My lady and I loved this place so much! The only thing missing was 50s music to match the vibes. The food was wonderful! I had the corned beef and breakfast potatoes with pancakes while my lady got the country fried steak which came out a little later than the picture due to a small mix up and it was delicious. I do recommend their milk shakes if you aren’t already stuffed with the food here because they are DELICIOUS!

I tried the fluffy pancake combo and it was delicious. You are able to customize the pancakes with a bunch of different options. My wife had the Cesar salad with steak and it was very flavorful. I tried the Pontiac shake and I definitely recommend it if you like peanut butter and Oreo. Wife had a cranberry mimosa. Staff were attentive and pleasant. Food came out fast. Restrooms are clean and stocked with seems to be rare in restaurants these days. I will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu.

10/23/25 Still a 5*. A few NEW menu items you MUST try! Service always good to above and beyond. We tried the new wet burrito, really good. Fresh made salsa very good. Service a 10.
This wonderful little corner Diner really needs more people to try it out. Good older music (i.e. Frank Sinatra) in a dining area filled with old movies posters, older car models etc.
Try it and spread the word. Our small business owners need us.

08/2025 Nice place to relax and enjoy a good meal. Server was alone when we were there and he was busting @$$.

This hidden gem has amazing food and super cool atmosphere. You can feel the vibe in the wall decor, the food, the music, even the ketchup bottle.
We loved the service and the food. The chicken and waffles are glorious, soft and crunchy with a spicy syrup , we also got the San Francisco sandwich, which was very good too.
The highlight for me was the strawberry malt milkshake, must.
Great place, we will be coming back for sure.

I’m not going to spend a lot of time doing a review. I was on the hunt for a good milkshake and I found it! I got a hamburger to go along with it and it was huge and good! I left a happy girl, what more can I say?

On our final day visiting San Jose, we made the decision to explore a local city diner. Lo and behold, we stumbled upon a charming establishment aptly named City Diner. Intrigued, we decided to stop by and indulge in a few items for lunch. To our delight, the shakes we ordered were nothing short of extraordinary, bursting with flavors that left our taste buds in awe. Accompanying our shakes, we savored a mouthwatering burger and a variety of other good items. The staff at City Diner impressed us with their professionalism and warm, friendly demeanor. The diner was truly unique, creating an inviting atmosphere. If we were living in San Jose, we would undoubtedly become a regular food visit from us.

The food is excellent, great price. I love that the workers there remember all their customers. They know what my grandkids love to eat and always make sure to bring their food out ASAP. The best place for breakfast or lunch.

This is such a nice restaurant that’s close to home. We had a nice breakfast and great coffee, our servers were great too, very pleasant and not afraid to talk to you. The decor is a blast from the past, very amusing and nostalgic. We will become regulars there!
