“Wow! I’m visiting San Francisco and chose this spot on a busy Valentine’s Day. Boy was that the right call! Food was perfection, fries were crispy fresh-and don’t sleep on the onion rings! Service was attentive and sweet, tables were spotless, and atmosphere was vibrant and fresh. 💯 recommend and would be back.“

“The 16th street Diner is fire! Worth every bit of 5 stars, and I'll tell you why!
I was out slinging stuff around with Wally the Weasel ..we didn't break anything and nobody had to go to the hospital, but it was time to make our getaway, and we found ourselves right in front of the 16th Street Diner! Well, we went in, and we couldn't decide between a burgers or a sandwiches so I asked the person to surprise us..just make mine bigger!
Man-O-Man were we surprised, the BurgerSandos were 5 ☆☆☆☆☆!“

“I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a cold drink. The burger was served hot and fresh with a perfectly toasted bun and a juicy, flavorful patty. The fresh vegetables, melted cheese, and delicious house sauce blended together perfectly, creating a rich and satisfying flavor in every bite. The fries were crispy, golden, and seasoned just right, making them an ideal side to the meal.

The service was fast and efficient, and my order arrived quickly without sacrificing quality. The restaurant was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a comfortable dining environment. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were fair considering the quality of the food and service.“

“We've been coming to Fifth Wheel for years and every experience is stellar. Chef and his team cook up a fantastic breakfast and lunch and the place is always busy.
My wife and I have eaten through most of the menu and always come back to the Korean BBQ plate. Do yourself a favor and order a side of pancakes for a real treat!
Thanks chef!“

“104 year old classic diner.“

“Omg ! This place is fantastic. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time . Simple no over the top stuff everyone else is doing just a perfect way to start the day . Easily the best French toast I've ever had !

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 .“

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

“Muy buena atención Y muy delicioso 😋“

“The food was uniformly excellent - we both enjoyed our breakfasts which provided plenty of food to fuel us until evening. Ample servings AND delicious! I’d give the service a 4.5 as it was busy time, but we needed basics like jam and extra napkins and had to wait awhile or ask a fellow diner for extras. It really was super busy and that brings me to the 4 stars for atmosphere. Although it is a really cute and inviting place for breakfast or brunch, it is very loud at peak times. Cushions on the wood seats might dampen the sound, but that is obviously not a priority.“

“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..“

“Thank you for the great friendly service“

“Wow, it’s highly recommended. We had a birthday party and people who worked there are nice and genuine. Thank you Sanfrancisco and thank you Pork Store Cafe🌹“

“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“

“Oceanview Diner was a delightful dining experience from start to finish. I ordered the potato pancakes served with sour cream, house-made applesauce, and a sausage, and every bite was flavorful and satisfying. I also had the chance to sample my husband’s pancakes and my daughter’s potato salad, and everything across the table was consistently delicious.
The coffee was fresh, hot, and the perfect complement to the meal. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience with comforting, well-prepared food. I would happily rate Oceanview Diner an 8 out of 10.“

“My favorite diner in San Francisco. One of the best Reuben sandwiches I ever had, and their take on eggs in purgatory ((Shakshuka) is one of my favorite meals in the city. But maybe the best thing going there is the Italian roast coffee. I would walk 2 miles every morning to fill my thermos there“

“5 stars on atmosphere since I ordered to go, but it seemed pretty peaceful and clean.

I'm a pretty no frills guy, and in that respect, the food was on point. Hashbrown were perfectly crispy, bacon was perfectly rendered and great to munch on, and the biscuts and gravy were as awesome as comfort food as I grew up with. The scrambled eggs were not overcooked or dry. I just wish I had some tabasco sauce to eat it with. Kudos for earning me as a returning customer after one trip.“

“I had dinner tonight and the food is delicious and the service of the staff that serves you is very nice“

“DESPUÉS DE SER DISCRIMINADA EN EL DENNY’S DE EMERYVILLE CALIFORNIA NOS FUIMOS A CELEBRAR MI ESPOSO Y YO MI CUMPLEAÑOS AL DENNY’S DEL CERRITO CALIFORNIA Y NOS TRATARON SÚPER Y LA COMIDA NI SE DIGA QUEDAMOS ENCANTADOS, NORMALMENTE VAMOS A ESOS DOS DENNY’S PERO BUENO NO TUVIMOS MÁS FAMILIA PARA CELEBRAR MI CUMPLEAÑOS Y AL DE EMERYVILLE FUIMOS A DAR Y NO FINALICE BIEN MI CUMPLEAÑOS PERO SI RECOMIENDO EN EL CERRITO Y AHÍ TAMBIÉN POR QUE NO, SOLO FUE UN MAL DÍA DE ESA PERSONA“

“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.“
