Still the best burger in the area nothing comes close...very good value and always awesome...i dont even need a menu either cheeseburger or double cheeseburger...i should try other things but can never bring myself to do it...been all around the country and only 2 places are equal to their burgers read more

Excellent food- excellent service. Love reading the decor : children left unattended will be given expresso and a cat !

First time... Hmm, who would of thought there would be health options here ??? This maybe my new fav ! Service so nice and helpful not to mention prompt. Which I love ! The environment was like a blast from the past with a modern day twist. A must go ! And the price is right ! read more

Digger's Diner - Concord - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Concord, California

We've always had great food here. I always tell people new to the area to check it out. My only complaint is the hours. Sooo many weekend evenings we've wanted to come and they are closed. So we go elsewhere or go to Pittsburg. read more

Another great meal at diggers diner. I always like coming here cause they have a fast turn around and never had a problem. This time I met the owner. He's very friendly and enjoyed having a one on one chat for a while with him he wasn't snobby or said he had to go. That to me shows a great restaurant. Clean ,good service , good options for food, present owner ( not always cause he does have others ) this will always be my go to restaurant. read more

A very solid breakfast spot. The lunch menu looks good, but I haven't tried it yet. Their breakfast sandwich has everything you could possibly want to start your day: eggs, cheese, meat (I recommend the crispy bacon), and hash browns, all in toasted sourdough. I haven't seen any other restaurants that put potato in the breakfast sandwich,and it's genius, really! I tried a cinnamon roll on my last visit. It's enormous, with an obscene amount of frosting and butter on top. It was just too sweet for me. Coffee here is terrible. Service is great. Very nice people! read more

Diggers don't play! They make sure you come out full! Well, "full" is a bit of an understatement. They make sure you sluggishly crawl out on your bulging belly. A full breakfast dish can feed 2 light eaters; all for the price of $6-$7! I've tried the Chicken Fried Steak, Kitchen Sink Omelet, Cinnamon Roll and their waffles. They all didn't disappoint. And their garlic fries? Best I've had. Better than AT&T park Gilroy garlic fries. Being family operated, their customer service is also very friendly and upbeat! I just love me some breakfast coma! read more

Surprisingly delicious. It was packed but got seated very quickly. I ordered biscuits and gravy with basted egg and sausage patty. Delicious, biscuits were fresh and soft and sausage patty good size and flavorful. Servers were attentive. Would definitely go again! read more

Friendly service and great diner food. It's always busy and people who come here are regulars for a reason. If you are in the mood for a burger or some other type of diner style comfort food, this is a great, homey, friendly little place to go. read more

Finally! Digger's has been on my yelp bookmark list for way over a year. As luck would have it, Granny actually heard about the burgers here and suggested we give it a try. Originally opened by a cemetary "gravedigger" and his wife, the ambiance is spot on from the midget skeleton who greets you at the door to all the other "RIP" like decor placed here, there and everywhere. Aptly so, my son ordered and devoured the "coffin" burger. I swiped a piece of his bacon which was thick and perfectly cooked. I also found myself slurping down many stolen swallows of his oreo-brownie shake. He made the best choices--no doubt about it. Trying to recreate my beloved FIVE GUYS burger with jalapenos, it didn't quite do it for me. However, I will say the meat is fresh, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Granny enjoyed her burger but was very disappointed with my decision to add cheese to the shared basket of curly fries. In hindsight, I shoulda went with the ballpark style garlic fries as I'm sure all would have been happy with those. I'm just now realizing it was $32 bux for three burgers, curly fries and one shake--kinda steep but hey... The service was great and it was a joy to see the owner mixing with the crowd--she's quite entertaining too. I'll for sure be back to try the funnel cake fries...and SOON. read more

finally made it to the original grave digger Digger's Diner with it's ghoulish ambience Dave, a co-founder was a grave digger at a local cemetery.... the wall by the cashier has lists of "hall of fame", "hall of shame", all with R.I.P. tombstones and past eating successes and/or failures. gist: u eat all of a "list" within a period of time, u don't pay, u on "hall of fame", fail? u on "hall of shame". u die? u b the lst on the tombstone list. no one made that list yet. eats: hot dog(2.99) -dog tasted like kaspars, no snap. -otherwise everything ok, casparskaspers do it better. burgers on grill looked big, juicy, not sure it's the 3.99 ones. -food here looks more deliz than the hayward/brentwood locales. read more

What can I say about Digger's Diner? Well, it certainly is the most fascinating restaurant I've been to in a long, LONG time. I've been here a couple of times with my boyfriend and have had very enjoyable experiences both times. The decor is AWESOME. When we went in, I thought they'd just kept up decorations from Halloween or something since there were spray painted skeletons on motorcycles and eating burgers and shakes, indulging in Diner dining pretty much. But seeing as it was March...I don't know, but I was quite charmed. The wait staff both times, phenomenal. The girl the first time helped us order and even suggested a peanut butter chocolate milkshake as it was her favorite. I highly recommend it, although you may not want a Reese's for about a month after. We also ordered Cajun Cheese Fries completely coated with cheese that probably gained me about 3 lbs but were so incredibly worth it. Our burgers, juicy and tender, everything a burger should be. When our waitress boxed up our food, she even gave me a cup for my soda, so sweet, it's just the little things in life, you know? Note: the crowd that comes here seemed mostly like regulars and boy, are some of them interesting. I'm not sure if it was just for us, but both times, at least 3 parties of people that came in seemed like aging motorcycle gangs. Tats and bandanas and leather vests, and sweet as pie to everyone in the restaurant. There's really only one issue I have with the restaurant and that involved a salad I ordered. With such care that went into the other items we ordered, it seemed as if the salad was just an after thought, almost forgotten. But why the hell was I ordering a salad at a DIner? Eh, I'll never know. Digger's Diner, a pretty kick ass dining experience for the whole family. P.S. They offer a sort of "Man vs. Food" challenge involving burgers, fries, a milkshake, and a large piece of chocolate cake, are you game? read more

Everyday is Halloween at Digger's Diner; the bay area's, and perhaps the world's, only graveyard themed restaurant. Whether you are looking to dig yourself an early grave of heart attack laden, gravy smothered pork chops or if your just looking for a fun place to get a shake before going trick or treating, I recommend you check out Digger's at least once for the novelty of it. (Extra kudos if you are turned on by Hell's Angels, gangbangers, Goths or anyone on parole.) www.flickr.com/photos/jrobert484/5130134543/ The food is standard, fifties diner fare done authentically and without apology. You will not find any vegan, veggie or diet options on the menu. If you don't like your hunks of beef and pork smothered in either gravy, cheese sauce or bacon, then you better like ice burg lettuce drowned in ranch dressing the consistency of pea soup. The shakes are to "die" for; made with heavy cream, and blended so thick you can hold the cup upside down without spilling any. www.flickr.com/photos/jrobert484/5130134669/ The fries are not frozen, the pancakes are fluffy and huge, the biscuits and gravy will give an Okie multiple orgasms. This menu seems like Alice, Flo and Vera should be working here, but if you look around you will find a motley crew of bikers, low riders, and other inked up subculture types. You can sit in "the graveyard" if you dare. www.flickr.com/photos/jrobert484/5130736338/ You will always be greeted at the door by their friendly mascot, "Bones". www.flickr.com/photos/jrobert484/5130134793/ You can strike up a convo with the worked out, pierced, tat boy in the booth next to you... and find out how long ago he was released from prison. I'm not saying the food is amazing; the food is just successful at what it tries to be. The restaurant isn't amazing either, but it is unique and a local hot spot. It is an interesting insight into what those on the fringe are doing on this side of the honky tube. The next time you feel nostalgic for a decade when no one counted calories, or for your favorite macabre holiday, come to Concord and check it out. You just may "dig" it. www.flickr.com/photos/jrobert484/5130134731/ read more

Rating is a happy medium: SERVICE= 3 stars, incredibly average FOOD= 5 stars, absolutely fantastic I don't believe I have ever encountered a more delicious cinnamon roll in my entire life. Now, some might say that the butter and frosting is too much, but I think not and I'm not even a fan of butter. For those of you who haven't been here yet, I'm going to let you in on a secret that will not only satisfy your wallet, but also your stomach. You can get full off of the cinnamon roll alone. I wasn't fortunate like you Yelping-future-Digger's Diner-goers. I knew I was hungry and I wanted something in my tummy immediately so I ordered the cinnamon roll to start as I decided on a meal. Within moments, I decided on the breakfast burrito. That was easy, I love breakfast, and I love burritos, best of both worlds. :) It took FOREVER to get the damn cinnamon roll. If I had had it before, and knew how incredibly delicious it was, I probably would be over-exaggerating right now and in hindsight would have been significantly more impatient, but alas, I hadn't indulged prior. I merely thought to myself that if that damn cinnamon roll wasn't out by the time my burrito came out, I would ask it to be removed from my bill. Fortunately for all parties involved, it came out before, even though it was only slightly before. I still pondered whether or not I should send it back and have the charge removed from my bill, but that was before I began eating it. OH.MY.GOD. With each and every bite I took, I grew less and less irritated that the damn thing took so long to come out. I almost felt like apologizing to the cinnamon roll for being so upset that it took forever. Damn. I ate the whole thing. All of it. And I was so happy. My burrito came out and I felt very embarrassed and defeated. I didn't have it in me to eat it. I wanted to try some of it while it was fresh and hot, but I could only manage to get in a couple bites. The waitress smiled when I asked for a box. I think she knew I felt defeated. I may have even told her. o_O I am an avid learner and always learn from my mistakes. My 2nd and 3rd visits, I saved nearly $10 by cutting out the burrito and only going for the cinnamon roll. I am attaching photos so everyone can bask in the cinnamon roll glory. Good luck!!! read more

I have been coming here for close to two years now and while the service can be hit or miss the food, the food is without a doubt the paradigm of delicious food at an old fashion American diner! I usually come in for breakfast and man can it get packed! Try coming in around 10 on the weekend and you should be able to avoid the mobs of people who literally line up out the door. I would strongly recommend getting an omelet, as that will give you the biggest bang for your buck! They are not shy about packing them with ingredients and flavor! I've had a couple of the sandwiches too and they are great, but the omelet is really where you can get that distinct Diggers Diner meal. read more

Really wanted to give this place a better review, and I'm open to giving it another chance but tonight I was a little disappointed. I'd heard great things from my family so we ordered take out tonight. The first red flag was their to-go service. My boyfriend called and was immediately put on hold for 6 minutes. Half way through I decided to call to see if I'd have better luck but the phone just rang and rang for 2 minutes. After that, any time we called we just got the busy tone. Getting fed up, we decided to give in and order upon arrival. When we did arrive, the restaurant was barely half full, maybe 5 or 6 tables sat, but we shrugged it off, mostly because the friendly waitress was very gracious about the phone issue and kindly gave us a discount for the inconvenience. The meal as a whole was pretty decent, the curly fries are amazing. My only complaint is about the big "20" burger. Maybe it's my own fault for misinterpreting the description, but mixed into the patty were large chunks of raw garlic. Granted it did say "fresh garlic," and I'm a garlic lover myself, but the chunks were so big, I couldn't taste anything else, and it almost made me sick. I will definitely be back to try something new! read more

Digger's Diner - Concord - Huge chunks of garlic removed from my big "20" burger patty. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Concord, California

The food is ok but customer service, no. a regular customer was asked to tell another regular customer to not come in anymore because a specific waitress felt the tips a regular customer was leaving was not enough. Excuse me? This regular customer has been been going to this restaurant for more than 10 years and gets treated this way? The food was paid for - the tip may have reflected on service OR the person didn't have enough to leave a big enough tip for this waitress. As a result they've lost some regular customers who ARE good tippers. Last time I was there my table was forgotten about - we were there for breakfast and waited an hour to receive it. Maybe I was unknowingly with the regular customer who's been asked not to come back. Very bad customer service. read more

Bad service they got my order wrong three times I specifically said no mayo put bbq and teriyaki on the side on whole wheat toast. And what does the waitress give me mayo no BBQ or terriyaki on the side on a bun instead of whole wheat and there was a strand of blonde hair in my terriyaki chicken sandwich. I came all the way from antioch for this...I should of went to Lumpys in Brentwood. read more

I was really excited to try their burgers and shakes, but they were pretty disappointing. The kids breakfast meal was pretty good but the rest that we ordered was meh. read more

I'm disappointed I didn't get the five star experience here. It was somewhat busy, but there are two seating rooms here and while the smaller room was probably full, the second room to the left that we sat in was more than 50% empty so it wasn't THAT busy. We seated ourselves and our menus arrived soon after. It took quite awhile for someone to come take our order and when she did, it was pretty awkward. My friend asked to add an ingredient to her burger but the server said "I wouldn't" --- aaawwwkward. When we were given our drinks, the server said she didn't know which drink was which. And after what seemed like FOREVER, we finally got our food! First we got our burgers, then she came back with fries, and right before I was going to pick up my burger, someone dropped off the check for us. I hadn't even taken a bite!!! I will say, sometimes lacking service is forgivable if the food is EXTREMELY delicious. But I have to add, sometimes REALLY bad service can really mess up what could've been a fabulous meal. The saving graceis definitely their delicious burgers and that our food, though it took F O R E V E R, came out hot. Their burgers are big, juicy, and cheap (our total for two was $20 and that included 2 burgers, 2 drinks, and 1 plate of fries to share). This seems like a good place that serves the community and great food. And I am sure they work really hard and are really friendly people. The food was good, but I was truly disappointed with the service. read more

Found this on Yelp. Thank you! Glad we did! Love the diner vibe and deco! The graffiti signs were super cool. My son had the cheeseburger and I had the NY steak sandwich which was one of the best sandwiches I've had. It's called the incinerator with bacon, jalapeño, grilled red onions on a bed of lettuce. They have good portions too! We shared a bacon cheese fries which was yummy! Service was friendly and fast. The bathrooms were very clean! read more

Classically good food. Breakfast burritos are solid and burgers are fabulous. I never get tired of coming here :)

I love mom and pop restaurants and Diggers continues to not let me down time after time. Hearty portions, and great prices, and great service and stories from Digger himself if he happens to be present. I like the Country Fried Steak breakfast sandwich and Kitchen Sink omelet and usually get those the most but the menu there is very vast! Highly recommended! read more

Okay, before you die hard Digger's fans start a riot, I just want to say I had my first visit there this weekend, I was absolutely shocked at how awful the service was. Now, NO ONE enjoys a fine hole-in-the-wall diner experience more than I do, but I was really amazed at just how down right rude these waitresses were -- AT FIRST. Now, I don't know if they just didn't like the sight of my friend and I or if this is the usual deal. We walked in and were ignored. We walked further in and a waitress asked us how many we were, we said two and she gave us the choice of a couple of booths to sit down in a very snarky tone. Okay, strike one. Then the wait began. Mind you we weren't given any menus. Strike two. We sat and waited. And waited and waited and finally I got up and got a couple of menus for us. Strike three. Hungrier than a hamster after a long run on the wheel, we reviewed the menu and things were looking up. I was especially excited to try the funnel fries they had advertised on their pirate dude sign coming into the place. Festival food hear me roar!! I really wanted to try the breakfast but unfortunately we got there after noon and apparently breakfast isn't served then (or maybe there was a secret menu we didn't know about). So we figured out what we wanted and we kept looking up and around to see if a waitress would come. CRICKETS. The place was NOT full and there were three waitresses that we noticed walking around. By the way, the people who sat down at the booth next to ours, had a waitress approach within a couple of minutes of sitting down. So this time my friend got up and asked if we had to order at a counter or something. FINALLY one of them comes to the table and frankly she was rude again (this was the pleasant one we who sat us). Wanting to give her the benefit of the doubt, I thought maybe that the staff here is supposed to be rude like it's a biker-diner act. Needless to say she took our order and we waited anxiously for our delightful diner treats of burgers, onion rings and funnel fries. Another gal (much nicer!) brought us our meals. We hadn't even taken a bite of our burgers before she dropped the bill on our table. WOW, once again. Strike! I enjoyed the burger, especially the bun. It was so nice and spongy. The funnel fries were yummy and the onion rings were good too. I wanted to order the cinnamon roll to go, but frankly I was feeling like a stuffed sausage already and thought I can try that another time. Yes, you heard it, another time. I am always looking for a great breakfast joint so I will try this place again for breakfast and see if the service improves. Frankly if I could divide the stars up in categories, I'd give the food four stars and the service a zero. I really do hope next time will be better and hope that this experience was an exception and not a rule at this place. By the way, I love the pirate. read more

If you want to bullshit come to diggers but if you want to eat good food definitely don't!!! If I could give this place zero stars I would. The food is horrific super cold and soggy, and the service is even worse. We waited an hour to receive some cold and disgusting food. read more

Went here based on the recommendation from friends and good Yelp reviews. Really glad we did. I'm always looking for a new breakfast place and I'm bummed I've missed this place. NOTHING fancy here. Just good honest food. Had the works omelet that contained ample portions of fresh mushrooms, onions, bacon and hot-links (oh yeah, if you are dieting...drive past...not for you). Very good. What struck me was the aroma of the omlette filling. You can cut corners on lots of things, but vegetables have to be fresh to smell good...this smelt good. They charge $9 for it and I've paid more for crappy food. My wifes french toast was simple but very good. Their hash browns are excellent. With soooooo many places selling you food from a bag and calling it 'fresh', its awesome to find a place keeping it simple, real and tasting good. My first time there but not my last. read more

Oh man, best breakfast in concord! Plus they make a mean grilled cheese and grilled sandwhiches... They have been family owned and operated for years, a staple in the community. They don't skimp on the portions and the food isn't too greasy, so that it's groess. The service is friendly and welcoming towards little ones. They're good for to go orders and open early at 6am for all of those early morning risers! The location is convienient for those of us coming down willow pass or living in the surrounding residential areas. I have been coming here since I was a kid and before that my mother did, too! They make a delicious real peanut butter and chocolate milkshake! They even give you the extra leftover in the mixing cup!!! They have lighter, healthier options available on the menu, too. Plus the chili cheese fries are out of this world! In fact you can get your fries topped any way you like em! The bacon is always cooked not too crisp and not too limp and fatty, either! Just love this place! read more

Overall (7/10) Food (7/10) Price (8/10) Service (8/10) Location (6/10) - Not in an area where you wanna be This place was quite good. For the price, it was on the money. The garlic fries were okay, they were not seasoned, and the fresh garlic just sits on top and is not tossed with the fries like I would have hopped. I would not get them again. BUT, the california burger was tasty. The burger itself wasn't really juicy and I can tell it was way overdone. It was a cheap eats spot with good service, but I am not sure if I would come back immediately, I would not crave this place. I will give it another shot at a later time, but for now... 3 stars. Would I come back? No. But like I said, I will give it another shot. read more

Visited SF for a week. We stayed in Concord, CA which lead me to Diggers... I looked at the menu and reviews on yelp and ended up coming in to try the food. We ordered take out. My BF and I both had the pancake breakfast with a side of bacon and hash browns. Everything was great. It mimicked how my mom use to make pancakes for me when I was younger. The breakfast itself had a homey feel and taste to it which I loved. The bacon was cooked jus right and the hash browns needed a pinch of salt. Overall the food was bomb. If you're in the area, I would suggest you to visit diggers for some good home cooking while on vacay. Our friends ended up coming the next day and loved it as well. The staff were super friendly and gave good recommendations especially inviting us back from lunch to try the burgers. read more

I pre-ordered breakfast for a group of 25. I work directly with The manager Nicole. My order was ready at 615am like I requested. Nicole and her team was very helpful. The reason for a 4 was the gave me a very small pan of eggs for a group of 23 men. I had to go back and get another pan of eggs. Again Nicole took my call and had the eggs ready when I arrived to the restaurant! Thank you for making an early morning breakfast easy!! read more

I gotta think people come here for the value... While it has tons of reviews and relatively high ratings, I didn't think my breakfast here was "all that." I ordered the Biscuit & Gravy Special which, I suppose, was perfectly adequate but I wasn't eager to finish my plate and in fact left half the eggs and one biscuit. The gravy wasn't very good and the eggs were rather bland. read more

Digger's is Out-Effing-Standing! I've been coming here since high school. I love the small town dinner feel. Nothing like seeing the good old boys eating eggs and sipping on coffee in the morning, but lunch is my favorite here. GREAT BURGERS! Nothing but delicious grease to coat your insides. You need to order the Lumpy Stub here. And get one of their shakes too. The chocolate peanut butter shake is one of my favs. read more

I wish this place would be like their sister store in Brentwood. Not only are the diner hours a little inconvenient, they also don't serve breakfast past 11am! Due to frequent Friday happy hour hang overs, I can't get out of bed till 2pm. We always walk in 30minutes before closing, and I can't get steak and eggs :( Service has been pretty consistent. Not the best but good enough. I love all the things I've ordered so far including ; steak&eggs, coffin burger, the incinerator, onion rings and ball park fries. Gotta get the steak & eggs. Perfectly seasoned and well proportioned. read more

Although this place is called a Diner, I'm not sure I would call it that. Doesn't matter of the name anyway, because the food is reasonably priced, portions are decent and service is fast...at least it was when I went in 15 minutes after opening :D. The employees that I encountered were really nice and welcoming and they probably mostly get regulars there because unless you have a reason to be in that part of Concord, you probably wouldn't go to Digger's. The address is on Farm Bureau, but it's really right off of Willow Pass Rd by the 7-Eleven. read more

Saturday morning breakfast with some friends of the family to celebrate a birthday. I am not a breakfast person, so when there is something lunchie on the menu I am on it. Coffin burger = A giant two patty burger with bacon and an egg as well as two types of cheese. Hold the onions please and easy on the mayo. This was really good. It is hard to eat in one bite, to grab all the layers, but eating with a fork is still as good. Everyone else's meals were good. Breakfast sandwich very delish as well. I would come back here again. Service was great as well. read more

Diggers has always been my favorite spot to go for breakfast. The waitresses are so friendly the service is always quick and not much of a wait.
