Reviews for Marv's Classic Soda Shop in Black Diamond, AB

Amazing place that takes you back to a better time. We are from England and came across this place while wondering around after... a hike. Great food and the shakes are simply the best ive ever had. I will definitely be going back when I'm anywhere near BlackDiamond again. Read more

This was a very cute 50's retro diner. We loved the little red baskets our food came in and the excellent service from the... waitresses that were dressed in vintage outfits. The Bopper whopper was very filling and delicious as well as the fries,milkshakes and banana split ice cream sundae. Read more

They were so wonderful and even though they were turning off the grill in 15 minutes they welcomed us to sit down and did not... make us feel at all like a bother. We ordered quickly, and our food came out in 10-15 minutes. Milkshakes were delicious highlyrecommend the blue raspberry! Read more

Really excellent service by kind and well dressed staff. They were above and beyond what I expected. The food is classic,... original and delicious. Their fries are AMAZING! I will be returning to try more later. Read more

This burger and shake place is a fun blast from the past! It was really neat to look around at all of the memorabilia inside;... they even have some small retro-style trinkets and goodies for sale. First, let me start off by saying - they have a petfriendly patio! It was great to be able to have our dog join us for lunch. Just remember to bring a water bowl, as I did not seeany available. We opted for the Fonzie (cheeseburger) and chocolate malts. The burger was pretty standard, with all the usualtoppings (fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard and mayo). The patty was on the smaller side, but definitely tasted homemade.The bun was a bit stale/dry and I didn't eat it. All of the burger meals come with fries, which were very hot and crispy. Itwas a small portion than some other restaurants, but very filling - couldn't finish them all. The malts were absolutely thehighlight of the meal. So delicious and frosty, with real whipped cream on top and the extra served up in the metal milkshakecups on the side, so you could top up your glass. I would come back just for these! The service was also very friendly. I lovedhow all the servers wore 50's style outfits- so authentic! Read more

Stopped in for lunch and it is an authentic diner complete with working jukebox. We were able to make our music selection at... the table which was a real treat. Milkshakes, hot dogs and ice cream were our lunch choices. Waitress in 50's garb completedthe retro feel. Kids loved the dog and fries served in a car! Read more
