Great customer service. Food is delicious. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a meal made with love.
Super friendly and helpful, the staff is exceptional. The food is excellent, tasty and seasoned just as you would like it, with the helpful suggestions of the server. She knows the menu choices well, and asks, if you want, what you are looking for in flavor and suggests an appropriate selection. The environment is bright and the restaurant is convenient to well traveled streets.
Great food and great service! Staff always friendly and the food is always hot.
Food was amazing! I ordered the tri tip combo (sandwich) came with fries and a salad. My boyfriend got the farmer's omlet with a side of toast. Overall great service and food quality.
Easy parking, extensive menu, my eggs were over medium and the waffle was fluffy and delicious.

Classic American breakfast. For veterans
It's pricey but the food is very good!
The Boys restaurant was a great choice for lunch! So clean!!!! I had a Chili Size, delicious chili! I had a side of onion rings and they were also delicious, made with real onions. My daughter had breakfast and raved about the biscuits and gravy. She gave her breakfast a thumbs up! The service was super. I'm looking forward to eating here again.
Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was fresh, delicious and great portions. Would definitely recommend!!
If you like old school atmosphere which we do this is the place. We came in last Sunday morning and had a great breakfast with excellent service. The prices were very affordable and there was no wait Sunday late morning 😊

I got there late. They close at 3pm. I had a great BLT sandwich. Very fresh. Didn't care much for Potato Salad. But?? Pickles were great. The place is VERY CLEAN. THE OLDIES, BUT GOODIES, is great!! Ya, can't sit still!! These are Good Ole, Boys!! I like the quaintness of the place. The propiertor, says they are very busy mornings. Try it!!
I've been coming here since I was a baby, and the service and quality has never once changed. The food is always delicious and comes quickly, everyone is nice and friendly, the atmosphere is great and the music isn't super loud like it is in other restaurants. Highly recommend anyone who needs a quick bite to eat (especially breakfast) to come on by and support a great local business!

Nothing special and not much for vegetarians to eat. Easily the best place to get breakfast in Santa Maria though. Kind of nice old-fashioned decor.

Breakfast and lunch more delicious than most anywhere without crowds most anytime. Hard to see from Main Street, almost hidden behind a pizza restaurant, across College Drive from Vons, but once you find The Boys you'll be back for great food and friendly service. NEW ADDITION I know that inflation has made the restaurant business, never easy, even more challenging, but as a customer who cannot arrive before 1pm, I don't enjoy being made to feel unwelcome before 2:30 by dishes crashing loudly as they are cleared from an adjacent table and vacuums competing with our feet for space. I understand the need to prep a restaurant for the following day, but disregarding courtesy to begin that process during operating hours may cost you a customer.
Nothing fancy, just a classic American diner conveniently located just off Main. Good breakfast. The gravy is very tasty. Great coffee too. 50s & 60s music playing. I like it!
Not a bad experience or place, just a pretty basic diner in my opinion. I brought my son here for some breakfast and it was alright. I got some Chilaquiles and he had a basic egg/hashbrown breakfast plate. They did have a MILITARY DISCOUNT, so that was nice. The place has a nice old school vibe too, ollld wood panel walls and gold peacock wallpaper!
No frills old school diner. I ordered a club sandwich and it was exactly what it should be, no more, no less. Staff was courteous, though the prices are a bit high for what you get.

Large menu with lots of options! The senior hash was good, the fruit was great. The service was good. The price was rather steep.
The menudo was horrible and I paid $20 for a bowl of 32 oz very little meat in it it was Friday and no flavor
