Love this place as far as originality. And great service. Not to mention the atmospheric area of the marina. Unfortunately, the food (breakfast) was mediocre at best. Hash browns was like a large potato chip and greasy and the bacon was super thin like the Oscar myer kind at the super market. Perhaps I’ll try their French toast or pancakes with sausage patties next time?

Truly a hidden gem. We used to go there 30 + years ago and good to know that it hasn't changed at all! Hearty breakfast.

Great little breakfast place overlooking the harbor. At times there's a big line.

Open since 1957 I would say that Galley Café is one of my favorite breakfast options in Orange County. Perhaps my favorite of the diners. It’s located right next to the water, near the boat docks, so it has some really great views. Inside is quite small and there is usually a line to wait to be seated but the tables turn quickly because service is very fast and efficient here. We had to wait about 15 minutes on a Saturday morning @ 10:30 for a party of two. There is a lot of free parking along the water so parking is very plentiful and close to the restaurant. Both of our servers were extremely polite during our visit and everything that we ordered came out very fast.
I really love how cozy it is inside, all the seating options are either booth or counter seating. The menu itself isn’t very large, but has a lot of great classic diner dishes on it. For my first visit, I went with the Chili Cheese Omelette and added avocado and chorizo and I thought it was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend the combination to anyone and already want to come back again soon to get it again. Pricing is also fair and overall it was a wonderful experience so I would highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through.

Pancakes were good, but the syrup was disgusting. Not very clean, there was food all along the window. Very hot and uncomfortable inside. Cannot recommend and will not return.

The servers should either be retrained or let go. It seems like they don't care about the new customers and only really care about the regulars. We got sass when I went inside to check in our group of 3 like you would at any other restaurant I have ever been too when instead you're supposed to just sit on the bench outside to hold your spot in line. The food also does not come out all at the same time with 1 plate coming out and then the rest coming 10+ minutes later. I ordered and omelet and asked for cheddar but instead got american which I usually would not mind except the put on what tasted like 6 slices of cheese making it more of a just cheese omelette instead of an all meat omelette. Overall not impressed and will never come back, take your money somewhere else unless you want to be disappointed by food and service.
Definitely a great little spot in Newport Beach for breakfast and lunch beautiful view of the bay great service and excellent food !

We visited this restaurant three times in a five day trip down to Newport Beach. It was fine but the problem and the reason I gave a three star was the service from the young lady twice out of the three times was not welcoming. She had attitude. She wasn’t welcoming. Small place doesn’t deserve a big attitude. Food was fine. Atmosphere was nice!!

Hadn't been in the area for nearly twenty years, and the Galley Cafe was the same high quality, fabulous service, and a really wonderful experience to share with my son. Shout out to Adrian who provided excellent care if us. Long live the Galley Cafe!
