“Very sad that another independent is gone. Someones dream has ended. “At least I did support you a few times - a fantastic little place.”

Others added that it was a “shame.” In August 2023, the diner's owners addressed rumours that it would be closing. In a statement on social media, they said:

"The Fabulous 50's Diner is not closing we have just changed owners. "The restaurant is open and will continue to offer the same menus, music, and pizza. "We would like you to read carefully, only Mr. Wagdy's two companies have gone into liquidation. "The Fabulous 50's Diner now belongs to new owner MO DINER LTD. "We are waiting for you to come visit the restaurant. "We will continue what Mr. Wagdy and his wife started by keeping the memory of you as the initiators of this restaurant."
