We came shortly before closing and had the restaurant to ourselves. The food was very good. Prices seemed a bit high, but then we got our food and the portions are definitely worth the price.

Breakfast is Mid AF…I so wanted for this place to be great! Reasonably priced and large portions. We went for Sunday brunch. The service was good other than the wait. We had to ask for breakfast menus but it was 1:30 pm. We ordered chicken and waffles. The chicken was tough and not very flavorful. It was also slightly undercooked near the bone. The bacon was the thick cut type, which is not my favorite. My boys had the French toast, BBQ Benny and BBQ scramble they thought it was “bomb af.” But overall mid

Ours closed, so when I’m in San Leandro, I love to stop! It’s a great place to eat delicious meals for a reasonable price. How many places does the cook come out to talk with you?? I love the food, but my waitress really brightened my day with her friendliness and memorable smile❣️

Hadn’t been in here for a couple years while the windows were boarded up. Plywood is gone, so we stopped in for breakfast at 10am on a Wed. Only 3 tables occupied. The breakfast & service were great!! Omelettes are not folded omelettes, but scrambles. I had to try the BBQ Pork omelette. It was delicious. Country potatoes were nicely seasoned & perfectly cooked red potato wedges. BBQ sauce on an omelette? I thought I died and went to heaven. Even the sourdough toast was great. Warm & nicely browned. Wood bench seats were a little too firm and bathrooms needed a once over, but all-in-all, a pleasant experience. We’ll be back. Give them a try.

Not very good.
I ordered the bbq pork loin sandwich. The meat was tender and nicely cooked but completely unsauced and unseasoned. Sauce was served on the side. The roll it was served on was squishy even though toasted on the grill. The “cole slaw” was a plate of undressed, raw grated cabbage and carrots with a container of a sweet, gummy horseradish sauce.
In a pinch, you might eat here. I will look elsewhere.
The bathrooms are dirty, the vibe is ailing business.

I was very disappointed my first time going there , the older lady who works the floor was pretty rude & very uninterested in helping me with my online order, did not greet me upon entering, and also waited in the front for about 5-6 minutes before she came to the front to simple ask “how can I help you?” In a condescending way. Like ma’am, I’m here to pick up my order thatve already paid for … proceeds to tell me all my items are in the bag I made it all the way back to work and was missing items from my order. I just recently went back again to try and give them another try. Maybe she just was having a bad day that day, but again it was the same condescending demeanor, route in an interested in providing any hospitality or customer service, and a professional manner. Upon ordering my food once again online and paying for it, I went to the restaurant to pick up my order. Her demeanor remain the same. She said that all my food was in the bag and once again, I got back to work to open my back to realize items were missing, so I’m not sure if it’s personal or if they do this often but for me it’s the lack of professionalism and it should be a big problem as a restaurant to be forgetting items that are the main parts of the order. Would not recommend unless you actually are going there to sit down. Even then I would recommend coming when the younger worker is there she’s pretty nice and was very helpful when it came to reimbursing me for my meal that her other coworker failed to make sure it was completed and correct it before I picked up. Other than that the food is pretty basic appetizing but no real flavor definitely diner food definitely food that you have to go home and doctor up.

Superb service – very friendly and accurate, food was great (4.5). The bench seats need some kind of cushion but are nice.

After a bad stomach aid realized why this place was almost empty, the only good thing we’re my links and Garlic/Parmesan fries. Look at the color of the backed potatoe, horrible birthday dinner.

I took a friend there for a birthday for something different. Like another reviewer I was not sure about the pricing. But that’s all in the past. The food was amassing. Could not remember having such fantastic BBQ RIBS. I was not sure if order would be enough for the 2 of us but the portions were great and we both took home leftovers. Went back again with friends for breakfast. Food was still amazing. Heading back soon with some other people to enjoy the great food and wonderful staff. If you haven’t been go. It has kind of diner atmosphere but go for the food.

Had pork chops for breakfast, not something I’m used to. Served margarine instead of real butter. Service was very good though.
