Corvette Diner

Corvette Diner is an American restaurant in Liberty Station styled as a 1950s diner experience. The space features period-appropriate decor with vintage car memorabilia, and staff dressed in classic poodle skirts and bouffant hairstyles serve classic diner food like burgers, sandwiches, and milkshakes alongside an arcade section with more than 60 games.

The restaurant first opened in 1987 in the Hillcrest neighborhood before moving to its current location at historic Liberty Station. This relocation established it as a dining landmark in a revitalized area of the city.

Car culture shapes the decor through vintage automotive memorabilia displayed throughout the space, while live DJs play classic rock music. This creates an environment where guests step into a specific era of American entertainment and leisure.

The restaurant operates daily with extended hours on weekends and maintains moderate pricing for meals. A gaming area with arcade machines provides entertainment for guests during their visit.

Staff members fold paper airplanes from straw wrappers and launch them toward diners during meal service. This playful touch creates a surprise moment that many visitors do not expect.
