Misty's 1950's Diner, Prahran

I have to say after reading all the glowing reviews on WOWMOW, I couldn't wait to try Misty's. I read the menu online and it sounded great-I have been to the USA and it seemed authentic. It started well. The diner certainly has a lot of character, and you feel as if you are genuinely in the States. The service is also friendly and staff seems very eager to please. Unfortunately what let the experience down was the food. This may also be authentically American, as American food has a reputation more for quantity than quality. The french fries were great, but the burgers were disappointing. I felt that the quality of the roll, meat and fillings was similar to what I would expect at fast food restaurant (where you are paying $3-$4 for a burger)-not that of a cafe where you are paying $12 for a burger. In my opinion, gourmet burger places such as Grill'd do a better quality burger for a similar price. Of course, the other dishes on the menu may be much better, but I can't say that I'm in a hurry to go back and try them!

I love misty's! Absolutely amazing food and so much to choose from. As a homesick American I love buying the drinks like Canada dry and getting the Whatchamacallits. Yum! The moz cheese sticks with ranch dressing are to die for, and the thick shakes are awesome. I usually try to leave a small amount of american money as a tip when I go since the food and service are always awesome!

Very friendly staff. Misty herself was even there to greet us and make us feel welcome. The diner felt like a little community.

I've never eaten in America, but this was a great experience.

Plus they had all the Seinfeld classics: Junior Mints, 3 musketeers etc...

was wonderful misty is great and the kids loved the food as well as my hubby and i and i am pregnant and the food went down well, i love anything american and love there food, i would definately fo there again we are from greenvale near tullamarine and it was worth the drive down there and the staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was cooked just right and the price was also very reasonable

A friend raved to me about Misty's and it was everything I expected! The curly fries were crispy and the thickshakes were like a meal on their own! Definitely heading back next time I'm in Melbourne.

It was great to enjoy good old fashioned American food, everything on the menu sounds amazing, can't wait to go back, The burger was flavorsome and such a big helping that i didn't even need sides.

Misty is so friendly! I went with my American Friends and It was the best food! My cholesterol went up but it was SO worth it! I will be going again for sure... Make sure you check out the Lollies and Drinks from the states!! YUMMY

I love this place - and free shakes for the birthday-boy is a great touch!!

Misty and her staff always make us feel welcome. The place is always clean and the food is consistantly fab!!

I have only had takeaway from here but I must admit, I was impressed with the concept and menu. I had chilli and chips and it was a decent sized portion for the price and the chilli was really good, a little spicy which was prefect for me. The chips were fresh and piping hot!

From the moment we walked in until we were finished our dining the whole experience was awesome and would recommend it to everyone.Misty was most welcoming and the food was very tasty and very generous servings. Loved the thickshakes, a must have whenever you visit.
