a diner from Ojai, CA
You've got to be kidding! Really bad!!!!! Starting off with the water, it had a funky taste. Ordered raspberry iced tea - no flavor
My sweetie ordered cherry coke - got bland iced tea. Sent it back.
Sent my iced tea back - got cherry coke. That was the beginning.
Service - couldn't understand the waitress (poor enunciation)...no personality - none. Ordered a sandwich - big mistake! Hot dip (roast beef) .... dry, no flavor, had a taste like it was going bad. Ate a few bites. Sides were bad....
Waitress asked once if everything was ok. Came back with the bill - noticed I hadn't eaten much. Asked if I wanted a box - ok - - didn't want to throw it out there- the guy who rang up the bill - didn't ask cuz he know if I said something I was gonna blow! So we took it home just to throw it out. When we got home, hence to say, I was in the bathroom. Sorry. I normally don't complain about restaurant food - but starting with the drinks it was bad ... and got worse. By the way, the restaurant had a strange smell when we walked in - I should have known. We won't be back.

I have been going there since I was a little kid. I like the music selections and the lime phosphate shakes!

The food was excellent. Service rating is low because server appeared to be a busboy instead of a trained waiter, perhaps because they were under staffed. He did not serve like an experienced server at an upscale restaurant. Downgraded ambience be

The food, cafe and service were excellent. Visited with a friend while in town over the Thanksgiving holiday and Andres and his entire staff were curteous, friendly and made me feel like I was dining at home. If you haven't tried it you don't know

Great steakhouse with a salad bar and an ice cream bar!!! Both their steak and chicken are good. I'm hungry thinking about it now.

Great diner. Generous portions and delicious breakfast. I have eaten there many times. Great cherry Cokes. I love the decor of the 1950's. Kids would love this place.

a diner from Cincinnati, OH
Nostalgic diner. Thick, yummy shakes. Food is good, but not excellent. Really enjoyed the decor and the atmosphere. Family-friendly. Will bring the family back again on our next visit to the left coast.
