
association. Get your charity mood on with this burger!

| Cheese'N'Cheese - 24,750 LBP |
A 160 grams Angus prime beef patty, melted
Cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese, iceberg lettuce, sautéed fresh mushrooms,
Philly steak sauce and mayonnaise
If you’re a cheese lover, then this is your burger. It has
unconventional flavors that make it that much more delicious. We recommend
you add some bacon strips to it for an extra crunch.

| Route 66 - 24,750 LBP |
And of course, don't forget the bacon! Probably our favorite burger among all of Roadster's Angus burgers. A 160 grams Angus prime beef
patty with melted Cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, fresh tomato, red onion, Route 66 sauce and dill pickles. A classic burger that everyone would love to have!

| BBQ BACON'IN - 22,500 LBP |
A 160 grams Angus prime beef patty with melted Cheddar cheese, iceberg
lettuce, grilled onion and tomato, BBB sauce and mayonnaise.
The lovely twist in this burger is the bacon infused patty.
It offers an extra kick of flavor that we just couldn’t refuse.
Just as a note, not all branches offer beef bacon. So don't deprive yourself from ordering this juicy burger if beef bacon is available.

| California Dream - 23,750 LBP |
Truly a dream! A 160 grams Angus prime beef patty with melted Cheddar cheese, iceberg
lettuce, fresh tomato, guacamole, California sauce, pickles and flour tortilla
chips.
This burger is all about the light Mexican flavors. The
different textures offer a warm delicious feeling in your mouth. Add a Sombrero
and a Marguerita, and you’re good to go!

| Chili Mariachi - 23,750 LBP |
After eating this Mexican-inspired burger, your taste buds are off to a Mariachi fest.
A 160 grams Angus prime beef
patty with melted Cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, fresh tomato, jalapenos and
special chili sauce.
The jalapenos and chili sauce aren't overpowering which helps the burger settle on a good balance of flavors.
Let the fest begin!
