Always a nice place to go for breakfast or lunch. The food is very good as is the service. The also have a nice large patio where you can enjoy your meal.

I don’t typically do reviews unless I am unhappy with a place but this place impressed me enough that I had to leave a positive review. I got the huevos ranchero. The sauce is phenomenal and they even made the corn tortillas taste good. The orange juice was amazing and my man got the country fried steak which was amazing and the gravy on that….ALSO AMAZING!!! This place is a MUST!! Wish I lived in Cali so I could frequent Blackboard Bistro!!!

I took a couple of out-of-town friends to the Bistro for a Sunday breakfast. The service had much to be desired. Aside from how long it took for our waiter to show up to take our order and the fact that we had to waive our waiter down for a coffee refill, or the unacceptable length of time it took for our bill to come, HE had the nerve to ask us and the diners at the next table to vacate our tables due to a party of 10 waiting for a table. What I would like is my credit card payment back so I can redo the 20% tip I left. I have a different tip in mind but I will just leave it at that and hope potential customers take note of my experience at the Bistro. I won’t be back, ever.

Blackboard Bistro is the hometown cafe you’re looking for! It’s a Seal Beach locals favorite that I visit every time I’m there. The food is amazing! My favs are cashew chicken salad and eggs benedict, but the menu is large enough to accommodate everyone. The staff treat you like family. It’s well worth a visit anytime your in Seal Beach.

Had the Cleuben (like a Reuben but with ham and turkey in place of the pastrami) – really good and different. Seasoned fries were just right too. Service was good and were seated in the back so it was quieter and we could talk without straining to be heard.

Stopped going here since the owner is a bully to staff and guests. This place is one of the few places in Seal Beach that has outdoor patio dining, yet the crazy owner won’t allow dogs or bikes on the patio. I even asked the waiter, why don’t you put a few tables in the garden outside the patio for dog owners and biker riders, since I was getting a dog. The waiter said the owner hates dogs. Update: the owner put gravel and tables in the garden like I suggested(see outside photos) but still no dogs allowed

The French Toast Royale and California Benedict were both amazing. Friendly service and only a few minutes wait.

I was in the mood for breakfast so I decided to head over to Blackboard Bistro since I was in the area and haven’t been there in a long time. I was pretty surprised that there wasn’t a crowded parking lot or a long wait but hey no complaints from me lol. I ordered the Mediterranean Omelette which comes with Hasbrowns and I ordered a side of French Toast. Oh Yes! I was ready to take this breakfast down, I was big hungry lol so I knew this would hit the spot. The French Toast, was just as I remembered, fluffy and packed with the perfect amount of vanilla and cinammon( still a fav) and the Omelette was also good. The only thing I would have needed more of was the cheese factor and a little more seasoning, other than that it was good.
