15 Best Diners near Alameda

“Thank you for the great friendly service“

“Good place and good food 🙏👍“

“My mom and I came to this place by the recommendation from the garbage guy that serves our neighborhood.. Then my husband was also told that this place is a jewel 💎
We were served by Emma, she was so nice to us. We acknowledged her that it was our first time there. Coffee was hot and did not have a burned taste, just perfect. I ordered bacon and eggs with a very picky request. Hash browns were delicious. My Mom ordered French toast and a side of bacon. She shared with me a slice of French toast and omg. It was fluffy, soft and not dry. Very nice vanilla flavor. The syrup was warmed and so now we’re hooked to this place. We had to put our names on the wait list as the sitting is limited because it’s a small place but it’s name says it all, the fifth wheel, a rare jewel near downtown San Leandro. Service and food are better than the Pelton cafe“

“They have good breakfast like the lumberjack slam which is my favorite.. I have been eating at Dennys since I was a kid and I love their food yummy..“

“I come here a lot before work and I have been coming there for more than 15 years. It’s a local moms and pops and they are always welcoming and food is always hot and fresh. If you are in downtown Oakland check them out for breakfast and lunch options.“

“This is a gem of a diner. The food is great, service is quick, smart and friendly, and the vibe is easy going.

The special Chile Verde pork with grits and poached eggs was fantastic-a real winner. Breakfast sandwich is a reliable and super delicious standard. Everything is prepared with thought and care.

Coffee does its job. Can't wait to get back.

I love this place. See you there!“

“Best diner food in the East Bay. Live music on second Friday of the month 6 to 8:30pm.“

“Menu selections are varied and excellent. The minestrone is a very good specialty. Portions are generous. Steaks are excellent and generous in portion size. Breakfast and egg dishes are always consistent. Service is cheerful. Salads are great especially with an Elio’s Greek style dressing..“

“Little hole in the wall type business run by a sweet older man and his cook! We ordered the huevos rancheros and the waffles with fried chicken.

Although the huevos lacked a bit of flavor; both meals were affordable and well made regardless! The owner even offered us tortillas to go with our food. The decore is cute and the diner itself is relatively quiet. I'd say check it out if you're looking for a cheap filling bite!“

“The shrimp and grits are tasty. I don’t understand why the entire staff is Hispanic-like most Mexican restaurants they only hire Hispanic folks so if we are not good enough to work here I won’t spend my money here“

“Dennys and Jen Curtis as our waitress she was terrific chicken fried steak n eggs my favorite it was delicious. Jen was very pleasant her service outstanding we will be back“

“Haven't been here in years, and was not disappointed. Just as good as I recalled, or better. Yummy eggs, oh, so! soft, just perfect! Delicious latte. Friendly folks all around. Not cheap, but well worth it. No one should start the day with a disappointing breakfast!“

“Resturant was very clean service was great and good Food quality was excellent Food was hot and fast service Thanks“

“Ignacio, the waiter, is the best! He served our table (party of 3) with excellent customer service and we greatly appreciate it. We enjoyed the food and how Ignacio took care of us all. Thank you, Ignacio!“

“It was yesterday morning when my daughter asked me where I wanted to go for breakfast. After naming a few places, my daughter asked if I was interested in going to Fourth Street in Berkeley. I replied that that was a fabulous idea. As soon as we arrived on Fourth Street, we were thrilled to find a parking space a few steps from Oceanview To Go.

The place was packed. My daughter immediately registered us. It was going to be about a 20-minute wait. Twenty minutes later, the server approached and asked us if we would like to be seated at the counter or at a booth, in which case there would be an additional 10-minute wait. We, of course, opted to be seated at the counter, and that turned out to be an amazing experience because while we were waiting for our food to be prepared, we had a full view of the kitchen area and watched the entire scene of the execution from beginning to end of the diner chefs in action in preparing food for a full house of hungry customers, and for the servers to double-check the order before picking up the plates to deliver them to the customers in the booths.

While being entertained and taking photos, our server brought us our food. My daughter ordered the omelet with a side order of beans, and I ordered the pasilla-chicken sandwich. My daughter was a happy camper with her order, and so was I with mine.

There was an interesting dish that the chef prepared, of which I wasn't able to take a photo, unfortunately. We were puzzled by what the dish was; it had the circumference of a whole pie or cake. Perhaps on our next visit, we might order it and take a photo of it if my daughter's friends join us for lunch since it would be too huge for two people to consume it.
