    Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Special
    Jay W.

    We always drive by this spot and decided to check it out one day. This place is a very small diner and it's always packed usually during breakfast and lunch. Walked in and the menu is huge. We decided to get the biscuits and gravy breakfast special and try the chorizo and egg breakfast plate. The service was great and the ambiance is very fast paced. Starting with the biscuits and gravy. It was on social for 8.99' and you got a choice of bacon or sausage, 2 biscuits and gravy, and 2 eggs to order. The biscuits was fluffy, hot, and soft. The gravy had lots of flavor. Everything about the plate was good. I gotta give it a 5/5. The chorizo and eggs breakfast could use alittle love, but they packed that plate to the brim. It's almost enough to feed two people. The chorizo and eggs could use alittle more seasonings overall I give it a 4.3/5. I def would come back here. They're known for their breakfast burritos and I see why, they are FAT!

    This place is perfect if your looking for that old school greasy spoon type food and atmosphere . The people are friendly and welcoming , the food is hot and really good , the service is quick and the portions are like we were once used to getting and the prices are reasonable considering. Make sure you grab some extra napkins !

    Great service, friendly staff. Deals on food/drinks, prices are reasonable and fast pace. The food was filling and made fresh. Tons of tables for inside and outside. Came here for breakfast with the hubby and he liked it a lot.

    Love Tom's place, especially the breakfast burrito. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. One of my go-to spots. Definitely recommend!

    Breakfast burrito with salsa. Split it with my husband.

    Satisfied! Hit the spot. Breakfast Burrito after a morning surf. Service is friendly and laughs at my husband's jokes.

    So clean inside and out!

    Stopped by early this morning and this place never dissapoints! The best burritos in town

    Pastrami Burger Plus bacon and cheese, with extra mayo. Good! Fries were freshly cooked to order. Next time I'll ask for fries well done.

    Fresh food! It's quick too. They have a drive-thru. I got the Pastrami Burger Plus bacon and cheese, with extra mayo. It was good. I wish the pastrami meat was thicker. It was like very thin sliced deli meat. Next time maybe I'll just get extra bacon instead of pastrami. The fries were freshly cooked to order. Next time I'll ask for the fries well done.

    Avocado Burger and side salad

    Husband brought us here for the first time with the kids. Great service, great food, great ranch dressing, great all around. Will definitely be back. I had the Avocado Burger with a salad (delicious), son had sausage burrito (he loved it), husband and daughter also loved what they got. Staff member with the pretty eyes treated us very well. Thanks Tom's.

    1/3 lb. Burger tasted great! Pleasantly surprised by the portion & freshness. Also, chocolate shake was rich! If you're looking for some tasty food, this small joint gotcha covered!

We came relatively early on a Saturday, totally forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day weekend and this place would be poppin (which it definitely was as the day carried on). We were seated right away for breakfast. On weekends, they don't start serving lunch till 11:45am, but we got to enjoy their breakfast. I didn't even realize they serve food. We were seated in the upstairs area which was pretty awesome because you got more of a view of the ocean! It was awesome. The guy that seated us was one of the brothers that works there and he was so nice! He told us to let him know when we were ready to leave because it gets crazy and people try to steal tables hahah. He even tried to get us to stay later and offered to buy us all a shot if we did, which of course, my family never says no to, so they all got to enjoy that haha. He was fantastic! Our server was also amazing though I didn't get her name. The staff here really is outstanding! To eat, I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of their fruit bowl. It was all really good. The food came out pretty quick which was great. My family all enjoyed their HUGE beers and mimosas. But really, the drinks look like they could be a bowl of soup haha. We loved it here and I'd definitely come back. Once the afternoon hit, they turned the music up for the St. Patrick's Day crowd. It was definitely a fun atmosphere!

Their food isn't too bad especially if you want to watch sports, enjoy greasy food with a friend, or need a quick bite after a beach day. I think kids are allowed until a certain time (but I'm not sure when) cos once the sun sets, they have a bouncer checking IDs. Lots of seating available. Service is ok. When you get inside, you can pick any table of your choosing and your server will find you. Also, the restrooms are clean! First time I came here, I tried the lemon pepper pterodactyl wings and sweet potato fries. The wings were kinda bland and needed ranch for flavor. The sweet potato fries were pretty greasy but went great with a beer. I've also tried their California Dreamin' burger with garlic fries. This burger was so yummy and filling!! The bun is like a grilled cheese and the toppings go so well together. The garlic fries were meh.

What I Love: * Unique Flavors: The food tastes great and they have some really unique touches. I love that they serve raspberry jam with their toast--it's a nice change from the standard grape or strawberry. * Homemade Quality: It's really cool that they do their own house-made potatoes and even their own homemade ketchup. You can tell they put effort into the details. The Drawbacks: * Pricing & Fees: I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could, but I'm sticking with 4 because it's definitely on the pricey side. What really bugs me is seeing a mandatory tip/service charge for certain group sizes on the receipt. Between the expensive menu and the fact that they are constantly busy with plenty of business, it feels like price gouging. * Parking: The parking lot is very small, so be prepared for a bit of a struggle to find a spot, especially since they are always packed. Final Thoughts: The food and unique house-made items keep me coming back, but be prepared for a high bill and a tight parking situation.

We ordered the combo kabob plate, the Bayshore pizza, and finished with baklava. The combo plate was much larger in person than expected and could easily feed two people, but we were hungry and wanted to try the pizza as well. The meats were seasoned very well and extremely juicy. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the beef kabob was soft enough to almost melt in your mouth. The Bayshore pizza was more of a pan-style pizza with a unique cheese blend instead of traditional mozzarella. Make sure to ask for the pizza dip too, it has a tangy flavor that pairs really well with it. The warm baklava filled with pistachios was a great dessert to finish the meal. Service was friendly throughout the visit, and I appreciated that the restaurant cooks without seed oils because the meal did not feel overly heavy afterward. The interior is upscale and cozy with fresh flowers on each table, and the atmosphere feels great for both casual dinners and events. They also offer catering and private parties, which made me consider coming back for a graduation event in the future. The kabobs are definitely the highlight and are worth trying.

And it came from a breakfast joint, which is super rare in and of itself. Having lived in Southern California for many many years, I thought I had seen and experienced just about everything in the way of good places to eat. As I was driving around looking for some breakfast, I stumbled across oeb breakfast. And I am so glad I did. For starters, when you walk through the door, the place is bright and Cherry and has just the right amount of whimsy. It's neatly laid out and everything is in full view. It only took a moment my server to come get me at the front and direct me to a table. Let's talk about the service. Having been in the food service industry, I know what it takes to have a great dining experience. Caesar, who was my waiter, took care of me in a level that I have not seen in a very long time. Personable, gracious, accommodating, and helpful are just a few of the words I would use to describe my experience being served by him. I asked for coffee and water and within moments it arrived on my table. Side note, the coffee is off the chain! It is a brand called Umbria and it is amazing. After scanning the menu, I opted for the beef bulldogi Benedict with the beef Tallow fries. I asked for the fries extra crispy, and ask for my milk to be served with breakfast. If you've read any of my Yelp reviews on breakfast places, you know that that is one of my litmus tests for the accuracy of the order. If I have to ask for my milk after the meal's been delivered, they're not doing their job. Not that I'm picky, for me. It is just a way to determine how good of a listener the server actually is. It didn't take long at all for the food to be delivered. The presentation was absolutely amazing, as we eat with our eyes. First, I have to say that the way the food was plated was definitely a work of art. Once the food was dropped off half of me was going. I wonder if they will remember... And before I could finish my thought Caesar showed back up with the milk. Home run! The food itself was absolutely wonderful, I cannot remember when I have enjoyed a breakfast as much as this one. All the flavors were there, it was perfectly balanced, and was just a pleasant dining experience overall. Bragging on Caesar again, as I was sitting there, the restaurant started to get very busy, he handled himself with such Grace and poise and didn't let the mounting tension frazzle him. Again, I wish this place was in my hometown so I could come here more often, but you can bet that I will be back here multiple times. Bottom line? There aren't many places that I would tell friends they definitely absolutely had to go to. But oeb breakfast is now on the top of the list for me to recommend to my friends.

Short Rib bowl: 8/10 everything in that bowl were amazing together. Banana Cream Pie French Toast: 4/10 this was a miss for me. Nothing amazing about it. The custard part was off for me.
