Founded by returning expats, Big5 serves diner classics — burgers, wings, milkshakes — with Route 66 vibes in Iasi.
IASI, Romania - CuisineWire -- IAȘI, Romania — Big5 American Diner is an American diner-inspired restaurant in Iasi, created from a simple idea: bring the real diner feeling home—comfort food, warm atmosphere, and the kind of consistency you remember from classic road-trip stops.
The founders' journey started far from Romania. After leaving Iasi for Huntington Beach, California (near Los Angeles), they spent close to a decade working in the catering industry, learning what it takes to deliver quality at speed—day after day, for demanding crowds. When they returned to Romania, they didn't just come back with memories; they came back with a plan: build a diner that feels authentic, welcoming, and seriously tasty.
Big5 opened in Iasi in 2020 with a clear mission: "Savor the American Dream"—not as a slogan, but as a daily promise. The menu is built around diner favorites like burgers, buffalo wings (served with blue cheese), and thick milkshakes, alongside Tex-Mex staples such as burritos and quesadillas. Signature picks include the Big 5 Burger, the Double Double, and the Texican Burger—bold flavors, classic comfort, and a bite that keeps people coming back.

Beyond the food, Big5 is about that unmistakable "Route 66" energy: a friendly place to meet, hang out, and treat cravings with the respect they deserve. The team focuses on fresh prep, tight execution, and reliable quality—working with local suppliers whenever possible.
"We always planned to return home. Big5 is our way of bringing the taste and feeling we loved in the U.S. to Iasi—made with care, day after day, right here," said the founders.
Big5 American Diner is located at Str. Theodor Rascanu 17, Iasi, Romania.
