Great, friendly service and very good breakfast. The Annette and Frankie omlette was a unique combination of sweet Italian sausage, avacado, and tomato deliciously spiced. Just order it! And just go there if you are in the area.. or not!

The bomb!! Best deal around this area. A good token was the 4 SFPD officers chowing down... And when they brought our food we had confirmation. Legit oatmeal, healthy hash browns, real maple syrup, appropriate portions for the price. Well done!

Pretty standard bfast fare. The french toast was good. As was the sausage. I would maybe recommend not going with scrambled eggs and instead opt for fried. They tasted very dense as if there was no liquid added to them prior to cooking them.

I love this place, especially for breakfast. I discovered it living around the corner and miss a good old classic diner. The owners are warm and welcoming and make it a point to remember your order as a regular. The Annette & Frankie hits the spot!

Exactly what you dream about diner food. Big plus, they serve the most excellent hash browns. The most stellar thing about this place is, even if you havent been here for months, the owner remembers your order and will simply ask, the usual? if youve been here more than once. Great service, great breakfast, great people.

Just a nice dinner with original counter and tables. The kitchen is open viewing and do I was able to see that nothing was frozen. What I did see was food prepared with fresh ingredients and plastic basket that you can tell was bought locally. Dont miss this for breakfast. Nothing fancy but a great dinner. Near the marina area.

This place was so nice! The breakfast was so delicious that we went back a second time while in San Francisco. We had the seafood omelette, pancakes, and hashbrowns. The server lady was adorable and had excellent customer service skills. Very friendly and sweet people. Would definitely recommend!

Breakfast was excellent. Try the crab/shrimp/mushrooms and green onions omelette. Theyre excellent. The potatos were good. But the hash browns were crispy and a lot better. The buttered pancakes were good. Although, the server was slow in filling my coffee mug. I would come back. Thank you

Small neighborhood diner opened for breakfast and lunch. Mom cooks and daughter is the waitress- just the two of them run the place. Went twice for breakfast, french toast with cinnamon and eggs, bacon and country fried potatoes. Delicious! fresh ground coffee in large mugs.

The service was great. I go in before they close to get my usual. (Mind you Ive only been coming here for the past 3-4 days. Its around the corner from my job.) Ive been ordering the patty melt with fries and a coke. But today I tried the vanilla milkshake. It was good. My boyfriend never had a patty melt until yesterday. He loved it!

Probably the dirtiest and most horrible place I have been to...ever. It got nice reviews here. Something must have drastically gone wrong. I felt sure that I was going to be sick afterwards. Also the service was totally non existent by bothered staff.

Local diner with good breakfast omelets, slow service, but considering that they only have one server for the whole diner, it wasnt so slow. I tried the diner special omelet, which is a crab/shrimp filled omelet, which was a bit greasy, but otherwise OK.
