It's a small hidden spot in Hayward. Amy's grill & cafe has one of the best brunches I had in the east bay. I wanted a chill spot to hang out, and saw there were waffles. So, of course, have to stop by here. Friendly workers. There's indoor & outdoor seating. Decided to seat outside in the shade under the trees. Fortunately, not too busy when I went on Tuesday 11:30amish for breakfast. Ordered: -#6 Eggs Milan (with included hashbrown and choice of toasts.) loved that it had pesto sauce on it, too. -Apple cinnamon waffles (with sautéed apples, cinnamon sugar spice and whipped cream, maple syrup on the side). Also pretty delicious & fluffy. Overall, it's worth the meal. Great prices for food and smooth tasting coffee. read more

Absolutely wonderful! Amy's Grill and Cafe is a self-seating diner style place, the decor and style is so cute and the staff are kind and inviting. Theres outside and inside seating that are very comfortable. Bathroom is available, its through the kitchen so just ask staff when you need it. There is a very chill playlist providing some ambiance buts its the perfect volume so you can still speak with friends Today I got the monster chili fries, a linguica sausage, a coco mocha (hot chocolate), a coffee and caramel banana waffle. It was sooo good! Price ended up around $55 its veryy worth it for the portions and flavor. I included pics too :) read more

What to Get/Not to Get: Get their home fries for breakfast as they are soft and crispy for that perfect potato texture. The rest of the food can be a little too home-cooked-meal-like, meaning the food could be made with haste other than the home fries, and not so much made with tender care going above and beyond to make it the most delicious home cooked meal Customer Service: Exceptional service, expectations exceeded Price: Approximately $118.07 for 5 people Ambience: Indoor/Outdoor Seating. Indoor seating is limited as the restaurant is small, so you could expect to wait for seating if you don't go early enough Overall: Good Experience read more

Cute little spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. We grabbed seats at the counter, and our food came out pretty quickly after ordering. I always go for the eggs Benedict, it didn't disappoint. The hollandaise was solid. I'd definitely come back. read more

I haven't been to Amy's Grill & Cafe since I hung out with family friends several years ago. I got kinda lost looking for it when it's sitting in the middle of the shopping center. The place is really small though. I saw a family that had to sit in a small table, but thankfully they moved to a larger one since customers from that table left. They do have a patio but it's cold outside. Obviously no one wants to sit outside. It's also nice that almost every table has condiments for us to use. The food is good though. The syrup's viscosity is very thick and slow, which is something that I've never experienced. The pancakes are quite fluffy. The sausages and eggs are alright. Because the place is small with less seats, it can be hectic during peak hours. Highly recommend to go through takeout if possible. If you still want to dine here especially indoors, you'll have to wait longer. read more

We came here on a Sunday morning for brunch. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of parking since it is part of a larger complex. There was a bit of a wait for indoor seating as it was raining the day we went so no one was sitting outside. The wait ended up being around 10 to 15 minutes. Once the waitlist moved we were seated pretty quickly. The indoor space is not huge but it feels cozy and the staff kept everything moving without making it feel rushed. I ordered the California omelet with home fries and it was delicious. I did expect the portion to be a little bigger but the omelet was packed with avocado and had great seasoning. The home fries were cooked really well and had good flavor. It comes with two slices of toast and I chose sourdough which made it a good combination. The people I was with ordered the bagel sandwich and the burger. They said both were really good and everything came out hot and fresh. Service was friendly and the food tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. I can see why this place gets busy on weekends - we will definitely be back! read more

Cute breakfast spot located in Hayward. Amy's Grill give you the comfort breakfast dinner vibes and flavors. If you want some comfort food for breakfast or lunch they are open from 7 am to 3 pm. Friendly staff with many options on the menu. The service was not as quick as I had hoped for but they do make the orders fresh. The waiter I had seemed a little confused but it might have been a new trainee. Check out Amy's Grill for a decent meal and a nice cozy-comfy breakfast. read more

DECENT, LIGHT BREAKFAST I ate here twice. The first time was on a Sunday. Before coming to Amy's Grill & Cafe I previewed the menu. One item that stood was the chicken apple sausage omlette. When the omelette was served I noticed the cheese with a bright yellow color, which concerned me. However the omelette was light with a moist chicken apple sausage. I ordered my hash brown well done, but I liked how the hashbrowns weren't burnt had a golden, brown color on the outside. In the past when I request to have my hashbrowns cooked well done sometimes they taste burnt, but not the hashbrowns I ate at Amy's Grill & Cafe. The second time I ate at Amy's Grill & Cafe was several days later. I knew what I wanted to order - cinnamon apple waffle. I was hoping that waffle with the cinnamon would be similar to churros in texture. I expected the waffle to crispy on the outside, but it was soft. The cinnamon apple topping didn't make the waffle heavy. Overall I was slightly disappointed with the cinnamon apple waffle. The bacon was a nice side order to compliment the waffle. During my two visits at Amy's Grill & Cafe I enjoyed my breakfast dishes. I expected more especially with the chicken sausage omelette and cinnamon apple waffle. Breakfast items at Amy's Grill & Cafe aren't that you become bloated. This place is a nice dining eatery to have pleasant, light breakfast. read more

We've been coming to this restaurant for years, and every time they exceed our expectations. The service is always quick, and the food consistently tastes amazing. We love their outdoor seating, it's such a nice spot to sit outside and enjoy breakfast. Eric took great care of us today and had us in and out within 40 minutes. We really enjoyed both of our entrées, veggie and cheese omelette and Avocado Toast. We'll definitely be back again for breakfast! read more

I wish we came back sooner and eat here more often instead of trying mediocre eateries... Amy the owner is still behind the Kitchen doing her THANG... She has alot of loyal customers she know by name. That speaks volume in my books. Me and the wifey came here on a Tuesday 11am ish. It was somewhat busy. They had 2 customers already seated when we arrived. We had the option to sit any were since it had plenty of open seats. We sat inside and they have seats outside if you prefer. Dog friendly outside. I love me some Chicken Fried Staek so that's what I had 5/5. As we was eating people started coming in Any new or the waitress knew who they were already. Saying HI. Questioning them how is the family. Which was a plus for us. Service was fast and easy. Will definitely come back more often. Maybe bring the kids next time! Thank you Amy and crew! read more

This is a small cafe located by Sonic in Hayward. It's not part of the strip mall, kind of on the island in the middle of the parking lot. It's cute! Great atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating. Inside fits about 25 people but laid out nicely. The service was awesome. We were greeted with a smile and manners by this young man. We were seated right away. The food was good. I had corn beef hash with eggs and hash brown. And it was all cooked exactly the way I want it. Service was friendly during our meal. Prices were reasonable. I recommend this place. read more

Look, before I was introduced to Amy's, I was NOT a breakfast person. Whatsoever. Did not care about breakfast. at all. Now, I am planning my next meal at Amy's. While I am eating at Amy's. That's how addicted I am! And at one point, I was dragging the boyfriend here every weekend! It's a little hole in the wall place and sometimes if you get lucky, your meal will be made by the one and only chef Amy. The menu is pretty extensive. There are also sandwiches and burgers. In addition to your typical breakfast food like pancakes, waffles, and omelettes. My usual is the cowboy Benny style biscuit and gravy. It's like your usual biscuit and gravy but enhanced with a pair of Benedict style egg, topped with crispy bacon bits and a side of the homestyle potatoes, which are very crispy and delicious. In fact, this meal is so scrumptious that I get sad when I'm about to finish the meal because I want to keep eating it lmao. Boyfriend usually gets their omelettes. It's a very well rounded meal and a great way to start off your day. Also, their black coffee is on another level. I swear! Every time we come here, we're always so amazed at how they brew their coffee. The flavor is on point. There's no bitter taste. And it's very smooth. And very caffeinated. My #1 breakfast spot for sure! read more

Service. Food didn't taste greasy. The one negative thing I would say is they use margarine.

This place was a little hard to find. It has ample parking and seating. They also had outdoor seating as well. The place was simply decorated but feels like it's been here a little while. The vibe was pretty chill and the people who worked here were nice. I placed our order for to-go, items were: 1. Monster burrito- I didn't know this was the type of burrito you eat with a fork but my husband loved it, so much I didn't even get to try it. 2. Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs - I was a little disappointed they didn't have biscuits I wanted to have it with this. The chicken fried steak was super crispy along with the crispy hashbrowns and over medium eggs.. it was perfection.. 3. Cornbeef hash with eggs and rice - Delicious, nice and crispy. I especially loved that you can have rice as a side. 4. Side order of sausage patty - delicious especially when you dip it with gravy and put it on a slice of bread. 5. French toast - Amazing!! I didn't even need syrup but good with syrup as well. I can't wait to come back and try their other items. read more

This place is small restaurant, but very tasty food. I ordered the pancakes with bacon, and egg. In my opinion, the best pancakes I've ever tasted-fluffy, fresh, and delicious. The portions were pretty big as well. My daughter really enjoyed them too. I'm planning to take the family here to try the other options. Plenty of parking. read more

The "Monster Burrito" was anything but..... I've seen a few Taco Bell Burritos bigger. Nothing special about it. The sauce was pace picante. Also you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom. Bathroom was also a storage. It was a dirt mop in a dirty mop bucket. Floor was pretty dirty. People were friendly. I would never go back. read more

Was just here last week with my husband. This week we took our kids after church. The food is amazing as always. The son loved his waffle, eggs and bacon. My daughter finished her egg Benedict and my husband and I also finished our food. #cleanplateclub My daughter (future yelp Elite. Lol) said the hollandaise was the most delicious sauce she had ever tasted! Way to go Amy! The service is fast. The food came out quickly and perfectly cooked to our liking. The place is not crowded with plenty of chairs and table. read more

Located in the strip mall area where different fast food restaurants are located. Local and small place. A few tables inside and few more outside but it was too cold for us to sit outside. The servers are great. Menu is pretty large. We ordered pancakes, corned beef dish and coffee. Coffee isn't great. Pancakes were good. Corned beef wasn't great as well. Looks like I could do better using the canned corned beef. Place is clean. Lots of parking. Weekday breakfast was pretty dead so no need to wait to get seated. read more

This small café has a very cozy feel where seating is first come, first serve. I'd say the portions are smaller compared to other breakfast and lunch spots, but still filling. I got the turkey melt sandwich and a side salad; the sandwich comes in sourdough sliced bread with turkey, melted swiss cheese, tomato, dijon mustard, and mayonnaise (I also asked to add lettuce). The sourdough bread was seasoned and toasted very well, with a nice crunch :) and the dijon mustard added a much needed kick to the sandwich! Overall I enjoyed this place and would come again, even though we drove 30 mins to eat there! read more

Amy's Grill has been around FOREVER. This was my first time visiting and they were pretty solid. There was a short wait but not more than 10 minutes. It was a gloomy Saturday, about 10:30am. By the time my parents and I left there were maybe 3 parties waiting. There were a lot of regulars that came to pick up food orders. All greeted by name. The dining area is small, clean, and has lots of natural light since they have the two huge windows. It's nothing fancy, but has a very homey feel. My parents enjoyed their everything omelette with fruit. I got the Swiss mushroom burger. When I saw the mushrooms were really cooked down I didn't really like that, but it turned out to be pretty good. They did forget the Swiss, but I didn't even miss it. I didn't even notice until after I was done. I didn't have any problem with it, but might be worth mentioning that the garlic used was the minced garlic from the jar. Burgers come with chips unless you upgrade. read more

We were greeted immediately upon walking up and were allowed to choose our own seating. Waitress immediately went over to take our drink orders but gave us more time as we were not ready. It took a little while for her to come back to take our order, but our food came out promptly. It was very delicious but the portion size is not so great. The French toast are smaller than im used to and with how delicious it was, I was left wanting more. The milkshake was lacking. It just tasted like vanilla ocre cream mixed with chocolate syrup to get the chocolate flavor, with was subpar at best. We set outside which was a little chilly but cute and spacious. Our waitress was kind enough but never came back to check on us and when we asked her on two separate occasions for extra utensils and a straw, she never came back to deliver so that we had to flag someone else over to get them, as well as the check. Overall nice place to check out but I don't think it'll be in my list of places I'd crave to come back to. read more

A small, cozy spot for local families. My job requires me to be on the road and often times I look for spots in random neighborhoods for a quick lunch. More often than not, The solution is fast food but I've been making an extra effort to locate mom and Pop shops so at least my burger is fresh! I was greeted by a friendly waitress and had the opportunity to pick my own seat. I enjoyed a cheeseburger with a side of chips, but it appears that they are more known for breakfast items. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I've always seen this place for years and never really stopped by. One day I decided to take my mom out to brunch and we settled on this place because we needed to grocery shopping. My mom likes diners or something similar to this place. This place is pretty small, but hella charming. You can tell already by the people and the building that the food is going to smack. The server was hella nice and personable. She made sure to pay attention to everyone! I ended up ordering the biscuits and gravy, it's not like the south, but it was still hella good. If I go back, I would like to try a burger or the other lunch items. read more

Sitting At Home Wondering What To Have For Breakfast. Time Passed To Fast & Came At Lunch Time To Amy's Cafe In Hayward. They Have A Little Stand With An Umbrella Right In Front Of Their Cafe Entrance Where You Stand And Wait To Be Seated. Either Inside Or Outside. My Wait Time Was 15 Seconds! As Soon As You Walk Up Someone Comes Out And Greets & Ask Weather Youd Like To Sit Inside Or Outside. I Originally Chose To Sit Outside But Since There Was Already Someone Sitting Outside Wanting To Switch To Inside Due To Some Bees Flying Around I Also Chose To Sit Inside Instead. I Wanted To Enjoy My Food Also. Lol I Decided To Get A Mushroom Spinach Melt On Sourdough With Fries On The Side! The Food Came Out In 4-5 Minutes. That Was Awesome Since I Was Hungry! Plus The Melt Was Delcious! The Cafe Is Small Inside But Again They Do Have Outside Seating. For The Service, Definitely A 10/10. I Believe This Is A Family Owned & Ran Business. The Cook Is Amy Herself & She's Incredible! As I Was Enjoying My Meal. Customers Kept Coming In & She Automatically Called Some Of Them By Name. Loudly & Proudly! To Me That Was Awesome! To Have The Owner Know You On A First Name Basis. Also, To Rember What You Order Normally Is Pretty Amazing. Not Many Businesses Owners Have That Type Rappor Anymore. Definitely Coming Back With My Other Half. The Customer Service & Food Will Definitely Call You Back Also! read more

The setting here is a lovely little place, but they need to bring up the sanitation training and how to serve food. The toast was delivered first, then the plates about 8 minutes later. The kitchen is dirty. And they misuse gloves. The Ave plate is 16 $, and the place is packed on a Sat at 10 am; they can make money. Look at the small things, such as how often you change your gloves and wash your hands--wiping down all flat areas. The kitchen floor was not clean. I recommend finding alternative restroom options. Having to go through the kitchen to use the restroom is not a good thing. Unsanitary. I was told the restroom was clean. Thank God the lady was done and did not reveal herself to me. I know it's tough to have a place with limited ergonomics, but you have to do it. read more

My sister and I were heading to nearby Chapel of the Chimes for a funeral. I had just flown in and needed something to eat b4 the services. Amy's came up on the Yelp app so we decided to stop here. Its on Mission Blvd in Hayward. The first thing I noticed about the menu is that everything is pricey. Entrees are approximately $15, and they have steak & eggs for $26. I ordered the veggie omelette w/ fruit instead of potatoes. The omelette was average sized and was just ok. I have had better, and I have had worse. My sister ordered pancakes w/ sausage & eggs. I ate her leftover protein bc my meal didn't fill me up. Regarding the ambiance, Amy's is a hole in the wall. It sits in a small sub-complex in the strip mall, that is in the center. There isn't much space. Likewise, the service was friendly, warm and efficient. Our waitress was nice, and our food came out quickly. 3.5 Stars overall. Kudos to them for being a nice neighborhood place. But the prices are like a big city vs the burbs like Hayward. read more
