    Fish and Chips ( substituted salad for chips )
    Robert C.

    I ordered the fish and chips but substituted the chips for a salad. The fish although plentiful didn't look like your typical deep fried variety but tasted alright. I was impressed with the amount of food you received. Thought it was good value. It also seemed popular with the locals. Service was okay. Looking around at what other people ordered you received an abundance of food. I like that! Hard to find generous portions elsewhere.

    First timers and my cousin said this is the place to go. We wanted a breakfast spot that was more home style and this definitely hit the spot. The old school chairs for waiting, the art on the wall..I really liked the setting. Service was quick and awesome the girls did great, thank you. Meals came out quick, I got the lumpy skillet with some salsa. I loved it and with the mix veggies. But that churro waffle was omg, so worth it. If I lived here this would definitely be one of my go to spots.

    Veggie Benedict and Peach Milk Shake
    Alan D.

    Was working in the area and wanted to grab something to eat for myself. Was browsing around local places and this one popped up for me. Was within walking distance and had online ordering, so I had to give it a try. Veggie Benedict: Almost the same as a Florentine Benedict, but no spinach. Still, it was delicious. Despite its rough looking presentation when I received it (granted everything was just shifted to one side of my container when I was eating it), I enjoyed the meal. The eggs were poached perfectly and the Hollandaise sauce was great. The hash browns could have been crispier, but still, I enjoyed my meal. Also, got a kids peach shake and it was refreshing and satisfying to consume. Overall, had a nice brunch and can see myself ordering from here again.

    I just ordered the chicken and waffles and this is what it looked like. Horrible!!!  The chicken is super hard and is dry.

    I just ordered the chicken and waffles and this is what it looked like. Horrible!!! I always ride by this place and wondered about their food and was craving chicken and waffles so I figured I'd give them a try. I ordered via Door Dash and this is what I received. The chicken is super hard and dry. It looks like it was cooked in old grease! It came with scrambled eggs and as you can see, there were barely any. Very disappointed and I may go ima to the restaurant later to complain as well.

    Lumpy's Pancake Breakfast
    Ed S.

    We're looking for a Diner near our house on Oakley and came across Lumpy's Diner on Yelp. It's just a short drive from our house and very convenient It's what I expected from a Diner and they serve good breakfast and sandwiches for lunch. They have several variety of food on their menu. The place is neat and I like the ambiance of the place. The diner has several framed pictures posted all over its walls and reflects a nice comfortable atmosphere while dining. For breakfast, I ordered the Pancake BREAKFAST which has two buttermilk fluffy pancakes served with one egg, any style, and your choice of bacon, sausage, ham, hot link, or linguica. Service was excellent and quick. The food was also delicious. The pancake was fluffy and generous in size. I enjoyed our breakfast and was glad to check in on Yelp

    This is our go to spot for breakfast. My girls and I love the service and atmosphere. We go so much the owner asks about whoever isn't with us that day. They serve a solid breakfast and we have no complaints. If you go on the weekends be prepared to wait a little bit.

    I love coming here. Everyone always is friendly and attentive. The ambience is chill, fast paced, and very bright, they have a lot of windows . The food is always a 10 out of 10, on point & tasty!!! Our server was amazing so friendly & attentive. If you're in the area, you'll have to try this place out. You will not be disappointed.

    Lumpy's Breakfast Sandwich & Churro Waffle
    Chelly C.

    Decent brunch spot in the area. Quick service and friendly staff. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich with chicken fried steak and I ordered the Kitchen Sink Burrito. That was pretty good and our waitress recommended for the wrap to be grilled which I enjoyed. We also ordered the churro waffle and that was ok. Overall, good service and decent food.

    "The Cure" breakfast... so good
    Brian-Matthew C.

    An old school place with a great vibe. There is usually a wait but it's also usually worth it! The food came out super fast and was hot! The wait staff does a great job keeping up with a packed house. The cooks are very consistent. The menu offers a lot of variety. Prices are good and portions are too! Will definitely be back

    Pork Enchilada Omelette
    Wesley W.

    Update 3/2/25 Another visit to Lumpy's for our Hawaiian breakfast fix of Loco Moco. Again, an excellent breakfast choice. The hamburger patty is NOT over cooked and dry, but really tender and tasty. The spam fried rice is the perfect foundation for Lumpy's iteration of Hawaiian Loco Moco. The green onion palm tree is really cool and cute representation of an "island" of delicious food! A rating of 5/5! Loco Moco is not on Lumpy's main menu. It's only prepared on selected days. You can call to see what days Lumpy's will put their loco moco on their menu. You can try other selections on their menu which are great too. Give Lumpy's a visit. You'll be satisfied and content!

    Ask the Community - Lumpy's Diner

    Can I bring my dog inside the restaurant while friends and I dine( lap dog)?

    I am not sure. I don't remember ever seeing dogs in there, but it gets pretty packed in there. So I don't know if I'd even bring my dog in there.

    When did outdoor dining disappear?

    Hi, thanks for your question. Due to staffing issues and also poor weather, outdoor dining disappeared. We were hoping to bring it back for the warm months ahead, But then, we have that staffing issue again… please stay tuned! if we can get this all… 

    Does anyone know if they are open during the Stay At Home Period?

    Yes, we’ve been open,. We’ve been taking it day by day. We are open for takeout only. Please check our Facebook or website for hours this week. And thank you so much for your support

    Many restaurants offer "Kids eat free" days - do they participate? If so, which day(s) offer free or reduced price meals for children?

    Reduced kids meals I believe are on Thursday from a certain time 11:00am to 3:00pm I believe, You can always call and ask they are super friendly ?

    Cute restaurant on G street, I ordered to go and I placed my order they asked me for my phone…read morenumber and name and didn't give me a chance to asked how long it would take the lady hang up the phone :/ without saying anything. When I got there I waited for a while to get my order, the waitress was busy taking an order at a table. The empanada was really good although it looks burnt . I'm not impressed with the customer service, maybe next time I'll dine in. There's parking on the street.

    08/10/25 @ 12 noon for Party of 2…read more Sorry not sorry - We came across Clavo & Canela IG page the evening prior deciding to cross the Antioch Bridge with $8 toll bridge just so we can support local businesses and give this place a try! We were led to believe their menu was 100% El Salvadorean dishes based on the IG reels which was not the case (sad). We were immediately seated soon after we arrived and while waiting for the service, we witnessed a few groups that came in and left soon after since they couldn't wait 15-20 mins for available tables. Based on the menu presented to us, we were told that there were a few items that weren't available and one of them was "Ube pancakes" and that's when we kinda lost it a bit, like "Ube pancakes?!! Isn't this an El Salvadorean restaurant?! Why offer Ube pancakes?!" Whatever- anyways we told the server we came to try the following: 1 pc rice pupusa with queso con loroco $5.25 1 pc regular masa pupusa with queso con loroco $4.75 1 Desayuno Salvadoreño $15.95 As stated on the menu "Delicious deep fried plantain, scrambled eggs with vegetables, CASAMIENTO (see picture), sour cream, and cheese." There was NO trace of CASAMIENTO on the plate nor were we told otherwise by the server. Moving right along to SERVICE: Understandably so, we didn't expect much when it comes to service with two young adults running the floor (taking orders & cleaning tables) - definitely needs more training! Something as simple as bringing over napkins & utensils either soon after cleaning the table, taking an order or even delivering one of the orders or whatever. We waited probably a good 7 mins before we were given teaspoons for our coffee cups and I was literally halfway done with my rice pupusa (thanks to my teaspoon!) before we were given proper utensils and a mason jar of curtido. Note to self: BYO utensils smh It's as if you're forced to only order "to-go" rather than dine-in. Both pupusas were pretty good, nevermind the experience, but as far as the plate order, we will skip it for now until they figure it out whether or not to serve it with a couple of plain tortillas and/or bread (see picture) and perhaps actually serve CASAMIENTO as stated!

    The food here is amazing and I enjoy coming here with friends and family…read more The restaurant is situated firmly in the middle of town, with may other attractions within walking distance. Service is always kind and timely. No rushing or making you feel unwelcome. VERY kind and attentive staff! The ambiance is ordinary, but very clean. There is a bench for people to sit while waiting on seating or their mobile orders. Payment is up front by the door, conveniently next to the display case of great baked items and pastries. If you haven't yet been here, then you haven't tasted what Brentwood has to offer!

    We are fairly new to the Brentwood area and had heard from several neighbors and friends that this…read morewas a place we should try, so we decided to stop in for breakfast today. Downtown Brentwood was especially busy because of the car show, with lots of booths, music, and people enjoying the day, so we completely understood that the restaurant might be busier than usual. When we arrived, though, we weren't greeted or really sure where we were supposed to wait. There wasn't a sign directing guests, and although an employee was at the register near the entrance, we had to ask if we should wait there for a hostess. We were eventually seated outside after a short wait. Our drinks came fairly quickly, but after that the service was very inconsistent. The employees were extremely nice and helpful whenever we were able to speak with them; they just weren't readily available. Our food took quite a while, no one came back to refill or warm up my coffee, we had to ask for jelly for the toast, and when we were ready to leave, we had to find someone to ask for our check. One of the young employees also spent quite a bit of time outside talking and taking pictures with friends who had stopped by, which was a little frustrating. The food looked beautiful when it arrived, and the portions were very generous. I had the French toast with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. The presentation was great, but unfortunately, the French toast itself was just okay. We also tried the chicken-fried steak with hash browns and toast, which again was fine but nothing that really stood out. I really wanted to love this place because so many people recommended it to us. Perhaps we caught them on an unusually busy day, and I definitely want to be fair about that. Unfortunately, between the lack of availability and food that was more average than we expected, our first experience didn't quite live up to the recommendations. Since we're new to Brentwood and still have so many local restaurants to discover, we'll probably try some of those before making a special trip back here.

    *** whatta bun~niful experience ***…read more If you are hunting for a quick grub, this is your spot. I went with the Liberty Smash Burger combo with fries, drink not included. The burger itself comes loaded with sauce, pickles and onions. Tomato and lettuce'll run you a little extra. The bun is what makes this burger shine. I've had tons of burgers, and honestly, the bun is usually either soggy, dry or straight up falling apart. This one? Super soft and perfect. Makes the whole smash burger experience actually enjoyable. Despite the shocking looks and stares that made me feel like I wandered onto a reality TV show, service was, ok. The inside is pretty tight with just a handful of seats, but they've got plenty of picnic tables outside with umbrellas, so you're good either way.

    What a special place. FINALLY was able to try this spot while we were rolling through this area…read moreover the weekend. Such a cute neighborhood hang with a park across the street, ice cream and beer locales next door, and street parking to enjoy it all. With the big soccer game playing, we were happy to grab a table in the outdoor patio to enjoy some sunshine and safety in an enclosed area for the kiddo, but also watch some of the game for lunch. Love that they have corn hole and toys for the kiddos out. The menu is pretty straight forward, and on weekends they have brunch specials too. But, we figured we had to try the smash burgers! They have a kiddo menu which is so cute (see photo) and offer smash burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, fries (steak frites and "filthy" fries with cheese, sauce, caramelized onions, pepperonis, chives), salads, and bowls. I love that you can do a Sando as a salad/bowl. I went with the Yard Bowl that comes with brown rice and veggies, topped with fried chicken. It was SO good. Hearty, great quality, and really just an overall stellar meal. We also grabbed smash burgers and the "Filthy Fries". There is a $12 meal that comes with a smash burger and plain fry combo which I feel is a pretty smashing deal :) They serve Alameda soda and have a really cool beer/wine/cocktail menu. I had to try the Brentwood Corn Fest cocktail that comes with vodka, lemon, creamed corn puree, jalapeño, and an elote rim. It was spectacular, and I didn't mind paying $14 for such a fresh, well-crafted, innovative drink. You get a buzzer after you order, and honestly the drink/food came out pretty fast! Very turnkey ordering process. Delicious way to spend a weekend afternoon. Seems like such an awesome community hang spot. Would love to try their Pickle Spritz next time (gin, pickle juice, dill, soda water)! I noticed Liberty Faculty students receive 10% off which I think is so cool. And..they use Martins Potato Buns..if you know, you know! Overall, I'm a fan. Great service, great feels, great hometown vibes. Hope to be back again soon!
