Walked in 6/8/25 approximately 11:35 AM, was greeted at the front door by a guy with tattoos on his arms and was told to take a seat anywhere and someone will be with us shortly. Sat down and waited about 5 mins and no one is noticing we’ve taken a seat. My partner goes to grab a menu after waiting a few mins and a group of white people came a few mins after we arrived. A medium length blond haired server sat them immediately when they walked in and takes their drink orders. At this point, we still haven’t been acknowledged. Same server comes back to their table and serves their drinks. After the drinks were served to them, we up and left because clearly no one is assisting us. Thats disrespectful af. Why were we told to take a seat anywhere and a group who comes in a few mins after gets served immediately? Was it because the group was white? Are the servers selectively choosing who they want to serve based off of color? That’s crazy. You can’t even say that they’re short staffed if the server sat a group that came a few mins after us and immediately serves them.
Do what you must with this information as you already have the date and time stamp of when we walked in. So go ahead and check the cameras. We kept looking around to see if anyone was going to assist us.
We came here since it’s been years since my partner has come here and it was cool to know that they reopened. So much for the experience we received.
Food burnt, asked for no onion or bell pepper and potatoes still had them the only thing that wasn't burnt was the eggs and toast
Lots of choices. We ordered pork chop with eggs and a cheese burger. Nothing really stands out. Service was prompt and friendly. Was surprised the covers of some chair cushions were already worn and split, considering this place was just reopened not that long ago.
Mario is my favorite server! I'm so glad they opened back up!
A small place but you couldn’t find a nicer establishment.
Ben was our server and you won’t find a more humble person.
The atmosphere and attitude of the facility and staff were spot on.
I will definitely return.

We're so glad that they're open again! Reduced hours for now, but we've missed coming here for brunch / late lunch :) :)
Our food was tasty and the price is pretty reasonable. Gotta try their pho next time though ?

Came here for a late breakfast/lunch around noon on a Monday. A friendly waitress greeted and seated us right away. We quickly received menus and coffee. I had a BLT, and my wife ordered eggs with hashbrowns and sausage. The food was pretty good overall—my BLT could've used a little less lettuce, but the fries were perfectly crisp. My wife enjoyed her meal as well. The bathroom was clean, which is always a plus.
Total: $41 before tip. Credit cards accepted

Stopped in for a quick breakfast while I was working in San Jose. It was great! Service was awesome food was very good and I liked the atmosphere. Chicken fried steak and gravy was excellent! I always have to have a pancake too, it didn't disappoint. I always order my hash browns extra crispy and most places dont make it happen
this place nailed it! I Definitely will stop back in again next time I'm in town.

So-so food. Pleasant server. Casual seating. The restaurant smelled of cleaner, like Pine-Sol; it was unpleasant to smell this while trying to enjoy food.

Although under new management, it was as good or better than the original. After a renovation that took a few years to complete, it was well worth the wait.
Parking: Small parking lot. Just enough space to park roughly 10 vehicles.
