Great atmosphere and burgers. Cool to see all the people ride by on the bikes and cool cars

Best John Wayne Special! Great Service ! Love the mimosas, great outdoor area ! Overall all the food and service were great!

Great atmosphere. Good food and fast friendly service.I did not eat much, but what I saw my colleagues eating looked quite good.I'm sure this is a busy breakfast joint on the weekend. read more

The best food in town. I love their steak bits! If you are visiting; I highly recommend you eat breakfast here! read more

A San Pedro staple! Classic delicious food that doesn't change! Kind and attentive staff, all around great place!

Parking lot was full, but able to find street parking nearby. Pretty quick service and willing to accommodate our special requests for the kids meals (ie, adding whipped cream). Casual atmosphere. I had one of the specials of the day (Popeye omelette) and it was so good, I ate the whole thing instead of saving half like I intended! read more

First time here since I was a kid. Now I brought my family and we all loved it! The food was delicious and we are full and happy. My youngest said this was the best day ever after eating the strawberry waffles. It's been over 25 years since I've been here, but it won't be that long before we return again. read more

Pacific Diner - Cheese enchilada omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

Okay. This place is a true San Pedro local spot. Sits on top of Pacific Ave overlooking San Pedro Harbor. We've been coming here for over 15 years. Great food, atmosphere, and friendly staff makes this a must go place. My favorite is their Beef Stroganoff omelette followed by a close second, Beef Enchilada omelette. I highly recommend both of them. Look for them on their Daily Specials Board. Unfortunately, these 2 items are not available every day. read more

This place is sooo good. The breakfast is to die for. I would recommend really any food they have. Service is always good.

I've had this place on bookmark for sometime now it's another Restaurant featured by Chris Burrous of Channel 5 News "Burrous Bites" The indoor seating is on the smaller side but that do have a large covered outdoor seating area, parking lot though is limited. Avocado ($12.50) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacific-diner-san-pedro?select=J2GUMQo_x_Aoyxf0UxoWog&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg 3 Egg Omelette with Bacon, Jack & Swiss Cheese topped with Avocado, House Potato's and side of Toast.... first off they must use "Medium Eggs" this omelette was on the smaller side, I expected a bit more cheese when you say "Jack & Swiss" other than that it was OK, just OK NO wow here. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacific-diner-san-pedro?select=rivlFIhfUgYHn5cHZ8hTxw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Homestyle Potato's or whatever they called them were nicely cooked two thumbs up for that, average food at above average prices. 3-Stars Texas Style Chili N' Cheddar ($12.50) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacific-diner-san-pedro?select=dwZvQvqvXwqp7b_-j-Gjlg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg 3 Egg Omelette with "Texas Style Chili" Cheddar Cheese and chopped Onions... Now they call this "Texas Style Chili" I have friends ALL over Texas and every one of them will tell you Texas Chili does NOT have Beans! well Pacific Diner has Beans in their Chili, I'm a Certified Frijolero (P2) so that doesn't bother me, to purists it might, https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacific-diner-san-pedro?select=ST5rO-5mgHg_dKM8i1iXKg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg better than the Omelette above. 4-Stars I opted for Biscuits & Gravy - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacific-diner-san-pedro?select=KU3VKgQ08UELHSuVvQi9Rw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Average size biscuit had good texture, not dense the gravy was a totally different than your typical gravy you'd be served with biscuits https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacific-diner-san-pedro?select=KSTHVnUWFp7W1yejbpMglA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg it was creamy and flavorful almost like a Hollandaise sauce, and they use chunks of Ham instead of the typical Sausage, NOT typical Biscuits and Gravy but flavor-wise it's a Winner! 5-Stars Service was friendly but a bit relaxed (slow) Coffee Mugs are small and w-a-i-t-i-n-g for a refill get's annoying. NOT the best Breakfast in San Pedro that's for sure....... read more

I had the chilaquiles with green sauce and it was delicious,also had the Banana pancakes and they were delicious too. Definitely will come back to try the lunch menu. Coffee was great too. Service is great and in the morning it wasn't too crowded. Will be back again read more

Food was great; only restaurant so far that will seat a family of 7; the wait was a bit but that's fine. Our drinks were never empty. Portions were great! all in all it was a nice experience totally recommend! ***4 Stars for the ambiance, we were seated next to a table of young 20 year old's who used foul language which kind of ruined the family atmosphere**** read more

My friend lives in Pedro and I would have never found this place. Pacific is almost at the end of San Pedro in the Pacific Ocean...I mean on Pacific. After an early morning volunteering in the area, Pacific Diner hit the breakfast spot. They have their own parking which gets really packed...you can park your motorcycle (like I parked my motorcycle) in the front by the newspaper machines. They have bar seating in the front or walk to the back for outside (heat lamp) dining or inside dining. Breakfast was awesome! Service was good...and especially the views! :) Food was served ultra fast...like the food was already ready when you ordered (not really cause they have like 10 guys working the kitchen). Just take a look when you're headed to the "shared" bathroom. If you have an option of bread...get the BISCUITS and GRAVY...it was sooooo good. The sausage gravy may be the best I've eaten! I also had the asparagus omelet...u can't really go wrong with omelets here. The prices aren't too bad either. Did I tell you they have nice waitresses and service? Check it out if you're in Pedro! read more

Excellent food. Great service. I had the Bacon avocado omelet. So yummy. Also great d outdoor patio seating.

Living in Pedro you tend to go where you have the best experience for breakfast. We have so many diners and cafés where the food is good that you tend to gravitate to the ambiance more. I like the food at pacific diner. Never had any issues with their friendly staff. Parking lot is small but a lot easier to park than most. The only reason I don't go more often even though it is closest to me is simply a matter of me enjoying the ambiance at another cafe. Check it out yourself and find your breakfast spot. read more

Stopped in last Sunday about 1:30 for a quick bite with my 90 year old dad. Unfortunately, they were nearing closing time so everything my dad wanted was gone. No soup, no gravy, no chili. I ordered a BLT, but was disappointed that the bread was stale. The only thing we enjoyed were some french fries. All in all, a wasted trip. Probably won't go back there anyway. read more

What can I say... You cannot go wrong eating at the Pacific Diner! I have been enjoying breakfast here for over 40ys, yeah that right! Over 40yrs and ain't never been disappointed. read more

I thought I was done with the biscuits and gravy challenge but then I stumbled onto two restaurants that were almost side by side that had biscuits and gravy. So guess what? The taste test was on! Both places offered a single biscuit for under $2 which is a great value. When I ordered the one biscuit the waitress was like.... "Are you sure that's all you want ? " She was probably thinking what's this big guy going to do with 1 biscuit use if for ear muffs? lol Little did she know that the they were getting the @eatcheapwithpete challenge. Well I have to say that the chef nailed it! It was a very flavorful Biscuits and gravy. This was an average size biscuit witch great texture and the right amount of moisture. The gravy was very creamy and delicious. I am guessing the chef may have used a broth because the had a very homey and comfort food flavor. I would have liked to have seen more sausage but I didn't miss it. read more

The food is good, however, I find it to be overpriced for basic fan fair dining. I'd rather go to Norms or Denny's and get a better deal. Moreover, for the price they charge for food I can go to an all you eat restaurant for 20 bucks and have a big variety of food to choose from and eat to my heart's content. read more

Had a terrible experience here personally. This feels like a go to for locals and the owners/management seem to take care of the people they know (which is great if you come regularly). I came here Sunday morning and the experience started off great as I was seated immediately. Things quickly went downhill after that. Our waitress was horrible! She took our drink orders and we asked for a couple more minutes for food. Our waitress never came back and we ended up having to call her back ourselves before she took our order. After she took our order there were at least 5 tables that were seated, served and had almost completed their meals before we even got our food. After about 45 (generous assumption, close to 50) minutes we physically got up and had to find our waitress to see if she forgot to put our food order in. Our waitress made some lame excuse on how the kitchen was backed up and she would check on our food (which was a lie because at this point it was nearly 1:00 pm and we had seen several tables who ordered after us and served). Shortly after checking with our waitress our food came out. One dish was an omelette which we asked for no tomatoes, low and behold it had tomatoes in it and the other items were a mix of their version of hash browns, waffles and a sausage patty. The food was awful, the waffle and sausage seemed dry like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. When our server finally came back she asked us about the food and we told her our issues. To our servers credit, she did get a manager who came to talk to us and ask us if she could do anything for us. After waiting as long as we did for the food, it didn't make sense to wait for them to remake anything for us. The manager did assure us that they do not have heat lamps (I don't believe that and if they don't then the server probably forgot about our meals and they quickly microwaved it to get them out to us warm) and that their kitchen was backed up (major lie as stated above). We ended up paying for the meal, no comps (we didn't ask or expect anything, but that extra service adds to what I would have tipped) or anything else and left a dollar for a tip as it reflected the service and experience we had. read more

I'm tellin' you folks, San Pedro has this diner thing down pat. I've visited several and they are all great! Pacific Diner is yet another gem. I went on a Friday...mid morning. Parking lot was full, but street parking is easy to find. They were still busy, but we were seated right away. In a nutshell, this place is great. The food is excellent, and so is the service. I'd say for a diner, the prices are a teeny bit high, but not at all unreasonable. For me, the true test of a diner is how good their chicken fried steak is. Theirs passed the test with flying colors! It was one of the best I've ever had. It was tender and tasty, not greasy as they tend to be sometimes. I also like their portions. They aren't huge, which is a good thing. They are just right. You don't walk out of there feeling gross because you over ate, which so common for us USA diner aficionados. My friend had an omelette. I don't know what kind...it had some kind of enchilada sauce on it. I had a bite, and man oh man, was it ever good! You can't go wrong at Pacific Diner. Go there, enjoy. I hear if you go there on the weekends it's super crowded, so be prepared to wait for a while. It will be worth your wait though. read more

We ordered through post mates, and we were not given half of our food. The waffle was so bad I ended up making an eggo that tasted 100 times better. My husband's plate was barely any food, mostly sauce. Honestly the only thing edible was the side of banana. I tried to call, and it was just a busy phone. We will not be going back here which is sad because it has been pretty good in the past. I would recommend you save your money. 60$ worth of garbage food read more

Love this place. Super casual with yummy food. The Chile Verde omelet was delicious!! Order it with tortillas!!

A great little local diner just steps from the cliffs and lighthouse to walk off some of that delicious (not-so-healthy but tasty) food. There's a great open-air patio around back ... don't be afraid to make your way through the kitchen to find the bathroom or to pass from front to back. :) read more

Tried this spot a few weeks ago because of the reviews, the food was good but the awful customer service ruined it for me. I went in with my friend who was blind and when my friend asked what their special was, the staff pointed to their small whiteboard a couple yards away. My friend told the staff he is blind and can't see what the whiteboard says. Instead of reading the specials to my friend, the staff literally walks over to the whiteboard and brings it closer to the table--as if he could read the whiteboard if it was just closer to him--and then she randomly left! The staff came back after a few minutes asking if we were finally ready to order. As a reminder, my friend is blind--not deaf! He asked the staff a simple question and was completely ignored. We ordered and waited 30 minutes for our food when the restaurant half-full. We enjoyed the food, tried to make the best out of an awful exchange, and still tipped. Please do better next time. read more

always an amazing breakfast when we come. The steak n eggs are always a go to for me. The service is always amazing and very fast/ friendly.

Was there this morning with my fam for breakfast, once again great experience. One thing I admire and I hope never changes is the amazing customer service. Considering how busy it gets the servers are still very friendly. Food was excellent! read more

I'm a San Pedro local. This is my go to Restaurant when I'm hungry for breakfast. I get the avocado omelet with Spanish rice and salsa. This place is busy on the weekends and you may have to wait. The waitress's are cute and friendly! I'm definitely coming back. read more

Food is good ! The service was great service! Just a perfect for a quiet nice environment small sitting area !

I wish I could give it 5 , but I can't. Food location and ambience are great, but that's what makes it lose that one star. They are SO BUSY they forget to refill your coffee. Prices are ok, considering. It's a "locals" joint, which is cool, but not so much for outsiders. I would definitely go again, but not without the local guy who took me there. read more

I've been a regular here for 32 years! The food is fantastic and the service is consistently friendly and great! That applies from the first time I went to the most recent a couple of days ago. There are a few reviews I saw saying the food isn't good and the service is bad. Maybe they were having a bad day as we all can have, but in 32 years, that's not my experience. Pac Di rules! read more

Passionate about flavors, excellence, great service, freshness and great location this place should be on anyone's Top 10 Breakfast places in USA! OK, maybe Top 5! I am recommeding their unique John Wayne, incredible Monte Cristo, yummilicious Chicken Cutlet and so many other items. You might experience little wait during busy hours but you will be seated shortly and you will not regret. Their Monte Cristo is not one of those ordinary triple deckers with no meat but rather amazing, moist, and soooo yummy version of this unique croque monsieur sandwich with lots of ham and turkey! Yummy. Don't miss house potatoes, biscuits 'n gravy and perhaps some waffles! You will keep coming back. read more

Hands down one of my favorite diner spots in San Pedro. I have introduced so many friends of mine and ALL of them fall in love. It's definitely a family place to enjoy hearty meals. They are beyond generous with their portions. This place is so amazing they have daily regulars. I have to add that the staff is the best around! Julie is the waitress for me. She is very welcoming, kind and just hilarious. read more

I ate here with my kids today for the 2nd time and for sure we won't be coming back here anymore. The bottom line for me is we are paying a very hight price for food that quite frankly is mediocre. Maybe I'm biased, but after being up in San Francisco the weekend before, and eating at some amazing places for breakfast and lunch, there was nothing at this place that stood out except the high prices, certainly not the food. If you are looking for a clean place, with nice, friendly servers, you won't be disappointed. However don't expect the food to wow you. $$$$ read more

ONE STAR Revised review 9/10/17 PLACE IS CLOSED FOr VACATION ???? It would be nice to have posted it on your yelp page before we drove 40 minutes to get here !! Pissed to say the least MY PREVIOUS REVIEW READ: Great place for a hearty breakfast come with an appetite !! Only thing they don't have are flavored creamers my coffee just isn't the same without them. Other than that the food and the service is great .they close early so don't wait until it's too late to come and eat read more

Not very impressed with this place. The food is good, our hostess, Julie is very friendly and cheerful but everyone else in this joint seem like they're not happy to have us SPEND OUR MONEY AT THIS PLACE. Due to great Yelp reviews, we came here and here, excited to get familiar with a local favorite and have an amazing breakfast. But it really disappointed us. I felt like I was being nicer to everyone else just to get a smile from the staff but it was to no avail. There was a lady they call Vicky who was snappy with my friend who asked her where to pay our bill. For patrons who are new to your place, I figured they will be friendly and amicable. That was not the case. As I've said many times over in my reviews, customer service is one of the top criteria that I factor when we try a place out. I don't highly recommend this place to those who seek good service. Food is good. read more
