Misty's Diner, Prahran by Rockstar

When the Eat and Be Merry Crew were offered the opportunity to try some new dishes at Misty's Diner I jumped at the chance. I shop at Prahran market regularly and have walked or driven past so many times but in all that time never ventured in.


Our thick shakes served by our friendly waitress!

It's a hot pink retro vibe inside with vinyl records and US number plates decorating the walls, and jukeboxes at all the tables!


We got to sample some US soft drinks - I'm a picky pop drinker so I preferred the funky designs though the effervescent big red was a bubbly way to get a sugar high!


The mac and cheese balls were a good way to warm up after coming in from the killer Melbourne winter weather.


BBQ ribs


Blooming onion

The ribs were lovely, tender and tasty with the barbecue sauce a perfect complement. They were worth the sticky fingers! I'm not an onion fan, but my Diner date, the Queenslander enjoyed the blooming onion and onion rings.


Trailer park trash


Pig out platter

The Trailer Park Trash, buttermilk crumbed fried chicken, mashed potatoes, white gravy, garlic bread and a side of salad is a big meal! That mash is beautifully buttery and more-ish. The chicken was good but I LOVED the chicken bites in the pig out platter - crispy outside, juicy and yum inside. My idea of perfect fried chicken.


I'd definitely go back for the buffalo chicken salad - and I'd be subbing for chicken bites. The Queenslander loved the buffalo chicken salad - spicy dipping sauce, and a crunchy chopped ranch dressed salad.


A large work group was there at the same time - three of the guys successfully completed the Misty's Burger Challenge and won a tee...that's 3 hamburger buns, 5 beef patties, 5 slices of cheese, 5 slices of bacon as well as fries.... eaten in less than 14 minutes 4 seconds! Wowsers!!!

I wasn't as full as the challenge winners, but I was pretty full after all that. The desserts are American OTT!!! The Reese's Pieces thick shake was a winner - more a dessert than a drink (see first pic). Thick and peanutty and chocolatey!!!


Cherry pie


Pumpkin pie

And they have pie - lots of pie! The cherry pie was picture perfect! The Queenslander finally got to try pumpkin pie- she was braver than I was!!! She liked it - she thought it was more cinnamony than pumpkiny!

Verdict

We liked it.

Mid value.

Overall

A fun night out full of American classics - I'm pretty sure you won't leave hungry!!
