    How cheap !Billy's cuts their cupholders in half!This ended up all over the place! How cheap can you be at your customers expense!

    Cheap and stingy! They cut their cupholders in half! My drinks went everywhere! How cheap! At your customers expense! Never again!

    Ordered through Uber Eats, and everything arrived on time and well-packaged. I tried Pano's Omelette, which was good but nothing particularly special -- tasty, just not overly memorable. The portion size could definitely be a bit bigger for the price, but the food quality itself was solid and fresh. I'd still consider ordering from here again, maybe trying a different breakfast item next time.

    OH BOY this was SO good. The cannoli French toast had an amazing filling, the chicken and waffles were perfect. My hashbrowns were crisped just right. The lattes were DELICIOUS. I had a chocolate covered strawberry one and OMG. I want another! The service was impeccable and everything came So Very quickly. I couldn't believe it. 10/10 would be back again!

    Incredible. We just happened to see this driving through town, and we're very glad we did. All three in the party loved our food and ate every last bite. The San Marino Eggs Benedict got rave reviews. The kids grilled cheese was great. And the burger was cooked to perfection. During our meal, it started raining halfway through so we got to experience the indoor and outdoor dining areas. You cannot go wrong sitting at either one. Great ambience and great atmosphere.

    The food is plentiful and delicious. Service was spot on. Clean modern restaurant. The food was hot. And follow up services was plentiful.

    Arguably the finest diner in the area! They source all their ingredients locally from farms. I really enjoy the friendly and welcoming ambiance, with attentive service staffs who are always there to help you. The dining experience highlights the freshness of their omelette dish; notably the thick and fluffy toast and perfectly crispy yet tender hash browns, subtly enhanced with butter and onion! I also really enjoyed their lightly roasted black coffee here - perfectly balanced with the meal. Definitely forward to returning to sample more of their brunch offerings!

    Overall, I would give this place between three and four stars. I think service was five out of five, menu selection was five out of five, but flavor was three out of five. Although it's called a diner, I was pleasantly surprised to see a semi upscale interior, at least among the booth seats. Very friendly and communicative staff. Some street parking available, but nothing directly reserved for the restaurant. A good place to go if you're looking for something to it the breakfast/brunch scratch, but unfortunately, the flavors left a decent amount to be desired. Personally, I wish that there were more vegan options as I was not exactly in the mood for pancakes or something sweet. Maybe it's my stomach upset talking after eating eggs for the first time in a long time, but the texture with the cheeses and sauce was no bueno for me. My friend loved the hollandaise sauce, though. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. If someone asked me out for brunch, I'd try a different place first, but I wouldn't be opposed to coming back here altogether. Again, very nice staff, just not the most satisfying of breakfasts. The Greek coffee was a little bit gritty, which is possibly by design, but I really loved the dirty chai. It wasn't too sweet and it reminded me of drinking liquified gingerbread. Almond available, no soy.

The smell of fresh coffee is everywhere and a positive vibe is present. We sat down quickly in the farthest booth, our preference. I had a nice view of the patrons, the street, and the kitchen. I noticed the amount of dessert on the counter, and later learned they were made in house, and if I am not wrong, this place is known for their desserts. We ordered a pretty standard diner breakfast and everything was perfect. As usual, and not to say that I am complicated, I had my order customized, and the server graciously accommodated me. After all, great service means a bigger tip. We were very satisfied. I got to visit a true diner, have a good meal, get a feel of the community, and the chance to help that community with my business. After all, diners, just like breweries, are traditionally American institutions for community exchange, much like the town's inn or the pub, if we were in the British lands.

I ordered French onion soup and the Golden Gate special (1/4 lb burger and fries). The soup was savory and the burger was juicy. The fries were a bit undercooked, but $6.50 for a burger and fries is a great deal. Pickup and delivery are both available.

Today I did just that, and I'm happy I did. The girl who helped me was very friendly and helpful. It was almost like a house inside, dark wood all throughout and the kitchen nearly looked like a residential kitchen. This was $4.70 and had 2 big slices of the Jersey meat on it with egg and plenty of cheese on a pretty solid Kaiser. I was shocked at the cost for such large slices of meat on there, and the roll makes or breaks the sandwich for me and this passed the test. Video is going out tonight, but it definitely Didn't Suck

This is a family run business and you can tell by the excellent staff and friendly atmosphere the moment you walk in.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, potato, onion, and cheese on a roll and a side of has homefries with onions. The sandwich was big and delicious. The homefries looked like typical homefries I've gotten elsewhere, but for some reason these were soooo good. One of the best tasting breakfasts I've had.

The atmosphere was very nice, our server was engaging , and the featured entrees had great flavor. Unfortunately we both ordered the highly recommended oysters for our appetizers. $23.00/6 x 2 When served they were essentially oyster skins with no substance. We mentioned this to our server who agreed that this batch was unusually very small. We made mention of our disappointment to the hostess at our departure. She was kind enough to remove 1 order from our final bill which still left us paying $23.00/0 oysters.. If the product is not consistent with advertised expectations, apologize for this inconvenience and remove from current availability. Hopefully you can address this issue better for other guests.

It was a rainey day so I was hoping they weren't too busy. We lucked up with a Park Mobile space right in front of the restaurant! :) We were immediately greeted and taken to a table upon entrance. The spot is cozy and open and we were able to carry on a private conversation across the table from each other even with other diners close by. Our waitress was wonderful and I wish I could have remembered her name. She was engaging, informative and provided professional, friendly service. It was Summer restaurant week but we opted for à la carte and ordered from the appetizer and sandwich sections. I opted for the Blacked Chicken Quesadillas. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful and complicated all the other normal quesadilla ingredients. We shared the perfectly GBD fried cauliflower and opted for the buffalo sauce. Great choice. My niece chose the Roasted Turkey & Brie sans the bacon. She said they use real oven roasted turkey and not deli slices and enjoyed it immensely. We both took half our orders to go. I would definitely return when we are in town because I saw several other menu options I want to try.
