4 Speed on 50’s Diner

The culinary offerings were exceptional, and the service was impeccable. The ambiance was particularly captivating.

Tasty, well prepared diner standards. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but all our food was good and reasonably priced. We did breakfast food, can't speak to lunch or dinner. Server was friendly and dressed in 50s attire which fit the motif well. The atmosphere inside was great. Had a 50s theme that made it fun. If you want some good diner food in unique 50s diner experience, it's worth a stop.

My husband & is stopped in after hearing good things from a friend, & I am so glad we did. You can't miss the shiny silver building as you drive down 50, which also boasts an unattached museum & gift shop. When we walked in it felt like we had been transported back in time to the 50's. The decor is phenomenal & the restaurant was very clean. Our server's name was Leia & I truly can't recommend her enough. This young girl provided some of the best service we have experienced in a restaurant. I'm telling you - she's going places.Now on to the food! Like I said, we ordered light, so my husband & I shared the Speed Deviled Eggs ($10). These are panko-crusted fried deviled eggs lightly peppered with jalapeño + green onion + cherrywood smoked bacon + paprika + micro greens. Oh. My. Goodness. If you get nothing else, get these deviled eggs. Six eggs come in an order & it was the perfect snack for us to share.We also shared a gourmet milkshake called the Marilyn Monroe ($12.99). It is made with vanilla ice cream (though I think we had strawberry) & is topped with a strawberry + strawberry shortcake ice cream bar + strawberry Poptart + whipped cream & the jar was rimmed with strawberry crumble. It was a hard choice between this & the cookie crumble, but I would 100% order this again. The ice cream was thick & creamy & the whole thing was pure bliss.We are already planning our next visit with my family & I can't wait for them to see it! We will definitely be checking out the museum & gift shop for our next visit.

Awesome decor! Roadside diner off of route 50 that's definitely worth the stop. Great service! Very generous portions! Make sure you take time to see the museum & gift shop after you eat. The food was prepared to order, and tasted great!

We like original diners. This looked interesting so we stopped. It had medium good reviews on Yelp. The food was very good. We both had the Indiana pork tenderloin sandwich and it was the best I have had. The crinkle cut fired were great and we shared the fried deviled eggs as an appetizer. The owner was on site and I appreciate that. They were busy and service was good. It is a recreation of a diner. Can't compare to an actual diner.

The first time we came to 4 Speed I was sold. The ambience is amazing. The memorabilia brings all the atmosphere of a classic burger and malt shop diner. The music is perfect. The wait staff is very friendly, attentive, and prompt. On our first visit my wife had the American Graffiti burger and I had the Hoosier Tenderloin. Both were tasty, and fixed to perfection. The tenderloin was golden brown and tender. The crinkle cut fries were golden brown and seasoned just enough to give the fries a "pop" of flavor. We loved that experience. This time, the tenderloin was overcooked and burnt. The fries were too dark and a tasted more like the fryer oil than the nice, seasoned fries we had before. It seems the oil in the frier needed a refresh. The waitress was still great and very attentive. The experience was slightly diminished this time, but I still enjoy this restaurant.

The decor of 4 Speed on 50's Diner is definitely the star. That said, the food was pretty good, too.We arrived on a Friday at 12:30 and the place was hopping! We had to wait for a table and ended up in the corner booth. It was a cool place to sit, but it was a little tight for six with the seventh person using a chair on the end. The place cleared out a bit by the time we left, which was around 2:00 - 2:30. I think if you don't have a big group, you can get a seat without too much of a wait. Our waitress, Missy, was fantastic. She knew about the food, she was relaxed and fun, but not overwhelmingly so. Her service was perfect. I was super glad she took care of us, which was no small feat since there was seven of us.I'll only speak to my food. I ordered the special. Given it was the week before Thanksgiving, the special was a once-a-year option and I needed to try it.The special was a turkey, stuffing, cranberry aioli, arugula and havarti sandwich on Texas toast. It was served with gravy for dipping and came with a side. I opted for broccoli, which seemed like a fitting side for a Thanksgiving meal. It was a LOT of food, but it was good. The aioli was a little off-putting at first, but it soon started to make sense and felt right. Dipping it into the gravy was difficult (until some of the sandwich was gone), but delicious. The broccoli was great. It was generally steamed and had just a touch of butter on it. The broccoli was perfect.Will we return? Probably not, but that's just because between us and the diner there's a 30 minute drive. The food was good, but.. well, you get it. That said, if you live in Lawrenceburg, you should definitely check it out.There is also a gift shop and a car museum somewhere in close proximity. We didn't check them out.

It's a new restaurant, so I forgive things like slow service when they are slammed with customers. It's a fantastic concept, but our experience for breakfast didn't end with us making plans for our next visit.The first thing that jumped out to me was that when we were seated at the counter, there was no room for a server behind the counter. This was not well thought out. When the counter is full, the servers have a hard time taking orders without squeezing between customers or blocking the aisle. Don't think there is any way to fix this now.My wife ordered the build your own omelet, which works great for her food sensitivities. But after ordering no cheese, the omelet came with cheese and had to be sent back. Since we were seated at the counter, the cook told her he was excited and was just in a routine, putting cheese on all the omelets. So the second omelet didn't have cheese, but it was missing the bacon she had ordered. She was happy to have an omelet with no cheese and said the vegetables were very flavorful. She also liked the variety of fruit she received as her side.I ordered the sampler, which is a strange name for a standard breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, meat, and toast. My issues are with the chef's choice to serve only Texas toast and, basically, french fries as a breakfast potato. I don't think of a diner serving fast food. But the potatoes I received could easily have been picked up at a carryout window. It's disappointing at best. Slice some fresh potatoes and onions and cook up some good home fries. Then I'll come back for breakfast. The eggs were very good, but that's not enough. We'll try lunch and see if there is anything unique that is offered. It would be nice to have something different in this unique building.Updated 11/13/23: Finally got back to try lunch. My wife ordered the chicken salad club and I ordered the Peggy Sue melt. My wife really enjoyed the chicken salad club. The Peggy Sue melt was good, but I would order it with just two pieces of bread instead of 3 if I ordered it again. Just too much bread for me. The prices seemed a bit high for lunch, but the amount of food was probably proportionate to price. The sandwiches were on big pieces of toast. We will not be going back for breakfast unless a change in the menu is made, but we will try lunch again.

We've been here a couple of times and my opinion hasn't changed. The decor is perfect for a diner, but the tables are way too close! Add a coat and you are hitting other customers!! Their food is good and the staff tries to come and check on you, but it's chaotic every time. This time I brought my granddaughter and she loved their biscuits and gravy. I had avocado toast that was delicious.

Service was okay. The drinks I got both tasted weird: Water and Starry.My boyfriend's water tasted fine but mine did not.The food is hit or miss. They didn't have meatloaf at the time which is what my bf wanted and my burger didn't have much flavor. The place is cool though decoration wise.
