   Had a lovely time at Karen's. Service was absolutely hilarious, loved all the mic moments from the waiters! However the wait-time on food was fairly long and we didn't enjoy the beef brisket.

   A drinks order was missed and we waited too long for food. Beef brisket was tough.

   Obviously within theme the service was terrible, but its the reason we came, Unfortunately the burger meat was just a huge lump of fat and gristle Obviously not game to complain but I left it in plain sight that it was inedible but no one questioned it but atmosphere was great.

   The food isn’t anything amazing (burgers are a bit dry). The staff and experience though is fantastic! My family (wife, two girls and myself) loved it - couldn’t stop laughing. The waitstaff certainly hold character!

   Fun night out - went too quickly - we were in and out in 40 minutes. Staff were on point. One recommendation is to give us ideas of what we could hackle, how the customer should be. So many rules that it was difficult to think about what to do. Also more full audience participation would be fun. And finally, when I booked I said it was my daughter's birthday - and we repeated it when we were seated. But the staff did nothing. Would have been nice for them to have made fun of her or something.

   Really fun and the staff are great (or awful depending on how you view it!). The food was disappointing - super dry burgers which nobody loved. Maybe the chef was having an off night.

    It was a fun experience, however when I asked for a drink, after 15 mins it didn't arrive by which time we had finished our meal, we found out when we went to pay the server forgot to add the drink !

    Fun experience for our teens. Food wasn’t as bad as we were expecting for a gimmick restaurant. Our waiter didn’t put the much effort into being a jerk. Just rolled eyes, but the other staff made up for it. Perhaps too much , when singing happy birthday to our 14 year old - um, wishing it’s his last birthday was a tad too far.

    Food was good, staff were fun & price was reasonable. Just disappointed at the end when we went up to the staff members 3 times to ask for the desert menus and they joked and we never got them. We were told we didn’t have time to get dessert as they needed the table for the next customers. It was a real shame as we went there for my Son’s Birthday and we wanted the churros but had to get it take away. Overall a good experience apart from the end.

    We were seated in the front of the restaurant which made us feel excluded from the main section, we didn’t get the full experience we hoped for. The music was also very loud and we could not hear anything even when asking seriously if they could turn it down they were obviously doing there job but didn’t take us seriously at all. Apart from that everything was amazing the food was absolutely 100%

    Entertaining yes, but got annoying. Just wanted to eat after the novelty of the harassment wore off. Food serving sizes were generous. Drinks expensive.

    It took 45 minutes just too get served and that’s not me being dramatic. Had 8 o’clock booking and we didn’t get served till 8:45.

    Our server Adele was amazing(-ly rude) haha. Karens diner is a fun place to have dinner, with great food and be a little uncomfortable. Super fun and different dining experience. Adele was awesome, she played her role super well, but still made sure we were looked after and had fun :)
