The Diner of Los Gatos

I recently dined at The Dinner of Los Gatos and had a mixed experience. The menu offered classic options like the Big Hotdog, Benedict Eggs, and a Garlic Mushroom Burger, each of which had room for improvement. The hotdog was overly salty, and the Benedict Eggs were unfortunately overcooked, leaving us wishing for a creamier texture. As for the Garlic Mushroom Burger, it was lacking the garlic flavor that was promised, which was disappointing for anyone hoping for a robust taste.

On the bright side, the atmosphere was fantastic, with nostalgic decor featuring Elvis and Marilyn Monroe everywhere, creating a fun, vintage vibe. Overall, I’d rate the food a 3 out of 5 – enjoyable for a quick bite if you’re in the area but not quite hitting the mark. The ambiance definitely elevates the experience, though!

Greeted by Jessica with a friendly welcoming smile. Small restaurant, but very clean and filled with nostalgic items with good tunes. Served quickly by Jessica. She was very attentive with coffee refills, etc. The food was delicious and fairly priced. Perfectly cooked blue cheese burger and crispy fries were very good. The breakfast waffle, egg dish was also delicious as a five o'clock dinner. All items on menu served all day. Parking was fine for the size of this small great Los Gatos Diner! Going back soon for the Monte Cristo sandwich and fried chicken and waffles!
