30 Best Diners near Emeryville

“Best diner food in the East Bay. Live music on second Friday of the month 6 to 8:30pm.“

“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“

“Really nice place. The food is really good and nice big portions. The servers are really friendly and the cook (Nayeli) is amazing and super accommodating with our order.“

“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!“

“Was REALLY disappointed to discover Sliders had removed the self-serve bar, but I understand the difficulty of maintaining something like that, especially during the COVID era. For YEARS I used to get a double patty chili cheeseburger with fries. At the condiment bar I would add mushrooms, olives, onions and mayo. Now, no more condiment bar, or custom chili burgers, but its still a great San Francisco lunch spot. Definitely recommend.
Edit: Recently tried their Philly cheesesteak...it is the ONLY cheesesteak sandwich I can eat without adding condiments. No mayonnaise, no anything: just the seasoned meat, cheese and bun -- its perfect as is. Well done!“

“I absolutely love Fifth Wheel and have been going almost every Saturday for the past few years with my partner. It started when he moved to the area and we were looking for a new breakfast spot. The other spots just didn't hit the mark, but Fifth Wheel has been consistent. Everyone on staff is so nice and the restaurant is cozy. It's not too big inside, so you may be waiting, but it never takes too long during the peak times on Saturdays. Ordering to go is also a nice and quick option if you don't want to wait.“

“104 year old classic diner.“

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

“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 .“

“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.“

“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“

“It was my first time trying David's Delicatessen & Diner ever and decided to stop in for breakfast and I was exceptionally impressed with the Shakshuka it was absolutly INCREDIBLE and I would Highly Reccomend eating it with the Toasted Jewish Bread. When I ran out of bread the server brought me some without any issue. It's truly amazing that this deli has been here for 74 years! We also tried the Rueben and my wife was especially impressed. I would come back again. EASY 5 Stars!“

“Muy buena atención Y muy delicioso 😋“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is a really nice neighborhood diner. The food is fresh and the staff are very friendly. We had a really nice time and really enjoyed the food. We had walked all the way down from Lombard near fort Mason. It was a healthy walk and we really worked up an appetite.“

“excellente découverte nous avons adoré y aller pour le petit déjeuner. les smooties sont top“

“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.“

“Very wood service all of the time“
