    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!!

I ate half of the blta and took rest home- fresh, crispy and balanced. Fried chicken sandwich was delicious with the pickles and slaw and the bun was yummy. The chicken was generous in proportion and overflowed off the bun. Now- the winner of the meal- blueberry cheesecake. That crust, topped with deliciousness and fresh blueberries. Women's restroom was super clean- which you know is a great sign of the kitchen. Looking forward to my next visit.

From the…read moregravelled parking lot to the old sofas, live music, and a food trailer on what was once an abandoned lot, I loved this family- and dog-friendly spot. There are even games in the yard. A real surprise was the food. I had the avocado toast it was tasty, I would order it again. When I tasted the beef Philly I was ready to order one to go, but they had sold out. The rest of my friends had burgers, the vegetarian had fries, even the dog had a pup patty, and everyone enjoyed the food The music was almost too loud; however, because the stage is outside, it was not too uncomfortable. We heard two different bands. The loud music did make it hard to have a conversation. A word of warning that does not affect my rating: bees and yellow jackets are everywhere. There is nothing that the Backyard can do to keep these pests out of the yard.

While yes there are no indoor seatings there are some outdoor seating with shade for a nice sunny day, listening to live music watching some others dance. It was a relaxing area to have as a hangout either by yourself, your partner or even as a group. I truly loved going to this place and definitely coming back!

    Very cute burger joint on the corner - you can't Miss it!…read more Lots of custom artwork on the walls - very nice!! My kids and I pulled off the freeway coming from Sacramento specifically to try Johnny Boi's today. I had seen several reviews on Instagram and they were all good which meant I had to give it a try.. We ordered four burgers, two smash burgers and two Fatboy burgers and two orders of tater tots one Oreo cookie shake and an ice cream cone. The total was a little over $70.. ouch! The first thing I thought while paying the bill was these better be some good burgers for that amount of money. The food was ready within a few minutes. I saw them frying the burgers fresh, which was great! I noticed there were tater tots sitting under the heat lamp when we placed our order....i hoped we wouldn't get those because they looked as if they had been sitting for a while. As luck would have it, we did indeed get those tater tots and as luck would also have it, they were indeed cold. Bummer - cause if you know me, you know I like my food fresh and hot! The burgers were just ok. They didn't have any seasoning and the smash sauce was a bit spicy. Even though I watched them put the meat on the grill which I thought was our burgers, the burgers came out just warm. The cheese was barely melted and the bun, although very soft was also cold. They gave us a small cup of ranch dressing and it was delicious!!! The last thing I got was a Soft serve ice cream cone. It reminded me of the ice cream cones that you get on a cruise ship. SOOOOOO GOOD!!! Overall, The kids rated them a 6/10. Not too bad, but I don't think we need to go back.

It takes awhile for the server to come assist you, especially ordering drinks. Half our table got drinks and finished before the other got to order. The drinks took awhile to come out and came at different times and were inconsistent with taste and garnish. They never collected any empty glasses when they came with new drinks. So our table was cluttered. This is not good when your table is already cramped. When we were ordering the food the server kept trying to pressure us to order more (either two of the same dish or more food). Unfortunately we listened and got two of the mussel with fries. The assembly of this dish was not great. They put a glob of mayo on top of the mussels...then fries under with a TON of not so great broth. The fries get sooooo soggy and dipping it becomes a nightmare when you start eating the mussels. The mussels also weren't that great. It wasn't necessarily fishy but almost tasted old or left out. I would not recommend this dish. The Brussels sprouts were horrendous and EXTREMELY salty. It was drenched in this buffalo tasting vinaigrette. The entire party hated this. As for the chicken, it was alright. The hot sauce wasn't great so I ate it alone. The biscuit was tough and hard to rip apart. It didn't have that flakey texture. The slaw was a miss from just looking at it. My favorite thing out of it all was the Mac and cheese. Not dry, had good amount of salt. Oh, and if you want to order the side of carrots, I'm not sure 2 slices is worth the amount they charge. The menu is also limited compared to what was offered before.

    Extremely Disappointed -- Terrible Food & Worse Customer Service…read more I've been coming here for months and have even brought family and friends because I genuinely wanted to support this business. But the past few visits, our orders have constantly been always mess ups, and today was honestly the last straw. How do you serve food looking like this and think it's acceptable? The quality was awful, the presentation was sloppy, and the whole meal was disappointing. When I asked for my order to be remade, they said "okay" and told me I could keep the food. So naturally, I waited assuming an entirely new order was being made... only for them to bring out ONE pancake. Seriously? What kind of customer service is that? It's frustrating because I've continuously supported this place and recommended it to others, just to be treated like this. Instead of properly accommodating a loyal customer, they handled the situation carelessly and made it seem like my complaint didn't matter at all. At this point, I honestly wouldn't recommend coming here. The service has gone downhill, the orders are constantly wrong, and management clearly doesn't care about fixing issues the right way. Completely ridiculous. Look at the before picture once I first started compared to now... like come now... absurd! Literally could've went to Denny's... smh!
