    My order. There's a 3% surcharge for using a credit card.

    Got the Bacon "N" 2 Eggs with coffee. Everything was good. The bacon was crispy. The home potatoes tasted like they were cooked with butter. The coffee was a nice mild roast. There is seating both inside and in the patio area. Inside has a counter and two booths. I took a quick look at the patio area and it looked spacious. There is parking available. I went on a Saturday after 09:00 and there were approximately 4 parking spaces available. Service was very friendly and prompt. I think it only took about 5 minutes to receive my breakfast. There's also a 3% surcharge for using a credit card.

    Steak Bits and Eggs

    Pacific Diner brought back some memories of some old school diners like I grew up with in New Jersey, maybe with a little bit of a California beach vibe added in. There were some regulars sitting at the counter and a menu with drawings and puns made to look like a newspaper. We were in the neighborhood because we had stayed overnight at a hotel a few doors down before a cruise. We wanted a good breakfast, because you never know if they're going to have enough food on those cruise ships (I'm joking!) I was excited to try the chili verde omelette and my husband got the steak bits and eggs. Both were delicious and we also loved the biscuits! I also appreciated that my home fries were crispy and brown - I hate when you get barely-cooked-potatoes that are supposed to be home fries! Our meal was tasty, the coffee kept coming, and our server was friendly and efficient. If I was a local, I'd be here all the time.

    When you're craving brunch and you're in the area, swing by. The menu is pretty expansive. I had a hard time choosing. Luckily when I'm in a group I can sample a bunch of stuff from others. The crab omelette, machada, and beef stroganoff omelet are fire! Great waffles too. Good coffee and plenty of seats. Service is great too.

    A great neighborhood diner up on the hill in San Pedro. We came for breakfast around 10 am on a Sunday morning and expected a wait. No wait for a table of 2. Awesome! After reading the many options, I chose the crab avocado omelette -- hey, we're by the water. It was huge, loaded with crab and avocado and topped with a tasty hollandaise. The potatoes alongside were crispy and plentiful. And they even made my toast cinnamon toast! That was unexpected and super tasty. Brewed iced tea, too (not that nasty fountain stuff). And there's even parking. What else could you ask for?

    Still great after all these years. Marinated Steak Bits and Eggs are the best thing on the menu. Don't forget to check the Daily Specials Board. Omelettes are awesome; especially the crab omelette and some of the specials. Get the house Pico de Gallo, even if you only have potatoes and eggs to put it on.

    Still gooooooooood.... Now that i live Las Vegas it was really revisit I do have my favorites in Vegas but what I love about this. It feels like home...and funny I believe it was at one time. Anyways food still good yes I should have gone for the pastrami sandwich instead of scramble...inside joke between my family that went that day. The service on point and very nice The decor...breezy beach house feel... Overall very nice visit and last time I was there i believe there was no Yelp or I didn't know about it...new mission to revisit ol stomping grounds and review them

    Best seafood omelette ever with the side of hollandaise sauce

And then this place popped up. Of course we were literally around the block from it beforehand. It's a cute little cafe nestled right among a cute little residential block. It's like a if you know you know type of place as it's not on a main street. Literally at the end of a block where's its basically homes. So a neighborhood cafe. There was plenty of seating as it was mid week during lunch time. We walked in which has an open concept with the wide window looking outside. There's a bar area with counter hi top seating and a nice patio out front with umbrellas covered tables. It was a little breezy but had to make do as we had the little pup with us. Checked in with one of the server which she informed us to have a seat anywhere we like. A good amount of the guest did occupied the patio seating which we did to as it was nice out when your in the sun but a little breezy. Menu wise, it's mainly breakfast and lunch. They only open till 3. We started off with the bubbly special which was a bottle and a juice. Can't have brunch without mimosas. For the price it was great, 21.00 I believe. Meal, they had a board right when you walked in with daily specials. We went with an order of the lobster omelette and the tri tip sandwich. Both on the special. It was between the lobster or Philly steak omelette which we were informed that lobster was a favorite among the guest. That was served with either house potatoes or hash browns and toast, biscuits. And the tri tip was with curly fries. Plus an order of onion rings to accompany the meal. Omelette was quite tasty as I wasn't quite sure with the ratio of lobster. Quite honestly, it was decent size chunks inside and a good amount of it. The hollandaise sauce added that extra touch to it. Everything was delicious. The tri tip sandwich itself was excellent. Served on a roll which was tasty and the sauce used was amazing. It just made everything work all together. Plus both the seasoned fried and onion rings were excellent. Both with a nice crunch to it. Service was excellent. Our waitress was a doll and the sweetest. Food was great and the mimosa's special was the finish touch to a nice brunch. The cafe itself was a cute addition to the neighborhood. Street parking along the front. Not sure if there's parking in the back. Overall, it was a great find and would definitely come back.

    My friend wanted to go here and I was taking him to breakfast, so we did. When I lived nearby I…read morewould have picked the place next door. So this may have been my first (and last) breakfast here. My friend got the breakfast quesadilla, which was oozing with cheese--seemingly low-quality cheese, that gooey-looking kind. A little paltry for the price of $18. Why no beans on the side? I was considering the lobster omelette for a whopping $25 and the waiter raved about it and I let myself be persuaded. It was terrible! Drenched in a creepily orange supposed hollandaise (as we know, see photo, Hollandaise sauce is not meant to be orange), which looked like it was poured from a can. Thin and no lemon. Just some cheap flavoring. The waiter insisted that they had "made it this morning," so maybe they made it from a powder from a packet? I was starving so joylessly I ate nearly half of it and then subsisted on eating most of a generous serving of hash browns. Perhaps I was too timid. When the waiter did not offer any compensation, or to get me another plate of something else, I just dutifully sucked it up. Then he asked if we wanted coffee cake -- which should have been on the house, since he clearly realized I was not happy with the lousy omelette. If I'd not been with a person I was only meeting for the first time, I'd have been more plaintive, but I did not want to embarrass them -- they live in the area, and I do not. But just YUCK. When another friend joined us to sit and chat after our plates had been taken away he told us how he'd given up on this joint. I suggest something be done about the food quality and value.

On my way to work, I work nights, I ordered via Yelp as always, and as I'm pulling up the shop, I realize I don't have my wallet. @#%$!! I'm friggen hungry, I look at my watch, I don't have time to go back home and get my wallet and still make it to work on time. I decide to walk in and tell them that I'm sorry to have ordered what I did and not have the means to pay for it. I'm thinking, what a waste of food! So, I walk in and I tell the owner what happened and that I apologize. Before I can walk out he says, "Hey, that's ok. I recognize you and things happen. Go ahead and take it and get me next time." Wow! Amazing! NO ONE DOES THAT ANYMORE! Now I'm not saying these guys are going to give you free food, but I will say they have HEART. A lot of establishes have lost heart, but they have it! So that's my feel good story for the year. Enjoy that bomb sandwich land tell 'em Sarge from down at the docks sent ya!
