“I always order Country Breakfast. I am a snob when ordering my breakfast. Crispy hashbrown,crispy bacon,over easy eggs and dry sourdough. In my 10 plus years of placing my order. They have never ever failed my requests.Thank you to the owner and support staff.
I must mention the bar selections have excellent choices and the quality of drinks poured are well made and substantial.“

“Been on road trip from Texas for a week definitely the best we’ve had so far. Fantastic food and service.“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

“Tried this place yesterday at OTG: Fort Mason. After eating a bunch of other unsatisfying food I just wanted one chicken tender no sauce. Yes one chicken tender. There was a bit of a wait but I was so happy after eating.It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was well seasoned and had a nice crunch to it. The service was friendly and even they still offered me sauce during my pick up. They probably thought wth, but that is truly what I just wanted haha. Anyways try this place!“

“muy buen servicio y el personal muy atento como trailero para en barios pero este es muy bueno“

“We found this gem while visiting from the east coast. Every morning we were in town we would go to breakfast at Amy’s. When you find a good thing, stick with it! Food and service are top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Had the brisket sandwhich based on a recommendation. Not bad. Fries and slaw good too. Glass of soda was huge. we'll eat it again, maybe try dinner.“

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“The food is always delicious, the coffee hot, and they have the best desserts! My favorite server is Darla...when she's not running for an order, she always has a kind word and a smile! Unfortunately, there are a few other servers that grumble and talk in Spanish to the cook and other servers, which is rude and disrespectful to your customers that don't speak that language!😒 (I know Gloria does it a lot.). The manager is always helpful too. So kudos Black Bear Diner!“

“I highly recommend this location! And if you go, definitely ask for Jenni—she was the BEST waitress! She was super friendly, helpful, and incredibly fast. She made sure I had everything I needed before I even had to ask. Her service truly made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“all that it's laid back forsure“

“The manager ended up as our cook and what a damn good chef. This was one of the best meal I had at Apple bee’s. The margarita was soooo gooddd! And last but not least, the service was top notch! Ms. Jacky deserves a raise. I watched her serve others, her customer skills is on point. Great job Jacky!👍🏾“

“It’s that time of the year that you count on seeing us. We pick up our sides and gravy every year. Some how a pie always seems to make it in the bag to go Happy Holidays from the Guzman’s“

“One of the best burgers ever had in my life. Forget about In & Out Burgers. Be very honest, Val's burgers are pricey, but well worth it. If you like Super Duper burgers 🍔 😋, these might beat them. The fries & milk shakes are great too. The only down fall are take-out & cash only. Is not a problem for local, but people who travels might be tougher for them. They might want to wash their hands or use the restroom.“

“Just a quick stop for a good burger and an ice cold coke. The service was great and, unlike Fair, they will let you use the restroom.“

“We need a freaking salad bar in Alameda! We used to have 2 sizzlers on the island! Food is great & price!“
