I love a good diner. It seems like so many of them today are almost cosplaying the diner experience (?) and they are *extra* expensive.. this place is a real diner situation. The prices are a little high, and I felt the hash brown portion was small - but otherwise, the food was hot and fresh and fast, the staff was friendly and welcoming, there is parking (!). I’d totally come back with a book and nothing my my schedule to enjoy!

Order reuben sandwich it was horrible. They grilled corn beef until it was crispy. Almost no sauerkraut on the sandwich. On the upside french fries were great.

The food was sooo good! Service was great they were all so happy. I loved the atmosphere the decor, including the tables. Oh and the prices are great we’re a big family and we definitely didn’t feel like we over paid.

I had the huevos ranchers, and I'm a bit of a connoisseur for that dish...it was excellent! Love the kitsch vibe and the menu is amazing. It was a great spot for a creative meeting!

The food we ordered was delicious. My husband ordered the challah French toast and I ordered 2 eggs over easy, hash browns and toast. My son had a cup of fruit. I liked all the barbies on the wall.

We went on a Sunday afternoon and was able to find a table right away. Our table ordered the Monte Cristo w/ hash browns, The Ribeye with Mashed potatoes, and the Green Eggs and ham. The food was good and the service was fast and friendly. I can't believe this was my first time at this long-standing Bay Area staple. I will definitely come back.

Closest thing to an east coast diner I've found in the east bay so far. The food is delicious, if a little too put together for a diner spot. And unfortunately the east coast prices don't come and follow.

I was here for one of the live music Fridays. The portions are generous, the food is good, and the staff is really attentive and kind. Not usually what I expect from a place where you order at the counter, but really nice to see! Will be coming back for breakfast and more live music in the future!
