It's not right that I write reviews for places I've been once and not on places I've been multiple times. It's not showing the love properly. I aim to fix that this cotton pickin moment. I hear there are a few Lumpys Diners but I have only been to the one in Pittsburg so this is about them only. First off, I KNOW the staff works their butts off because this place is always packed. It's a small little joint that can hold maybe 30 people on the inside. When I tell you that I have never been to a place where no matter the day or time EVERY STAFF MEMBER IS AMAZINGLY NICE. Like you can see on their faces sometimes they are tired and have been worn thin from the back and forth or personal issues but when they step to your table, it's like none of that matters to them and then want you to feel at home. Being from the south, that's a great feeling. The food is fast and is always hot and good. Like really good. Me and the wife will go here probably once a month and she gets the exact same thing every stinking time? Why? Because we believe their powdered sugar on their French toast has crack in it because she's addicted to it! (Jk. Don't call the po po or the health dept. the French toast is just good). The burgers, patty melts, steak and eggs, hash, everything is great. We just recently started getting into their milkshakes. I called to place an order for my first one and made the mistake of asking "what flavors you got?" The sweet voice said "ummmm hun..we got over 30... you need me to read 'um all?" I was tempted to say yes to hear her country accent more but said no, ordered a cheesecake peach one and it was friggin Amazeballs. Come to old town Pittsburg and try THIS Lumpys. Give yourself some time because you will be waiting. You won't be disappointed. read more

My wife and I have been here once and it's not bad. It was packed but they were still able to seat us after a 10 minute wait. The food was good, nothing that caught my eyes or anything that had that WOW factor. Everything tasted as it should. The one star removed is for the cleanliness... I was able to see dust almost everywhere on the shelves and other areas around where we were seated... yes, I know we aren't going to dine on the shelves, but it was a lot of old grime and dust right above where we were seated and it wasn't pretty. Another complaint I guess worth mentioning but decided to overlook is the strength of the coffee... it was pretty weak. In my own personal opinion, you can tell a good diner/restaurant immediately by both the strength and taste of the coffee. It wasn't really 5-star worthy... but I'll let that go. Our waitress did her job, no small talk or conversation, just right to business. I forgot whether she was the only waitress there at the time, but no, I think another waitress was also working that morning... so taking the time to have even a short welcoming conversation would have been nice, but that might have been asking for the world. Parking on the street could be a challenge... if it's a busy day, you'll have to park a few blocks away. The place is worth visiting at least once so you can make your own judgement. read more

This diner is very unique because it is a locally owned business. They only have 2 locations. One here and another in Antioch. I'd prefer this diner over Ihop, Denny's or any corporate diners that are mainstream all over the United States. The food here is very delicious. The servings are in large portions! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The interiors have cool murals and it's pretty neat and clean. This place definitely deserve a lot of support from the local community or anyone who is visiting the city of Pittsburg. read more

Took a ride over the pass to fill the belly. Opted fo a to go order, but now after thinking about it, we should've stayed to eat, because it took the same amount of time to wait for the order versus waiting for a table.. Anywho, service was good, food was hot and the drive was worth it. I a grilled bacon and cheese sandwich with frings. He a bacon burger with fries and chocolate shake She a bacon burger. The vibe of comers and goers was cool, and I like the fact that they had an option of outdoor dining. Will I return, yes. I may even take the time to actually take a lunch when I'm in the area again! I give this place 4 yumms up! read more

The steak and egg breakfast taste like food from casinos of Reno food but the omelette my GF had was good and well worth a return!

Nice hole in the wall in downtown Pittsburg. Indoor and outdoor seating, fairly clean facility but a little cluttered. Though I think that's supposed to be the vibe of the place. We were waiting outside for about 5 minutes to be seated, 2-3 waitresses came out multiple times and didn't say a word to us. I realized after a while we should've just gone inside to get seated but I'd think they'd say something to us to get us a table. Once seated, the waitresses were friendly. What we got: The Cure with hot link - great portion of food. The cheesy cheese was a nice addition. The gravy was just okay. It was peppery and wished it had more umami/flavor. I got it with a hot link and it was a little too salty for me but it was definitely spicy. - 7/10 French toast al a carte - nice, fluffy, slightly crisp edges. Flavor was lacking a little so the butter/syrup that came with it was much needed. - 7/10 Italian sausage side - a little too salty for me but past that it had nice flavor. 5/10 Full breakfast with jalapeño bacon - the jalapeño bacon was really tasty. A little spice, not as spicy as the hot link. Nothing special about the Eggs, hash browns and toast. - 8/10 Overall, I appreciate small hole in the walls and would definitely come back here again. Staff was friendly, service was quick and food was good. -1 star for not addressing us sooner/the lack of flavor gravy. read more

It's a great breakfast diner. Good service with big smiles. Bring your kids. They will like this place toO. Great coffee, and they have mimosas. Simple This is one of Pittsburg pride. Cute spot to meet up with a friend or a place to sit and dine alone after getting a new book across the street at the really cute book shop. Their portions run from perfect to huge. Enjoy read more

My brother and I came here for brunch and were very happy with our experience. I was conflicted as to what to order, trying to choose between the chicken and waffle plate or the chorizo scramble. Our waitress (I didn't get her name unfortunately) recommended the chorizo scramble....and boy, was it delicious! It was served with hash brown (which had the nice crispy edges) and a large flour tortilla. The only thing I added were a few dashes of Tapatío sauce and I was very happy. My brother ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast. It came with three eggs, hash brown, and toast. Holy smokes, it was a huge plate! He enjoyed his food, as well. On the side, he also ordered a side of fricks (fried pickles)...which was also delish!!!! Our waitress was really cool. She was easy to talk to, and you can tell she was enjoying interacting with her customers. Overall, we enjoyed our brunch and definitely would recommend this place to friends and family. Come hungry....from what I've seen, portions are big. read more

Lumpy's Diner - Chorizo scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I would say Lumpy's is a good diner with solid service, OK-quality food but it does taste pretty good and is a good bang for your buck. I ordered their crab benedict but didnt realize it uses imitation crab instead of real crab! My husband reminded me we are in a diner, not a fancy one. I was here after jury duty in Martinez and this place hit the spot because it is quick, delicious and has a huge menu to pick from. If you want higher quality diner food, this is not the right place. For the money you pay for, you can probably overlook that! read more

Lumpy's Diner - Crab Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I wanted breakfast but I wanted breakfast from a good mom and pop shop. I love supporting small business! And believe it or not, some of these small food business have the best food. So I looked up a breakfast spot near me since I'm new to the area and it brought me to Lumpy's. The customer service was on point! They were all so friendly and sweet. The food was bomb, in which I got my breakfast fix for the day. I wish I had more room to order more food but I was stuff. I however will be back to try their lunch menu! That's a FACT! read more

Lumpy's Diner - French Toast with scrambled eggs and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Customer service is A+. They are so personable, kind and attentive. Ordered a tuna melt on wheat with a side of fries. The fries were perfect. The tune melt was good but the portion size was smaller than I expected. read more

Tried this diner for breakfast today on pure recommendation alone and let me tell you...... WOW!!!!!!!! This small diner packs a big punch to say the least. Everything was amazing. Very friendly staff, a great food selections, great service and the food was so good. Every bite was treat and the portions were filling and worth every penny. I HIGHLY recommend and can't wait to go back to try more of their food. read more

I've called in twice now asking for crispy fries and. I've never gotten anything other then soggy. Customers and staff come of as hostile. unsanitary as fuck young woman in foh has a visible cheek piercing infection and long nails. Its like they want you to lose your appetite when you see that and are also met with rude service. Your better off at nations with good american food. .5/5 just sad read more

Lumpy's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Came here as usual! Come here at least once perweek as I live close by! Sometimes I'm with one of my sons, my significant other or a colleague for the past 7 years. This waitress didn't acknowledge me for a long time until I gave her a blank stare. She gies are you eating here? Im like yes! ( What else could I be seated there for? ) After another 10 minutes I go inside from the outside patio area to ask for a menu where I was told they'll be right with me. The Waitress finally acknowledges me in her Condescending Silent Intentional Disrespectful (CSID) voice 'Ill be right there in a hurry' Loudly In a very disrespectful tone! Young lady comes out to apologize and said the waitress was super busy! I told her the waitress knew I was there and intentionally ignored me! Waited another ten minutes as she helped other patrons never returning to help me with my order. I Left as my money is good each and every where. . Not a Second Class Citizen and refuse to be treated as such! I make conscious decisions on who and where I spend my hard earned Money! I only patronize certain establishments especially in this heightened state of inflation. My guy and I just came to a decision the other day not to waste monies on food places whereas we both have Chef Quality cooking skills and especially a business who has no regard for its patrons. Bunk Lumpies on my list of DO NOT! read more

We Were Seated Very Promptly. Brought Water and Asked if We Wanted Any Additional Beverages. And Our Orders Were Taken. That Appetizers Came On Time and Before Our Food. The Apps and The Food Were All Very Good and The Service Was Great: read more

I had the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and a side of fries for lunch. The burger is definitely filling and delicious. The onion rings in the burger had a little crunch. The fries were not so good. They were a little soggy and dry. I'd definitely would come back to try their other burgers or their breakfast menu! read more

Pretty good food excellent service. friendly spot especially nice for little outings w seniors or intimate meal for 2

Wifey and I were here over the Father's Day weekend. We wanted to have a good breakfast that was out of the ordinary compared to, say, Denneys or Ihop. First, there was a little way as this was a small and intimate establishment. What I do love about this place was that the staff was very informative on food choices, which made it very easy to decide as their menu is to die for with such good selections. Prices were reasonable and will be back there again on our next trip. On thing to note, parking can be a challenge. Semper Fi...... read more

Wow this food is amazing and love the atmosphere here. Service is friendly and helpful busy a lot of the time

I really enjoyed my food during my first visit, huge portions, friendly service and easy to find parking. Located in downtown Pittsburg and around lots of other eateries. Came here with a friend and we were both starving- I got the Digger Dave special and my friend got the chicken and waffles. We were both pleased with our orders- the side biscuit was a little dry for me, I think I would've liked the toast more but was so full, it didn't really matter because I could barely eat the biscuit. My friend enjoyed the chicken and could swear it tasted just like chicken fried steak- probably cooked in the same oil. The waffle was pretty yummy too. I would definitely come back and try some other breakfast options. read more

Stopped in to check this place out. Food was really good and filling, portioned just right, didn't leave feeling like I ate too much. Was a little on the slower side, and staff was a little scatter brained, but when they did take care of me, they were very gracious and friendly! Great vibe, ideal location near the marina and reasonably priced! Thanks, crew! I'll be back! read more

Lumpy's Diner - Kitchen Sink Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I had the meat lovers breakfast burrito and a side of biscuits and gravy. My daughter had the fried chicken sandwich and French fries. The breakfast burrito was on the small side and just ok. Also I usually judge a breakfast spot by their gravy and this gravy was average at best. But my daughters fried chicken sandwich (the waitress warned us not to get the dry grilled chicken) the one bite she saved me was pretty good. Other than that the waitress was super nice and my coffee was always hot and full. read more

Lumpy's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburg, California

The restaurant was clean. It was nice environment but I didn't really enjoy the waffles.

The service was okay, the food was decent, nothing special. The reason I will not be back is my husband found a hair in his food, when we told the waitress there was no apology just a simple "do you want another one?" I truly don't understand what the hype about this place is. It was packed when we got there. I guess the only good thing I can say is, at least there was a short wait given how many people were there. read more

I like to go for breakfast, although their lunch menu is also good. I enjoyed the fish and chips, but prefer their breakfast menu. The prices are good comparable to other brunch or lunch diners. They give big portions for a good price. If you order by phone, they're almost always fast to make your order, no longer than 20 minutes usually. The pancakes are large and fluffy, hash browns are crispy and eggs taste real. I still have yet to try their cinnamon roll. read more

The Rapture Benedict was trash, they went cheap on the hot links, looked like dollar store hot links. I was expecting similar to Evergood brand. They used biscuits for my benedict. It should've been an English muffin and the Holland side was so mustardy it tasted like mustard biscuits with an over easy egg on top. Service was not good, waited about 5 min for a table 10 min for water and another 10 to get our order taken. The people behind us finished their food, left, and a new couple came and sat down at the same table no wait. Got their drinks right away and their food at the same time as my daughter and I did. My daughter liked her pancakes though. read more

Went here Saturday morning for a quick family breakfast. I told the lady that we had six and she seemed annoyed that we had six but said she could seat us back to back. I asked if she could just put two tables together in the back she said no. Well needless to say that wasn't too accommodating to have a family breakfast. We took the seating as I wasn't trying to travel again due to the rain about to come. The food came and it was okay I got a churro waffle with one egg and bacon which was decent. This restaurant is okay but I honestly will stick with the lumpys on lone tree as the vibe is completely different and a little more welcoming. read more

We love Lumpy's! They have fast, great service and good food. My fav is their garlic fries. This place is my new go-to for breakfast.

Lumpy's is a. 50s and 60s diner. Great atmosphere lots of really cool things to look at. Natalie is a Fabulous owners and staff are great. Food was awesome, tasted great a lot of food for your buck. read more

Had a great experience! Food was good & it comes out quick ! Love the French toast & Mimosas ! Establishment definitely needs to expand as the Inside is a very small space ; other than that everything is great except the wait times . read more

I love this place. My husband and I have breakfast here at least three times a month. I usually get one of three things: a breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs, a hot link, and a side of tater tots (yes, I know the sandwich has hash brown in it... but tater tots are LIFE. LOL), the french toast combo, or a vegetable scramble with chicken apple sausage added to it and let me tell you.................... it is always delicious. And I cannot forget to mention my cup of coffee with cold creamer that they always have ready for me. What I love even more than the delicious food is the friendly Mom-and-Pop feel it has. The ladies here are friendly and always on point when it comes to providing their customers with quality service and that is truly hard to find these days. It's great to walk into an establishment be greeted with a smile and get good food. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good eats and even better vibes. read more

Lumpy's Diner - Vegetable scramble breakfast burrito with added chicken apple sausage. Delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I've been here a lot of times and I've never had a bad experienced here. The service is always a 10/10. I've never waited more than 10 minutes to receive my food after I ordered it. read more

Food was amazing and service too! I went in on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. Staff was very friendly here and I couldn't complain about anything if I tried. read more

Cute shop with fun art painted on the walls. I understand it was a packed joint, pre COVID, but it was nearly empty when we arrived. Not complaining, as we brought my 97 year old grandma and communicating in a loud environment can be challenging. The menu is extensive and most everything looked tasty. My husband ordered the Starter Breakfast Quesadilla as an appetizer. It was HUGE and probably could have served as a full mean for 1 or 2 of us. He also ordered "The Punisher Burrito" for his meal, which was a breakfast burrito with pulled pork instead of your typical breakfast meats. He loved it. I had come with the intention of ordering pancakes but went with "The Cure" which was a meal piled up high. The base was hash browns, topped with chicken fried steak, topped with eggs, cheese, a biscuit and then smothered with country gravy. Too much to finish but a valiant effort was made. My grandmother ordered "Lumpy's Caramel Pecan Waffle" and finished every bite. She's ready to go back next week. Besides, I gotta try the pancakes, right? The service rocked, so friendly and attentive. I agree with my grandma. We're now Lumpy's Diner fans read more

Oh GAWRSH. Lumpy limps along mostly due to it's location and the food desert that is this area. Anyone with even a slight appreciation for what they put into their mouths and tummies is not going to accept the sloppy setup that is Lumpy's. It's really hard to mess up breakfast food, but Lumpy's success in attaining absolutely "meh" food is also it's inherent failure. The customer service is sketch, to say the least and confusing when you come back for another visit and get a totally different level of service. The only thing consistent about this place are inadequate ingredients and the lack of attention to what comes out of this here kitchen. I wanted to find a decent breakfast spot while out with my sister one day but I've since tried Lumpy's two additional times and I'm always dissatisfied. If you're down with the mediocre, stop by. Or just raise your standards. read more

Waited for 25 minutes for a table, sat down and knew exactly what we wanted to order, asked the waitress if I could place my order and she rudely told me I needed to wait because there were two people in front of me. She walked by us 7 times within the time frame we were sitting there. Not sure how hard it is to put an order in and be kind. Over an hour wasted and we walked out. The coffee cup I was served was dirty and had food on it. So gross. Absolutely horrible customer service and I am extremely disappointed because we love the location in Brentwood. Lots of grumpy females working here! Won't be coming back, ever. read more

I have yet to try the other food to increase rating. More to follow. I had the frisco burger and fries and was satisfied with it, however we all look for that certain something that enhances, elevates and warrants a rave review that the taste buds remember. I am hoping for more... read more

Very good food and great portions! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and clean.
