Great omelets! I ordered the Farmer’s omelet (bottom left and top right; also pictured is the ABC omelet), and it came with hash browns and toast. They gave a very generous serving of the hash browns, and though it needed some salt, it was delicious!

Amazing food! Had the ABC omelet with hash browns & English muffin. It was excellent with the bacon crispy and the avocado fresh. The service was friendly and went above and beyond making us homemade chocolate milk.

Chicken fried steak! Really good! Hash brown was crispy as well as the chicken fried steak! Tasty gravy! Love that they don't skimp on the butter on the English muffin! Thanks!

Excellent service and the food tastes good. This is a restaurant business that’s been around for years and has kept their reputation for the quality of service and food they serve.

Stepped in on St Patrick's Day 2025 at approximately 1046. The kind, patient and efficient waitress said it'll be ready in about 10 minutes. Meanwhile I ordered a dinner salad with blue cheese dressing and a Diet Coke with lots of ice. 6 pieces of hot bread accompanied with real butter (wrapped pats), which kicked off this stupendous meal. Afterwards the corned beef arrived. The snapshot of the main entree tells the entire story. Happy St Patrick's Day!!!!

I've seen someone post on Instagram about chicken fried steak and eggs. Had to try as it LOOKED good , and boy, did it taste even better it did not disappoint, but now I'll have to come try the chicken picatta.
Highly recommend this place .

A great place for breakfast, and other meals too. Traditional diner with good old fashion tradition service. I

Vegetarian options: They are very flexible with your order. This is not specificly a vegetarian restaurant

Parking: San Bruno just decided to charge for street and lot parking. There is lots of parking available now, but make sure to find the machine to pay for your spot. It may not be where you park your car.

Kid-friendliness: Family oriented. Very accommodating to having kids. Also flexible with the menu for kids

Salina lowe (SALINABABYG)

So I go in, sit down. Get a cup of coffee, some toast. Never one time. Did the lady come back? Ask if I need anything. Sat there for 30 minutes waiting for my check. As they conversated about whatever they were conversating about asks 3 different times for my check as they sat there and looked at me constantly because I do social media. So, instead of them coming over to ask me if I need anything else or if even need some water never happened, the food looks partially burnt. I would take my money elsewhere if I was you. You will get service and better service some place else For the money you're going to be spending
