Rae's Restaurant is a nostalgic 1950's diner that offers a perfect spot for breakfast. The prices remain reasonable, and the food is served quickly, though presentation is not a priority. The Rae's Special Omelette with chicken, onions, zucchini, and cheese continues to be tasty, along with the 2 eggs, 2 sausage, and biscuit meal. The staff is friendly and hardworking, providing good service, even when short-staffed. Recently, the restaurant has been freshened up, making it feel brighter, and it features a fun, funky throwback feel and architecture. The outdoor seating area has also been updated and is now adorable. Customers recommend sitting at the counter for the full experience. The new Tuesday Chilaquiles special is absolutely worth getting up early for and is considered the best in the city. Additionally, customers can now pay with credit cards thanks to a new cash register. The restroom code must still be requested from the staff, and parking on nearby streets is advised to avoid tickets, though there is a small parking lot available. The restaurant is also wheelchair accessible, and it offers vegetarian options like veggie burritos, veggie omelets, salads, and veggie burgers, making it a good choice for those with dietary restrictions.
