Plenty of parking. Upon entry quickly greeted. Also open to sit anywhere. Server quickly came over with a friendly hello and what would you like to drink. She quickly returned and she had another person return within minutes to take our order. We chose a club sandwich with a salad and onion rings. Our order came out within minutes. Super great combo and our onion rings came with ranch and side of pickles without even asking. Our server came by to ask how we were and refill drinks. Super attentive and will definitely return and Highly recommend. Prices have gone up but with economy can't blame them.I'm glad we stopped in. read more

Salt and Pepper has been a staple diner in Fullerton for decades! It's taken on several changes over the years. Half of the place is a diner while the other half is a sports bar. Somehow, they manage to pull it off. You can opt for either side you like and both have comfortable booths and tables to accommodate you. This time we opted to sit at the bar on the sports side where you're surrounded by many TVs and a lot of friendly people. Adrian was our bartender/food server. He was super nice and efficient. They have a large selection of beers and a full bar for cocktails. Now let's talk about the food. They have fabulous pizza which they make right behind the bar area where you can watch as they smash the dough, top it with all of the ingredients and put it in the oven. They also offer every breakfast item you can imagine all day long. In addition to that, there are salads, sandwiches, burgers, and homestyle comfort food. The menu is absolutely a fit for anyone. Today I opted for the beef dip while my friend had the patty melt. We decided to trade half for half and both were delicious. We will keep coming back. It's definitely a great casual go to. read more

They are permanently closed. Phone number offline. Sad to see them closed! Been going there almost 35 years.

I was so incredibly disappointed with my visit here. As a former resident of Fullerton, I can't count how many times I've been here, whether with friends or solo, and always had a great time. However, my most recent visit on Sunday, October 26th, 2025, was probably the single worst restaurant experience I've had in years. After spending the day in LA, we stopped here on our way back to San Diego hoping for a memorable and comforting dinner. We entered around 5:30 PM and were seated right away by our server, who never told us her name, never seemed to know what was going on, and honestly looked completely disheveled the entire time. From the start, it didn't inspire confidence. We placed our drink and dinner orders after about five minutes of looking over the menu. When we asked what came with the omelettes, she replied, "You know those kinds of potatoes... I mean, you know what I'm talking about," which didn't exactly set the tone for a professional experience. And then we waited. They brought our drinks, and we waited some more. And waited. And waited. By 6:15 PM, our server finally came back, after nearly forty minutes of being completely absent and helping other tables, to tell us that our food order had never been sent to the kitchen. Her explanation? "There was a glitch in the system," followed by, "It's a new system, I'm not super trained on it." Whether that was true or not, who knows. What we did know was that we hadn't eaten in over seven hours, and no one had noticed as we awkwardly sat while watching other tables get seated and be brought their meals. We decided to stay, since she promised to put the order in "ASAP." But even then, no gesture of goodwill was offered; no appetizer, no bread, nothing, just a quick "oh, it's cooking now" and an offer for "20% off the bill." When the food finally came, things somehow got worse. The server brought my omelette and toast and said, "I know this is yours because she ordered the Delight Omelette and the cook made a Denver," with an awkward pause when we asked about the second meal. She said it would be out "in a few minutes." Ten minutes later, the "Delight Omelette" arrived, and we were absolutely disgusted. What was set down in front of us wasn't an omelette in any universe; it was a mushy, runny pile of undercooked eggs, completely inedible. Even the server looked grossed out and admitted it looked "disgusting" only AFTER we had brought it to her attention, as she did not even appear to inspect the meal when she delivered it to us. She took the plate straight to the manager, who was dressed up for the football viewing party and seemed more invested in watching the Packers/Steelers game than managing the restaurant. We watched her show him the plate and talk with him for several minutes. Only after that conversation did the kitchen start to remake the dish, which, unbelievably, took another ten minutes before it finally arrived properly cooked. When she finally brought out the Delight Omelette, she told us that our food would be "on the house," which, honestly, felt like the least they could do. Funnily enough, we realized we didn't even have utensils for the second meal because she had taken them away with the ruined dish (we had to steal them from another table as she never checked in on us again). A busboy refilled our drinks several times during our hour-plus ordeal, but once the corrected meal was served, it was like we stopped existing. No follow-up, no apology, nothing. Just avoidance. In total, we waited well over an hour for two omelette dinners. The table next to us witnessed everything, from the missing order to the raw eggs, and joked that they hoped their food wouldn't come out the same way. For a restaurant loudly advertising "Under New Management," this was a disaster from top to bottom. The lack of training, professionalism, and basic communication was shocking. This used to be one of my favorite spots in Fullerton. After this visit, though, I left not just disappointed, but genuinely sad that a place I used to love has fallen this far. What should have been a simple, comforting dinner ended up being the most frustrating restaurant experience I've had in years, and it had the potential for ruining our night had we let it instead of choosing to laugh about how awful the entire experience was. 1 star. read more

Wow used to be a great place with excellent service. NOW beautiful patio remodel but service has gone straight down hill. Note to owners it's the people that provide good service -get the RIGHT people. Was a regular now come in once in a blue moon. And not to mention they don't have single malt scotch. The owners are Korean and you don't have scotch -- REALLY!!! read more

Biscuits were my favorite part of the meal. Everything is really bland. Definitely put some salt and pepper on that bad boy. Hash browns were decent. Eggs were kind of oily. Chicken fried steak was just okay. My friend asked for the ribs despite it being breakfast and was provided with them. He didn't like that the sauce was just poured on top and not actually cooked into them. He said the sausages weren't any good and were dried out because of the way the were cut in half. Service was friendly enough. Bathrooms were beautiful and didn't match the dated decor of the main dining area. The bar looked fun though. read more

This is a special coffee shop, diner and sports bar. We're always greeted by friendly hostess Maria. Andres makes sure we never run out of coffee, "Coffee, coffee, coffee?" Yuri is a fabulous server and on our first visit she made sure to tell us about the weekday deals. We love coming for breakfast and we especially enjoy the 6 item weekday special. You get a lot of food, enough to share and it's delicious. They have yummy home potatoes and Denver omelette too. The pico de gallo is good and hot. I think we are officially regulars now. read more

Salt & Pepper - Weekday 6 Item Special with side of avocado and never-ending coffee. So much delicious food! - American Near Me - Fullerton, California

Yes lots of food and tasty also lots of tv screens for any sport friendly parking is available good for a large party

Don't even ask how I ended up in this place. The area is pretty dodgy. Think there were more people living out of their cars in the parking lot than people dining inside the restaurant. If you walk in with low expectations, you'll like this place. Food is basic but tasty, the service is fantastic, and the sports bar side has an unbelievable set up of TVs. They definitely went all in on that area. Would definitely come back if in the area - during the day of course. read more

The Salt & Pepper was an interesting experience. I walked in around 8:00 p.m., and the place posted that it closed at 10 p.m. I sat down at the counter to make it easier for my server. The place was relatively quiet. They do have a sports bar if you're into that. After scanning the menu, I ordered their seafood plate. The menu stated that it came with a couple of pieces of breaded cod, breaded shrimp, popcorn shrimp, a shrimp skewer, some rice, a roll, and your choice of soup or salad. I opted for the salad. The salad was the best part of the meal. Lettuce, croutons, dressing. Pretty basic. The seafood platter was a disappointment. The breaded cod was pictured as a couple of succulent pieces of fish; what was on my plate were overcooked skinny fish sticks. The breading was tasteless, and the fish was dry. The breaded shrimp tasted like coconut shrimp, not my favorite, and not what I was expecting when it mentioned breading. There were some grilled small shrimp. I don't know if those were supposed to be popcorn or skewered shrimp. Either way, I did not get popcorn shrimp and/or skewered shrimp, but I did get a couple of small pieces of grilled shrimp. They were tasteless. The rice had hard bits of grains in it. The roll was mainly hard, with about a third of it soft enough to eat. I did not finish my plate and did not take the leftovers home. The service was good; they kept my soda filled, which was truly the only plus. I am not sure if this was a normal night or if they decided to unload the bad food on me. Either way, it was enough that I would not give them a second try. What is the saying? If you get bit by a dog, it's the dog's fault; if you get bit by the same dog again, it's your fault. The Salt & Pepper ranked low enough that I can't see it getting better. A second visit is a pass for me. One last note and a HUGE STRIKE for me. The posted hours on Google Maps said they closed at 10 PM. I stopped eating around 9 PM, and most of the place was dark when I walked out. I was the last person there, and I believe they closed up when I walked out. They had to because the cook left at 9. Either they closed early, or they listed their hours online incorrectly. Either way, that issue needs to be fixed. I HATE going somewhere with posted hours showing they are open, only to discover they are closed. With that said, always remember that your mileage may vary. read more

Have been coming here for year with my family and everyone here is so hospitable and polite, the food is always good. This is our favorite place to come during football season especially because of the huge TVs, they even have TVs in the dining area if you don't want to watch from the bar area. Aurelio the manager always goes above and beyond for us and we love having drinks when Isabella is there bartending, she is the sweetest person and always checks up on us when we go and even if we order something she isn't familiar with she will go the extra mile to make what we ask and it's always yummy! We love salt and pepper and are excited about all the new changes being made, this place deserves all the love and attention especially the workers :) read more

Food is decent the staff is amazing. They are obviously thinned out by poor management. The main reason this place doesn't have a 3 star like it should, is because they don't have the NFL SUNDAY TICKET. A SPORTS BAR DOES NOT HAVE THE NFL SUNDAY TICKET. This was our go to for Sunday. Easily we would spend as a group of 3 150-300$ every Sunday. 3rd week of the season and they still don't have the Sunday ticket. This place was empty on the last Sunday I arrived. They didn't let us know about only showing local games until I had already ordered food and the game should have been starting. I had to speed to an ACTUAL sports bar and watch the game. read more

Growing up in the area, I have driven by this place thousands of times but never even thought to stop in. I had heard that they actually have a pretty happening sports bar scene, which I thought was so random (and interesting) seeing as how it's your typical diner type restaurant. I came in at lunch time. Lots of big TVs and screens, I can see this spot being a good place to catch a game or a fight. I got seated in a booth and I can tell there are a lot of local regulars who frequent. The menu has got traditional American breakfast, sandwiches, burgers -- in addition to Mexican dishes and pizza as well. Service was attentive and prices are quite reasonable (for this day and age). I thought it was cool that I was able to sub fries with fried zucchini at no additional charge. My California club was tasty as was the zucchini -- came out to $17 and change after tax (not including tip). All in all, I got the cozy diner vibe I was looking for, but I also found a place where I could go with friends for a drink and a game! read more

Took over an hour to get three orders, with no other patrons there ! the food was terrible ! The fried chicken was burnt and vegetables mushy/ the ham and cheese omelet was more like scrambled eggs and tasted funny, the hashbrowns burnt and cold, the fettuccini was just a few noodles with a ton of sauce ~ horrible food, high prices ! This is NOT the same Salt & Pepper restaurant is used to be ! read more

Jose is the best Server there, he is ther ein the mornings, he also has homemade salsa that you can request in hot or mild at the restaurant.

I love Salt n peper, but I can't stand the volume on karaoke nights. The signing itself is not bad, but the volume is ridiculous. You can't even talk to the person sitting next to you. Horrible. Avoid Tuesdays and Firdays!! The worst part is that the manager (former bust boy) didn't care when this was brought to his attention!! read more

They always have great service here, good is awesome. Family restaurant and bar with great atmosphere

Mediocre food. Came here for the high review. Turns out the only thing great is the cheap price. Greeted with rudeness by the waitress. Messed up our order in the beginning. Then, when my mate asked for hot coffee to be refilled. She bluntly announced to the restaurant "I was going to refill your coffee, but I can't, because you are sharing". From the start to the end of the dining session, I did not even touch my friend's coffee cup once. Zero star for the service. Be aware to be accused like a criminal when you dine here. I am not sure if racial discrimination plays into a factor as her unacceptable behavior read more

Great service and a good spot to watch all of your sports events the food is great and the drinks don't disappoint

Service is really bad. Waited over 15 mins to order and only 3 other customers in the restaurant. Requested condiments never brought them. The waiter/bartender got our order wrong and didn't want to change it. The manager on Friday nights is horrible and rude. Food is decent but over priced and serviced the pitcher of beer warm. read more

I've been here before and the service was better,not sure what happened today.

Very disappointed! read more

I didn't have the best experience with this lady/blonde server that worked here. The food looked good. They messed up twice. And even the third time. I didn't want it and lost my appetite. However, the only person that made experience GREAT was the manager Rogelio. He took care of us. I would come here again but with a different server, with healthier and stronger attitude. Again the server lady's customer service was not the finest, til the end. After complaining to the manager. Other than that I don't know her name, but I would definitely ask for a different server. read more

When you walk in, I'll be very honest with you. You'll notice right away that this is a place only for frequent people or locals. The man who was helping me out at the bar acted like he couldn't speak Spanish and looked at me like I was crazy when I was speaking to him Spanish, so I decided to talk to him in English, but throughout the whole time when he went to the back of the bar he was making jokes talking in Spanish and taking his time with my drink and with my food; he made me feel stupid for even asking for an Old fashion. What kind of bar doesn't have an old fashion?? Let alone the people that came at the bar where people that come in frequently on a day-to-day basis that he decided to have a very long conversation with them between drinks and he left me for a good amount of time waiting on him to be done with his own conversation. I would not recommend coming here. It's one of those bars that you say I'd rather just go to Buffalo wild wings. Places like this give a bad name to local bars and restaurants plus his passive aggressiveness wasn't welcoming. read more

First time trying Salt and Pepper and was quite impressive. From the outside you can't tell that it's a diner/sports bar. Once you enter one side is the diner and the other is a sports bar. We ended up sitting on the diner side. The waitress was friendly. We ordered mostly breakfast food which did not disappoint. The portions were enough to feed two people per plate. Everything we ordered was delicious! From the breakfast quesadilla to the lasagna, we left Salt & Pepper full and satisfied. Will definitely comeback soon! read more
