5/5

Great vegan options (including breakfast) and excellent service. Choice of Beyond or Impossible sausage. Strong coffee. Also, I have enjoyed their vegan pancake platters, vegan Reuben, and Fried Corn Tortillas. A bit pricey, but these days what restaurant isn't? We come here every time we are in the area.

A good classic diner, with generous portions. When someone thinks of a classic 60s / 70s diner for American food that several chains try to emulate, this is the real thing. Though the atmosphere is quite a bit nicer. Overall a great place for a burger, or American breakfast.

Open early, open during holidays except Thanksgiving and Xmas. This spot has been a favorite of ours for going on 15 years or so. It's a warm and inviting atmosphere, got spacious seating, kid friendly. Prices are good, on par with the average bay area breakfast restaurants.
They have the best fruit bowl around the east bay, and their omelettes are generous. Thick bacon, great hash browns, and a solid biscuit and gravy. The burgers are big and tasty, and the chicken pesto sandwich is delicious too.
The service is consistently great, the quality coffee refills are ever present, and the folks working here have been around for years. We especially love Amber, though all of the servers have been great.
Plenty of parking in the lot out front, close to the freeway.

I've been coming here since they moved to El Sobrante which I believe is over 20 years know. Love the food, portions and price. I always sit at the counter so I can chop it up with my chefs. Love them guys. They are super hard workers. They waitresses are also super hard workers. Everyone knows me by name. Love the atmosphere and is always very clean. The owners Jennifer and Tod are awesome people. Favorite all time breakfast place ❤️💯🔥

5/5

It was one of the best simple breakfasts I've had in a long time. The hash browns crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, the eggs were perfect, and the toast was from a local bakery. They also have a senior menu and vegan items as well. I have been back a second time now. The coffee is good and they good biscuits and gravy.
Only cons: Automatic surcharge for parties over 6 and surcharge for using a credit card.

Well I decided to give only 4 stars, because the waitress came over to our table to take the order and we ordered something different, then what she brought. But we let her know and she was nice to try to change our order right back , but decided to keep it. Because I knew they would throw it . Other than that I love the service, and the food.

We went for a breakfast and we were pleasantly surprised by the brunch selection. The place definitely has a strong french influence, although the dishes don't follow a strict french tradition but they are excellent. The orders came with a fresh and welcome fruit salad. The coffee was great as they have a good espresso machine. Would come back!

Love their selection for breakfast; some of the best biscuits and gravy around. You have to try the hashbrown or home fires upgrades. The service is great, very attentive and friendly. Dining option inside and outside. It can get pretty busy, but the wait is usually not long. Two minute wait on a busy Saturday around 11am.
