“This is basically an 80s/90s restaurant & bakery joint like Coco's, Marie Callender's etc. They are still serving full meals, meaning entrees + soups/salads, with traditional sides galore, along with an extensive list of burgers/sandwiches, Mex-Am comfort food, and good breakfast items. The furniture needs updating for sure, and it'd be nice if veggies weren't steamed to death and there was more seasoning cooked into the food all-around. But you know what? You're going to find something here that pleases everyone, and it's a well-oiled machine that's probably been rolling for decades. Hits the spot.“

“Enjoyed Sunday brunch here. I got duck carnitas hash - lots of meat, fried eggs cooked perfectly (yolk a little runny) with home fries and seasoning. It’s a big plate of food. My companion got the As Kneaded French toast - I could taste the orange zest and cinnamon in the batter. Served with maple butter.No wait! We were there between 10:15-11:30 AM and there were plenty of available tables inside and out.“

“I've always liked Mel's but don't come in often but that's about to change it is officially the home of my cheat day meal. My girlfriend and I went there last night and got some bacon hamburgers fries and I got some wings. My burger was juicy as all get out and my fries and chicken wings didn't disappoint either. Service was great our order was taken really fast and the throw back vibe it had going on was pretty cool. Will be back for more grub if my first experience holds up going forward.“

“This place has been here basically forever since I first lived in San Leandro and the food has always been consistently tasty and fresh. Run by a cute Korean mom and pop couple, the value for a quick lunch is solid. Yes, post pandemic inflation has caused prices to increase but you get what you pay for. Hoagy steak has been a staple for me as an SL local and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a regular lunch take out place.“

“Frank's Sports Bar and Grill is an awesome place that you have to visit. My guests and I l enjoyed a delicious meal and good time at this venue.It has plenty of parking and is located immediately next to the railroad track off Marina Blvd.My experience started with finding a convenient parking space within its own clean and orderly parking lot. Pride of ownership and management was visible throughout. It had well marked parking spaces with plenty of handicap spaces. Entry was side and welcoming and free of stairs.Depending on which door you enter through, the space inside is cavernous and tables and chairs are well spaced out. Wheelchair using guests will not have any trouble getting around in here.A full and well stocked bar was located at the North end of the building while the kitchen was at the West side. The kitchen turned out to be a, seemingly, seperate business called "Porque no? Tacos." it has a vast menu of food items. Everything we tried was overflowing with flavor and obvious care in its presentation. The chips were thick and perfectly seasoned and their salsas, OMG, they were the bomb (delicious).Everything ordered was delicious just as they arrived. However, because of their amazing salsas, every taste was magnified.You order at the counter and get a numbered marker. The food is brought to your table bring shortly after.The staff was friendly and welcoming both at the bar and the kitchen.We lucked out that night, it was a Wednesday night. As we ate and dranked we learned that the place was having karaoke that night. We stayed for that and joined in.Jose, the KDJ was friendly and welcoming and seemingly able to play anything requested (except explicit song - some families were having dinner). The system used for karaoke was impressive and filled the place with sound without overwhelming it. We could easily enjoy our conversation and those singing without any problems.Bottom line, I highly recommend visiting this place. Wednesday night Karaoke was a blast with a mix of English and Spanish singing crowd. You will likely enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks Frank's.“

“You already know I do love my hole-in-the-wall food joints. This is a very quaint little place, hidden in broad daylight. ("hidden", as in if you don't know it's there, you'll breeze right by it.) They weren't busy at 4ish in the afternoon, and "Mom and Pop" were right there to greet me. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Very, very flavorful and charbroiled, as advertised. Generous portion of hot, perfectly crispy fries. The drink selection could be a little better, but I get it: very small outfit where, I would guess, the profit margin isn't real big. No problem, there. All in all, I would highly recommend it if you're looking for good, well-prepared and very flavorful food, WITH generous portions!! You won't be disappointed. I know I'll be back to try out menu items.“

“OMG this place is adorable. It looks like it's passed through time back to the 1970s, and it's such a tiny diner! I need to go back just for a picture alone of the interior, but the food was good enough that I want to try lunch, too. Service was efficient and welcoming, and those menu prices have not seen an update in years, either, praise the lord.Had a Denver omelette (I think), but I asked for bacon instead of ham - no problem at all with that substitution. I'm going to ask for the bacon crispy next time, but the omelette was otherwise great. I kind of love that they only do American cheese here.Would I have liked more options than wheat bread with barely any butter? YES (I should have added some jam). But this place has caught my fancy, for sure.Parking: You may have to go back a few rows because of the Dollar Store, but there's plenty of parking.“
