The food here is delicious! They give you good portions and the price is reasonable. I don’t usually take pics of food but I had to share this place with you all!
The customer service isn’t the best. I had a young fella as my server and it felt like he wanted to be anywhere but there. No please, Thank You, check-in on food, etc. It seemed like a family run place and he seemed like the son. The “owners” were very friendly and focused on the restaurant.
I would come back here for the food! I don’t need to be coddled when I eat breakfast, I just want the server to pretend to care during our 30 second interactions. Still have them 5 stars for amazing food and cute little place off the road! *parking sketchy*

My mom and I came to this place by the recommendation from the garbage guy that serves our neighborhood.. Then my husband was also told that this place is a jewel
We were served by Emma, she was so nice to us. We acknowledged her that it was our first time there. Coffee was hot and did not have a burned taste, just perfect. I ordered bacon and eggs with a very picky request. Hash browns were delicious. My Mom ordered French toast and a side of bacon. She shared with me a slice of French toast and omg. It was fluffy, soft and not dry. Very nice vanilla flavor. The syrup was warmed and so now we’re hooked to this place. We had to put our names on the wait list as the sitting is limited because it’s a small place but it’s name says it all, the fifth wheel, a rare jewel near downtown San Leandro. Service and food are better than the Pelton cafe

This tiny little place is serving up some delicious breakfast. I loved my French toast and pineapple sausage (what a unique offering). There were some more adventurous items on the menu but I’m a wimp when it comes to spice and my buddy’s meal was indeed spicy. But everything about this experience did not disappoint.

The pancakes were excellent. I used to go here decades ago when I loved in San Leandro. Nice little hole in the wall for breakfast.
Very small restaurant with four tables and about 9 stools at the eat I’m counter. You sign in and wait outside until your name is called to be seated. Orders are taken quickly, and food is served in the same manner.
It’s been around for a long time since 1978, I believe. I’m sure it will continue to thrive.

I stopped at 5th Wheel Food for breakfast on my first morning in San Francisco, and it felt like stepping into a little time capsule. The place has a small, homey, no-frills charm that instantly makes you feel like you’re in on a local secret. The service was warm and genuine, and the breakfast was solid—not anything groundbreaking, but comforting in that classic diner way.
What made the visit really special was the history. While sitting at the counter, a woman came in who used to drive a bus back in the 80s and used to stop here regularly. She was thrilled to see it was still around, and hearing her stories added a whole extra layer to the experience. Sharing that moment made me appreciate how much history and connection a place like this holds.
I’m really glad I got to experience this little piece of San Francisco’s past. If you enjoy places with character, nostalgia, and a true neighborhood feel, 5th Wheel Food is worth a stop.

If you like an authentic old-school diner atmosphere, this place is it. There aren’t many tables, but the food is GOOD. The place was busy. If you want a local experience instead of some corporate restaurant, I would recommend it.

A San Leandro classic. The meals don’t look like more than standard diner breakfasts but they are executed really well. Service is fast and good. The homemade kimchi is a. I’ve way to spice up your breakfast and so is the Korean BBQ pork

The Fifth Wheel is a hidden gem with exceptional food that exceeded my expectations. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The breakfast menu offers a great variety, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re in for a classic dish or something a bit more creative, you won’t be disappointed. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to start your day. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious! Great and friendly service. I had the ham and cheese omelet. Lost some of the magic when I found out they get most of their products from Costco Business Center.
