This is a greasy spoon hole in the wall, but they're open early. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. The staff were pleasant. The food will fill your belly. If you're looking for a regular American breakfast this is the place to go. read more

Was in Little Rock for a concert and stopped here for breakfast. Awesome spot they were busy but the food service and atmosphere was great. The breakfast sandwich is an explosion of flavors. Hats off to the chef! read more

Loved this place! Daughter and I decided to try a new to us spot for brunch. The portions were great, service was fantastic. Gentleman serving and taking orders was friendly, paid attention to service, and was quick to serve refills and our meals. The food was tasty, fresh, and we both loved our meals. I got the Santa Fe Omelet and she got the Monterrey Omelet with bacon. I'll definitely be back!! read more

Simple dinner. Solid food. Great service. Reasonable prices. Will return when in town.

This place is lovely with excellent food choices and family owned and ran. The owner works hard making delicious home cooked food, checking to make sure it's good. The lobby is clean and the ambiance is nice for downtown Little Rock. Parking is around back. read more

It smells like a nursing home on the inside.. first thing that put me off a bit. I expected the aroma of breakfast or coffee, anything other than that. I've only eaten breakfast here twice. The first time I went, I dined in. The lady who took my order had the energy of a sloth. No one checked in with me the entire time I dined in. My omelette was super bland but the ingredients were fresh. The second time, I ordered ahead with GrubHub. It said my order would be ready at 8:55. I arrived at 9:05, and it was not. They didn't start making my order until I got there... which completely defeats the purpose of ordering and paying ahead. This time my omelette was SUPER salty. Thankfully GrubHub refunded me so I didn't waste $13 on food that was so salty, it was hardly ingestible (which may have been due to them just throwing my order together in a panic once I arrived, upon realizing they'd overlooked it). I think I'm good on trying again. I hate I didn't have the same experience as others - the place had great reviews for the most part. read more

I arrived about 8a, there were 4 other patrons eating together. Quaint place with beach kitsch for ambience. The food was decent, the wait was unbelievable. I ordered a coffee and breakfast burrito and red potatoes. The coffee took 15 minutes for the guy to pour a cup from the already-made coffee and bring it to me. Had to ask for water. Burrito, while good, shouldn't have come out 42m after order. They do a lot of pickup business and that seems to take priority over dine-in customers. Probably will not return unless in a pinch. read more

The food is excellent and the service is pleasant at the Malibu Cafe. The cafe doesn't look like much when you peek in from the sidewalk, but don't let that dissuade you. My lovely bride ordered the croissant with American cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon, flattened in a panini press, and she inhaled it very quickly. I ordered the breakfast burrito, served with a perfectly spicy salsa. Best of all, freshly squeezed orange juice. Finally, this place is so good, we visited twice for breakfast. Highly recommended. read more

Don't let your eyes convince you to walk by the small store front, this place will surely satisfy your belly! Came to town for a quick work trip and stumbled upon this little gem! While it might look a little run down, the young man at the counter was very friendly and the food...NAILED IT! I asked for recommendations and the young man rattled off half the menu I went with the sausage breakfast burrito and hash browns. Yum! I wasn't expecting it to be this good, but it was fantastic. Also, I take my coffee black. They serve it in a ceramic cup, in my opinion this is the best way to enjoy a cup of liquid gold, and it was delicious! Free re-fills! Left beyond satisfied and smiling ear to tummy read more

I Really like coming here for brunch, nice little café in downtown Little Rock. I recommend the ribeye burrito.

Great service and wonderful food. I had the breakfast burrito. It was scrumptious! The fresh squeezed orange juice was a treat.

Cute and tasty. It's a simple place for your basic breakfast. I really enjoyed my french toast and scrambled eggs, both made perfectly. They have a lot of choices for food and drink, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. It did take a bit to get our food, and we weren't sure if we left the plates on the table or for a bin. I would definitely come back, just account for a wait time. read more

This place is a dive with great home cooked food. You walk in, place your order and they bring it to you. You can assume they have staffing issues like many restaurants. Tables were not being cleared so we had to do it ourselves. My biggest complaint is that they didn't bring us our coffee until after our meal was served. read more

Just left this place. It was disgusting. There was one group of 4 in the restaurant. The guy at the front made a half-hearted gesture to clean a table for our group. In the process he knocked over a glass of orange juice, and knocked a tobacco sauce bottle onto the floor, leading to red sauce everywhere. He made no attempt to clean the floor. He seemed completely high. No attempt to accommodate or wait on us. Not sure how this place has good ratings. read more

Malibu seems like a hidden gem in the city. I love this place! I've eaten here almost a dozen times and it always meets expectations.

Great service. Lots of awesome homemade style food. Great taste, good cooking. Clean restaurant!

Great little breakfast dive. We stumbled in with "starving" kids and this hit the spot. We tried French toast, waffle and pancakes and all cleaned out plates. Definitely a go to for a good reasonably priced breakfast. read more

Very disappointed. Staff seemed unorganized, ordered biscuits and gravy, gravy came out 10 minutes after meal served and it was instant, watery and no flavor. Staff polite but could use organization. Coffee strong and no flavor. Offered options that never arrived. Would not recommend read more

Friendly and attentive staff but food was very mediocre. Menu is too large and broad. This place would be a lot better if they shrunk the menu down by about 75% and put their effort into making a few things really well. read more

Lots of selection , friendly, fresh squeezed Orange juice . Very satisfied my husband had French toast and I had steak and eggs delicious! The orange juice and house made cheese cake were the stars read more

Quiet place on the weekend, had a great breakfast. Good food, good portions and a friendly staff.

Nice quiet feel to the place. Menu was hard to read. Coffee had cinnamon in it, which most may like but I didn't unfortunately. Toast order threw me off. It was just 1 piece of bread barely toasted, cut in half without butter. Most places have 2 pieces in my experience and butter is at least offered. read more

I came in on a Sunday. It was slow. The time to receive the food was average. The breakfast was delicious! The service was good. The online menu is shorter than the menu listed in the store. This is a must try for someone looking for a great breakfast. I will return for the lunch menu read more

Worth the wait! We came in on a Monday around 11am and waited about 25 minutes for our food, but it was well worth it. This place is a hidden gem! In my opinion the decor could use an update, but the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The presentation of the food is worth mentioning too. Close to good parking (which is hard to come by in downtown Little Rock). read more

Home cooked food for a decent price. Was passing thru town and stopped to get some breakfast & it was the bomb!

This little hole in the wall certainly is anything but. The food was fresh, tasty and good portions. Service was friendly and even helpful with special requests. Definitely a great breakfast place! We will be back:) read more

Great breakfast place in the heart of Downtown Little Rock. This is a small family run business with a great selection of breakfast favorites at a very good price point. I had the eggs, link sausage and hash browns with French Toast. Eggs we over medium a cooked to perfection. No runny whites but with a soft yoke. Hash browns had enough brown crispy bits with some softer shreds. The French toast was very good but I wish they mentioned the dusting of powdered sugar. I know for some people French toast requires a sprinkling of the white stuff but it's not for me. French toast was still good. Coffee was also good. When I arrived the place was quite with only three tables occupied. After I ordered two large parties arrived which backed up the staff a little but overall the service was good. I did have to go to the counter for a coffee refill. They apologized and brought me a full cup. Overall I would definitely recommend Malibu Cafe and may need to come back and try their lunch menu. read more

This place should have so many more reviews! I was in Little Rock for the week working and went here for lunch one day. The people were friendly and the food was fresh and prepared with care. They had healthy options (salmon salad was delish) and also heartier things like burgers and tacos. The only bummer was that I went back for dinner one night at 5:00 and they were already closed despite the Yelp hours showing open until 7. It's such a gem that I didn't take any stars off, just call to check hours! read more

All the off was obviously cooked to high, the French toast was burnt on the outside but still raw soaked inside, the potatos were so under cooked that in the inside it was just raw potato. Nothing was seasoned in any way. Bunch of teens with attitude were the customer service. Coming from out of town I hope this isn't the best they have to offer here. Very disappointed. read more

Little hole in the wall place that has a delicious breakfast. I had the Monterrey omelette...filled with Monterrey Jack cheese and bacon with cheese and bacon also on top along with half an avocado displayed nicely. Omelette was fluffy and delicious. Potatoes come it and they are very flavorful. Would definitely get this again! read more

I've driven past this diner many times not even noticing it, and wanted to try it on a Saturday evening because of the 5 star comments. They serve their breakfast menu all day, so that also helped me search for their place. It was soooo worth it! I ordered an omelet (veggies, cheese and bacon) along with some hasbrowns. The omelet was perfectly cooked and folded just write, the perfect mix of ingredients. It came with some salsa, and when I started to set it aside, I noticed it looked freshly made. The salsa was wonderful, and I don't usually eat my omelets with salsa. The hasbrowns were properly cooked, but I think I'll ask for them crispy next time (my own preference). Friendly service, great food, great price. I recommend you seek this out, and I look forward to trying some of their others options. read more

We were the first ones there at 830am. You order at the counter. There was a sleepy looking young brunette. She took our order. I read this place was pretty friendly, but we did not witness that. Someone in the back was cooking. One other gentleman came in and ordered 5 minutes later. Then, a family of four came in about ten minutes after we ordered. We saw two plates brought to her up front, and then she turned to take their order. We were confused as to why she would not take the hot food out and then take the order, so I went up later to see if we were supposed to pick up our food too. She said she was supposed to bring it, and I said I might as well take it since I was already there and it had taken a long time for them to place their order and the food was probably now cold. We paid extra for toast, and my husband did not get it so he came back up after she submitted the order and she said "ya I'm gonna take it" so once we were done she brings the unbuttered cold single piece of toast that cost 75 cents extra. Our pancakes were cold because our food sat there as she took the order. The food was not that great the service was awful. read more

I came here to get a quick bite and chose veggie tacos and I'm so glad I did!! Four tacos for a good price with broccoli, carrots, and grilled onions! The salsa was excellent and the homemade corn flour tortillas are YUMMY . The pancakes were fluffy and with syrup they melt in your mouth. Potatoes were roasted well, not too dry. The staff is WONDERFUL!! I'm definitely coming back! Muchas gracias read more
