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

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

    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. Atmosphere was pleasant. Typical of a busy diner. 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. Atmosphere was "worn". Service was excellent. I won't be back but if you dine here, maybe get a short stack with bacon?

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

    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.

    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. If you love the 50's classic music and retro flare you will dig this diner. 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.

    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.

    French Toast was so delicious

    Love coming to this establishment with my gal. Food is cooked the way you would want it always tasty and scrumptious. Will I be back you know I will probably next week. See ya there

    Second time going there I went for breakfast over all it was good everything had good flavor I love the old classic car theme in there we need more restaurants like this I'll be back again. Great place and not too pricey.

    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. 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. (Not sure if they probably forgot to clean it that day since not everyone dines outside.)

    Biscuits and gravy

    Love this place. Food is always on point. Cooks they know what they are doing. Would I recommend. Heck yes I would I went today and already planning to go on Friday. You will not be disappointed.

    Really amazing breakfast place that has been around since the 90s. The service is so speedy and…read moreseamless between staff from the moment we walked in, everyone is so attentive. The food came in what felt like a few minutes after we ordered and everything was hot and comforting. I ordered the country fried steak which comes with toast, potatoes and eggs your way. The gravy was so smooth and done well, the potatoes are sweetened which was interesting. The only reason this wasn't a 5 star for me was the country fried steak wasn't the tastiest, it was okay but the best that I've had in terms of texture and seasoning. I am very opened to returning to try their omelette. Portions are big here.

Walking in, the place had that classic Black Bear Diner feel -- cozy, welcoming, and full of that hearty breakfast energy that makes you feel like you're about to leave happy and full. My buddy went with the 3-egg combo omelet with hash browns, and I ordered an omelet loaded with a few different kinds of meat. Both plates knocked it out of the park. Everything was cooked perfectly, hot, and packed with flavor. The hash browns had that great crispy texture and the omelets were big, hearty, and exactly what you want when you're in the mood for a solid breakfast. The service here was excellent and very attentive. Our waiter was fantastic and kept checking in on us to make sure everything was good without ever being overbearing. The whole place was very clean and well organized, which always makes the experience that much better. Parking was easy to find and the location was simple to get in and out of. If you're in Fremont and craving a big, classic breakfast that hits the spot, this is definitely a solid place to stop. I can see why my friend keeps coming back.

I went there with a group of friends and we sat down to grab lunch. I ordered the Bob's burger and the waiter asked me what kind of cheese I wanted for the $20 burger. (which for a burger you would think it would come standard) We get our food and it was very very mediocre with the fries being stale, and the burger patty having no flavor. The other items were very small and had very small portions for the price that they were being charged. Not once through the entire meal, did the waiter come back to refill our waters or ask how we were doing (which I can overlook, but was something of note) When we got the bill, it turns out I got charged 4 extra dollars because adding cheese upgraded your burger to the deluxe, which was not communicated ahead of the time and they added bacon which was very salty and unpleasant. The waiter was clearly trying to upsell without telling. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience and I don't recommend anyone come to this establishment, especially when the worker in question is working. This was the first time being at this restaurant and overall the atmosphere was ok just the service needed improvement.

    Best breakfast in Fremont!…read more After driving past multiple times, we decided to try out the last breakfast restaurant we haven't tried in Fremont and it did not disappoint. We were seated immediately and the staff were extremely nice. The Dinos country fried steak special was delicious and full of flavor. It wasn't anywhere near as salty as I expected with the bacon and country fried steak and cheese in it. They put the perfect amount of butter on the toast that guarantees a happy food dance. When you ask for crispy bacon, you get CRISPY BACON. We have not had any that gets it as crispy and perfect. When you order anything with fruit, it's an actual array of fruit and not like 4 pieces of melon and 1 strawberry. Our waitress was extremely helpful with all our questions and very kind. The rest of the staff were very present and easy to flag over for any questions or requests. Our drinks were constantly being filled and plates were being cleared very swiftly. If you order anything to go or as a side to your meal, please try the blue cheese dressing. It's made in house and was so good we had to ask for some to go. I can't wait to go back. So delicious!!

I also ordered the half order or at this restaurant "fun" size I think Is what it said on the menu, of the tres leches French toast.

The parking situation here can be very difficult during the busy times of eating. I N S I D E It's a diner! Yes it feels like an old school diner with a bar area and booths to sit in. They do have a restroom if you need it. M E N U It's a fairly extensive menu with all your good ol' diner food from breakfast fare to lunch. That day I decided I'd get the 50/50 (2 bacon & 2 sausage) with over easy eggs, hashbrowns and sourdough bread. Pricing feels a little bit on the high side, but to be honest it's been so long since I've been to a diner that this might be normal. How was it? It was good! The hashbrowns a tad bit oily, but I was expecting that. Eggs good, bacon crispy, sausage bouncy. S E R V I C E It was warm, friendly and lovely. The wait though was uff. So if you can send out someone early to scout the line or I'm unsure if they can put your name down as you drive over. But the wait times can get really long. I think we waited about an hour or maybe 40-ish min? But this was a Sunday at lunch time and we had 4 people. We actually paid by cash which was easier for all of us and we didn't need change back.
