10/10Probably the best spare ribs I ever tried and definitely are the best in Leiden! My favorite is sweet-spicy. Tapas and the cocktails are also excellent. Very friendly and quick service. We had a super evening with 2 kids

10/10The food was surprising delicious. We have a variety of tapas dishes, and they were all fantastic! We loved the decor and the cool vibe (which is pretty rare in Leiden), a really great place for a date night, for a group of friends and for a family outing. We will definitely be back!

5.5/10Food was average. Drinks had more water than flavour. I will not visit again.

10/10We love America and good American food. This restaurant served us both. The atmosphere breathes America in 2 ways: there is the cosy american cocktail bar vibe in the front and a really old-school diner setting in the back of the restaurant. We've had the Burger and Ribs mix dish, best of both worlds. Both were very much to our taste. Combined with a (small) variety of American IPA beers/brews and of course american desert options. Love it, will be back. Note that real nearby parking will cost you €25 for a day permit. Better park in a nearby parking garage.

8.5/10Very cute restaurant with a real American dining atmosphere. Service was great, choice for food was also excellent. Food was maybe a little bit dry, but was other than that very tasty! Compliments to the owner & the people working there

6/10We chose this restaurant because of their high score (almost 5 out of 5 stars) but were a bit disappointed. There is nothing wrong with the restaurant but I would rate it quite average (and not because I am a snob when it comes to food, haha).

8.5/10Very good price/quality relation. The burgers were delicious and cook perfectly (not overcooked). Service was very attentive and helpful. They also serve kids portions.

8.5/10Great service and good food. They also have very good cocktails, we were a bit unsure in the beginning when we first came in but it was well worth it and i would recommend to anyone. Also staff was very nice we had a reservation at 7 but showed up at 6 by accident and they fitted us in straight away no problem.

3.5/10Cooking is like done from not trained chefs. We can better cook at home. Steaks not cleaned from tendons and no crispy outside. Tacos with molten Dutch cheese instead of a real cheese sauce - all like they want but cannot. The owners should once go to US and see how the dishes are done in real and learn there. We will not come a 2nd time.

About this restaurant
Er is eindelijk een echte Amerikaanse diner, Bel Air Diner. De diner is precies zoals deze hoort in onze Amerikaanse beleving, rood met witte zitbanken en barkrukken en de Amerikaanse idolen op de muur. De sfeer is duidelijk neergezet, maar het belangrijkste is natuurlijk goed eten. Bel Air Diner heeft veel tijd gestoken in het opzetten van de menukaart en hier het beste vlees voor uitgezocht. Zo staan er heerlijke burgers op de kaart van Black Angus, de Wagyu rund en van Iberico. Alle vlees gerechten komen uit de Mibrasa houtskool oven, dus hier kom je voor heerlijke pulled pork, burgers en malse steaks. En om de maaltijd echt Amerikaans te maken, maak je het natuurlijk af met een real American milkshake.
