Classic American restaurant, and they claim themselves as the oldest one in Pleasant Hill, too. Most choices on the menu we tried are decent. My favorites are philly cheese steak and country fried steak. The picture was a bay shrimp omelet though. The only thing to pick about is that CASH only.

I ate there this morning, always a treat whenever I go . Chicken fried steak was great and fast service too . Eat inside or patio

From the outside, it doesn’t look all that special, but the food was surprisingly good. The service was generally good and the prices were also decent. I ordered the country fried steak and I ended up cleaning the plate. I will definitely be back when I am craving some breakfast.

Giant Chef is a great spot for a relaxed and satisfying dinner. The menu is extensive, with plenty of options to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the laid‑back ambiance made it easy to sit back and enjoy the experience. Nice tunes playing in the background added to the overall vibe. We ordered the cheeseburgers, which were packed with flavor and came with a generous side of crispy fries. A solid choice for good food, great service, and a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

Pretty great burgers, of course the patties are third pound which might be big for some but I regularly eat whole pound burgers so I went for a double (not on the menu for some reason). Also had a patty melt on the side, definitely very tasty and nicely juicy beef. Very nice vibe and decorations with comfortable seats. Kind waitress too. Excited to try out more of the menu, possibly 5 stars if I like more of the dishes they offer.

The food is good. Service and ambience are okay.

Tried the Ruben and the corned beef was a little tough. Otherwise it was a good lunch. Staff was very friendly and Service was quick.

Great breakfast spot. Have never been here for lunch. Cute diner. Old school feels. Huge portions. If you're used to normal portions, order a mini size. Coffee is weak. But the servers will top it off consistently. Can get full In the AM, so get here early!

My first visit! Can't believe I didn't know about them before now as they have been in business since 1958!! Nothing fancy here, just good diner food. The place is clean, the staff friendly and prices are good. Bring cash, they don't accept credit cards. 7/22/2024 It's been awhile since I visited last... There are changes. The menu has expanded, they now take credit cards and you can get food delivered. This time I had the Loco Moco and my friend had the Chicken Fried Steak. Both were really good.

Old school diner with great staff and traditional diner fare. Food came fast, but was under cooked. Ordered the eggs benedict. The hollandaise sauce, which is notoriously challenging to find made from scratch, was good and seemed house made, but could use more lemon. The muffins needed to be toasted longer, and buttered. The eggs had runny whites. If you visit, maybe order the french toast instead, which looked fantastic.

I heard about break in and drop by to support . Walking your greeted by the staff , open seating at this time as it was early and no line or waiting. Ordered the steak sandwich and 3 over easy eggs…

chicken fried steak smelled off. Place was dated and food ill prepared. Maybe I just hit them on a bad day

Heidi Dunbar

The food was good and portions generous but nothing out of the ordinary. My friend had the fish and chips and those were pretty good.

When I heard that my fav breakfast place, Heavenly Bistro bought Giant Chef, I had to try it. At Bistro, the food and everything else was outstanding except for the limited parking. This was reversed for this place. We found plenty of parking though it was there was a terrible rainstorm going that morning. All the tables in the main dining area was full so we ended with one of the last tables in the covered patio area. Much to our disappointment, our crab/avocado omlette wasn't on the menu. So I chose the smoked pork chops with hash browns and eggs. The chops were thin and seemed more like 2 slabs of ham. The hash browns lacked the crispy crunch of Bistro and the creamer were packages instead of in a dispenser. It was ok but 2 steps below Heavenly Bistro's dishes. In the patio, the table next to us had a leak on the roof and the floor flooded on the other side of the patio. I asked the chef if the crab/avocado omlette would make the menu here and he said, "No chance." Oh well. At least we tried it.

First time to try breakfast here. Generous serving, good service but food lacks flavor even after we added salt and pepper (based on our preference). It's a classic breakfast place to try.

Just finished having a late breakfast and apparently I took too long to eat because the staff started cleaning and turned the lights out in the dining room!! I was pretty shocked... The food here is good but apparently the service and management isn't!! Came back on May 18th and there is a new menu:

Visited a few days ago for breakfast. The grossest thing I’ve ever ate. It’s 2026 and they serve pancakes with…. margarine… The rest of the food I ordered was dry. Service was rude and had to wait 15 mins just to place order. Idk why they’re still in business, honestly.
