    12 oz ribeye steak, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and sourdough toast.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy the outdoor seating when bicycling around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is friendly. Potions are a good size. Come hungry!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]50's style diner. Enjoy your meal with music from the 50's playing at a low volume in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had linguica, eggs and country potatoes.Restaurant is in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. Food was delicious and service very good.

    Liquidy Smoked Salmon Benefict
    Kevin M.

    Props to the chef. I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict. It was amazing. Simply not overdone. Liquidy. Perfection. The sauce was excellent. Can't say enough about the hash browns as well. Perfection. Nicely browned where it needed to be. Some crispy, some not. Just the way it should be. The coffee was nice and strong. The service was quite excellent. Attentive, but not overly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was pleasant. Typical of a busy diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be back soon!!!

    ##5. Biscuit and Gravy Breakfast Special
    Dustin B.

    I don't know how pre-scrambled egg product, canned gravy (possibly a mix) and spongy food service biscuits resemble a 50s diner but here we are. I'll just talk about what was good. The bacon was great - irregularly shaped bacon slices perfectly rendered with chewy and crispy parts. The single pancake I ordered for my girlfriend was excellent. I loved the malty background flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was "worn".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was excellent. I won't be back but if you dine here, maybe get a short stack with bacon?

    My boyfriend and I like coming here when we're running errands in the Fremont area. The service here is really good! They are very friendly and your food comes out quicker than other diners for sure! The quality of the food is also great however the last time I came here I tried their French toast & I felt like it was missing more cinnamon & egg. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also decided to dine outdoors as the weather was nice and since they had tables outside with umbrellas which was convenient but we noticed that the table was very dusty[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. (Not sure if they probably forgot to clean it that day since not everyone dines outside.)

    A snapshot of the 50's diner

    Hello, 50's diner is a hit if you love Americana and Mexican cuisine. They have a menu that has classic dishes like pigs in a blanket, or chorizo and eggs just to name a few. They have lunch items that are a favorite and are full of fresh ingredients. They have a well rounded menu, that will delight your appetite, and the service that is on par too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you love the 50's classic music and retro flare you will dig this diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed pigs in a blanket which was a huge dish that you could share. Hamburger and fries, our milkshake was creamy and sweet. Give them a try for some diner fair in Fremont.

    Great place to get breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, coffee very good. Service excellent. And not too crowded. You get your food fast. I give this place a 5 stars.

    This spot has a super friendly staff, and attentive. The food was great. They had a green salsa WOW. That is a must have on your plate. A solid 4.7 in my books. I need to tr a few more things on the menu. Updates incoming.

    Pretty good parking. Definite diners vibe, diner tables and seats, photos of actors and cars and locals. It gets pretty packed but the flow is pretty good so you're not waiting long. Once you come, you seat yourselves. We only found tables that were just vacated but someone came over quickly to clean it up for us. They are always coming around to fit your coffee mug. There wasn't really a kids menu that we saw in case you're coming with kids. You could always do a bunch of sides though. They've got a senior citizens menu. Food was great. Big portions. The cornbeef hash is made in the style I like. It was delicious! Pancakes were nice and fluffy. The aisles are pretty tight so not necessarily that accessible, but they do have tables outside that are accessible. You go up to the counter to pay. Love this local staple.

Plenty of parking in this plaza, interesting tidbit is the liquor store right door sells some Australian and New Zealand products such as Australian corned beef. I don't normally like battered fries and just prefer them normal but they are very good here. I also quite liked the more normal sized burger that don't overfill you though I am sure most people would want them bigger. AMERICAN BURGER: Like a traditional American Cheese Burger, Beef Patty Seasoned with Freshly ground black pepper and salt. Meat was great and the bun was soft but it was a too soggy for us. BEEF CHEESE PARATHA COMBO: Stuffed with seasoned beef and melted cheese, grilled to crispy perfection. Very minimal beef and cheese was used. Tasted good with the yogurt and pickles but it there was so little ingredients I'm almost sure I would have liked the normal version more. 6 piece chicken wings: Well cooked and delicious, the "original" was a bit normal in flavor but I liked it dipped in their yogurt and their special sauce we asked for on the side.

I did see prices gone up, but that's the least of my concerns. Honestly, I could have come back here a bit more often, but was busy dining in newer places. I love how Habit is being consistent in terms of food and service while they changed the atmosphere. In my opinion, it's better than how it usually was, which seems to be more old fashioned. It's like we're getting closer to the shore or something. They also replaced the soda fountain machine, which is better than the one they usually have. Just like many restaurants, maybe we're just evolving and adapting to new technologies.

I had their Chicken sandwich. It was one which did not have a "spice" warning logo... but underneath the deliciously crispy batter, there was a very noticeable spice (my tolerable spice level is hot Cheetos, and this was slightly spicier than that). Beyond the spice, the chicken itself was spectacularly cooked. The interior was quaint. They had two large posters with a few tv's one playing Ted Talks without sound. They also had a prayer area which i thought was nice and well maintained. The bathroom: A single person restroom tucked in the back of the storage hallway. (The same hallway the staff uses to go to the back of the kitchen). It is decently clean with a larger sink and a toilet that even has a bidet. Above the door, there is a sprayer nozzle that is a bit worrisome since anyone who enters the restroom walks directly underneath this. The kitchen had an obnoxiously loud mechanical squeaking noise... not sure what it was but we just tried to ignore it (which was very difficult to do). The order: The Big G (Chicken Sandwich) -Had a large, thick, and very juicy fried chicken. The batter is knurled with a great crunch! Even though it had some heat, it was delicious!!! If you want more heat, there are options on the menu. This could easily be the best chicken sandwiches I have had in the area... if it weren't spicy. Comes with a side, and I chose seasoned fries (the seasoning turns out to be very spicy). Combo 1 -This combo comes with 2pc bone in chicken and a side. This chicken comes with the same deliciously crunchy batter as the Big G, and it too has a spice level I was not expecting. As for the side, this time I went with regular fries, and it helped tremendously to cool down my mouth from all the hot spices/seasonings going on. Definitely worth a try if you can handle and enjoy hot Cheetos. But if you can't, then I recommend skipping this one. But the delicious chicken batter might be worth the spice pain.

I've been coming to Nation's in Fremont since I was a kid, so this review comes from someone who has always enjoyed eating here. It's one of my favorite burger spots, which is why this visit was disappointing. The burger was noticeably smaller than I remember and had only a small amount of lettuce. The chili cheese fries also seemed like a much smaller portion than they used to be. For dessert, I ordered cheesecake, but the soggy strawberries on top took away from it. Even though this wasn't one of my better visits, I still appreciate the rewards program. Their points app is easy to use, and I was able to redeem a free birthday slice of pie, which was a nice perk. The vibe was nice and the service was nice also . I'm hoping this was just an off day, because Nation's has been a favorite of mine for many years. I know how good the food can be, and I look forward to seeing the portions and quality return to what I expect.
