    Coffee break

    Love eating here with my mom, not only the foods, but also the family vibes. The service from the owner lady is excellent and she remembers what her customers love. To pancake lovers, I would say pancake is something simple but the pancakes here are absolutely delicious.

    Corn beef hash, crispy hash browns, and Sunnyside eggs.

    Went during lunch time. Was a little packed at 11:30am on a Sunday. I recommend going a bit early. Black coffee and ice water was what I had to drink. I did sit at the bar and service is steady. The wait staff was friendly and checked on me. The corn beef hash was something I was craving, but something at home I would make from the can. lol I like it simple, but they did prepare it crispy along with the hash browns. The eggs were prepared perfectly to my preference as well. A place you can take someone after a Saturday night out on the town. If you don't want to sit at a table or booth, they have bar seats. A lot of veterans frequent this establishment and seem to know everyone around town. Which is pretty cool.

    This small diner surprised me. I love the old school diner feel and to top it off, the food was comforting. It's good and the staff are so friendly. I would definitely be coming back again. It's you basic comfort breakfast food

    This cozy diner vibe feels like you're in a movie.

    Comfy and classic diner, with heartfelt service and a spectacularly vintage vibe. Biscuits and gravy were excellent, and the waitress is very generous with consistent warm-up coffee refills. If you appreciate good breakfast, the Giants, and a way-back-when experience from the 1980's, eat here.

    Amazing new discovery since moving to Pinole. Amazing food. Great service. Perfect Sunday breakfast. Be forewarned- not a Dodger's-friendly venue!

    "We just got back from breakfast. The pancakes were dynamite." - Cosmo Kramer, Seinfeld Da Scene: early morning out and about, looking for hashbrowns... my goto spot in Pinole has been dropping the ball lately, so Yelp! points me to Flippy's in Rodeo. 2 spot parking lot, but LOTS of street parking @ 7am. Lots of cozy booths, some 2 tops and 5 spot counter. Staff was masked, patrons varied. Seated, ordered and coffee'd quickly. Da Grub: Went with the Pork Chop (breaded & fried) 2 eggs over easy. You can opt for 3 pancakes instead of hashbrowns and toast... which I did since toast ain't my thing. But as I'm on a hashbrown oddesey, ordered a side of crispy goodness and was not disappointed. Eggs were fine, pork chop was crisp, moist and seasoned just right... save some pepper, didn't need to adjust the salt. Hashbrowns were as they should be: crisp (not burnt), but fluffy and tender inside... just what I've been looking for! TIP: Ask for the pancakes to come out last, and enjoy as a kind of breakfast dessert with your 3rd cup of coffee. Da Service: Super efficient, considering maybe 8 other tables, my server (owner?) was quick and topped my coffee off 3 times (luv that!). Food was expedited as asked and was piping hot when received. Folks at the counter were talking as old friends, customers leaving waved to other customers, definately a local spot, but I never felt like an outsider. I will check in on my old spot again sometime, but Flippy's has earned another visit (with the wife next time!) With their solid fare and great service... plus GREAT HASHBROWNS!!

    French toast is excellent! I'll be back for more. Good customer service and clean environment. Pricing is reasonable despite inflation.

    Who would of thought in this small plaza there was this hidden gem. I frequent this area at times…read morearound 6ish am to get Starbrrad for my co-workers. When maps directed me to here, I was shocked. Stepped in there was 1 party so I said great its not busy. As we took a seat, I kept hearing the online ordering beeps while the nice young man was there checking them. Alan came around and handed us menus and since my little one is into chicken or country fried steak, its the first thing I asked him when he greeted us. Ordered the food and observed hes the only o ne cleaning tables, greeting, processing the online orders and waiting. Hes truly a star and is great at what he does. Food is fresh and delicious. Did not disappoint. Kudos to Alan

    I wanted pancakes today... to absorb the overindulgence of cocktails the night before. (Oy!) I…read morereviewed yelp to find something close that maybe we hadn't tried, and I found Mely's with the amazing rating of 4.3 stars. We've lived in Hercules for over 30 years and are creatures of habit, so it was nice to venture the 10-minute drive to San Pablo. We were not impressed by the exterior strip mall building, but the interior of Mely's is very cute, homey, and clean. (I even peeked into the kitchen since the door was open.) I wanted pancakes, but got waffles instead since W ordered the blueberry buttermilk stack. We both had a side of eggs, his scrambled and mine sunny side up. The eggs were delish; mine in particular was perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy edges, a beautiful, silky, runny yolk, and no uncooked whites. The blueberry pancakes are so good! Of course they are huge and I ate some of them in addition to my waffle. We could have split just the pancakes and been perfectly happy. They cook berries inside the homemade batter and top them with a house-made blueberry compote. Maple syrup and soft butter on the side. The waffles are crispy outside with a light, airy, center, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I had strawberries on the side (+$5 !!). Since I ate some of W's pancakes, we took half the waffles home. W had a drip coffee--no decalf available so I had the fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a large glass so I took half of that home, too. The coffee was nothing to rave about, but it was coffee. Service was friendly and efficient--there is only one cook and one server, and it seems several of us arrived at the same time on this Sunday morning. Overall a wonderful find that we will return to so we can explore more dishes. We saw omelets and Benedict's come out that looked amazing! Plus, I want to try the dinner menu, which also looked pretty amazing.

That energy makes the whole place even better. The potato wedges deserve their own fan club! There is some kind of magic wizardry happening there. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like mashed potatoes on the inside, and so ridiculously good you'll probably start guarding your plate lol!! :P My favorite is the Hangout omelette. It always hits! And the French toast is dangerously good too, soft in the middle, golden on the edges, and exactly the kind of breakfast that disappears way too fast. And do not leave without ordering the ube espresso or the dirty matcha espresso. Trust me. Both are absolutely worth it! Honestly, this is one of those places that just makes you happy :D So, so good!!!!
