This hidden gem provides a wonderful neighborhood diner atmosphere, with home-cooked tasting food and kind service from the long-time owners. The clam chowder is a must-try, described as better than any on the Monterey Peninsula. The staff are happy and friendly, creating a positive vibe. Customers praise the classic Castro ambiance, including historic artwork and a perfect location. Many describe it as a home away from home, where the food is a step above most other SF diners, with a large range of options from breakfast to dinner. The atmosphere is very inviting, respectful, and full of love, making it a favorite place to visit once a month. The food is always hot and delicious, with generous portions, especially enjoyed with friends, family, or alone. The vibe is friendly and welcoming, perfect for those who enjoy good old-fashioned American cuisine.
