This Hidden American-Style Diner Has Juicy Burgers, Milkshakes & The Vibiest 80's Decor
Is it just us, or does good food taste that much better when it's hidden? Whether you're into looking up, down, and all around for your next meal or prefer to step right up to the plate, you'll have to try hitting up The Bank for a meal of indulgent American comfort food. You heard that right — this hidden diner on Craig Road is camouflaged in broad daylight behind the facade of an ATM machine.

Slide open the door to step into an eatery resembling the set of Grease. All sleek interiors and leather Las Vegas-esque furniture, The Bank is fully decked out in 80's memorabilia: from blockbuster movie posters to retro music cassettes, an entire electric guitar surrounded by an assortment of vinyls and even a pair of boxing gloves as a nod to the Rocky franchise. Best of all, the playlist here is full of classic anthems and retro hits for a rockin' good time!

Further inside is the bar area, separated from the entrance by a set of velvet curtains. You will find multiple neon signs and an entire disco ball hanging on the ceiling! Those who enjoy playing retro games are also in for a treat, because there is a street fighter machine for customers to try their hand at. Finding out which drinks are available for the day is also simple: just check the chalkboard menus hanging behind the bar.

Wondering what you should order on your visit? Read on to see the top menu items we'd recommend trying at The Bank!
Signature Cheeseburger ($18.80)

There's a good reason why these cheeseburgers are The Bank's signature items, and it's obvious from the very first bite. The beef patty inside is juicy and tender, skilfully cooked to a perfect medium temperature. Unlike other burger joints, the ones here are assembled super well and hold up to being cut in half for sharing, all without collapsing! Especially hungry customers can also opt for the Double Cheeseburger ($26.80) or throw on additional toppings like Bacon (+$2), Cheese (+$2), and Jalapeno (+1).
Chicken Burger ($18)

Not a fan of beef? The chicken burger here has a thin and crunchy crust and is just as well-seasoned and juicy as the signature burger. The addition of their house mayo sauce lends a little creaminess and acidity to the burger, which cuts through any excessive meatiness. You can also double the happiness by picking the Double Chicken Burger ($26), which is guaranteed to leave you stuffed!
Spicy Bacon Cheese Fries ($14)

There are cheese fries, and then there are cheese fries. It's obvious these are the latter, because they came absolutely covered in a thick layer of delicious melted cheese and loaded with spicy bacon bits and green chilis. Every fry gave a sumptuous cheese pull and we truly felt like we were making bank while eating these. In short, any and all lovers of cheese simply have to try this or opt for the regular Cheese Fries ($11) to have it sans the spicy bacon.
Milkshake ($12.50)

What's a meal of burgers without a great big beverage to wash down all that meaty goodness? While The Bank also serves classic American diner-style drinks like the Coke Float ($9.90) and Root Beer ($6.90), we absolutely had to go with the strawberry milkshake. Available in 6 flavours, including unique ones like Reeses ($14.50) and Baileys ($17), The Bank's milkshakes are luscious and thick without being too sweet!
Churros ($7)

There are plenty of other hearty sides to choose from, like the Mozzarella Sticks ($10), Onion Rings ($8), and Chicken Bites ($14), but if you're just like us and love to end off your meal on a sweet note, the Churros are the way to go. Each serving comes with 3 large, crisp, freshly prepared churros with a dark chocolate dip on the side.
