Great local owned business in Hayward!…read more Rosy's is located in a small shopping center with ample parking spaces but it sure does get busy! I usually take my orders to go and place them over the phone. Almost always a short wait time and the food is nice and hot when I get it. Large portions and great tasting food. This is one of my go-to places for a delicious breakfast without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

Rosy's is one of favorite local restaurants. I had not been there in maybe a year because of health…read moreissues. Sunday was a treat! I always order the same thing- no menu needed. Chile verde omelet w/corn tortillas and a waffle. I remembered to bring my own carry out containers. They use the brown cardboard type which soaks up any juice before getting it home. Immediately, I separated my meal in half. Now, I have TWO delicious meals. I also remembered to bring my flavored coffee creamer, lime and hot sauce- I don't like Tabasco. I'm ready! Although I enjoyed my meal, these were items of disappointment: 1. I know they were constantly brewing coffee, but it tasted burnt, as if had been sitting for a long time. I was not able to "doctor" it up. I think it's a very poor quality of coffee :-(... For the price of that tiny cup of coffee, they need to do better! 2. My omelet was waaaaay smaller than ever before! It was like a two egg omelet and noticeably flat, unlike the usual omelet "hump". The Chile verde sauce was more sauce than chunks of pork. Small pieces of pork more like the size of dice! and very little of that! 3.My greatest disappointment was the potatoes!!! In the past, I loved their TRUE home fries- cubes of potatoes fried/sautéed just so, with onions, bell peppers. I often ordered a separate order of home fries to go, because I ate most of the ones that came with the meal. To my surprise, the meal came with "sliced fried potatoes", which had a greasy taste- I mean GREASy! taste. Some of them were so hard, I had to use my knife. I commented about the potatoes- the lack of onions/peppers and I was bought a side of them, but they were hard, just slightly grilled. So my home fries experience was a huge let down :'-( 4. Still one of the best waffles anywhere! Rosy's waffles are somewhere in my top 3 restaurant waffles!! Soft and spongy, evenly cooked- no need for a lot of butter and/or syrup. Note: One of the few Mexican restaurants that doesn't automatically offer/promote salsas with the meal. At home, I love a bit of salsa with my scrambled eggs with cheese. I first tried this years ago, in a Mexican restaurant and loved it. I will return at some point, maybe I'll try another item... but always a waffle!

I'll definitely be back to try something new. Come early to be the rush. If you have to wait it'll be worth it.

There's outdoor seating too if you don't want to wait for indoors. I ordered the hazelnut iced coffee which was creamy and refreshing. My country fried steak was so incredibly tender and I loved that the gravy wasn't overly salted like other restaurants. My husband's Philly cheesesteak looked amazing as well and he finished it all! The wait staff is attentive and kind, frequently asking if we were enjoying our meal. If you want a no frills just solid quality breakfast (or lunch), this is the spot. Can't go wrong with anything from their extensive menu!

The food was delicious, portions were huge, and I'd definitely come back -- especially to finally try the prime rib next time!

Once you walk inside, you get in line to order your food, & after you get your food, choose any of the empty tables to sit at. This format reminds me a lot of Disneyland/California Adventure. I ordered the baked ham, bleu cheese salad, and mashed potatoes. My family each got a different type of meat. The collective favorite was definitely the brisket. I'd definitely come back one day! We all really enjoyed our time here.

The service employees are very kind and were patient as I was super indecisive when ordering. The menu is HUGE , with many healthy options available. I love that the drinks are served in traditional Mexican clay mugs (ollas). The inside area is tiny, but there is plenty of seating outside, with heat lamps for chilly days. I love their yogurt bowl and chia bowl. Their chia pudding is THICK made with coconut cream- I've tried to recreate at home and I can't get it as delicious. We've loved their sandwiches, salads and burritos as well. Their warm come straight off the grill on the patio. Their chai, cafe de olla and fresh juices are amazing. They have alternative milk for anyone who is dairy free. On weekends, expect a 15-20 minute wait as they do get busy, but it's so worth it!

Unfortunately, I was seated towards the back, on the side with the restrooms and all I could smell was the plumbing; it was nasty. I know it's an old building, I've been into places where they get that kind of musty smell, this permeated the whole meal. Occasionally, a cheap candle burning to the left of me (probably to mask the smell) would waft over, and that was almost as gross as the plumbing scent. The server was very friendly once she greeted me, and I really liked her, with one suggestion: she needs to learn not to lean her bottom on the tables while taking orders from other patrons. I was seated at the table. My breakfast arrived. I looked to my right and she's got her cheeks on my table. I questioned whether it was just the spacing, or maybe her hoodie, but she straightened up and then sat them back again. Enough about the ambience. The food: I ordered the skilletz special with French toast, eggs over medium, bacon, and country potatoes - I asked for Extra crispy. The food arrived quickly, maybe too quickly. It looked beautiful, but went south quickly from there. The moment I popped into the yolk it was completely overrun by wet egg white, which makes me nauseous. I hate slimy whites, hence the request for over-medium. I ate maybe 3 bites around the edge and tried to get to some yolk but I was gonna be sick with the river of whites. The bacon was good and crispy. My country potatoes tasted like they'd been scooped out of a bin that had been sitting and steaming for a long while. There was zero crisp to a single bite of it. They had not even warmed them up again. Unfortunately, same goes for the French toast. I can live with the sandwich bread French toast if it has some moisture and flavor. I know some restaurants use plain white bread, but it was cold and dry - not like cooled down because it sat there for a minute; remember, the food came out quickly. If it had been freshly made, it should've been piping hot, but it wasn't even lukewarm - the whipped butter didn't even melt a little (see the pic). In fact, parts of it tasted cold like they make the French toast and potatoes in bulk in the morning and then keep them in a bin and throw some onto a grill to warm up but they didn't warm mine up. The hottest thing out of all of my food was the syrup. I had to douse the toast in syrup to try to warm it up a little bit. Again, maybe 3 bites and done. All in all, I'm sad. It was a real disappointment. The tab was $27+6 for tip.... I expect freshly prepared food at that price. It does look to do good business.

My wife and I started going to Anna's around 2015, after she moved from Sunnyvale to Hayward. We're…read morebig breakfast people, and we loved spending our Saturday and Sunday mornings there. Unfortunately, repeated experiences with one waitress eventually made us stop coming. Most of the other waitresses were always friendly and professional, but ordering through this particular employee--especially over the phone--consistently felt difficult. The recurring issue was ordering breakfast burritos with hot links. She would often tell us that wasn't an option, even though other staff accommodated the request. On a few occasions, she agreed to the order, but the burritos we received were poorly put together and nothing like what we expected. I can't speak to her intentions, but the repeated problems left us feeling unwelcome. It's disappointing because we have good memories of Anna's and believe the location has a lot of potential. More consistent service and better organization would make a real difference. A small outdoor patio could also be a great addition, if feasible. Based on our experiences, I can't give more than two stars. We haven't returned in a long time, but I would welcome a conversation with the owner and would consider coming back if these concerns were addressed.

Drive-up burger joint with a cult-worthy double patty: Val's might be my new Bay Area #1…read more I only moved to Castro Valley this summer, so I'm still working through the East Bay burger scene. Before this, my top spot belonged to Hinano Burger in Marina del Rey, way down in the SoCal/LA area. Val's Burgers in Hayward just knocked it off the throne. I expected a regular burger with frozen patties. What I got tasted fresh, like hand-formed beef, with a real sear and a juicy pink center. The $27 Papa Burger is a double-patty stack drowned in melted cheese. It's pricey, but it's huge and lasted me three meals, so it's worth every penny. The cheese is borderline overwhelming. I had to pause mid-burger with a cholesterol headache, and I'd still order it again. The $8 fries come stuffed in a paper bag, plenty to share. The vanilla milkshake was thick, creamy, and divine. **Know before you go:** - **Cash only.** Call in your order. - It's mostly a drive-up, park-and-grab takeout spot, with some outdoor tables in the back. - Service is friendly and efficient. Someone came out to take our order even though it's takeout. - The menu is now just burgers, fries, and shakes. The vintage sign still advertises hotcakes, steaks, and fish, but those are gone. The retro signage and the "Stop & Relax" clock make the place feel like a time capsule. If you're hunting for the best burger in Hayward or the East Bay, go here. Bring cash and an appetite.
