    Small diner (like less than 10 tables inside) that feels homey with all the random decor that don't really make sense. The order came fast, but unfortunately, our hashbrowns we're not crispy how we requested. Also, their maple syrup didn't taste like anything. It was too watery. We ended up taking the French toast home for better syrup. The food was good but nothing memorable, esp for the prices.

    But serving! Fluffy pancakes

    Ok let's start with the amazing owner's customer service and warm welcome. This is a local cafe we found on Google. We had an hour to eat between my kid's game! Loved everything about here. Most important, the service we received added to the taste of the food. Will definitely come back here if in the area. Despite it was busy, they took care of every customer in a unique way! Love the fall decors, very family friendly!

    My son was craving pancakes this morning, so we wandered into this little breakfast spot that was already buzzing early. Nothing fancy. Mismatched mugs, random photos on the walls but the kind of place where the staff knows everyone's order before they sit down. It felt like a movie scene. Different people, different stories, all crammed into this tiny room over coffee and eggs. It was chaotic, warm, and oddly comforting. Reminded me I still need to learn how to make pancakes, but until then, this place feels like home.

    This is a small hidden gem, located is a cozy neighborhood. Service and food were 10/10. I will definitely be coming back. Loved how they have different styles of mugs as well as their wall art. This place has its own style and I am here for itn

    Just a typical small diner. I went here for brunch with my family. We ordered a waffle with eggs and bacon, a grilled cheese sandwich with fries, and the McBryde omelette. Waffle, bacon, and eggs were pretty standard. The grilled cheese was kind of sad, with not much cheese. The omelette felt more like scrambled eggs laid on top off avocados and bacon. The servers were nice. I feel like we might have felt better about everything if we didn't have to wait 40 minutes after ordering to get our food. I'm not sure if the wait is always this long. A server said something to another table about phone orders and cooking for next door, so maybe next door had an event or something?

    Down-to-earth, unpretentious eats. I planned on pancakes but then the waitress walked by with a chicken fried steak and it was love at first sight. Tasty coffee, crispy hash browns and genuinely friendly service too.

    I have been hoping up try this place for a while after hearing good reviews. We came in around brunch time. There were only two other people inside but soon the whole place filled up. They only had one server so service was a little slow but she did let us know she had called for backup and a while later a second server came. I had the Tito's waffle without the bananas it was delicious. I debated getting a side of bacon because it was $5 but I relented and I am so glad I did that bacon was thick and so good and worth the price. My husband had the club sandwich with onion rings. I tried the sandwich it was very good and the onion rings were hot and good too. We will definitely come back here again.

    Love this place and the family who owns/runs it! Enjoy an easy going morning and get to know the staff here. Their potatoes are prepared fresh every morning and you can taste the difference. When I step inside, they make me feel at home because they already know my order (chicken omelet)

    Gluten free menu?

    They do have Gluten-Free bread and the owner is knowledgeable about celiac... no GF pancakes I'm afraid but can get GF French toast.

    Open by the weekend? hopefully for memorial day for sure!

    Yes

When maps directed me to here, I was shocked. Stepped in there was 1 party so I said great its not busy. As we took a seat, I kept hearing the online ordering beeps while the nice young man was there checking them. Alan came around and handed us menus and since my little one is into chicken or country fried steak, its the first thing I asked him when he greeted us. Ordered the food and observed hes the only o ne cleaning tables, greeting, processing the online orders and waiting. Hes truly a star and is great at what he does. Food is fresh and delicious. Did not disappoint. Kudos to Alan

I…read morereviewed yelp to find something close that maybe we hadn't tried, and I found Mely's with the amazing rating of 4.3 stars. We've lived in Hercules for over 30 years and are creatures of habit, so it was nice to venture the 10-minute drive to San Pablo. We were not impressed by the exterior strip mall building, but the interior of Mely's is very cute, homey, and clean. (I even peeked into the kitchen since the door was open.) I wanted pancakes, but got waffles instead since W ordered the blueberry buttermilk stack. We both had a side of eggs, his scrambled and mine sunny side up. The eggs were delish; mine in particular was perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy edges, a beautiful, silky, runny yolk, and no uncooked whites. The blueberry pancakes are so good! Of course they are huge and I ate some of them in addition to my waffle. We could have split just the pancakes and been perfectly happy. They cook berries inside the homemade batter and top them with a house-made blueberry compote. Maple syrup and soft butter on the side. The waffles are crispy outside with a light, airy, center, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I had strawberries on the side (+$5 !!). Since I ate some of W's pancakes, we took half the waffles home. W had a drip coffee--no decalf available so I had the fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a large glass so I took half of that home, too. The coffee was nothing to rave about, but it was coffee. Service was friendly and efficient--there is only one cook and one server, and it seems several of us arrived at the same time on this Sunday morning. Overall a wonderful find that we will return to so we can explore more dishes. We saw omelets and Benedict's come out that looked amazing! Plus, I want to try the dinner menu, which also looked pretty amazing.

As a Richmond local, I've spent a decent of time chasing real good beer and comfort food around the Bay, and this place delivered. We started with my favorite cucumber salad and a couple Fieldwork IPAs (the regular West Coast IPA, not hazy). Then came the fish & chips. Honestly, fish (unless it is extraordinary) doesn't usually get me excited, but this was the standout. The batter was light, crispy, and steaming hot, with two good-sized pieces of fish per order. Add lemon and malt vinegar and it was game over. The fries were great, too, but the fish was the surprise. In fact, I liked it so much I ordered a second plate. At $28, it's more of a treat than a habit, but when I find great fish & chips, I'm all in. The setting doesn't hurt, either. Sitting above Point San Pablo Harbor with the boats gently rocking below is about as relaxing as Richmond gets. Then Los Bahianatos!! started playing cumbia and completely won over the crowd. Before long people were happy & dancing and sticking around longer than they probably planned. Good beer, great fish & chips, live music, and a waterfront view. Hard to complain about any of that.

Their french toast was also a pleasant surprise. And the fried chicken was delicious! Crispy and juicy. Honestly one of the best fried chickens I've had. Breakfast potatoes had a slight crisp and were cooked well. The jamon omelette was ok... not exciting. In fact, a little disappointing since everything else was sooo good. Wish there had been more flavor there; I was also thrown off by the chunks of Brie cheese in there. The peppers, jamon and Brie definitely did not play well together. Came here right at 9:26 a.m. with friends after we ended a hike early due to a swarm of bees chasing out hikers ahead of us and then swarming the rest of the trail. We thought we were gonna be the restaurant openers since they open at 9:30 a.m. but there was already a line of about 12 people! We eventually were in some seats by 9:50 a.m. The restaurant is cafeteria style where you order at the cashier, pay and then get a number so your food can be delivered to your table. I get why this is the spot for brunch on Shattuck. Very cute inside, cozy patio seating. Wish their menu was more well-rounded--even for less popular brekky items.
