We love this place. The food is predictable and good. Mario, our waiter, is amazingly helpful, friendly and professional. We are so glad the restaurant reopened. Just wish that it was open 24/7.

This place has the charm of a classic California-style American diner with a warm, cozy feel the moment you step inside. The menu is full of great options, and everything we tried was cooked with care and packed with flavor. The staff is genuinely friendly, adding to the inviting atmosphere. Even though the diner has been fully renovated, it still carries a wonderful old-school spirit that gives it character. I can already see myself coming back regularly because the experience was that good. Plus, they now offer mimosas, beer, and wine, which makes it an even better spot for a relaxed meal or weekend brunch.

We ordered food online so we can just pick up and go. They didn’t offer any sides to order on their online ordering site. Figured I’ll just order it there.

Walk in and there was a guest already at the register checking out. Attendant tells me to just go find a seat anywhere. I tell her I have an online order that I wanted to pick up. She tells me it’s ready. I tell her I’d like to place another order. She tells me ok, in 10 minutes.

Guest in front of me finishes and I step forward. She walks away from me and takes an order from one of the tables. I totally understand. She comes back and puts their order into the system in front of me. Then walks away to get their drinks. Ok. Another guests comes up behind to check out. Attendant asks me to move out so she can help the person check out. I tell her but I’m waiting to put in my order. She says ok, she’ll take my order in 10 MINUTES! I don’t get it. I’m first in line. Been waiting. Why won’t she just take my order? I grab my pick up order and left. This is ridiculous. I’ll never come back with service like that.

I thought they'd have better food after their renovation, but unfortunately not. The omelet I ordered was very greasy, and the pancakes my wife ordered were tasteless and like plastic, very difficult to cut. The waitresses were very friendly and attentive, but the food disappointed me.

It was okay. I’ll say the service wasn’t bad, food was out quickly despite other reviews I had read. The food however was very generic. Quite expensive for food that tastes like it was made at home. And the portions are smaller and more expensive than at similar places around.

First of all thank you for being open at 1:30 in the am on Saturday nite/Sunday a.m. posted hours are 3 am.. me and my guys like to have fun and well we did. The mini gourmet pushed out traditionally good food. Check this out, I enjoyed a generous portion of Chilequiles and my two friends had the same thing Steak And eggs. But not just steak and eggs, they each chose the $3 upgrade to Wagyu beef and eggs (
Wagyu beef is highly revered for its vast fat deposits, commonly referred to as marbling. When examining Wagyu beef, it will appear rich in large fatty streaks throughout every cut.) good was the definitely mu h better than any other 230 a.m. option and more. Enjoyed the service immensely.was. Was nice, Blondie. She had a pleasant, fun, bit quirky, nice disposition. And was good at her job and enjoyed our dumb attempts of humor.

A long-time favorite in the South Bay. So happy that they're reopened and serving up the same terrific food! The redesign of the diner is a winner.
