“Lovely little gem of a place , fabulous food & service, highly recommend.“

“You enter through a walkway full of displays. Then a beautiful patio, up a ramp where you can grab a menu and wait in line. You place your order at the register and get a number. We found a table, grabbed ourselves water and waited for food to come out as its made. Luckily we were sharing plates so it didn’t matter how long between dishes.“

“We returned to this restaurant twice during our visit to SF, it was that good. Very much enjoyed the garlic soy chicken wings, salmon eggs benedict, kimchi, bulgogi, pimped up ramyun, and of course the bacon.“

“We were visiting from out of state and wanted a family friendly brunch. Location was great, parking wasn’t too bad. Wooden spoon was extremely accommodating with our kids. The overall staff were so welcoming and so kind, they took great care of us. The entire menu looked amazing, so we ordered quite a bit. Our food came out very quickly. Each dish was so aesthetically pleasing and delicious. Hands down the best French toast I have ever had in my life. We have never had fresh squeezed oranges in our mimosas before, and it was so incredible. What a way to start our morning! I cannot wait to visit San Fran again just for the French toast, I literally cannot stop talking about it to my husband 😂 Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience.“

“Great Service! Great for kids!“

“I was excited to try this place, and I ordered a Too Good to Go Bag. I arrived mid-afternoon, and I was immediately greeted by the owner. The place was spotless and welcoming. I proudly declared that a Texan was in the house to judge his kolaches. I had a sausage and egg kolache and a sausage/jalapeno/cheese kolache, and they were a great reminder of home! I liked that the kolaches weren't overwhelmed with the bread, and the eggs were creamy. It's easy to dry out kolaches, and the bread on these was perfectly moist. Color me impressed, I will be back!“

“My sister and I found Hollywood Cafe by chance and was pleasantly surprised. The variety made the choice difficult, but decided on grilled tuna and fries. They used a roll instead of sliced bread, added tomatoes and pickles. The albacore tuna was the best I've ever had with a unique spice blend. The fried were thin and lightly battered. The meal was definitely worth every penny and could have served 2 people. The servers were friendly and very good.“

“If you are near the ballpark before 2 PM stop in for a great breakfast or brunch. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and the dish just popped with flavor. The Salsa was excellent as was the Pico and the ham I substituted for the pork chorizo. My wife had a scramble with hash browns, which I can testify were awesome as were the eggs. It's been awhile since we had been there but it won't be long before we go back. Excellent breakfast spot.“

“Excellent place for lunch or dinner. The first time I entered a few days ago as a surprise because I didn't know the place and I got carried away by my curiosity. Today again I came out more than happy.The relationship between price and quality of food and service is perfect. The people who work deserve all the respect and recognition. Fresh and very good quality ingredients, treated with respect and head. The burgers, especially, are spectacular. Competent and very attentive service.In a word: absolutely recommended site.Also, a detail: the entire place is open and visible to customers. Always a very good sign and a lot of confidence, when there is nothing to hide. Congratulations!“

“Their food is some of the best I’ve had in quite some time. We stumbled upon this corner restaurant by accident and had zero regrets. Our favorites are the chicken and waffle burrito and their French toast. Their French toast is the best I’ve ever had, soft and flavorful. You must check this place out!“

“Have taken both grandchildren over last 5 years—-they always leave happy 😃“

“Great place to have dinner! Absolutely enjoyed the trivia night they had. The garbage bread is a must try! The penne pasta is delicious. The burgers are perfect! Let’s not forget the chips and the salsa. Everything was great! Service was superb.
Definitely made my family happy to eat here before we headed out in the morning.
We will be back next time we come out here.“

“The Broke Millionaire sandwich had a nice presentation and was delicious with all the ingredients complimenting each other. The Dirty Bandit drink wasn’t sweet enough for me but that’s my personal preference because I love sugar. The service was good and the atmosphere was ok.“

“I can not express how impressed and blown away I was visiting Neptune’s today “on accident”. I was driving past neptunes today and we ran into car trouble right in front. We got out and pushed the car into the nearest parking lot which happened to be neptunes. We had just bought a used car in the neighborhood and was trying to make it home and the battery just died. We spent some time pulling out the battery and ran next door to the auto parts store to buy a new one. Out of the blue an employee walked us out some water and said “I saw you out here and it’s hot. Wanted to give you some water and ask if you needed help. “ blown away by his kindness I thanked him but we had it covered. Once we got the battery replaced I decided to get breakfast from Neptune’s to show my thanks for their hospitality. Wow was I blown away. The breakfast was amazing , the coffee on point and the hospitality was unmatched. I give 5 stars for all in. My youngest son said. That guy is a good man! And I agree if you’re looking for good service and great food. Stop here! You won’t regret it.“

“January 2025:
Stopped by for Saturday lunch and tried the fried chicken with fried rice. Fried chicken came with a flaky breading. The fried rice was very tasty. The dish came with a little sweet chili dipping sauce for the fried chicken. Complimented the chicken nicely.

The brunch items looked pretty good. Next time, I may try the french toast.

Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back again for more delicious food.“

“Homestyle brunch options here were great! We got the eggs benedict and huevos ahogados. Highly recommend both! Seating is quite casual here, great for a quick brunch stop. Prices are much more reasonable than what brunch would otherwise cost. I'll definitely be back!“

“Really enjoyed my visit to this breakfast spot. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. You can tell they put care into their dishes, and there were plenty of good options to choose from.

The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a nice place to start the day. Service was friendly overall, though it took a little while to get checked on during the busy hours.

Overall, a great breakfast place with solid food and a comfortable vibe. I’d definitely come back again“

“the food was really good but the service was bad. The waitress took our order and we never saw her again. We needed refills on coffee and water, and she never came by. We had to get up and call someone“

“I do really love this place!
The owner is the one who's attending and she's such a nice person! And, talking about the food... I'd recommend you the Turkey ham croissant... it's really delicious! Or if you want, you can just come to drink a cup of coffee and relax for a while inside.“

“Good food, great service. Support small local businesses.“

“We picked a week day as we heard it can get quite busy on weekends. The service was great, the food had flavor, yummy! My only concern was the sound carried so they might think of adding baffling to absorb the sound otherwise I'll be going back 👍“

“It’s the food, a 10 all the way. And, I’ll be back!“

“Manny’s is a valued, diverse and welcoming community hub to gather & discuss current events, politics, city & area leadership & issues with local, state & national figures. Good food & drinks too!“

“Very solid Brazilian fare, good beer selection, wonderful service people“

“I went to Eve’s for Easter Sunday brunch yesterday. There are numerous things that I like about it and will definitely go back.
The customer service is very good; the staff, from the hostesses to the busboys are friendly and professional. The hostess asked us if we wanted to be inside or outside; nice choice.
My only complaint is that we didn’t know who our server was and we did have to wait for our drinks; but still so nice!
The buffet is one of the best that I’ve been to; not a lot of options which I liked but the options provided were off the chart delicious. My complaint was that I had to ask for a plate for myself and my (91 year old) cousin who was on a cane. The food should’ve been hot but people kept leaving the chafing dishes opened; staff should’ve been monitoring the dishes and the food. The crème brûlée French toast was INSANELY good; didn’t need butter or syrup. Eat it just the way it is!! The roasted potatoes were outstanding (lukewarm) can’t imagine how they would’ve tasted hot. They were perfectly seasoned, a bit of crunch from the skins and perfectly cooked within. The buttermilk fried chicken was a little dry and yet, it still had flavor. My cousin raved about the string beans so much that all of us went back to the buffet for a side plate of the string beans; very good!! The prime rib was also very good; better if it had been hot. The shrimp and grits was also amazing better if hot. Another cousin had the lobster mac’n’cheese; loved it. The chef did an outstanding job of not over salting the food; everything had flavor without overpowering each dish. By the time we would’ve had dessert, we were too full; biggest regret was not a bigger stomach because the desserts looked great.
Finally, what stood out among the 4 of us was that the restaurant was full but not loud! We were able to converse without yelling; listen to the background music without competing with it. The management didn’t try to see how many tables they could squeeze into their dining areas; including the patio area. It was just a very nice environment.
I wouldn’t given this restaurant 5 stars had the food been hot.“

“Delicious, fresh and wholesome food! We were visiting from out of town and just googled breakfast in Berkeley, and this place popped up. So glad we chose it, because our food was delicious. Our group had the lox bagel, breakfast burrito, and the jumpstart breakfast with pancakes and bacon. Everything was quality and cooked well. The smoothies and espresso drinks were also great!“
