“l love this neighborhood cafe, the food is great and the service is always friendly, warm and inviting. food service is fast and hot....love that.���“

“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!“

“I’m not a fan of pasta but their chicken parmigiana is lit. I love their omelettes and the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and the avocado was fully loaded on the toast.

Great ambience and love their freshly squeezed orange juice which I love it. Great staff! I’d go back again!“

“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.“

“Had a good experience at this restaurant. Great staff and good food. Vintage style diner in both size and interior. The steak was cooked to the temperature I requested but needed some basic salt and pepper for flavor. Pancakes were really good and how I like them fluffy and moist. The best thing about the pancakes is I didn't have to bath them in syrup, that's how good they were 😁. Will definitely come back and try other menu items“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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🌹“

“Muy buena atención Y muy delicioso 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
