I ordered a bacon omlette (with well done bacon), tomato instead of potato, rye toast (requested that the kitchen butter it for me), and a decaf coffee. The bacon wasn't well done, the omeltte was over cooked, the kitchen didn't butter my toast, and the coffee was so dark that you needed two of the plastic half and half cups to get it to change color from black to dark brown. The left half of the diner (where we sat) had window booths with a view of the parking lot and overhead, pastel colored, hanging table lamps that reminded us of what we saw at the Murano factory in Venice, but looked like an octopus (consistent with the seaside theme). A lady in the next booth thought the table lamps lo...
If I could give this place no stars, I absolutely would! The food was average, but the waitress—oh my goodness! Her attitude was terrible! She was unfriendly, never checked in to see if we liked our meals, and didn’t refill our coffee cups. She was truly a disappointment! What upset my husband the most was that she just threw the check onto our table! He decided then and there that she wouldn’t be getting a tip. We’ve never left a restaurant without tipping, but this woman earned nothing! She spent most of her time chatting in the kitchen, which we know because we could see her! Do yourself a favor and avoid this place! Better to eat at McDonald's or Burger King!
We used to love this diner and went about once a month. Tonight we went back for the first time since the pandemic started. My first impression was how dirty it was. The place was pretty empty yet at least 7 tables needed to be cleaned. There was food on the floors, ketchup splattered on the side of the booth, windows filthy, fingerprints all over the doors, booths, etc. It had a completely different feel now. Gross. Food was still decent but definitely not as good as in the past. Our waitress was very nice as was the hostess. Overall, it was just okay. I don't know what happened.
We've gone here at least once a month for many years. However, we will never go there again. Today, our coffee cups were dirty and there was dried ketchup all over the salt and pepper shakers. but worst of all was the owner. He's always grumpy, but today while we were paying, for some reason this guy went off on a wild political rant. In addition to being uncalled for and unprovoked, it was also borderline crazy. We were just trying to pay and get the heck out of there, but the guy didn't want to stop. We're finished with this place. The food isn't good anyway.

We were the first couple of our party of 6 to arrive. The table was set so sloppily as we sat there, that I got up straightened things out. Then the food was served , six forks were placed in a heap. The waiter never came back to see if everything was OK or if we needed anything. The food was not good, except for salad dessert. Huge portions, but if the food isn't good, so what? I get better food service in my own kitchen.
Their breakfast is always on point. A friendly, inviting atmosphere always leaves the diner feeling like a welcome friend. They've got a food selection of food for any diner, whether it be pancakes, waffles, eggs or anything else you want. You'll leave happy at the end of the day, with some wonderful food in your belly and a nice hot cup of tea or coffee whichever your poison may be.
Have not been in the East Bay in a long time and last night's dinner was excellent. All four of us were extremely happy. We shared two dinners between us which included soups, salads and entrees with side dishes. The food was so fresh and tasty. Pricing was so reasonable and service provided by Sally was excellent. Great to be back at the East Bay Diner. P.S dessert was also included
Generous portions, welcoming service, a spacious atmosphere, and an extensive menu. The marinara sauce was surprisingly delicious! The grilled chicken I added to my Greek salad was spot on—perfectly seasoned and cooked. I'm definitely planning to return to sample more dishes!
