    50's style diner. Enjoy your meal with music from the 50's playing at a low volume in the background. Had linguica, eggs and country potatoes.Restaurant is in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. Food was delicious and service very good.

    12 oz ribeye steak, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and sourdough toast.

    I enjoy the outdoor seating when bicycling around. Service is friendly. Potions are a good size. Come hungry!

    I don't know how pre-scrambled egg product, canned gravy (possibly a mix) and spongy food service biscuits resemble a 50s diner but here we are. I'll just talk about what was good. The bacon was great - irregularly shaped bacon slices perfectly rendered with chewy and crispy parts. The single pancake I ordered for my girlfriend was excellent. I loved the malty background flavor. Atmosphere was "worn". Service was excellent. I won't be back but if you dine here, maybe get a short stack with bacon?

    My boyfriend and I like coming here when we're running errands in the Fremont area. The service here is really good! They are very friendly and your food comes out quicker than other diners for sure! The quality of the food is also great however the last time I came here I tried their French toast & I felt like it was missing more cinnamon & egg. We also decided to dine outdoors as the weather was nice and since they had tables outside with umbrellas which was convenient but we noticed that the table was very dusty. (Not sure if they probably forgot to clean it that day since not everyone dines outside.)

    Hello, 50's diner is a hit if you love Americana and Mexican cuisine. They have a menu that has classic dishes like pigs in a blanket, or chorizo and eggs just to name a few. They have lunch items that are a favorite and are full of fresh ingredients. They have a well rounded menu, that will delight your appetite, and the service that is on par too. If you love the 50's classic music and retro flare you will dig this diner. We enjoyed pigs in a blanket which was a huge dish that you could share. Hamburger and fries, our milkshake was creamy and sweet. Give them a try for some diner fair in Fremont.

    Great place to get breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, coffee very good. Service excellent. And not too crowded. You get your food fast. I give this place a 5 stars.

    Pretty good parking. Definite diners vibe, diner tables and seats, photos of actors and cars and locals. It gets pretty packed but the flow is pretty good so you're not waiting long. Once you come, you seat yourselves. We only found tables that were just vacated but someone came over quickly to clean it up for us. They are always coming around to fit your coffee mug. There wasn't really a kids menu that we saw in case you're coming with kids. You could always do a bunch of sides though. They've got a senior citizens menu. Food was great. Big portions. The cornbeef hash is made in the style I like. It was delicious! Pancakes were nice and fluffy. The aisles are pretty tight so not necessarily that accessible, but they do have tables outside that are accessible. You go up to the counter to pay. Love this local staple.

    This spot has a super friendly staff, and attentive. The food was great. They had a green salsa WOW. That is a must have on your plate. A solid 4.7 in my books. I need to tr a few more things on the menu. Updates incoming.

    I've been here a few times already, but heard that this restaurant has been here for a long while now. The vibes inside the place gives me the 80s look since they used furniture that are more classical. It is a small restaurant, but also serve good food. The service is top notch since the staff are able to serve me food quicker more than I expected. The pancakes taste good especially the sausage. Also like the other food too. I don't think I had lunch there before, but next time I come back, I'll have lunch there.

    French Toast was so delicious

    My wife, son and I returned to Habit Burger the other day and enjoyed a good lunch. My wife and I…read moreordered a Char Cheeseburger Meal, which comes with a Char Cheeseburger, Fries and a Drink. Our son ordered a Double Char Cheeseburger Meal. Our Char Cheeseburgers were cooked just right and tasty. Their Single Char Cheeseburgers are the right size for my wife and I. Our son prefers to order a Double Char Cheeseburger, since he's got a good appetite. Their fries are always hot and are just the right amount of crispiness. Feel free to help yourself to ketchup and more soda, if you like. Their service is always quick and the staff are friendly. The restaurant is typically fairly quiet too. Parking behind the restaurant is plentiful. Just know that the parking lot is shared with the other restaurants and businesses.

I did see prices gone up, but that's the least of my concerns. Honestly, I could have come back here a bit more often, but was busy dining in newer places. I love how Habit is being consistent in terms of food and service while they changed the atmosphere. In my opinion, it's better than how it usually was, which seems to be more old fashioned. It's like we're getting closer to the shore or something. They also replaced the soda fountain machine, which is better than the one they usually have. Just like many restaurants, maybe we're just evolving and adapting to new technologies.

    Juicy, freshly fried wings -- but four pieces would be the sweet spot…read more I spent way too long deciding between the chicken sandwich and the wings, and eventually ordered the six-piece crispy wings with an extra tangy garlic sauce. The wings were larger than I expected. They had a craggy, heavily textured coating that was very crispy when fresh. The breading was on the thicker side, but the chicken underneath was genuinely juicy. When I pulled one apart, the juices actually ran onto the toast underneath. They were also extremely hot right out of the fryer, so give them a couple of minutes before biting in. The wings themselves were not spicy. They had a fairly straightforward savory seasoning and were flavorful enough to eat without sauce, which is important because this was not a case of sauce rescuing dry or bland chicken. The yellow tangy garlic sauce, however, was much hotter than I expected. At first I thought the heat was coming from the wings, but it was definitely the sauce. It had a strong combination of acidity, garlic, and spice, and a little went a long way. The white sauce was milder and easier to use throughout the meal. The wings came with one slice of toast cut in half. It seemed like an odd pairing at first, but it made sense once the chicken juices started dripping onto it. The toast absorbed the juices and also helped balance the richness and heat. The six-piece order was $13.99. That is not especially cheap, but the wings were large, freshly fried, and very juicy, so the portion felt fair. My only issue is that fried chicken this rich becomes repetitive after a while. The first two pieces were excellent, the third and fourth were satisfying, and by the fifth I was starting to feel the grease and heavy coating. Overall, Chicken G's does the fundamentals well: crispy exterior, juicy chicken, and wings that taste good even without sauce. I would come back, but four wings would probably be the ideal portion for me next time.

    I love Chicken G's. This is one of my favorite fried chicken places to go. They make it fresh!…read more I've had to wait about 20 min sometimes because it it is busy. During the rush hour it is just more of a wait sometimes. I belive they are a little understaffed sometimes. Only 2 people working that I have seen. Their friend chicken is just soooo good. Just order ahead of time before you come because if you order at the restaurant you will have to wait because they cook it fresh. I love their fried chicken and will for sure be coming back for more! So happy I found this place. It is really hard to not love a good fried chicken!

    Compared with the generous portions I remember from past visits, the burger and chili cheese fries…read morewere much smaller this time, and the strawberries on the cheesecake were soggy instead of fresh. I've been coming to Nation's in Fremont since I was a kid, so this review comes from someone who has always enjoyed eating here. It's one of my favorite burger spots, which is why this visit was disappointing. The burger was noticeably smaller than I remember and had only a small amount of lettuce. The chili cheese fries also seemed like a much smaller portion than they used to be. For dessert, I ordered cheesecake, but the soggy strawberries on top took away from it. Even though this wasn't one of my better visits, I still appreciate the rewards program. Their points app is easy to use, and I was able to redeem a free birthday slice of pie, which was a nice perk. The vibe was nice and the service was nice also . I'm hoping this was just an off day, because Nation's has been a favorite of mine for many years. I know how good the food can be, and I look forward to seeing the portions and quality return to what I expect.
