Today I am extremely disappointed. For my last several visits, the cook cannot get it right to make my hash browns crispy. Today I chose not to say anything. I gave up. Reason, I don't usually eat potatoes, but when I do, it has to be crispy. A very simple and easy thing to do. I'm going to take a break from this place for a while. Sad because seems like great people work here. The staff who work here are fantastic sorry had to give such a low grade. read more

It's a diner vibe in here with a variety of choices of waffle flavors. If you're into that and sweetness, there will absolutely be an option for you. I am a sucker for chicken and waffles so that is what I opted for that. I asked for berries on the side ($5 more) which came with blueberries, strawberries and bananas. I had 4 very different sized chicken. Same crunchy crispy bite with each. But it was just ok. Service was great. We had reservations and were sat right away. We were checked on and got our food in a decent time. read more

When I first walked into this restaurant, I was greeted so kindly and with such genuine enthusiasm. I was invited to sit wherever I liked, and from that moment on, the service was exceptional. My waitress, Diana, was truly outstanding attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. She even substituted a mimosa for regular orange juice so I could still enjoy the cotton candy garnish on top "candy cloud", such a thoughtful touch! The restaurant itself is absolutely adorable, decorated with a fun, nostalgic diner vibe. I loved the classic booths, the counter stools, and all the charming photos on the walls. Diana mentioned the decorations in the other room, so of course I had to check them out and take some pictures! Everything was just too cute not to! Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the tres leches specialty waffle with two pieces of bacon, two pieces of sausage, and two over-medium eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The waffle was so flavorful it didn't even need syrup, and the coffee was excellent, smooth, rich, and never bitter. Diana kept my cup full without me even having to ask. She truly seems to love what she does, and it shows in the way she treats her guests. I'm so happy I had the pleasure of being served by Diana today made the entire experience that much better. read more

Review #940 Posted on 9.30.25 We came here to eat on Sunday the 28th in between soccer games at the Soccer complex. We got sat immediately after arriving, and got a nice corner booth. The old school diner feel to this place is awesome. It's got a diner countertop in the front of the restaurant, then a dining room area with plenty of tables, a bunch to accommodate different size groups/parties. To touch more on the old school diner feel, they've got that bubble type leather seating, a jukebox (which I think was just decorative, not real, but still cool), photos of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean everywhere, and even a place you can take photos at. The many has a nice selection, you can do breakfast or lunch. Breakfast has a 2 eggs with protein type section, omelettes, waffles, pancakes, etc. We tried a lot. Country fried steak which was good. Ham steak, Omelette, has browns, & we tried the Dubai chocolate waffle too. We'll come back for sure again when in the area for soccer. read more

Fast and friendly service! Enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Platter. Eggs, sausage and bacon were all tasty. French toast was simply two smashed cinnamon rolls. Husband ordered the turkey sausage eggs Benedict. Simple but potatoes were pretty good. Might come back for a fruity pebbles waffle but that's about it. read more

Diana is the major gem at this place. Most diners offer good food and this is no exception. The flavored waffles and omelettes are worth the trip by themselves. But what distinguishes one diner from another is the staff and service. Diana is one of the best I've encountered at any diner. You would be hard-pressed to find better. I've seen her competently handle a rush that would leave another waitress panicked and overwhelmed. Another thing that helps this place is that it has a counter. For many people this can make a difference when eating by themselves. When you're by yourself, it's just pleasant. But sometimes a conversation will start with someone else at the counter. That can be a great addition to a solid meal. read more

OK, first of all let me say that this is the first time we have ever been to this place even though I was told that this place has been here for a while so we decided to try it out this time we had breakfast. I had my usual chicken, fried steak and eggs with the pancake And my wife had an omelette overall I say it's pretty good. Their country potatoes were actually better than the hashbrowns to me and usually for me it's the other way around so that was the difference Service here was excellent. The lady that helped us was very nice. Ambience was very good. I like the 50 style diner look Will be back soon to try out the lunch so I can raise the stars up so if you're in the area, try it out let us know what you think. I will put up a couple of pictures of my plate. read more

I really wanted to love this place, but the service was disappointing. We were seated quickly, which was a great start, but then waited nearly 25 minutes before anyone came to take our order. Not sure if it's because we were sitting on the other side of the restaurant but we didn't see a server in sight for quite awhile. By the time we finally saw a server, they had already taken a table's order that came 15 minutes after us and they were off to the other side before we can even signal them. Food came out fast, which I appreciated but service could have been a lot better. read more

The food was bland and uninspired. I hate cooked bell peppers and always look to make sure none are listed as ingredients in whatever I order. Upon trying the country potatoes (which were undercooked due to size probably) I found a few large pieces of cooked bell peppers which didn't look like they belonged so apparently they mix food while cooking. Biscuits and gravy are no more than heavy biscuits with white gravy heavily peppered don't expect sausage. The omelette was light on eggs, sausage was sliced sausage links not ground sausage like most places have. The hash browns were overcooked to the point just short of burnt, no butter was included for the toast. The best part of the meal was the side of French toast. Since we ordered to go, it's pointless to go and complain but Yelp will do. Not recommended for anyone who likes seasoning in food. read more

Food was absolutely delicious & quick! went on a saturday morning & didn't have to wait. we had the chicken & waffles, volcano omelet, and cinnamon roll waffle w/ eggs, sausage & bacon.

We came in on Sunday 03/08/2026, it was our first time there. Off top our experience was negative with the hostess. I came in to let her know it was our turn since the reservation no longer appeared on the yelp app. She asked for our name i gave it her. She stated you do not have a reservation and have not called you. I stated yes I do i came in and added myself on the waitlist showed her the message received. Again she states no but I can sit you anyways. She comes to take our drinks. She spilled the orange juice all on the table and utensils. She does not bother to clean it or bring new utensils. We had to clean it. I attempted to speak with the owner and she did not bother wanting to speak about it. Another waitress took my concern. Aside from the negativity the waitress was super sweet and food was good. read more

Hello, We came by for breakfast on October 18. During our last visit, there was no check-in table, but this time, a lady with long reddish hair and glasses asked us to check in on the tablet, which we did. I noticed a few open tables inside and thought the wait would only be a few minutes, so we decided to stay indoors. A few moments later, the same lady approached us again and told us to wait outside or in our car. The way she said it came across as rather rude. I've been coming to this restaurant for quite some time, and the staff are usually very kind and helpful. I haven't seen this lady before, and I hope she isn't the owner, because that interaction was disappointing. She could have simply said something like, "Please sign in and wait outside, as there are other parties ahead of you." I didn't realize there were others waiting since there were several open tables. Unfortunately, we decided to leave and go somewhere else. I hope she can be more approachable in the future. read more

I've always seen this place driving by and wanted to give it a try. The service is pretty average here, you're looking to be waiting all the time unless you come pretty early because it does seem to get busy. The food is okay here but I wouldn't really come back to this spot. The food doesn't look appealing but some food options were flavorful which was a plus. It looks really nice and spacious inside but the parking isn't so great up front. read more

My husband and I ate there on Martin Luther Kings day. Absolutely busy ! The wait was about 30 minutes to be seated. As we're waiting, we can't help but notice that there were only 2 cooks and 3 other ladies. These ladies did it all!!! Cashier, serving, busing tables, refilling drinks, cleaning tables and resetting for the next guest, answering phone calls, dishwashing. Oh my goodness...they were working their asses off. But with that said, once we were seated it only took about 20 min from the time they took our order until the food was served. These ladies still had smiles on their faces even though you can tell how stressed they were. They stopped and checked how your food was and refilled our drinks. The 2 cooks kept their cool even though tickets for orders were stacking up. Their work space was not that big for the amount of work that they do but they were able to manage it. Props to these awesome workers. We need more like them read more

American Waffle Diner - This was their restaurant week special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stockton, California

I visited this spot last weekend, and while the decor is trendy and fun, the experience was far from enjoyable. The interior features retro-style booths, neon signs, and photo-op areas which is appealing for social media. The menu offers a wide variety of waffles and pancakes with all kinds of toppings, which seemed promising. Unfortunately, the food and service were disappointing. When our food finally arrived, the waitress mentioned that the cook had made over easy eggs instead of scrambled. She asked if I would like to keep the wrong order which I responded -- no, I'd like what I ordered which was scrambled eggs well-done. When she came back with the remade eggs they were not well-done. The bacon tasted old and stale, as though it had been pre-cooked in bulk and left sitting around. The hash browns were no better--bland, soggy, and lacking any crispness or flavor. I didn't bother trying the sausage. The only edible thing on my plate was the banana pancake, which was decent. The service was another major issue. Our waitress didn't check on us even once after taking our order, leaving no opportunity to address the issues with the food. Meanwhile, other tables around us were being attended to by different staff members. At the end of the meal, I didn't touch any of my food except the pancake. When I went to pay, I politely asked if I could just be charged only for the pancake since I didn't eat anything else. The waitress agreed but said she'd have to charge me for the extra toppings, which I was fine with. Overall, it was a horrible experience. This spot seems to prioritize creating a trendy, social media worthy environment over serving quality food or providing good service. If you're looking for a fun photo op, this might be your place. If you're looking for a decent breakfast, you're better off going to McDonald's--it's cheaper and better quality. I have added a photo: The end of my meal. The seasoning on the hash-browns is from me trying to add some flavor. Old and burnt sausage and bacon. Barely cooked scrambled eggs. read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome. We arrived a bit early there were no others there so we got to pick where we seated. The diner was definitely giving an old school type of vibe they even had the jukebox playing . The waitress was very polite and gave us time to look at the menu and even suggested we swap out the protein in the waffle plater for hash brown (witch were amazing ) The waffles were crispy and soft The chicken fried to perfection As was my country fried steak An I upgraded for $2.50 an got some French toast on the side The price of the food was honestly what was the cherry on top . The portions were huge and us being from the Bay Area we were expecting to spend at least $100 We spent $60 a left with full tummies smiles and left overs . Will definitely will be coming back . This place was picking up as soon as we left . An the vibes were still up . Everyone around seemed to be enjoying themselves. Nice place to bring your family . All the food was amazing read more
