Well, this old-style breakfast joint lived up to it's Yelp rating. Nice service, and the food was great. I had the blueberry pancakes with a side of egg and bacon.

But, the blueberry pancakes had actual blueberries mixed into the batter, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar to complete the dish. Nicely done.

I really hate to throw any shade on an independently own businesses. But, for your first-timers out there or you people thinking about going to the establishment, I think there's probably a couple of things that you should think about before you come to this café. First of all, let me speak about the high points. The staff here are all super nice. They do their job jobs very well, and they're very friendly. In terms of their food, it seems very well prepared, and it's always really tasty. They have a very nice cross-section of Americana, Cali/Mex, and other items that really make the selection of what you decide to eat truly an adventure. Plus, they have a really nice selection of drinks, including all of the expected: soft drinks, coffees, lattes, and all of that kind of stuff. They also have a few fairly unique drinks. All good! In terms of atmosphere, they have two main interior dining spaces. Both are very well presented, and the tables are nicely spaced apart so you never feel too close to the other customers in the restaurant, even when it's crowded. They also have a couple of outdoor tables, if that's your preference. If you want to sit out and enjoy the atmosphere. Again, all good! There's a few things that are a little bit funky about this restaurant, however, which always send me to wondering. The first is, they do not have their Health Department Grade displayed on their front window as is required. Generally, I've always found the only time restaurants don't show their grade is when they've received a lower than A marking. So, I don't know what Health Department Grading this restaurant has as it is not displayed. Simple as that. It makes me wonder. The other thing is, if you go to the restroom, you walk past their kitchen and their food preparations areas. You can't help but see the space. I don't know? It just seems a little bit funky back there. Then, when you go into the restroom, if I can be kind, it really needs a renovation. There's caulking and filler used all along the lower walls. Why? That's only known by the people who run this establishment. But, it's just a little bit funky back there. They have these upper shelves, covered with small draperies. Plus, there's an area where they keep their supplies, that it's just not a nice thing to look at when you're eating in a café. My feeling is this stuff should all be separated from the dining establishment so the customers don't have to look at it when they use the restroom. It's just not a good look. Overall, all this being said, this is an unique café, that offers some interesting dishes. I'm just telling you the facts. Make of it what you will.

This review is for Happy Diner's Catering service. Roman and his crew know how to cater a party! I…read morechose option #1 and everything was delicious. My family had Happy Diner cater a few parties before, so I knew the quality and care I was going to receive. They were professional all the way, they detailed their menu and services, gave me a fair price and delivered on quality, friendly service and great taste. They transformed my backyard party into a fancy yet casual celebration. They made me feel as if I was the boss, I cannot express enough my gratitude for Roman and his crew. If you don't hire Roman for your next party, enjoy a meal at his restaurants, Happy Diner.

A quick yelp search turned me to Happy Diner, about four blocks from the museum on Centre Street in San Pedro (a 15 minute walk, although we drove due to mobility issues). They were in their last hour of service, but were friendly and welcoming. It was diner food, but honestly, hit the spot in that moment. I got the chili, and it was good. I would return if in the area again.

She let me stay past closing so I could finish my iced tea and do some more work on my laptop. 5 stars for food It was a perfect Denver omelette, well cooked with plenty of cheese and peppers and Ham and onions nicely diced. The breakfast potatoes were thinly sliced and nice and crispy, which surprisingly is hard to find in a diner. The iced tea was strong and plentiful. I realize that diner fare is not typically considered five-star cuisine, but for what they do, they did excellently. A perfect lunch experience. No notes. It's very small inside, but there's a patio in the back. Parking is free but limited.
