Upperdeck American Diner

The story

Upperdeck American Diner sits upstairs in Beşiktaş with a retro 1950s–60s American diner look and a menu that runs from brioche burgers to chicken and waffles. Smash burgers, hot wings, onion crisps, pancakes, French toast, milkshakes, mocktails, and breakfast plates with eggs, cheddar, smoked beef, pancake, or French toast fill out the lineup. The kitchen leans into familiar diner combinations with details like rib mince smash patties, crispy chicken thigh, house sauces, pickles, caramelized onions, and maple syrup. Waffle choices range from fried chicken with butterscotch or Nashville hot oil to berries and ice cream, while sides include mac and cheese, spoon-cut fries, and truffle parmesan fries.
