Stern-faced, rude workers who swear at you and terrible service is what you’ll find at one restaurant - but that’s the whole point. We visited Karen’s Diner - and despite service that both puts you on edge and makes you laugh, the food had community reporter Keimae Blake stuffed, as she reports…
I had been watching TikTok videos of people taking their parents and grandparents to Karen’s Diner without telling them the staff were acting rude on purpose. Some videos had thousands of views and were hilarious as people stood there, stunned by such atrocious customer service.
I have to go, I thought. With a friend in tow, I went to Karen’s Diner on Suffolk Road in Sheffield - and at one point, I was too scared to ask for a knife and fork! Karen’s Diner, an Australian chain with seven outlets in the UK, will leave you in stitches as staff go out of their way to make your stay a misery.
