    The KITCEN

    They MOVED to 690 Railroad Ave. Pittsburgh CA. 94565 the new name "Lighthouse Cafe" food is still amazing and the people are so accommodating and attentive. Spread the word!

    A surprisingly good find! It was kind of sketchy finding the location, but trust the GPS. You have to use the sliding door to get in, then open another door to find the main part of the restaurant. The food was so good. I had an omelette and the waffle with ice cream. The service was prompt and very polite.

    So I've had this spot a couple of times already, introduced by the coworkers. Can't tell you anything about the location or any of that (( the pics look good, looks like it has open space, just have had it by the door dash only)) So the main things I've had from here are the onion rings, linguica, and the dam Henkel Breakfast Sandwich....dope like coke. literally. Talk about bang for the buck ESE Henkel sandwich comes fully loaded and it doesn't play.. sausage patty, egg, bacon, ham, top it off with hashbrowns and ayayayiiii nap time comes knocking at the door. pair that with some deep-fried thick onion rings. PINCHE FINITO You just can't say no. I know how it sounds but give it a try for sure won't let you leave hungry.

    I've driven by a couple times for the scenery, then I finally stopped for lunch. It's always so relaxing being by the water and the parked boats of just about any small harbor. Food here was excellent and the service was great! I have never thought to add tomato and avocado to a grilled cheese sandwich. Now after eating it here, I will definitely do it at home. I don't think mine will be as good as Big Daddy Ross'--they use sourdough for the grilled cheese and it is DA BOMB!!! Bathrooms are clean. Wheel chair accessible. Nice ambiance. Friendly staff and excellent customer service with a smile. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

    Bacon and Eggs

    I asked for grilled onions on my Avocado and Mushroom Hamburger, which was absolutely delicious. We sat near the kitchen and could see the great care the cooks, Jack and Arezki, took in making the food. My husband saw the burger and said the next time we return, he was would order the same hamburger and ask for grilled onions, as well. He had already ordered eggs, bacon and a Belgian waffle. This is his favorite thing to order here and they make great Belgian waffles. You want great breakfast and lunch food, this is THE place to go!!

    Half size classic breakfast
    Alyssa Mae L.

    Came in for lunch while visiting a friend in the Antioch area. Upon arriving, my friends and I were quite surprised to be pulling up to what just looked like a shipyard along the delta. Just keep following your directions and find parking close to the building with sign "cafe" on it and you'll be at the right place! Upon entering, we were told to pick wherever we wanted to sit. We were immediately attended to by 3 different waitresses, which felt super welcoming. I ordered a half size classic breakfast with sausages, a sunny side up egg, sourdough toast, and country potatoes. The toast came out buttered and tasted amazing with jam. The egg, sausage, and potatoes were just as expected - delicious but nothing amazing. I still left full and satisfied. A decent spot and a local business to support!

    I was like where is this place located?, when the GPS was taking me down on this narrow road by the small boat dock. It looks like this place is loved by the people who actually live on their boat by the dock. If there was not for yelp, people who are not familiar with the area would never know about this place. The covid protection was pretty good...hand sanitizer on every table....shield between tables and outdoor dining. The service was efficient and the food came out quick. I ordered a basic breakfast with French toast and my husband waffles. If you are looking for a classic diner with no frill, this place will serve you right!

    1/2 Biscuits & Gravy
    Kawehionapua Y.

    A hidden gem worth checking out. It's a small little spot down the marina and they serve you with a smile. Everyone is friendly, even the young teenagers who work there! My son and I stumbled upon this place one morning when I was not up for cooking breakfast. He enjoyed the French Toast combo - it came with french toast, eggs, and bacon (you can choose ham or sausage if you prefer), he said the bread was nice and soft, and it was soggy from the batter. That's a huge deal for him. I tried the Big Rossy Omelet, it was loaded with ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and cheese - swiss AND cheddar! It was served nice and hot, and each time you cut into the omelet for a bite, the cheese would be oozing out - sooooooooo good! We also split a side of the biscuits and gravy, which was good. The sauce was great, but the biscuit was a bit on the hard and dry side. But still, it had a good taste with the gravy. Anyways, if you're looking for a little family-oriented, hole-in-the-wall spot to check out, I recommend giving them a try.

    California omelette
    Evangelina B.

    This restaurant is definitely off the beaten path and you wouldn't know it was here unless you were looking for it! My friend and I found this place on Yelp for a brunch spot since we were going to be in the area to pick something up. I'm not familiar with this neighborhood so I just punched the address in the the GPS and off we went. When you get to the area it's off a small boat harbour and a somewhat industrial area and the building is somewhat hidden but just follow the road path to the building. When we entered we were sat right away. There seemed to be a full staff, this place can get busy according to one of the workers there. When we came it was moderately busy but they said it's usually more full, maybe because it was a hot day it kept people at bay? I ordered the California omelette with a side pancake. I really like breakfast spots that let you substitute a pancake even for an additional charge. Their coffee was really great as well! All in all the the service was excellent and I enjoyed the food as well! I recommend if you're looking for a great mom and pop breakfast spot!

    Belgian waffle
    Sabrina V.

    This is a hidden mom and pop shop in the bay point..you almost can't tell it exists because it blends in casually with the surrounding shipyard. They're open for indoor and outdoor dining, which is nice. Very small quaint place inside. This is a great cafe for breakfast and I highly recommend. The Belgian waffle with strawberry/banana deserves all the hype it gets. I ordered the chicken pesto omelet with egg whites and it was so good. They don't skimp on the cheese inside or any of the ingredients inside. The cheese pull inside e omelet is satisfying af. My other friends who came with me were also very impressed by the food (they all ordered omelets too). I'm taking out a star for service. Although the servers were really nice, I think they need to hire more staff.. they were really busy on Monday morning... it was kind of hard to just get seated, and they didn't have a lot of tables cleaned. They looked like they needed help, so my only suggestion is to hire some help. Nonetheless, I still recommend this place and the food is on point- 10/10 diner food, better than Diggers

    I had a day off from work today and I had this place on my radar. I heard about a special promo…read morethey are running until the end of this week for free fries, so what perfect time to give it a try. I came at opening, so I didn't have to wait in line. I ordered via the Kiosk, but the fries had me scan a QR code and answer some questions. After that, I waited for about 10 ish minutes before I got my food. The ladies were very nice and helpful, and they took care into preparing my food. Garden Burger: I enjoy the impossible meat when I can and this burger was huge. Besides the patty, I also got avocado, the other standard fixings and a fried eggplant. They also had mayo and bbq sauce as my spread. I don't know how, but I was able to eat the whole thing in one setting. It was juicy (as juicy an impossible burger can be) and delicious. The sauce held everything together and the extra spicy mayo I used for dipping brought the extra heat I needed. Overall, a delicious burger. Bulgogi Fries: This was complementary due to their promo and this was a huge portion. They made the bulgogi meat fresh to order and the same with my fries. Their plating was phenomenal. Overall, the fries were crispy and the sauce and meat were delicious. Overall, I can see myself coming here again. I should try a normal burger or I can try their chicken burger next time.

    I ordered the original burger and fries. Very tasty. Prices are average. Portion size was just…read moreright for me, but if you have a big appetite, this might be too small for you and you'll need to order more. Plenty of parking next to the park. This area has homeless, but it's fine during the day. The only issue I have with this place is the interior design and lighting. It's stale and unattractive with office lighting and horrible off-white colors. If they changed the aesthetic inside and make it more like an old-school burger joint, they would get a lot more business.
