    Breakfast plate
    Diana T.

    They are usually pretty busy but always get the food to you quickly. The servers are very attentive. I love the waffles from here. They have plenty of seating and they have bathrooms.

    When I first walked into this restaurant, I was greeted so kindly and with such genuine enthusiasm. I was invited to sit wherever I liked, and from that moment on, the service was exceptional. My waitress, Diana, was truly outstanding attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. She even substituted a mimosa for regular orange juice so I could still enjoy the cotton candy garnish on top "candy cloud", such a thoughtful touch! The restaurant itself is absolutely adorable, decorated with a fun, nostalgic diner vibe. I loved the classic booths, the counter stools, and all the charming photos on the walls. Diana mentioned the decorations in the other room, so of course I had to check them out and take some pictures! Everything was just too cute not to! Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the tres leches specialty waffle with two pieces of bacon, two pieces of sausage, and two over-medium eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The waffle was so flavorful it didn't even need syrup, and the coffee was excellent, smooth, rich, and never bitter. Diana kept my cup full without me even having to ask. She truly seems to love what she does, and it shows in the way she treats her guests. I'm so happy I had the pleasure of being served by Diana today made the entire experience that much better.

    Review #940 Posted on 9.30.25 We came here to eat on Sunday the 28th in between soccer games at the Soccer complex. We got sat immediately after arriving, and got a nice corner booth. The old school diner feel to this place is awesome. It's got a diner countertop in the front of the restaurant, then a dining room area with plenty of tables, a bunch to accommodate different size groups/parties. To touch more on the old school diner feel, they've got that bubble type leather seating, a jukebox (which I think was just decorative, not real, but still cool), photos of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean everywhere, and even a place you can take photos at. The many has a nice selection, you can do breakfast or lunch. Breakfast has a 2 eggs with protein type section, omelettes, waffles, pancakes, etc. We tried a lot. Country fried steak which was good. Ham steak, Omelette, has browns, & we tried the Dubai chocolate waffle too. We'll come back for sure again when in the area for soccer.

    Fast and friendly service! Enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Platter. Eggs, sausage and bacon were all tasty. French toast was simply two smashed cinnamon rolls. Husband ordered the turkey sausage eggs Benedict. Simple but potatoes were pretty good. Might come back for a fruity pebbles waffle but that's about it.

    I finally had the opportunity to try this place after passing by for the longest time. Easy to find lots of parking spots. Inside was clean and I love the 50s dinner feel. Service was quick and attentive. Food was good the chicken and waffles was in the pricy side but was amazing. Coffee is as good as it gets.

    The Omelette was perfectly cooked...
    P T.

    One of the BEST Omelette I've had in a very long time. Will be back for sure. The Food and the Service is Amazing. If you're in the Stockton area, go try it. You won't be disappointed.

    So yummy!

    Sina was amazing! Food was awesome and the customer service was even better! The environment was very inviting and fun!

    Diana is the major gem at this place. Most diners offer good food and this is no exception. The flavored waffles and omelettes are worth the trip by themselves. But what distinguishes one diner from another is the staff and service. Diana is one of the best I've encountered at any diner. You would be hard-pressed to find better. I've seen her competently handle a rush that would leave another waitress panicked and overwhelmed. Another thing that helps this place is that it has a counter. For many people this can make a difference when eating by themselves. When you're by yourself, it's just pleasant. But sometimes a conversation will start with someone else at the counter. That can be a great addition to a solid meal.

    Chicken n waffle with strawberries, almonds n whipped cream.

    One of my favorites here is the chicken & waffle. I upgrade my waffle with fruit toppings & nuts and it's really good. Another one I like is the Dubai Chocolate Waffle and the Dubai Chocolate Strawberries.

    Pistachio latte

    Diana was an excellent server Food was delicious, so much on the menu, had the waffles before and they were great, tried the pistachio latte today was very good, wish it was a little bigger though!

    OK, first of all let me say that this is the first time we have ever been to this place even though I was told that this place has been here for a while so we decided to try it out this time we had breakfast. I had my usual chicken, fried steak and eggs with the pancake And my wife had an omelette overall I say it's pretty good. Their country potatoes were actually better than the hashbrowns to me and usually for me it's the other way around so that was the difference Service here was excellent. The lady that helped us was very nice. Ambience was very good. I like the 50 style diner look Will be back soon to try out the lunch so I can raise the stars up so if you're in the area, try it out let us know what you think. I will put up a couple of pictures of my plate.

    We had such an awesome experience at Sheila B'Z today. This was our first time here. The first…read morething I noticed was there was ample seating: at the counter, tables or booths. Aaliyah greeted us as soon as we walked in and directed us towards our table. Coincidentally, she was also our server. It was like we knew her for years. Aaliyah was friendly and attentive. We started with the mimosa flights. We couldn't decide on flavors, however, Aaliyah picked a variety of flavors for us, so we were covered. The food came out hot! I had the meat lover skillet with eggs over-easy. The eggs were cooked perfect. The warm yolk added to the flavorful meat and smothered potatoes. René had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was juicy and tender. Next time we'll ask for a side of sauce because it's so good that we needed more than provided, at least for us. One thing we noticed was that every customer was happy. Maybe the other customers were regulars there but this was our first time and we were treated like we were regulars. I think it just says something about the attention to customer service. Toward the end of our visit, "B" one of Sheila's daughters, came out to check on us. Again, it was like talking to a long time friend. Well, it turns out Sheila B'Z is a family business - - everyone working was family, including those working the food truck at an event today. I love that. We will totally be back!

I'm serious when I say the fish was the best I have tried in long time . The bar is so long . A great size bar . It's also rentable for parties for a great price .

As we were getting settled, a male server who was NOT our server kept hovering over our table, pacing back and forth, and staring at us. It was extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary. That same server--again, not our assigned server--asked for our drink order. My boyfriend ordered a mimosa but had forgotten his ID. He is clearly well over 21 with heavy facial hair. I ordered a mimosa also, and my boyfriend took a drink. Shortly after, the manager came to our table and aggressively confronted him, saying he needed to present ID if he was going to drink it. The interaction felt more like harassment than policy enforcement. We ended up canceling our order altogether. Between the lack of greeting, the hovering and staring, and the way we were treated over a drink, the whole experience felt targeted and uncomfortable. As Black customers, it was hard not to feel singled out. We will NOT be returning!! Zero Stars!! But you need to put a rating to post a review.
