Know a place?

We're genetically programmed to avoid places with bad water. So I dig up the dirt on the best and worst coffee around Cape Town and South Africa.
Been somewhere good? Got a new menu? Find DR on Facebook, leave a comment, and I'll don my hat and investigate.

Rockstar Diner Table View *

"We don't do coffee."

This is a first in 15 years of diner crawling. Definitely a Hall of Fame entry.

They do have bonsai coke, must be an artisanal thing. Prince sized drinks win no awards.

Decor: Very nice Queen sized booths! and some communal plastic braai furniture. More Kurt Darren than Deep Purple. There is a bar which offers Fire on The Water.

Menu: Flavorless Pulled pork variations, uncrispy tacos, burgers, and pizza. Aspiring Tex Mex.

Atmosphere: This falls like a Led Zeppelin. Awful Techno dance party. Anything playing but rock. Waiters yelling at people on the phone or to each other. Despite being the only customer (can't imagine why) I was lowest on the list of priorities.

I can't get no satisfaction.

Update: Rockstar Diner died at 27 weeks. Probably suicide. This could have been a hit had they just lived up to their name.
