Richie's Diner Rancho Cucamonga Reviews
Nancy, our sever was a true delight. The cook got my hash brown crispy on both sides just like I asked. The food was delicious.
Great food Great service Great atmosphere. It didn’t take long to be seated even though it was pretty packed. Didn’t take long for our waitress to serve us. Didn’t take long to receive our food. Food was excellent.
Really enjoyed the bar B Que 👌. From the time we entered the restaurant we we're greeted with such a friendly 😀 and very nice atmosphere. The food was cooked perfectly. The portions were big enough that we ordered the sampler and soup. It was enough. The music was nice to reminisce to. rock & roll and cruising music. Don't forget the desert. German chocolate cake THE BOMB !!!! Ask for Natalie. She has the nicest laugh 😃.
Great food, staff is very attentive. Food is always consistent and coffee cup is always full. Francisco does a great job as a server and is great job taking care of us.
Every employee was so nice including our server, Natalie and the food was very delicious. I would definitely come again!
Had a swell time here at Richie’s. Lorena was a great waitress. Tended to all our needs. Would definitely come back again with the family!!
Been coming here for years. Best breakfast tri tip in the world. I have had the same server for all that time as well. Service makse all the differen e and FRANCISCO always has a smile when we come in. He makes it worth it as well.
Yolanda is awesome and always takes great care of us. Erika the hostess was very friendly and did a great job too. They are both great assets to Richie’s
Big shoutout to Francisco at Richie’s Diner! The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. He was very attentive, friendly, and professional. My family and I had a great experience and truly enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!
Madison, thank you for the wonderful attention at lunch. Your service was excellent, and the cooks prepared a delicious brunch. We enjoyed every morsel. The manager was extremely kind to bring us a lid for the salsa and greeted us with warm smile. We shall return soon!
Best service ever! The gentleman manager is always really nice and welcoming! Food is great too! We would definitely come back again! From the Mobile Tire Service family! Thank you Richie’s!!!!!!
Richie’s Diner is one of those spots that reminds you why the good old-fashioned family diner will always beat the trendy places. Every time I walk in, the staff treats you like you’ve been part of their family for years — genuinely friendly, always attentive, and never rushing you. That kind of service is rare these days, but they still do it the way it’s always been done: with pride and heart. The food? Man, it hits the table fresh, hot, and full of flavor every single visit. Whether it’s breakfast, a classic sandwich, or one of their big comfort-food plates, you can tell they care about doing things right. Portions are generous, recipes feel traditional, and everything tastes like it came from a real kitchen, not a corporate playbook. Richie’s is exactly what a family-style diner should be — warm, honest, and consistent. It’s the kind of place where everyone smiles at you, remembers your face, and makes you glad you stopped by. Highly recommended.
My husband and I stopped in for dinner. Richie’s Diner is one of our favorite places in Rancho Cucamonga.He had the Chili Cheese Burger with tempura Green Beans and I had the 1/3 Cheeseburger with Fries. Both were tasty. When our server, Natalie M, came back by to check on us, we couldn’t pass up the Turtle Sundae. It’s enough for 3 people. You must share it!
My family of 4 went Sunday about 10:00am it was very busy.. Our waitress Paulina very nice n helpful with a smile.. Food was delicious.. I’m giving this a BIG 5 because it seemed like all customers n staff were HAPPY 😑
Our families favorite place to go ! Food and service is always amazing. Francisco is always welcoming and so helpful. We love it here !
Came here this past Friday night on a recommendation from my parents. I never leave reviews but I have to let everyone know how GOOD of an experience we had. From the start, Jimmy (the manager) was exceptionally hospitable and even told us we can pick out our steaks since we told him that’s what we came for. He then handed us over to our waitress who was pure class, highly attentive and extremely polite. Appetizer (potato skins) were on point. The side salad (pre steak) was fresh and a good portion. And the main entree, a nice sized Ribeye came out perfectly cooked, sizzling hot. My son even ate most of his grilled cheese. We will be coming back, and hopefully Jimmy and our waitress are there this next time around. I couldn’t recommend this place more.
Tonight my husband and I went to have dinner to Richie’s Diner, at first I was a little annoyed because they took long to bring us our food. But after our server came to apologize very nicely and then we heard how the manager was being so nice and his kind words to the birthday boy that was sitting next to us. That made everything so pleasant. Of course our food and desserts were delicious. I will definitely be coming back! :)
Great food ! We walked up and saw a huge smoker in front of the restaurant. Baby back rib and smoke chicken are a must! Vanilla ice cream is to die for. Our service Bryan was patient and consistently check on us.
Everything is delicious. First time trying the smoked porterhouse. Never a long wait for some reason,I still can't figure that out. All the servers are super helpful.
Richie’s Diner is a great place to dine. Love the ambience, music, and delicious food. They serve the best steaks hands down cooked to perfection.The restaurant is clean, warm and inviting. A bonus is the manager Jimmy who is AMAZING treats us like family. Jimmy treats all his customers with kindness and respect! I highly recommend Richie’s Diner if you have never been.
The atmosphere is very reminiscent of an old-school diner and patriotic which we truly loved, The food we had was delicious, and Allison was our server and she made it a perfect trifecta!! This was our first time visiting and we definitely will be back and will specifically come back on Friday night so we can have Allison as our server. She is very friendly, very attentive and a true asset to your restaurant.
What a great and caring staff. Shoutout to our to the girl who sat me, Franco who took my order, and the woman who brought me my second coffee. The manager gave me a card to review this as I left and he was not pushy or anything like that. He just asked kindly and honestly if I would leave a review. I’ve never really left one of these before. I was born in 1998 in a small town in Massachusetts and we have no Richie’s there that for sure. I think about Rich Snyder, the president of In N Out at only 24 years old. Wow! Truly a powerful namesake for such a great place to have. I think about him dying in that plane crash and I weep. Try the kielbasa and glazed ham.
Has the 50s diner feel. Great choice of foods and every meal I've had has been outstanding. I personally have not had them, but the desserts and malts look amazing. Their barbecue items are grilled fresh outside and look and smell delicious.
Madison was our server. She was super attentive and patient as we forgot to check the menu while caught up with one another (many years since we'd seen each other). The food came out fast and it was delicious. The Senior Breakfast Special is top of our suggestion list.
This place was awesome. We were greeted warmly and immediately shown to a table. I had the sweet potato pancakes and I would absolutely order that again-very yummy! My friend had the trip top and I got to sample a bit and it very flavorful and juicy. The managers came by to check on us and offer refills. All in all- fantastic service, amazing food, and friendly atmosphere. We will be back!
Great place, food was amazing, server was excellent and funny too. Server was Francisco/Paco, great guy, make sure to give him credit where it’s due.
This place never lets me down! Last night I ordered the steak and shrimp with the loaded baked potato. I recommend sharing the loaded patatoe. It’s is real big!! Costumer service is good. The only thing I would say if you’re trying save at the wallet be careful on all the little extras, they charge pretty high. I was charged $2 just to add cherry in my coke! They got a little busy and forgot my asparagus… and took a long time to bring it so make sure you got everything on your plate.
My family and I, along with my brother’s family, went to Richie’s Diner in Rancho Cucamonga to celebrate my nephew birthday, and I can’t say enough about the incredible experience we had! From the moment we sat down, Francisco, our waiter, brought such positive energy. He was attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel special with his top-tier service. It felt like he was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs. But the highlight of the day had to be Jimmy, the general manager. This guy was full of jokes and laughter, really adding a personal touch to the celebration. He overheard us talking about my nephew’s birthday and made it an unforgettable event, joining in the fun and ensuring everything was perfect. The vibe at Richie’s is so warm and welcoming, and it’s clear the staff truly cares about their guests. I highly recommend Richie’s Diner if you’re looking for great food, amazing service, and a fun atmosphere. My family and I will definitely be back soon!
We came here for my sister’s birthday and had a good experience. The food was very good and the service was outstanding. Erika W, Victoria and Jimmy Z were friendly, very attentive and made our celebration extra special. We’ll definitely be back!!!!
Yolanda was the absolute perfect server I ever had! She took great care of me and my friend. Never had to wait long for her to come and check on us and gave the best recommendations. Loved her energy and service. Gave her a big hug right before we headed out! Thank Yolanda
We decided to stop at Richie's Diner on Saturday, Nov. 30th as we arrived from Big Bear. I ordered Blueberry Pancakes, Hash Brown, and Bacon. The server offered me the plate that would be better price. I appreciate that. I would only recommend the kitchen staff to sprinkle the powder sugar a little better. Overall, I enjoyed eating with two of my older siblings, the kiddos and my parents. They picked a good area to sit our big group. Thank you for the other servers checking up on us. It truly showed me that this team works together, especially on a Saturday morning when it gets busy.
The atmosphere was so great with merchandise all around. Feels like a throw back diner with great music. The food is cafeteria style taste but in a good way. The service was so friendly and always smiling. Wish I could have brought my dad here because of the nostalgic feel. I will return and try the meatloaf or a grilled steak from the outdoor BBQ grill pit.
Madison was a sweetheart! She was great at serving us! Took the time to ask how we’re doing make sure me and my friend were good. Great hospitality
Wow, this place has amazing steaks. I ordered the ribeye steak and eggs with potatoes, and the flavors were simply amazing. Compliments to the cook's. They were pretty busy for breakfast. The wait time was 15 minutes or less well worth the wait time. Our waitress was friendly and checked in on us frequently .and they also had a waitress refilling the coffee ☕️ . I highly recommend this restaurant. 👌
It seems we come here often yet Ive never left review. So here it is. The service and the food here are always great. Reasonable prices too. This is one main reason I return. Great portions and good taste. For breakfast I enjoy the pancakes and breakfast potatoes with my coffee that they keep filling. I dont ever have to ask for more, they are on top of refills. Their flavored Ice teas are also good. The shakes are yummy. They have good steaks and chicken that they make outside in the smoker. It's family friendly. I like to have breakfast/dinner here with my kids bc it's not super quiet and not too loud. Music plays in the background. Over all recommend this place for the quality of food, prices, and the friendly attentive service.
Francisco is 👍 great. Talk about delicious food. The atmosphere is most excellent. Food is fast and fresh. You have to try the smoke ham. The homemade jelly is lumpy which I love so you know is really jelly instead of 98% sugar and 2% fruit. Prices are a good value. July 17, 2025 six month follow up. I've been coming here for months on Sunday morning and Francisco is like a good wine. He keeps getting better with time. I love this place and his service
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there were an Olympic event for outstanding service, Madison would be taking home the gold, the silver, and the trophy case. From the moment we sat down at Richie’s Diner, she brought next-level energy, warmth, and genuine kindness that instantly made the place feel like home. Madison didn’t just take our order — she nailed it. Every detail was spot-on, refills appeared like magic before we even realized we needed them, and her recommendations were absolute home runs. She has that rare ability to be attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and professional while still making you feel like you’re her favorite table in the whole diner. You can tell she genuinely cares about her job and the people she serves. She turned a great meal into an unforgettable experience, and that says a lot. Richie’s Diner is lucky to have her, and we’ll be coming back because of Madison. If you’re eating at Richie’s and Madison is your waitress, congratulations — your day just got better. 💛
Allison was amazing at Richie’s Diner! She was so kind, friendly, and attentive, and really made us feel welcome!! She kept coming back to check on us even that she was very busy! The manager was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. And the food was absolutely amazing! We’ll definitely be back.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would!! Absolutely amazing from the second we walked in to the second we left! The music- sooo good! The deco and design, perfect!! Our waitress Paulina was a rockstar, the man who brought our food handed everyone their plate with such a flourish that everyone was smiling when he left and Jimmy - was a doll! So fun! He even made sure to announce to the whole restaurant that a man nearby was celebrating his last day of chemo which of course got an applause from the whole restaurant! And last but not least- everyone was totally stuffed and Loved everything they ordered! This will for sure be added to our list of restaurant faves!!
I’m 35 and so far in life Anna has been the best waitress me and my wife have had yet. We have 4 young kids and it’s not easy. She made it easier for us as parents to enjoy ourselves. Well done 👍
The restaurant manager, Camillo, provided outstanding customer service during my visit. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. They checked on our table, addressed our needs quickly, and created a welcoming atmosphere. Their professionalism and positive attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. Excellent leadership and exceptional service!
Always terrific food. Hot food hot, cold food cold.. Madison, our server was, very convivial! attention to detail, attentive and friendly. Very refreshing to see a young adult with a nice attitude and obvious caring work ethic. Thank you Madison!
Natalie is seriously the Amazon of this location. Whatever we needed she got it to us fast and without a problem. My coffee was always topped off and she gave us time to dive into the novel aka the menu without feeling rushed. The food was excellent and the pumpkin pie was nice and spicy. Loved everything about this place, and I'm a first-timer. Thanks guys!
I had a very nice experience there. Our server Madison was so awesome. I never ran out of coffee which is a bid deal to me. She also remembered pur banana muffin to go. Love the people there. So friendly. Food is soooooo good 😋
Wow! This place was impressive, with a great atmosphere, service, and food. The food is fantastic, and their Five Berry Jam is so delicious i bought a jar for home. My husband had the pork chop breakfast, and it was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked, nice, and juicy. I had the spinach omelet, and it was the fluffiest egg white omelet I have ever had, not watery at all that sometimes you can get with this kind of omelet. Filling as well. Food is done right here!
Walking into this place is like stepping into a 1950s time capsule—classic tunes fill the air, and vintage memorabilia lines the walls. We had the pea soup and turkey melt, both full of flavor and warmth. I went for the chicken fried steak with over-easy eggs, perfectly crisp hash browns, and a fluffy biscuit with butter and their amazing house-made berry jam. Every bite was satisfying and rich with homestyle comfort. The menu offers a treasure trove of American classics, and the best part? You can order breakfast all day. And if you're craving BBQ, they’ve got a smoker going with delicious meats, plus juicy steaks cooked just right. It’s a spot where your cravings meet nostalgia. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. There’s a lot to take in—from the décor to the hearty portions. Whether you’re after a big breakfast, smoky BBQ, or just a slice of Americana, this place hits the mark.
Food was great but the experience definitely made it better by our waitress! Lorena was super attentive and kind! Consistently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we need. It’s rare to see that attention to detail these days but she’s one of a kind! Will definitely come back soon.
Came here with my family this Sunday 11/23. Excellent service and welcoming atmosphere. I can tell the restaurant was busy, however the nice young lady, Paige made sure we were taken care of. She made sure to pick up our waiters slack and made us feel like a priority unlike most restaurants nowadays… Will definitely be coning back!
I’ve been to Richie’s a handful of times and each time has been wonderful. I love the atmosphere and the food is delicious. My go to is the eggs Benedict with the country potatoes! This was my first time having a shake and it did not disappoint. By far what makes Richie’s stand out is the amazing service! We were served by Paulina and she was very attentive and kind. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and always checked on us to make sure we okay. This was some of the best service we have ever received. We will be back and would highly recommend Richie’s to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot.
Sarah C. was our server. She was super sweet and helpful! We enjoyed our experience and meal very much and we'll be sure to come again!
Stopped here for breakfast one morning.. hubby got the breakfast sampler and fell in love with the tri tips.. we got another order to go the next day, then ordered some dinner a few nights later. Would definitely come back, I would love to try some other menu items. The service was always fast and friendly.. we even splurged and bought a huge bag of taffy, jam and a shirt!!
We both wanted something easy for dinner before a movie and hadn't been to Richie's in a long time. Aside from almost too many menu options, the service was great, the food was tasty and exactly how we ordered it. It wasn't too heavy or greasy. The potato salad is delicious.
Our waitress Allison was amazing! She way so polite and very Attentive at bringing whatever we needed, thank you for your service Allison . We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager Diondre , Who was amazing as well , very courteous and we had a wonderful conversation before leaving the restaurant . We really recommend this restaurant. It’s amazing!
I’ve been coming to Richie’s Diner for breakfast for a while now, and the Richie’s Breakfast Sampler is hands down my go-to. All the meats are amazing, and the tri-tip is cooked perfectly every time (I get it medium-well). It’s by far my favorite dish here highly recommend! The service is always amazing, wait times are minimal without sacrificing food quality, and the atmosphere is a fun 50s diner vibe. Bathrooms are always clean, which is a huge plus. Definitely recommend for good food and atmosphere 🤍
Richie’s Diner has never let me down. I come by a few times a year when I can. I always have a great experience from the food to the service. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming! The 50’s diner feel create a great atmosphere. I normally go for breakfast and so far everything I’ve had from French toast to a breakfast plate with their delicious smoked meats and homestyle potatoes. I can never forget to add an Oreo milkshake to go with. The shakes are amazing! Again, I’d like to add the staff is so kind. I have had the pleasure of having Paulina as my waitress a few times now and she delivers the best service. So kind, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu she always gives the best recommendations when I ask!
Had a great experience at this diner! The food was delicious, came out hot and fast, and the portions were generous. Our server Paco was fantastic, super friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome the entire time. He checked in just the right amount and made sure everything was perfect. Service like this is why we’ll definitely be back!
Everyone was so nice, welcoming and super attentive as soon as we walked into the restaurant! Special thanks to the managers, for the extra attention they gave to our table, even though we were all taken care of us already! This was my first time visiting and I will definitely come back! From the moment I stepped outta my car, I could smell the sweet aroma of BBQ. The Food was great, nice big portions and everything was clean including the bathrooms. Happy Customer!
What an amazing experience. We have been to many restaurants, high-end, lower end but i can honestly say I have never had a manager staff like this. We were a large group so you never know what kind of service you will get. Karla was super attentive and spot on with everything. We had several children and told her it was one of the kids birthdays. Normally you get an ice cream and a song which is great. Here the manager was the one that brought the ice cream and staff to sing. He made a BIG deal for the birthday girl. They were all amazing. The food was great too. I HIGHLY recommend this Ritchie's. Thank you again to everyone there.
Karla was our hostess. Her constant kind presence and attention to all our needs was the highlight of our evening. We ordered everything she recommended and it was all absolutely wonderful. Elio ensured the BBQ was delicious and tender. We ended up taking a few boxes home. But we were simply delighted with everything that was served. This is my second visit and it won't be my last. The food is authentic, flavorful, filling. The atmosphere and hospitality made it difficult to leave.
One of the best country fried steak that I’ve ever had. Steak was tender and super flavorful. Wish it came with more hashbrowns but man the country fried steak was so tasty. I’ll definitely come back to try other items on their menu. I ordered delivery so unfortunately I couldn’t rate anything else other than the food but if their other items on the menu are as good as the chicken fried steak I think I found my new favorite restaurant!
My husband’s and I first time here. We went for breakfast. I’m so glad we got there around 9:30am because when we left they had a wait list. The food was delicious and the prices are reasonable. It’s super clean and very nice inside. The service was excellent. Kudos to our server Karla. She was very friendly and helpful with the menu since we told her it was our first time. Thank you Karla for the excellent service. We will definitely come back again. We highly recommend Richie’s Diner.
We had a great experience at this American restaurant, made even better by the excellent service we received from Lydia. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome from start to finish 😊. We started with the fried zucchini, which was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked inside. The clam chowder soup was rich, creamy, and full of flavor—exactly what you hope for in a classic chowder. For the main course, we ordered the triple barbecue combo, and it did not disappoint. The meats were incredibly tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor, cooked just right and very satisfying. Overall, great food, generous portions, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place—especially if you get the chance to be served by Lydia!
We visited Richie's Diner last week and it was outstanding experience . Because of my medical condition, I had special request for how my food (steaks) needed to be prepared. The manager, Manny personally came over, listened carefully to my concerns and made sure my food was prepared exactly as I needed which meant so much to me. That level of care is rare and you don't find everywhere. Great gentleman . Our server was polite and very attentive . Portions were generous, food was fresh, perfectly cooked and delicious . I highly recommend Richie's Diner to anyone looking for great food, exceptional service and place that truly care about their customers. We will definitely be returning .
Richie’s is one of the more famous diners along former Route 66 and I know they have multiple locations, at least three to my memory. I have been to the Murietta location, but this was my first time at the Rancho Cucamonga location. They both look very similar in that as soon as you walk in you find yourself in a very large and busy room filled with employees buzzing all around. You enter through the gift shop and usually don’t have wait long to be seated. We had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated for a table of two for our Saturday 10:30 brunch. They have plenty of booth, table, and counter seating available but no outdoor seating. There is also a giant parking lot attached right out front so there are plenty of spaces available. Our server was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. They really lean into the 50s retro diner so expect to hear some great tunes that you would find on a jukebox. We started off our meal with one of the giant Cinnamon Roll and it was really good. It was a little more dense than I like, but I still really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. It was a large size portion so it’s best to share. For my breakfast, I chose Eggs Benedict and substituted out the ham for sausage and thought it was a good addition. I tried to do it with chorizo because they have chorizo and eggs on the menu but was told that’s not possible so I’m guessing that’s because the chorizo and eggs is already pre-scrambled. Overall it was a great breakfast and I would recommend Richie’s to anyone in the area or passing through.
I always love coming here. Their food is always brought to our table fresh, the fries and ranch are delicious and the burgers are always a hit. I love trying new things they have on their menu too, and my server Francisco was attentive to not only me, but all the other tables he was taking care of as well. He did an amazing job. Thank you guys for the great time and thank you chefs for the wonderful food!
We loved this place! We found it after camping at Silverwood Lake, on our way home to the OC. The Diner decor is charming, the service was great, and the food delicious! We had breakfast. All the food was great,but my favorites were their glazed ham slice and their biscuits and gravy 😋. I wish Richie's was closer to our home, but we'll put it on our detour route every time we head to Las Vegas or camping.
This place is so very nostalgic. LOVE IT. This was my friend and I's first visit and we are fans. I ordered a Denver Omelet with home potatoes and the biggest English muffin I have seen. It was all exceptionally delicious. The home potatoes were cooked just right. Almost soft enough to melt in your mouth. I don't recall what my friend ordered, but he went on and on about how delicious the ham was. The smokey glaze. Oh yeah, he loved it. The service was great a well. I don't recommend sitting at the counter unless you want to get served from behind. However, you get a view of all the cool old school soda pop they sell. There are lots of nostalgic candies there a well. The music, just a very cool atmosphere! We liked it so much we went back 2 days later. And we will be back again. It's still lots to try.

This family owned business is very clean and they are all very friendly. The menu has lots of choices and the food was great. We woukd definitely come here again.
Irma, our server, was great. I had the tri-tip, cooked beautifully, and smokey good flavor, but the temperature was not hot. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Baked Potato. She was unable to finish it, it was so big. The chicken was beautiful on it. Could of used more cheese though. Took home a piece of Pumpkin Pie - O.M.G. ........Amazing!
Breakfast was good. Going back for lunch to try their bbq. Country potatoes are bland. Some seasoning salt on them wouldnt hurt.
Ehh not so good food. Burgers are great but fried chicken not so good and neither is pot roast... No flavor unfortunately. I wanted to love it. Soup is great too
Food is very good at Richie’s. The atmosphere and service are excellent. People working there are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is easy and casual with a few TV’s positioned strategically around to glance at while you eat. Had the Chicken Fried Steak which was OK wife had the 1/2 rack of Baby Back Ribs which was much better. They have a smoker and grill out front which ensures tasty and fresh BBQ. I won’t make that mistake again. The desserts are fantastic had the hot brownie sundae forgot to take pic which was excellent.
Breakfast: smoked meat sampler was really good overall. My wife got scrambled eggs and they were the worst I have ever had. Wife and daughter seriously questioned if they were powdered eggs but I was like there is no way. Once I tasted the eggs I wasn't so sure. The rest of the food was decent, not great. Based off of just the scrambled eggs, I could easily drop down to 3 stars, but hate to do that. Overall service was good and friendly.
Solid diner food. What more can you ask for? How about tasty Chilaquiles! Yes, this diner will bring peace to your family. "Whats for dinner? I don't know what do you want to eat". Everyone gets their favorite. As long as they like tasty food. Cause you got that one kid that is only eating food from Finland. Well that kid can eat ice cubes. But even that kid will light up when they realize this place is moving tons of banana splits! What!? Yep, there are piles of bananas for the banana split specials. So tasty.
Today we stopped for an early dinner, we ordered a rack of Baby back Ribs, their spaghetti with Parmesan Chicken and some breaded zucchinis, the ribs were falling off the bone, very tender and the BBQ sauce was just right, zucchinis are always delicious, however, the pasta was bland, we ended up rejecting that plate because we couldn't even start to eat it. Our server (Lorena) spoke to the manager and they just removed the chicken from the check, thank you for that, we still recommend this place for your next experience, my best recommendation is for you to try their stakes, grilled just outside the front entrance. Thank you for reading my review.
Spicy chicken sandwich plate a good Nashville variety and onion ring option a definite plus. My wife's chicken fried steak plate was a generous serving. But the real treat here was the 5-Berry Shake. Next time we won't share one, even though size is definitely big enough to. Also love the quick on and off location next to freeway.
Pretty nice place! I LOVE me a good 50s dinner and to say the least, this one hits in the ballpark of having that vibe. Bonus points for the lovely 50s playlist they had playing in the back, adding to the atmosphere. Overall, decent service and food. I had the clam chowder bread bowl and…it was good! Loved it, but the bread was a little chewy. Can’t say if that’s normal for a clam chowder bread bowl, as this is only my second one ever. But the clam was delicious and fulfilling. Would recommend.🥖🐚
If you're price-sensitive you might be able to find a better value at another Diner, but you won't find the same experience or amount of menu options elsewhere! Food was great, service was friendly. Would come back to meet up for a bite sometime if I was in the area. If you're in the area I would recommend, especially if you like BBQ and steak.
Good food steaks and ribs are bbqed in front on a real BBQ nice touch \nServer Paulina was amazing, highly recommend try
Great breakfast spot in town. Got some scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and steak. Everything was yummy and reasonably priced

Cool atmosphere here, had a busy truck stop diner vibe going on. Unfortunately the food is subpar and pricey. Belgian waffle was super dry, tasted like the kind you make yourself at a hotel breakfast. Breakfast potatoes were way under cooked, couldn’t eat them. Hollandaise was gritty and tasted off to us. Eggs were cooked well with the exception of scrambled which seemed to be made from egg mix. Kids meals were very small.
My family and I drove from Beaumont as we normally do twice a month, to have breakfast, but our server yolonda treated us terrible, serving us cold breakfast, even after I ask her to double check my waffle, because lately its been given to us cold, sad to say it was cold again, and yolonda was annoyed that I complained, she purposely avoided our table and never made eye contact, my family and I were shocked, all thease years, of coming here, and to be treated like this! Unexceptable.
Bad experience, the place is loud, smoke filled from the outside BBQ grill, bad service waited for ever to be sat at the counter.... waiting forever for a server to take my order finally left after driving a cup of bad coffee. It might be a great place for some people who are a lot more forgiving, I do not recommend this place at all... the breakfast menu was not impressive at all.
First time at this restaurant. Even said that as we entered. The Man behind the counter greeted us and welcomed us and said this lady would take us to our table and another would come along and take our order. We got to our table and ran through the menu and decided what we wanted. We waited and waited and waited. After about 15 minutes we decided to leave. I told the three waitresses standing at the counter that there is too many waitresses here and not out there serving the customers. So we are leaving.
I have no idea why this place has such a high rating. My breakfast sampler was cold, and I had to ask my waitress to heat it up. The food came out so quickly that I had a feeling it wasn’t cooked fresh. The SOS were okay. I still don’t know what the hype was with all these high ratings on the quality of the food. Our waitress was sweet, so nothing against that, but I’m just giving one service advice: get rid of the rude chick in the front with a horrible facial expression. She looks like she’s mad at people. Terrible!
