Portions are huge, the food came out surprisingly fast, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get.

Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back!

I'm still clapping after eating here! JEEZ!…read more When walking in, you are immediately greeted by a wonderful lady who directed us to take any seat available. I got super comfy town diner feels when sitting down like if you come here often all of the regulars will know your name hahaha The PLUS is that they had the morning news up on their TV so I felt like I was at home since I usually catch up with what's going on in the world first thing in the morning. I ordered the CHICKEN FRIED STEAK and ooooohhhhh weeeee! It was perfect! It came with 2 perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs, hash browns, and a good sized chicken fried steak that was topped with gravy that at first bite just gives you that home cooked/ soul filling feel! The sourdough toast was generously buttered with an assortment of jams on the table to choose from. I'll take a strawberry one hahaha If you like heat, I suggest getting that hot sauce bottle labeled "Ray'" and putting that on your hash browns! It was my first time having it and WOW! I. LOVED. IT. What's Tabasco again??? Hahaha It'd go great on tacos, a burrito, anything! I was close to asking if I could buy one hahaha The coffee is good and strong! Our waitress provided great customer service. She took our orders quickly and was always there at the perfect time to ask if I needed a coffee fill up. Will definitely be back! After coming here, you'll no longer want to go to the other breakfast places in Vallejo. As of today , this is my new #1 breakfast spot! *They also have donuts! The old fashioned glazed is the best I've had in town. It's fresh and not overly sweet/ glazed. PERFECT.

Their breakfast menu is a lot better than their dinner menu. I had the fried chicken and it was dry. Definitely tasted like refried chicken. My son liked his breakfast meal since all the kids meals after breakfast time comes with free ice cream. Theming for Black Bear is standard for Vallejo. Nothing special here. Only really coming back here if I want breakfast for my lunch or dinner.

We had been to the Walnut Creek Buttercup a few times and always had a good experience. Feeling…read morelike a late lunch on Friday it was time to try the Concord Buttercup, and luckily they were open all day. We were seated quickly and in spite of the after lunch timing there was still a good number of patrons in the restaurant, a good sign. We wanted to try their omelettes, so I ordered the Denver omelette and my wife the Florentine omelette. The lunch came remarkably fast, which was good because we were hungry! Each order came with hash browns on the side, which were nicely cooked. Both our omelettes were excellent, and we had enough left over for dinner. Our server was very friendly and shared that she had been there 21 years - a good sign that this place takes care of their people. We'll be back to try their desserts.

As always, the turkey was cooked perfect, the gravy was on point as was the stuffing. They prepare everything in the kitchen with fresh ingredients and nothing overly unhealthy, salty or sugary. I have had the Turkey Chili before. There was more meat than beans or tomatoes. It was a hearty bowl that left me full for hours.

5 stars all the way for Babs Diner. Lily was our server and…read moreshe made the whole experience. Super friendly, checked on us at the right times, and just brought a really great vibe to the table. For a Saturday morning, the wait was totally reasonable. The menu alone guarantees we're coming back. Too many things we still want to try. We ordered the Hunter's Skillet with pork adobo and it was legit. Not just seasoned on the surface, the flavor carried through every bite. Swapped toast for biscuits and gravy and that was the right call. Thick biscuits and a peppery white gravy I would absolutely take home and eat again. I went with the Mexican French Toast made with conchas, topped with mango tres leches sauce and fresh strawberries. It was next level. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.

Lilly was my server, and she truly has a natural gift for hospitality. She consistently greets guests with a warm smile and goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service. What stood out most this time was her attention to detail--she remembered that I'm diabetic and thoughtfully brought me sugar-free syrup without me having to ask. It's that level of care that makes every visit such a great experience. Thank you, Lilly, for your kindness and dedication. It never goes unnoticed.

I never knew that Flippy's existed until now and I been living in Hercules since 1988. Flippy's Cafe has to be the longest business Rodeo had. I had the hamburger and I don't regret having. A juicy burger compare to D's Giant Burger. I was able to have salad on the side compare to fries which was a good choice. The service I had at Flippy's was fantastic. I was given a great service which I was given time to find out what to order. The inside of Flippy's Cafe is small. The tables are ok which shows sign of ages to prove how long Flippy's has been in business. They do keep the tbales clean and maintain. The parking lot outside Flippy's in small. You can find street parking nearby which is not a long walk. I will try Flippy's Cafe next time I am in Rodeo.

This place wasn't even busy, maybe 8-10 tables that's it. After standing there for 5-10 minutes watching 2 people check out, we were told to just sit wherever. After sitting for another 10 minutes watching the 2 other servers repeatedly pass by I had to get up and go grab our own menus. Only to get a look of astonishment from the lady at the check out area and a lady server. Luckily Jesse finally came and helped us. He told us he had been on break. He was super polite and honestly all you other servers there could take some cues from him. Glad we had him as our server and the only reason I gave this 3 stars and not 1
