My bf and I stopped by after our trip to Long Beach and it was amazing. We had the Carne asada and eggs breakfast and the French toast combo. Both were so good we DEVOURED the whole plate lol. Our server was amazing and very nice. The vibes and decor was cozy and very clean. Everyone was incredibly welcoming. Highly recommend!!! read more

First time here on 9/19. Place was pretty full with good amount of seating. Servers were really nice, but were not the best at refilling drinks. We tried the club sandwich, biscuits and gravy and the chile verde omelette. The club sandwich was excellent thick cuts of turkey and the fruit was delicious. The biscuits and gravy was ok biscuits were really soft like a cake. The chile verde omelette was tasty and potatos it came with were good with the sauce. Id definitely come back to try something different as well. read more

Casual cafe that serves breakfast. I had the Big Mini Breakfast, which included two eggs, a choice of 2 slices of bacon or sausage, and choice of potato, such as home fries or hash brown. I was pleasantly surprised you can choose toast or pancake and I chose a pancake. A solid typical, American breakfast. I liked the fact you can get once pancake as part of the entree, as opposed to having to get like 3, which would be way too much for me. The bell peppers were a nice addition to the potatoes. The pancake was soft and fluffy with a good amount of butter to spread. Overall, a good spot if you are wanting to have a simple American breakfast. read more

This is a nice, pretty good sized, casual diner that appears to be quite popular with locals and regulars.... judging by how friendly and chatty the servers are with many of the customers. I've always liked the diner concept. The way it's so down to earth, casual, and unpretentious. The only thing left for me is the quality of the food, and unfortunately, what we ordered was average at best..... not the best. My wife ordered the Ribeye (medium) with Eggs with a side of hash browns, and I ordered the Chicken Cheddar Melt sandwich with Sourdough and a side of onion rings. My wife's Ribeye was overcooked to well done and tasted very tough and chewy. Fortunately, we mentioned this to our server and she was more than happy to have it redone and suggested it be cooked medium rare, so that it will more likely to then come out medium well. According to my wife, the replacement Ribeye was much better. As for my grilled chicken melt, the chicken meat was quite dry, but I didn't expect a replacement would have done anything seeing how thin the piece was... it was obvious that such a thin piece of chicken breast, so I just sucked it up and ate it as is. I did enjoy the onion rings and side of coleslaw though... these weren't bad. Unfortunately, as much as liked this nice and casual down to earth diner concept and service, the food we ordered was just not very good at all. As such, I don't think we'll be back. read more

Wife and I came in for breakfast around 830 am. We're from out of town so we've never been or heard of this place before. Greeted and seated right away by friendly staff. We ordered the Suzy's scramble and chilaquiles with salsa verde. The scramble was very good, everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The highlight were the chilaquiles. They were so good I made it a point to tell them as we were paying the bill. We're from an area where Mexican food is on every corner and these were by far the best chilaquiles I've ever had. They'll be a bit spicy for some people so don't assume all salsa verde is mild. WOW, easy 5 stars read more

We enjoy coming here. Each time we come they provide impeccable service even though they are extremely busy. They have a great selection of breakfast foods and lunch items. The place is clean and can be a bit loud with it being so busy. They have their own parking lot as well. I enjoy their steak and eggs with sourdough toast. Since their homefries have veggies and onions in them I get French fries instead. I also order a side of crunch bacon. Hubby tries something different each time we come. He enjoys their scrambles, French toast and other items. Their food is always tasty and their prices are reasonable. They can get quite busy on the weekends so you might have to wait to be seated. Definitely a great selection to bring the family and seating for groups as well. We will continue to visit often. Be sure to check their hours as they are only open for breakfast and lunch. read more

Super delightful customer service. I ordered the Suzie's omelette takeout with biscuits and gravy. Omelette was hot fresh and good. Biscuits and gravy were OK. But I tend to be a little hard on restaurant gravy. Overall, it was a good takeout experience. read more

Great breakfast experience! Everything was fresh and delicious! Definitely be back when in the area. Highly recommend!

Vegetarian omelette no cheese no onion add green chiles w/biscuit and gravy for the win. Top 3 omelette of all time! Service is great. Not sure why this place isn't packed anytime of day. Well done Suzy! read more

One of our favorite local breakfast diners! This place is so cozy and has a charming old school diner vibe. Service and staff is always great. I believe it is a family owned business. Their menu is extensive and offers a lot of different options. I tried the chili verde omelette and the sauce was good and the carnitas were very tender. My boyfriend had the clubhouse triple decker and he enjoyed it. Their portion sizes are really big as well. Our usual favorites from here are the country fried steak (so so good!), the waffles or pancakes, and their country breakfast. Overall, this diner is solid and would highly recommend for a comforting breakfast spot. read more

When the pancake craving hits, there's only 1 place on my mind, Suzy's! This diner feels like it's been perfectly preserved in time, decades ago, when life was simpler. The staff here is always kind, and the food is off the charts. Our go-to is the Southwestern Skillet, and a stack of pancakes. Can't go wrong with bottomless coffee. So glad Suzy's is in my neighborhood, and I get to spend my money there, at a family owned business. read more

This place is absolutely terrible and I'm confused why management hasn't completely fired all of their staff yet. The female staff members absolutely suck and have ZERO customer service training. They are rude and ALWAYS GET the orders wrong. They never check on us and when they do and we ask for something as simple as ketchup they ALWAYS forget! The older, tall, bigger man with glasses that works the front of the restaurant ALWAYS gets our orders wrong. Apparently he's a friend of the owner and they refuse to get rid of him. This place needs to get NEW STAFF MEMBERS ASAP. They're all terrible. read more

Very cute homey diner !!!!! The menu has a lot of choices !!!! I ordered a special order and it came cooked just right and delicious!! The server was very attentive and came right back to our table with set ups and condiments!! A plus , they have great coffee !! Not all diners do but this one does !!!! read more

I've been coming here almost every weekday morning for nearly 3 weeks since my company relocated. I'm used to relying on MxDonalds or Starbucks for breakfast (I don't like to cook in the morning and I live alone) But Suzy's? There's something special here. They really care. The food is made with love. The atmosphere is so welcoming. The nice lady at the counter always makes sure I have utensils, salsa, a drink carrier..... even puts a little bit of tape on the drink hole of my coffee when I take things to go; so it doesn't spill. This kind of courtesy and thoughtfulness really doesn't exist in America too much anymore. But it does at Suzy's. And that's why I'll keep comin' back! read more

Wife woke up early on New Year's Day and wanted breakfast so we went here. We were the only customers in there for nearly our entire meal. My sweetie got the Country Skillet which is biscuits and gravy with hash browns and 2 sunny side up eggs, and toast. I had the short stack of buttermilk pancakes, with sausage and hash browns. And we both had orange juice. Everything was excellent. I loved the pancakes as they kept soaking up the syrup and I kept pouring more and more on them. Really good and will be coming back often. read more

I'm sorry to say, the service was horrible, our waitress got the wrong order then delivered our food which was okay, our waitress never came back to check on us, we asked for an item to go, which she never brought to us, but made sure to charge us for it, we actually had to go ask for our to go order and then again they gave us the wrong item. My family and I have been going to Suzy's for years, my grandkids actually love it here. I don't know what wrong with the server, who by the way has been there for years. read more

First time customer. Went after having a Dr appt. Food was good. Not great. But for a breakfast spot, it's decent. I like that they try to give you a million pancakes with your breakfast. I opted for toast and they gave me the option of one or two slices. Service was okay. Had to ask for jam for the toast, hot sauce and then she brought the syrup herself. Will come back again to try other menu items. Servers seem to know the customers so far to say they have regulars. Very laid back vibe which I like and don't feel like they rush you out. I do wish servers came back more than once to check on you instead of chitchatting read more

Just got done having breakfast at this place on a Sunday late morning. I ordered the eggs Benedict with extra crisp hashbrowns and fresh fruit and it was truly delicious.. The service was great. The food was delicious. We didn't have to wait long at all and everything was wonderful including the music. They played Christopher Cross , America, Loggins and Messina, Bread, and more. I was happy and it was the perfect vibe for my Sunday brunch. read more

We arrived at 9:45 AM, and by 11:04 AM our breakfast still had not been served. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, so the long wait was very disappointing. My family was really hungry, and the service was extremely poor. Waiting over an hour for breakfast without receiving our food is unacceptable. Overall, it was a very bad experience.

I called Suzie's Café today about a cook position and was told the owner "doesn't want females as cooks because it's too stressful for a woman." That's adorable. I've been in the food industry for over eight years, dealing with real kitchens, real stress, and real professionalism -- all things this place clearly knows nothing about. It's 2026 and they're still acting like it's the 1950s. If their food is as outdated as their mindset, I completely understand why they're struggling. Ladies, don't worry -- apparently Suzie's Café thinks we're too fragile to flip a burger. But hey, at least they're upfront about their discrimination. This was 1/9/2025...Thank you to the lady who shot me down @ 10:30am! lol hope you keep your job, you can have em'. read more

The service is so so here and wait times can be long. Inside is clean and homey. Nothing special, but the food is very good and worth the wait. Eventually you move past the mediocre service once you realize they get busy and they try their best. First time here and this restaurant did not disappoint. Their food is very tasty and the coffee tastes great. Best part is the servers come around often for refills. Something worth noting: their pancakes taste great! Must order. We had various orders (breakfast and lunch items) and every single choice was well made and great tasting. Will certainly return to try other menu items. read more

Fantastic gem of a diner hidden in the nether regions of Santa ana on Harbor Blvd. Breakfast and lunch only. Service is always very friendly and attentive. This place has a wholesome feel inside, warm and homey. Breakfast served all day. Daily specials. I have had the Ortega beef melt which was really nice and I've had the Chipotle chicken sandwich which is excellent. The french fries are excellent and they have a nice seasoning on them. You can also substitute potato salad or fruit. Definitely put this in your breakfast or lunch rotation. read more

Unfortunately, the service needs improvement. We waited quite a while for our food, and it was confusing to see other customers who arrived after us receive their meals first. Hoping this was just an off day, but it definitely impacted our experience. Waited too long and we eventually left. Not acceptable. read more

Ok I have always liked this place for breakfast as the food is unbelievably good, the portions are large and the service is outstanding.

Sometimes it's the things that we don't see that are worth the time to try. I've passed by this place hundreds of times but have never tried it but now, I'm glad to have found this hidden gem! The restaurant is tucked in a business strip of buildings and was easily accessible. We walked in, and saw how busy it was on a Sunday morning. After getting seated, the we ordered and our drinks were served shortly after. The coffee was great! Refills came fast and hot! We ordered the Rodeo with egg whites, chocolate chip pancakes, Country fried steak and breakfast special. There was quite a bit of wait for our orders, but not unreasonable considering the amount of people. The food was flavorful, cooked well and portions were generous. I had a great time at Suzy's Cafe with its satisfactory service, good food and portions! There's nothing I could knock it down on and at the same, nothing that really stood out. Wouldn't mind coming here again and would recommend a try! read more

I'm disappointed to update this review and deduct stars. While I believe everyone here is incredibly friendly and attentive, there's one server who consistently lacks attention and, at times, even rudeness. I visited today during Memorial Day, which was a busy time, but the atmosphere was not unusually crowded. However, I've had at least three to four negative experiences with this particular server. I often tell myself that maybe it's not her day, but today was truly devastating. She didn't check on us once until the very end of our meal, when she finally dropped off the check. My food was particularly disappointing. I ordered a country fried steak and eggs with hash browns. The gravy on my steak was cold and had thickened due to the cold temperature. The hash browns were overcooked and almost burnt, and the toast was cold as well. It was not warm, and the butter had made the toast soggy because it had likely been sitting at the window for a while. I don't think this place is inherently bad, but every time I get her as a server, I have a negative experience. I never seem to remember her name either. read more

Food was very good 2 bacon and 3 eggs. They say 2 strips of bacon but they put 6 strips on it and the bacon was cooked as I had asked. They bring water and Coffee the coffee was a gourmet coffee. It didn't leave a horrible after taste on the palette. The service was very warm and friendly, they bring refills without asking! Without a doubt I'll be back! ProJoe1950 read more
