We were initially told they accepted only cash, which would have been fine, but I didn't have any with me. The waiter then directed me to pay through the QR code on the table. When I noticed the prices were higher through that system, he assured me a discount would offset the difference. However, that discount was never applied. Between the uncomfortable conditions and the unfulfilled promise, I will not be returning.

STILL GREAT ELEVEN YEARS LATER ============================…read more I had a craving for pastrami, so my husband and I drove fifty million miles to go to Brent's. The service and food are still perfect. The customers are loyal and you can tell they've been customers for a long time. My husband and I felt like the youngest ones in there today, so that was uplifting. We'll keep returning like everyone else and we'll end up being the oldest ones in there eventually.

For those of you who live in the SFV, you know that good breakfast spots are hard to come by and if you do know any, you've already been there a thousand times. While searching for something new, I stumbled across this spot! My boyfriend and I love old diners like these so we decided to give it a try. I won't lie to you, pulling up and seeing it was at a Galpin dealership kind of threw us off lol But OMG this place was amazing! Right off the bat, the ambiance was so nice, like stepping into a time machine and being back in the 60s. We were greeted so warmly and decided to sit at the bar to get the full experience. Upon looking at the menu, they had more than just breakfast. They had burgers, sandwiches, melts, steaks and more! GET IT AT GALPIN Now, the chefs. Just by looking at them through the pass, I knew I was about to have the greatest food I've ever tasted.. I ordered the griddle combo with french toast, my boyfriend ordered the huevos rancheros and we got a pastrami melt to share, and it was life changing. The butter just melted on the french toast paired with the warm syrup on the side... o m g I tried the orange juice and thought "that is freshly squeezed" and look up to find a machine squeezing fresh oranges, amazing. Our server Sesy was so attentive and even gave us a slice of homemade banana cream pie for my boyfriend's birthday! (all their pies are homemade btw) Can't even be mad at the prices cause I got exactly what I paid for, worth every penny! This is definitely a new favorite spot we'll be coming to a thousand more times :) 10/10 Food 10/10 Service GET IT AT GALPIN

I've been coming to Horseless Carriage at Galpin since the early 2000s and honestly one of the…read morethings that amazes me is that the quality really hasn't changed! I ended up purchasing a car from Galpin last year, so I've had even more opportunities to stop by Horseless Carriage over the past year, and it's still just as good as I remember. Whether I'm there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the food is always fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. You can tell there's a real standard for the food here, and I think it's far above what you normally expect from a restaurant connected to a dealership. Geovanni is also fantastic, especially when it comes to restaurant standards and catering. He's incredibly detailed and makes sure everything is taken care of, and his staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy being there, and you can tell. I also love that whenever I'm here, I see so many familiar faces. There are clearly a ton of regulars, and the restaurant is busy all the time. To me, that says a lot more than anything else could. People keep coming back because of the relationships they've built with the staff and the consistency of the experience. After coming here for more than 20 years, I can honestly say the quality is still there. You can tell the family takes a lot of pride in this restaurant, and it shows. It's one of those places where you know you're going to get a good meal every time, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Cheers to consistency!

First time here, and it definitely won't be my last…read more The food was flavorful, freshly made, and hit the spot. My coworkers ordered the Chicken Gangjeong in both the Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy flavors. I only had a bite of each, but both were juicy and seemed to be made with dark meat chicken. The Soy Garlic was actually sweeter than the Sweet & Spicy, which caught me off guard, while the Sweet & Spicy had more of a mild heat than an overwhelming kick. I ordered the Grandma Tteokbokki at spice level 2 and added melted cheese and ramen. Those add-ons were absolutely worth it. The cheese made the sauce extra creamy, while the ramen soaked up all of the flavor and turned it into a hearty, comforting meal. Spice level 2 had a nice kick without overpowering the dish, making it easy to enjoy from start to finish. Overall, everything we tried was satisfying, and I'd happily come back to work my way through more of the menu. If you're ordering the tteokbokki, I definitely recommend adding the cheese and ramen--you won't regret it.

The owners are retiring and the entire time we were there a steady stream came to wish them well, get hugs and pictures and enjoy a final meal. Repeatedly I heard people were driving great distances to say goodbye. Our food was very good and the portions generous. They were out of a few "made from scratch" items, like the family meatloaf, but I didn't mind, this was just a chance to experience the live the community felt for this hard working family. Classic interior, 70s SoCal diner, kept clean and running efficiently since 1979. It seems all the family members were pitching in for the final week. My only regret is we didn't come sooner. Congratulations on a successful business and have a wonderful retirement, Yuk & Sue. Cheers! "CC"

Hello, We were genuinely excited to support this small…read moreAsian-owned business before it closes, but instead I'm writing my first-ever 1 star review. After waiting in line in the heat, we were met with an employee whose attitude was rude, dismissive, and unwelcoming from the start. We then waited an unexpectedly long 40 minutes for very basic food, which was ultimately slammed onto our table by the same employee. Poor service can ruin an entire experience. We walked in smiling, excited to enjoy a weekend breakfast and walked out understanding why this business is closing. It's difficult to imagine many customers returning when they're treated this way, regardless of the food or diner ambiance. We completely lost our appetite - no one wants to pay for a meal only to have it slammed down in front of them. The employee's behavior was nasty, disrespectful and completely unacceptable. It left a bad taste in our mouths before we even took our first bite. I've never left a 1 star review before, but the complete lack of respect and basic courtesy left me with no other choice. I'm sharing this experience so others know what we encountered and can make an informed decision before visiting.

The friendly voice responded to my question with an answer of 'At lunch, at dinner, even at breakfast! It's always breakfast!' Well they certainly have Hubs' number! Large lot had plenty of parking when we arrived at 2pm and it was quiet; noice. We were greeted warmly right away and told to sit anywhere. I wanted something light and filled with protein. I opted for the Chicken Pesto Sandwich; hold the bread. It was ok, served on a generous bed of fresh spinach, but lacking the sun-dried tomato and no pesto garlic sauce, which it describes being tossed in. The Jack cheese looked like Kroger single slices. The side fries were thin and crispy, cooked just right. Hubs ordered the breakfast Three Egg Meat Combo: opted for burger patty, French fries in lieu of roasted red potatoes or fruit and toast over banana bread. He was very happy with his meal and said he would like to go back. While I thought the food was fine, the hospitality, attentiveness and Hubs happiness, will keep us coming back. Cheers! "CC"

This is not my first time at Emle's, and my experience has been relatively consistent across all my…read morevisits. Food: 3.5/5 The star of the show is the banana bread. It's moist with a crispy outer edge and the right amount of salt to taste but not be salty. Most of the items on the menu have pretty large portion sizes, and there is a vast selection of items. Nothing shouts out at us to give the food an upstanding 5/5, but this is still a solid pick for an American diner. Note that if you order anything with strawberries (including the fruit cup), you will get exactly 1 strawberry cut into 4 pieces to ration during your meal. Service: 2.5/5 There is one person manning the floor the majority of the time, and he does a good job managing multiple tables. We came in at 9 am on a workday and there were already 25 people in the restaurant, all managed by this one waiter. There is another person who pops in every now and then to deliver food and refill coffee. That said, don't expect to be checked in on often or to quickly get your order in. Also, special requests may or may not be satisfied-- I requested that the whipped cream in my waffle order came on the side, only for it to come right in the middle of my waffle. Atmosphere: 4/5 It's a lively place! This is a popular and long lasting restaurant for a reason. The music is not loud, and there is a comfortable amount of space between each table. I would recommend this place for a family meal, a casual work outing, or a date for an established couple. Final rating: 3.33/5 (rounding down to 3 on Yelp)

This classic diner has the cozy booths, cheerful atmosphere, and comforting menu that generations have loved. It's the kind of place where families, seniors, and kids all feel welcome the moment they walk in. The staff here deserves special mention; they are hardworking, attentive, and always trying to please. Whether you're a regular or a first‑timer, they treat you with the same friendly, old‑school hospitality that makes diners like this feel like home. The menu is full of the classics: crisp salads, hearty dinners, fried chicken, sandwiches, breakfast plates, and of course, the famous double‑deck hamburger. They also offer both a kids' menu and a senior menu, making it easy for everyone at the table to find something they'll enjoy. I ordered the club sandwich, turkey, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and bacon, and it was exactly what a diner classic should be. And you can't talk about Bob's without mentioning the icons: their Blue Cheese Dressing, thick and creamy milkshakes, sodas, iced tea, and even a few beers for those who want something extra with their meal. There's no drive‑thru here, but you won't miss it. On Friday nights, the parking lot turns into a classic car and motorcycle show, which is a nostalgic treat and a fun community gathering. Prices are decent, and if you're lucky, you might receive coupons in the mail or find additional deals on restaurants.com. A little savings always makes a good meal even better. Bob's Big Boy Northridge remains a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxed meal, appreciate hardworking staff, and share a timeless diner experience with the people you love.
