Nighthawk Diner is an American-style diner concept based in Sydney, Australia, offering classic comfort food such as burgers, tacos, sandwiches, loaded fries, and diner-style sides and desserts. Operating from a flagship bricks-and-mortar venue in Chippendale alongside a fleet of food trucks and trailers that service events, pop-ups, and catering, Nighthawk Diner focuses on high-quality ingredients and a modern take on classic roadside diner fare. Customers may order in-venue, at a truck, for takeaway, or via third‑party delivery platforms, depending on location and availability.
A charge from Nighthawk Diner may appear on your bank or card statement after dining at their Chippendale restaurant, ordering at one of their food trucks, placing a catering order, or using a delivery service linked to their business. The description line may show as “NIGHTHAWK DINER,” “NIGHTHAWK DNR SYDNEY,” or a similar variation. In some cases you may see a separate charge for tips, a pre-authorisation hold if you opened a tab at the bar, or a payment processed through a delivery or booking platform that collects funds on Nighthawk Diner’s behalf. Larger charges can occur for group bookings, event catering, or if multiple orders were combined into a single payment.
If you’re unsure about a Nighthawk Diner charge, first check recent receipts, email confirmations from delivery or booking platforms, and your calendar for visits to Chippendale or events where a Nighthawk food truck was present. Compare the transaction date and amount with your dining or ordering history and look for any additional tip or surcharge items. To resolve questions, contact Nighthawk Diner directly via the details on their website (nighthawkdiner.com.au) or through the support channel of the delivery platform you used; provide the date, exact amount, and the last four digits of the card charged so they can locate your transaction. For incorrect or duplicate charges, they can usually issue an adjustment or refund through their payment processor, while billing disputes with third-party apps are typically handled via those platforms’ support and refund processes.

Why do I see a charge from Nighthawk Diner on my statement when I don’t remember visiting the restaurant?
Nighthawk Diner operates both a dine-in venue in Chippendale and multiple food trucks and trailers around Sydney, including at markets, festivals, and private events. The charge may be from ordering at a Nighthawk food truck, paying for catering, or a delivery/takeaway order placed through a third-party app under your name or account. Check your email and app order history for food deliveries or event tickets that included catering by Nighthawk Diner. If the charge still doesn’t look familiar, contact them or your delivery platform with the transaction details so they can investigate.
What are typical amounts I might be charged by Nighthawk Diner?
Transaction amounts vary depending on what you ordered and the size of your group. A single meal (burger, fries, and a drink) will often fall in the moderate casual-dining range, while group orders, catering, or event packages can be significantly higher. You may also see additional line items for extras such as sides, desserts, or alcoholic beverages, and, when ordering via apps, delivery and service fees may be billed separately. Always refer to your itemised receipt or order confirmation for a breakdown of charges.
Why is there a Nighthawk Diner charge and a separate small charge or hold on my card?
If you opened a tab at the bar or paid using a card at the table, Nighthawk Diner’s payment processor may place a temporary authorisation hold to verify your card, which can appear as a separate pending transaction. This hold is usually for the estimated bill amount (sometimes slightly higher to allow for tips) and is automatically released by your bank, typically within a few business days. The final posted charge should match your signed receipt or digital bill. If a hold does not fall off after a week, contact your bank and provide the transaction details.
How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Nighthawk Diner charge?
If you dined in or ordered from a truck, you may have been offered a printed or emailed receipt at the time of payment. For a copy, contact Nighthawk Diner via the contact form or email listed on nighthawkdiner.com.au and include the date, approximate time, amount, and last four digits of the card used so they can look up the transaction. For delivery or pickup orders placed through platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or similar services, your receipt and order history are stored in the app under your past orders. Your bank statement description alone is usually not enough; having the approximate time and amount speeds up the search.
How do I resolve an incorrect or duplicate charge from Nighthawk Diner?
Start by confirming that the charge is not a combination of your main bill plus tips, or a pending authorisation that later adjusted to the final amount. If you still believe you were overcharged or billed twice, contact Nighthawk Diner directly with a copy of your receipt, your bank statement screenshot (with sensitive details hidden), and the exact transaction date and amount. They can review their point-of-sale records and, if an error is confirmed, process a void or refund through their payment provider. For orders placed via delivery apps, you may need to submit a billing issue or refund request through the app, as those platforms control the final payment.
Can I cancel or change a catering or event booking with Nighthawk Diner and get a refund?
Catering and event bookings generally have their own terms regarding deposits, minimum spend, and cancellation windows, which are agreed when you confirm your booking. If you need to cancel or change a booking, contact Nighthawk Diner as soon as possible using the details on their website and reference your booking name, event date, and any deposit paid. Refunds or credits depend on how close to the event you cancel and the specific terms on your booking confirmation. Always review your original quote or contract for exact cancellation and refund conditions before requesting changes.
Why is the amount on my Nighthawk Diner charge higher than the menu prices I remember?
The final charge may be higher than the base menu prices due to add-ons such as extra toppings, sides, desserts, premium drinks, or alcohol, as well as surcharges that may apply on public holidays or weekends. When ordering via third-party delivery platforms, service fees, delivery fees, and platform markups can also increase the total amount compared with in-venue pricing. If you added a tip or gratuity, that will be included in the final charge. Review your itemised receipt or app order summary to see exactly what was included in the billed total.
How do I contact Nighthawk Diner about a charge I don’t recognise?
Visit nighthawkdiner.com.au and use the listed contact options—typically an email address or contact form—to reach their team about billing questions. Include the transaction date, exact amount, the name on the card, and the last four digits of the card so they can search their payment records. If your charge came through a delivery or booking platform, also provide your order or booking ID from that service. For urgent banking issues such as suspected fraud, contact your bank first to secure your account, then follow up with Nighthawk Diner for any additional details they can provide.
