This is our absolute favorite breakfast place! Great food! Amazingly friendly service! Wonderful prices! It's an old town feel in a small town downtown. We love that we've become "regulars"... the amazing servers remember what we love (and they did it so quickly!). This place is a must! read more

I don't know how it's taken me this long to try this gem out. I loved the food and service was great. There was a 20 minute wait for a Sunday morning at 930am but we opted to sit outside and were seated immediately. Sun was out so it was perfect. Started with coffee and some Irish cream, yum! Coffee did not taste like bitter diner coffee which was perfect. I have a weakness for corned beef so I got the hash with home fries, two medium eggs and sourdough toast and I really just wanted one pancake so I also ordered a short stack. Pancakes were light and perfect with whipped butter and syrup. I had one of the three and took other two home. Corned beef hash has perfect amount of salt and griddle marks, tasted homemade, combined with my runny egg it was perfect. My brother got the country fried steak with sunny side up eggs, hash browns and biscuits in gravy. Make sure you eat the biscuits and gravy first otherwise it gets cold, it tastes good, just cold. I'm normally not a biscuit fan but theirs is super flaky and doesn't taste like flour like most places. Gravy was peppery and we loved it. I will for sure be back more often now!! read more

See all

Let me start by saying I generally don't yelp anyone but the service at this place was absolutely awful. The first place we ordered Diet Coke and they gave us regular Coke. Then we ordered Patty Melts, not a really tough thing to make but we waited 45 minutes and went in and said what happened to my order and they said oh it fell off the wheel even though the waitress passed us by 10 times taking orders for everyone else in that entire place, then our order shows up and they screwed up the order. Needless to say I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

We luv going to Ed's place, always fresh honest food, service always excellent. Luv sitting outside , although I also luv the vintage interior atmosphere! read more

I had this place bookmarked for awhile and I love supporting mom-and-pop shops, especially if they cater to breakfast dishes! Although I'm bummed that we left rather unimpressed with our experience. While it's located in a beautiful downtown Glendora right by the mountains, the store itself is VERY tiny. It's tucked sideways but the streets, clear view and has 2-3 outside seating. Parking is street parking and it might get busy during the weekends, they have spots right in front of their restaurant. We came on a Friday and parking was plentiful! Upon walking in, it wasn't busy, but wasn't completely dead either. There were a few patrons already dining-in for lunch when we looked around for a hostess of some kind. We weren't greeted and nobody inquired if we wanted to be seated until I was about to seat myself when the bar staff saw us and asked how many. He was very friendly and kind and told us we can sit in the open booth in the back (right by the kitchen and restroom). The decor is definitely outdated like they were going for the retro feel, but definitely very homey. The menu was simple, I ordered a vegetarian omelette with egg whites and a side of home fries ($8.75+$3.50 egg whites) while the boyfriend ordered an OJ and country fried steak with tator tots. In all honesty, I've never been charged extra for egg whites before even though many places do state that they do but it's usually only $1.50 or so for the substitution (but nobody ever actually goes out of their way to do the extra charge). Here it's $3.50, holy hell WTF. LOL. That's almost $4.00 for egg whites, now if the egg whites portion was a decent size I'd understand, but when our food was served both the omelette and country fried steak was TINY. It definitely didn't justify the $3.50 egg whites, it was more like 50¢ worth of portions. There also wasn't anything great about the taste and texture of the omelette either. The country fried steak was thin and small (about a little bit bigger than my palm), the tator tots were hella over fried and oily, boyfriend didn't really like it and left hungry still. Each dish was about $11.00-$13.00 and after tax and tip it was $30.00+. Didn't think it was worth it since boyfriend said everything on his dish tasted like it was store bought frozen and recooked on the stove, the OJ also tasted like cheap store bought OJ (I also saw that it was from one of the gallon sized ones that we sometimes buy at home since a staff was pouring it for another customer LOL). If you're going to charge prices like that at least attempt to make your food and drinks from scratch, especially since the store wasn't busy. We just felt the food quality was sub par for the price tag and it just doesn't leave a feeling of wanting to come back when there are other places like Flappy Jack's that charges the same amount. It was also because the place was so small that when what I assume the kitchen was cleaning the odorous stench of bleach wafted out into the dining area and I almost gagged on my food when it hit my nose. BUT, their redeeming point was that their staff was amazingly friendly and nice to all their customers! read more

Ed's is a little hole in the wall, perfect breakfast spot. Food is always delicious, service is prompt and courteous. They have a nice sidewalk dining option also. We loved the aviation themed decor as well! read more

This is mine and my family's favorite breakfast spot in Glendora! Everything we have had is so good. Love the biscuits and gravy!!!

Cute little breakfast place in the heart of downtown Glendora...The staff was excellent.

This is one of Our favorite places to eat Downtown. For all of you that know my family and I, Downtown Glendora is our local Suburban hangout and Ed's place is just like breakfast @ Home.... Surely they have other yummy choices on there menu aside from breakfast. But I somewhat stick to breakfast here, it's so authentic and fresh. Ed makes our breakfast along side of his handy helpers behind the window and you can see all of them handy at work cooking the freshest eggs sunny side up and bacon sausage w/ freshly made potatoes & Thomas English Muffins,,, The freshest money can buy.....(I just explained my favorite meal here) I like to keep it simple but, when I do venture out, It's Eggs Benedict for me, or Chili cheese omelets oh gosh it's so good.... last but not least fresh orange juice and Mickey Mouse Pancakes for the win ( my 9 year old has loved these for 8 years going strong ) we have good memories at the Place .... Thank you Ed's ,,,Hats off to you and all the staff here . See you guys real soon read more

Super intimate old school dinner. Staff is super friendly and food is great! You might want to get there early on a weekend, but it'll be max 20 min wait totally worth it. Did I mention amazing biscuits and gravy? YUM! read more

The food was pretty darn good. House made pico de Gallo on point, tasty biscuit and gravy. My and my friends omelettes were good but in the very small side. The service was poor though. Our server other than taking our order and dropping condiments and our food was nowhere to be seen. No drink refills, no check backs. They hustled only to clear and reset tables. The short haired server assistant was the only one really hustling today. As a Director Of Operations, I am very lenient when it comes to a restaurant being busy or other issues that may contribute to a less than stellar experience but I really need to voice my opinion when it comes to indifferent and neglectful service. I'm the easiest 25% or more tipper around and it really takes a lot for me to leave less than 20%. The server got 14% if that telling to you. Unfortunately although the food was good, we won't return because of the poor service. read more

Supported our local businesses and came in for Breakfast. I'm not a fan of Breakfast Food in general, so I ordered the Club with Tater Tots. It was delicious and the turkey was carved. Large portion that could be shared, or I took mine home for lunch later. Decorative aviation theme inside with old photo on the wall. The sweet owner even came out to say hello. Would come back here again. read more

How to ruin Father's Day in a single gesture. Show up at your husbands favorite breakfast place in Glendora and get a table from a couple just leaving. Wait around 15 minutes for the table to be cleared no issue. Then a group walks up hugs the waitress and asks for the table outside since they don't want their table inside that they have reservations for. The waitress turns to you and tells you to wait for the next table of customers to leave. Small town or not- stand by your business posting of no reservations - this shows the true colors of the business and those who own and work there. I can skip spending my money here with this type of behavior. read more

I have been to Ed's several times in the past without incident but today was a different story. Checked in for a party of two and was put on the waiting list. There were several people waiting and the fist thing I notices was multiple open tables but nobody was being seated. Some of the people waiting were finally seated and after everyone who was already waiting upon my arrival I expected to be seated next but others would just walk up and be seated with little to no wait. At one point my guest inquired how much longer and was told there were three ahead of us to be seated. I watched and observed six other parties being seated first including more who just walked up and were seated. After finally being called to be seated the table was dirty and we had to stand there waiting for it to be cleaned. Once seated were given menus and ordered beverages to start. When the beverages arrived the server said I will be right back to take your order. We waited and waited then finally a different server took our order. Again we waited a long time before the food finally arrived by yet a third different server who reversed the orders when serving and failed to bring part of one of the orders. We started eating expecting the remainder of the order to arrive but when it didn't a forth different server was asked to bring the remainder of the order which she did. From that point nobody checked on us to see if we needed anything else. Once finished we waited 15 minutes for the bill and still nobody ever came. Ultimately we just left cash on the table and left without ever getting a bill. It was very obvious Ed's does not care about the customers with their unbelievable poor service and by doing so have lost me as a future customer as well as others who I witnessed having similar experiences. read more

Will never go back! Greasy food. Rude staff. Full of themselves for a crappy little hole-in-the-wall in Glendora. I once ordered dry toast with a side of butter instead of the grease they brush on toast. They charged me for a side of butter!!! Wish I could give them zero stars but I can't. read more

First thing I noticed about this quaint diner was all the aviation decor. The second thing was the big poofy hair styles that were lined up at the bar. I felt like I was in a time warp and traveled to the south without having to front the expensive airfare. My friend and I already liked the specials they had listed; one found written on the outside of the door and the other specials as you first walked in. I ordered the chorizo scrambled eggs and my friend went with the ortega chili omelette. The service was really fast and our server was on top of our refills while our food was being prepared. When the food was brought out, I already knew I was going to enjoy every bite. My friend's dish on the other hand looked very boring. Maybe our half-asleep brains were registering the ortega part as something like an omelette covered with hearty, chunky Dennison's type of chili. Instead it looked very simple and nothing more than a cheese omelet with little green minces of green looking serano chilis. She was a bit bummed understandably. Our portions were what I think restaurants should be serving and we didn't have to take any leftovers home. The price was fair between $8-9. Our server continued with excellent service and we took a glimse to the back kitchen identifying the owner we saw on photos toward the front of the restaurant. I can't say I'd give this place a full 4 stars but rounded it up for charm and my delicious meal. read more

Cute location in charming downtown Glendora. Came here for brunch on the weekend. The food is good - typical of breakfast cafes. I am giving three stars because of the service. Although there was no wait, it took minutes for someone to seat us. Overall service poor. We came near the end of brunch - perhaps the staff's focus was cleaning up before closing? read more

Went here to try it out for an early morning breakfast. The ambiance was very nice. My son enjoyed all the airplane memorabilia. Unfortunately our server, Alisha, was not very nice. Had to ask for more coffee several times. My vegetable omelet only had zucchini. I do love mom and pop eateries, but this for service was very poor. Very unfriendly. read more

Would give this zero stars if I could. Food is way too overpriced, why is a basic bagel $4? Also they charge for sharing. Waited 30 minutes for them to pick up the check. Felt very discriminated against cuz we weren't white. read more

The food was great but the waitress was not attentive we have to constantly ask her for coffee and a straw for the water.

The food is decent, but the way customers are treated is definitely not right. I've never actually been discriminated because of my race, but today I sure did see a difference in the way my father and I were waited on compared to the way the servers treated the Caucasian customers. Two thumbs down for Ed's! read more

Ed's Place - The fries are pretty tasty, but the patty melt is mediocre at best. - New American Near Me - Glendora, California

Walk in on a Saturday morning, not acknowledged by any of the wait staff. Sit under the sign that says "Please wait to be seated", at least 4 wait staff see us and don't acknowledge us. Even had one of the waitresses put her arm over me to put a menu away, and still NOTHING. So, BF and I decide to sit at the bar since apparently we were invisible underneath the "wait to be seated" sign. Thinking the staff realized my irritation at this point, because they were attentive and friendly after this. To make matters worse, EVERY OTHER patron that walked in after us was acknowledged and seated when they walked in. 2 stars because food and prices were decent. read more

Don't ask for good service & if you want it "your way" go to Burger King. Loyalty - HA!! After over 30 years of loyalty, Ed refused to serve us, a 3-5x weekly customer. GO TO KARA'S OR VILLAGE VAULT OR VILLAGE EATERY for GREAT eats, great service and appreciation for your patronage!!!! read more

I enjoyed the service: attentive and friendly! The food is delicious. The selection is mostly traditional American. We admired the decorations and it's aviation pilot theme. We will be back soon! read more

Move over Flappy Jack's!!! Ed's Place is the joint to be at! With its cute charm and undeniable small town love, this place gives you the service you want and the food you crave! Look very carefully when trying to find it because you'll totally miss it if you don't look closely. I'm all about supporting the mom and pop shops and this place gets beyond 2 thumbs up for me! I will definitely be a return customer for life! Hash browns are on point and pancakes are amazing! Can't wait to go through the whole menu read more

Delishhhhh we had breakfast the green chili pepper jack omelet with biscuits and gravy

Went here for breakfast and was pretty disappointed with the lack of customer service. Not sure of why the lady serving us thought it was okay to mad dog me and not speak to us the entire time, but it was utterly rude! Food was decent, cheap, so I expected it to be mediocre anyway. It's in a super nice down town area, too bad we won't be coming back. read more

Servers were not friendly; they acted put out that we were customers coming in. The food as so so, waffles were hard and the malt had virtually no malt in it, it was just a milk shake with whipped cream, which wasn't very good. How hard is it to put some malt in there? I used to do it myself when I was a server, and all it requires is putting the malted milk powder into the shake mix. There was a couple seated across from us with a baby who was looking at this lady who for some reason was continuously running a carpet sweeper up and down the aisle. Is this standard procedure when somebody had a baby in a highchair? The vacuum lady should have waited until those diners left but for done reason just proceeded to vacuum up and down the only aisle separating diners tables for at least 15 min. The mom told the baby, "oh look at the lady vacuuming", to which the vacuum lady have them the stinkeye and continued to push the sweeper with attitute. I never noticed that the child had even made a mess at all, he was an adorable little boy. So,if surly servers are what you want, feel free to go there. They are all early twenties, no one over 25 here! And their tattoos just don't mean they give a hoot about ever checking any table or smiling. read more

Great hole in the wall with home style food. I wanted to go to Flappy Jacks but as usual the wait was too long. Looked this up on yelp. It had good ratings. So here I am I had breakfast this morning. read more

Chicken fried steak is really good,homefries with onions only, easy over eggs. The bomb!!!!

My family took me to Ed's place for a Father's day bkfst. The Eggs Benedict were yummy. We sat outside and had great service. Will definitely be going back. read more

Normally I don't find it necessary to review restaurants. I'm a server myself and understand that there a bad days, the last several times I've gone into Ed's place for the service has gone downhill I completely get ignored and the prices keep going up. I will not be back again, so disappointed. read more

Finding that, while their food is good, their prices are not only way too high for what they serve, their on-line menu is very inconsistent to the prices charged when served - (ie: fries come with a particular on-line item, but then we get a separate charge of a ridiculous price for one little order once the order is served)? Really like the food, particularly their breakfast menu, but I have no plans to order from Eds place again. read more

Best breakfast in Glendora, Very affordable and Ed is very nice. My favorite to eat is Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. Their coffee is awesome too. read more

A little place in downtown Glendora that knows how to do breakfast right! The portions are generous and the selection - well, if you can't find something you want, I am not sure where you would go. I have had their scramble, omelettes and biscuits and gravy! Ok, so you can throw that calorie counter out (although they do have healthier choices, but going here - why?)! The service is a bit slow, especially if you are sitting outside, but they are always cheerful and friendly.The place is small so you might have a wait, but it will be well worth it! read more

Great breakfast spot! The tater tots are perfectly crispy! Place has an old school decor diner feel.

Love eating at this little coffee shop. It has a great small town feel! Breakfast is always perfect and the staff is so friendly.

Little coffee shop up in Glendora with some of the freshest and tastiest food! Sooo good and the prices are reasonable...

Ed's Place... best breakfast in town! Best tuna melt sandwich I've ever had. Best cole slaw, best sweet potato fries (or the regular fries), omelets to die for, pico de gallo to clear your sinuses (YUM!), and service that is great - attentive to keep you happy but not hanging over your shoulder all the time. The only restaurant I've been to where the wait staff didn't ask me "Is everything to your liking?" when my mouth was full! :) I am a regular at Ed's for all the reasons I listed above and more. My dog is a regular at Ed's, too (best bacon in town!), and we appreciate the outside tables so we can stop for breakfast (and bacon) while on our walks. The service is just as good outside as it is inside. You can't beat the prices and I love Ed's motto: "Extras are extra!" Well, any extras you ask for at Ed's are worth paying extra for! read more

Greasy diner feel, although serious good eats. Ed's cookin'! Bet you didn't know eggs could taste so great. Portions are hearty, coffee is piping. It will feel like the place you've been frequenting for years, even if it's your first time. read more
