On MLK day, We ended up here when our first brunch spot was not open. The place is a funky mix of old school and hip art modern. There is outdoor and indoor seating. Our family of 5 snuggled up in a booth inside. We ordered from the extensive but accessible menu that had standard diner, vegan, and old school options like meatloaf. We chose breakfast, which was delicious. I highly recommend one of the option from the Dueces wild: I had 2 french toast, eggs and sausage. The plates were abundant, arrived quickly, and satisfied our taste buds. Oh, they have good coffee, like coffee house good, not the usual diner dreck. They serve all sorts of juices as well as alcohol. Parking might be a challe...

To place an order, you approach the counter and receive a number for your meal, which the staff then delivers to your table. They also take care of refilling coffee and other drinks. I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs and toast. It was good but didn’t blow me away. My wife went for the crab cakes benedict, and while I found the crab cake tasty, it could have benefited from more seasoning. Unfortunately, her eggs turned out more like hard-boiled instead of the expected poached and slightly runny. Despite a few minor issues, I would definitely return to try more dishes. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of options, including sandwiches and burgers. All in all, it’s a solid spot...

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and offers efficient counter ordering and service. There's also an interesting story behind the place—definitely take a moment to learn about it when you can. I visited on the weekend, and it wasn't too busy, making parking easy. I can imagine it gets quite crowded on weekdays since Pixar Studios is just across the street. I ordered the corned beef and eggs, and it was probably the best corned beef I've ever tasted. I highly recommend it! My family members had burgers and a veggie burger, and they enjoyed those as well. I will definitely return when I’m in the area. By the way, I also had a slice of one of their pies, and it was fantastic!

My partner found the crab eggs Benedict to be quite pricey, and sadly, the poached egg was overcooked! She usually enjoys when the yolk runs out to complement her crab cakes, but this one was cooked to the point of being bright yellow, which was quite disappointing. Overall, the food was mushy, greasy, and not very enjoyable. On the positive side, the service was good. I did have to flag down the staff each time I needed something, but they were friendly. It's such a letdown; I think I'll give it another try in a few months. Book a table now

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The omelette was poorly made, with burnt eggs, and the additional ingredients were added at the end without being cooked properly, resulting in cold, raw spinach. The prices were surprisingly high, especially considering the lack of service. I recommend avoiding this place and going elsewhere. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The burgers at this diner offer a classic vibe and flavor, even though they appear to be pre-made and frozen. Surprisingly, they're quite good and enjoyable, with a nostalgic appeal. The fries are cooked to perfection, double-fried for a crispy and thick consistency. It's definitely worth ordering, but be mindful of the pricey add-ons for delivery services like DoorDash.

The meatloaf was both delicious and packed with flavor, just like the garlicky vegetables and mashed potatoes. This restaurant is fantastic, and I'm really glad they offer delivery through DoorDash. I had breakfast from there two weeks ago, and everything was spot on, especially that amazing thick, smoky bacon!

Overall, the food at this restaurant was fantastic. However, the crust of the Strawberry Cheesecake was a little dry and crumbly. On the plus side, the filling was excellent. Both the Chocolate Milkshake and the Mile High Club sandwich were outstanding, and the sweet potato fries were amazing. Book a table now
