This establishment is darling! A blast from the past with friendly service and great food! There are two dining areas, both decorated cute. Many vegan, dairy-free, and gluten free options here! I ordered the vegan mess. Note, the soy-rizo is likely not GF! So ask the waiter. I’d absolutely come back here for breakfast or brunch!

I was disappointed by my experience at this establishment. The corned beef hash could have benefited from more time spent roasting the potatoes and grilling the beef for added crispness. The French toast was enjoyable, but also could have been improved by additional time on the grill for a desired level of crispiness. On a positive note, the side potatoes were a standout aspect of the meal. While the prices are reasonable, the overall quality of the food was lacking.

Step back into decades past and enjoy greasy-spoon classics — updated without the grease. Wooden booths, vinyl bar seating and pineapple with cottage cheese evoke a 1950s feel.

We enjoy taking friends and family from out of town here for brunch to experience the good old American diner feel establishment that’s still offers pretty economically priced menu. My favorite item on the menu as of now is the reuben sandwich.

Love the vegan options! Large, cheap mimosas always warrant brownie points. I got the vegan mess with soyrizo and although it’s deserving of its name, it was hearty and delicious! I have also had the tofu scram with ranchero and soyrizo, but it was a miss in comparison. The only other critique is the sourdough; we live in SF, we can do better than average, flimsy store-bought sliced bread! Otherwise, super tasty with lots of options for people of all dietary preferences. Can’t wait to try the milkshakes next time!

Probably the best breakfast you’ll get for the price in SF. I got the sausage, egg and pancake combo and it was good. I came on a Saturday morning so things were busy and the service didn’t feel particularly friendly but it could be explained by the business. I’ll be returning and hoping things will be friendlier next time

Went there for brunch and loved the place. It looks like it’s been there forever and I liked the decorations. A classic diner. We ordered the chef’s mess, the nebulous potato thing and some pancakes. They were delicious!! I also had a root beer float and I loved it a lot. Their ice cream is just perfect. The service is really friendly.

The food and service here are excellent. I was super impressed with the freshness of the scramble I ordered, and the banana bread is killer. Highly recommend. The weekend special eggs benedict with avocado is also very good. There will be a wait on the weekends but it moves pretty fast and once seated, service is quick and friendly, and the coffee is good.

Old school diner with original breakfast dishes and a friendly staff. Portions are large and the price is good, so you’ll leave happy. Come on a weekday to avoid the weekend rush. I ordered the Chef’s Mess which is an amalgamation of potatoes, eggs, onions, mushrooms, melted cheese, and topped with sour cream and tomatoes. Meal comes with a side bread, I was recommended the banana bread and was not disappointed; served toasted and perfect with a little butter.
