THE diner in Palo Alto. Nice and friendly atmosphere with tables both indoor and outdoor. The furnishings indoors is classic diner style and so is the menu. We had mimosas, chocolate shake, ham and cheese sandwich, omelette, and homemade fries. Everything was very good. Will come back!

Great spot for breakfast! Such a gem near university ave. The portion is a bit small for its price. We ordered burger, Hawaii French toast and sausage breakfast. The French toast is great! I wish they put the syrup on the side, so it won’t be too sweet and soggy in the end. But overall it’s a great brunch. We sat outside with heat lamp. Host sat us down after our parties were all arrived. Very accommodating and helpful. Interior deco is very cute with retro style. Will recommend to sit inside if you have no dog. Good found! Highly recommended!

I have been going to this place from 5-6 years now. Very vibrant retro place. This place was founded in 1923 and don’t forget to go through the historical theme inside the store. Pandemic caused them to expand to outdoors. Now they have both indoor and outdoor space. More the merrier. They have awesome and freshest breads, juices and variety of milkshakes. Great options for sandwiches, burgers and breakfast items. Their toast portions are huge, it makes sense to share that between two people. Rye bread is my favorite. Veggie burger is out of the world with delicious patty and super fluffy house burger buns. Their French toast is one delicious “not so sweet” treat with toasted coconut flakes. Person who greets you at the restaurant is very welcoming and enthusiastic. Place is dog friendly. Plenty free parking at streets and nearby parking garages. Free parking at weekend. 2-3 hour free parking during weekdays 8-5. I keep going to this brunch place frequently at different times of the da
