Crispy chicken pieces over salad at Diner 66 in Christchurch

Diner 66 turns its Victoria Street dining room into a playful version of the classic American diner. It opens from breakfast through the evening from Tuesday to Sunday, so the same booths can host an early plate of eggs, a burger lunch or dessert after dinner. Reservations and walk-ins are both part of the service, with separate arrangements for bigger parties. The broad menu and nostalgic drinks give families and mixed-age groups plenty to explore without confining the experience to one time of day.

Breakfast ranges from direct and savoury to unapologetically sweet. The big breakfast combines eggs with bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms, hash brown and toast, while a breakfast burger and bacon-avocado burrito offer handheld alternatives. Benedicts come with bacon, smoked salmon or buttermilk fried chicken and slaw. Pancakes, waffles and French toast can be stacked with bacon or chicken, or with banana, berry compote, cream and sauces. Filled omelettes and a hash stack round out the morning choice.

The all-day food keeps the Route 66 theme moving. Fried pickles, jalapeño poppers, buttermilk chicken, mac and cheese and wings can be ordered as small tasters or combined in a pile-up. Tex-Mex fillings go over nachos, fries or into quesadillas. Burgers range from smashed beef with candied bacon to fried chicken or a hash-brown-and-egg combination, while Philly cheesesteak, club sandwiches, sticky barbecue pork ribs, hot dogs and substantial salads give the menu several other directions.

Sweet food and drinks are as central as the burgers. Sundaes, banana split, warm chocolate brownie and freshly baked pizookies can finish a meal, while the milkshake list runs from chocolate and strawberry to Biscoff, s'mores, peanut butter and banana, or a doughnut-waffle-topped special. Root beer, cream soda and floats strengthen the American theme, and boozy shakes and cocktails serve adults. Children's dishes, dairy-free shakes and vegan or gluten-free adaptations make the diner easier for a varied group to navigate.
