20 Best Diners near Berkeley

“The food was delicious, the service was fantastic and the vibes were immaculate. It's a cute diner with good music, cleanly spaces, and the staff who are so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. I have a pretty strict diet but they made me feel okay with those restrictions and catered to my needs. I will be back!“

“Food was very good, good service too. Really good location and it reminds me of a 1940s diner. Pretty good menus and selection of food. \nBut unfortunately this is probably my last visit. Which is really too bad as I really like the place and would recommend it to everyone. But, as I was leaving I noticed a sign in the widow I hadn’t seen when entering. Stating that law enforcement was not allowed if they don’t have a warrant. Well I support law enforcement and if they aren’t allowed to dine here then I won’t be back either. Too bad, I really like this restaurant.“

“Amazing service and a small, clean atmosphere. The restaurant seats 18 people max, with one table seating 6, 2 tables sitting 4, and 4 single spots to sit facing the window. The patty was slightly disappointing on the “Cheezburger”, but the fries made up for it. Would definitely go again!“

“104 year old classic diner.“

“Perfect lunch or anytime spot for comfort food and great service!“

Diane is super sweet at the counter and it was just a great experience. Which was need after a long night . I will absolutely be back when I'm back in town .“

“Fantastic food and really nice staff. They have recipes I’ve never tried before, created with excellent craftsmanship. It’s not a greasy spoon for sure, but less expensive than other “high quality” diner-style restaurants nearby.“

“Visiting from London, lucky you have stumbled upon this amazing little place, extremely charming, unique and welcoming,

I love a family owned business… that’s maintained traditional service. I stopped by for breakfast, and loved adding this place to set me up for the day, with full belly and calm mind. Faultless service“

“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“

“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“

“Really friendly staff and good service!Delicious breakfast.“

“Always swift and attentive service. The food is prepared with care and pride which can be hard to find in SF right now. Its not your fancy diner and it doesn't need to be. The focus is on the food and the quality is much better than some more expensive diners in the City.

Thanks for being here all these years and keeping the integrity consistent every visit.“
