The food was very tasty and the prices are reasonable. The service however they may need to hire 1 more employee and maybe be a little more friendly

We came on a Sunday morning and got seated right away. Several other tables, some larger than our group of 3 were seated after. They got their food and finished eating before our food came out (pancakes and eggs). When my husband asked where our food was, the server didn’t even let him finish talking before hurriedly saying I’ll check and walked away. Then she argued that he didn’t order bacon when all three of us heard him order a side of bacon. Finally we got our food. It was mediocre. Will not return.

Just out tooling around with Artichoke Joe when we stumble upon Hank the Go Getter and his little smooth as silk Muffintop, Toni Twolips, they were just coming out of the Southshore Café, and couldn't give the joint enough praise! So ..What do you do...You go in and see for yourself! And, that's exactly what we did, and let me tell you something...The food was Amazing! 5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆

My Mother and I enjoy eating here periodically. She loves their thick, Belgian waffles while I usually opt for the sausage only or sausage and mushroom omelet with tater tots. I cannot eat the entire omelet so I take half of it home for breakfast the next day. Service is quick and friendly and prices are reasonable. A nice, low-key gem in Alameda.

Love a good classic hole in the wall classic diner. Food was great and service was very quick considering how busy they are. It’s very much a spot for regulars and if you aren’t one, service is lacking. Two tables were sat ahead of me, I felt rushed to make an order, and the server literally rolled her eyes when I asked to add avocado to my sandwich. Honestly, I would have placed a bigger order, but the dismissive/poor service experience made me just want to get out of there asap. This place is definitely 5 star if you get preferential treatment, but it’s a nope for me.

Very friendly service and quick. Small family type diner, easy access. Plenty of parking.
My wife and I got our appointment done nearby and we happened upon this hole in the wall. When we stepped inside, I felt as if I left the Bay Area. It was as if I was transported to a small, diverse mountain village and I was visiting the local cafe.
There are no bells and whistles, it was basic coffee and delicious, well made, and fairly priced food. I feel like it's a family owned business and you can feel and taste the care in every bite of breakfast I ate.
We already cannot wait to come here again and try a new item on the menu. This is truly a rustic feeling gem in the area. I've always seen it and I can finally say I ate here and looking forward to having more meals in this establishment.

We went at a busy time for brunch. Pancakes tasted like they were from a mix - that preservative taste was pretty obvious. Eggs and sausage were standard diner fare. Corned beef hash was ok, but not great. For the price, I expected better quality food. Servers were borderline rude, but it was busy. We won't go back.
