Amber and Janet served me. The place is one counter customer and 3 tables should be backed . I think the price is a bit high but I'd come back. The old owners gone but same staff. They grilled my English muffin perfect. Service great.maybe breakfast specials would be a plus. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff. Had to get myself some lottery tickets before I left.

Great food but took over 55 minutes to get our food , all of the staff were friendly , and the food is as always tasty and hot . We just didn't understand why 4 different couples came in after we had ordered received their food before us read more

Who knew? This place is really good. A traditional cafe with amazing food and service! Breakfast all day, that's a plus! We all loved the food. Steak and eggs were reported very good! I had the Popeye omelet with spinach, bacon, feta and mushrooms! Yum!! The other guy, combo omelet with country potatoes and reported they were excellent! The server was a great young lady, exceptional and personal service!! read more

This place was such a nice little diner to eat at. It has that old fashioned feel with great service. My coffee cup was always filled and the ladies checked on our table often. I had the waffle combo which was a good helping, warm and fluffy!! My friend had the steak skillet which was good, but nothing to have home about. Overall, it was a great experience. The prices were decent. Would come back again soon!! read more

Every neighborhood should be lucky enough to have a good old fashioned country kitchen cafe like Uncle Pete's in Westminster. It's like stepping into small town USA with its friendly easy going atmosphere and charming ambiance seldom seen in today's cafes. We've been to Uncle Pete's off and on for at least 10 years. The owner (whose name is not Pete) Tom is there most of the time and almost always stops by your table and asks how your food is. Traditional American, Mexican, Italian and Greek dishes are served with daily specials. The food is homemade and consistently good. Today, my wife ordered a turkey sandwich with delicious fried zucchini. My daughter had a wonderful turkey croissant. I went with the classic bacon cheeseburger with the best lightly breaded fantastic onion rings I ever had. We all enjoyed our fresh tasty choices! There's something to satisfy everybody, B,L or D. Come as you are, relax and take in their friendly hospitality. read more

Chicken Fried Steak so grizzly I Was unable to eat it. I ordered biscuit and gravy,.. Biscuit sooo hard I could NOT cut it with a steak knife However, the gravy was good. Also, have you ever tried to eat lacy edged eggs? (my order was for over easy eggs, not over cooked eggs.) I have a previous review on this place, also unfavorable. However, I decided to give it another chance and I was still disappointed in the quality and preparation of the food. I am amazed by all the positive reviews that people write regarding this place. I just expect more then what I have been served. I will add that the servers are propably what gets the place it's good marks, because they are great!!!, read more

Sometimes I just want no frills dining..... just jump in my car, drive 5 min down the street, and eat some comfort food. Uncle Pete's is a great place to do just that. When you walk in the door you feel like you've walked thru a portal. The other side of that portal is a diner in Laughlin. You've got Keno... er I mean "Hot Spot" playing on the TV's with the cards to fill out on the table, lottery scratcher dispensing machine, old run down booths and tables, waitresses who you can tell have worked their 1/2 their life, patrons who look like they just came back from the monster truck rally, and most of the menu in the $5 to $7 range. All that is missing is a layer of cigarette smoke floating along the ceiling to complete the picture. That said, this place is super friendly. The owner Tom pretty much knows everybody in the place. You'll hug the ladies and chat with the customers. Most of the customers seem to know each other too. Even Donna and I have run into our neighbors here. The food here is super cheap and in my opinion good diner food. Last night I had the $7 sloppy joe special. This came with soup or salad, sloppy joe with fries, onion rings, macaroni salad, or coleslaw, and a piece of "pumpkin cake"! I thought the sloppy joe was really good. They toasted the bun and the joe mix had onions, bell peppers, ground beef, and a tasty sauce. A real throwback to my childhood. Much better than the stuff my mom made out of a can. I had a salad with blue cheese dressing which was good and the macaroni salad which was your standard deli style. Pumpkin cake was basically a pumpkin pie filling with a crumbly crust. My wife had the grilled cheese with bacon and onion rings! I'm sure this is low on weight watcher points. I took a bite and it was very good. I've had the grilled cheese with ham here which I really enjoy. This sandwich was $6 bucks. This isn't the best place in the world, but I enjoy it way more than let's say Denny's. Our total bill was $15 bucks and it was well worth it. Sometimes the service is a bit slow when it's crowded, but I've always had very friendly service. They really get to know you here and it has small neighborhood feel to it. What's strange is this place has a budweiser, coors, and Pabst's feel to it... yet they serve Soju. I can't imagine any of the people I saw in this place know what soju is let alone order it. read more

I am a mom of 3 my youngest is 6 months therefore I use a stroller. I was basically told there is no room for me or my stroller. I was so embarrassed so uncomfortable obviously left. I do not recommend this place for families. Or at all! Very rude. Fortunately for them I have to at least rate them a star or else I wouldn't be able to leave a review. But honestly 0 stars for this place. read more

BF gets his hair cut in the same plaza and I keep looking at this place every time we drive by so finally he agreed to try it out! Small diner where the workers are super friendly and even call the repeat customers by name so that's nice to see. What we got: Corned Beef Hash & Eggs w/ Biscuits and Gravy ($8.45): was deciding between this and the chicken fried steak, but decided to get the corned beef hash! Comes with 2 eggs cooked how you like it, hash browns or country potatoes, toast or english muffin or biscuits and gravy. I got my eggs sunny side up, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy. It cames with a slice of cantaloupe too. Every was good besides the biscuits and gravy...gravy left a funny aftertaste and feeling on the roof of my mouth. Biscuits were too thick tasting? Rib Eye Steak & Eggs w/ White Toast ($11): also comes with 2 eggs cooked how you like it, hash browns or country potatoes, toast or english muffin or biscuits and gravy. BF also got his eggs sunny side up, hash browns, but with white toast. He said the steak had too much fat, but I loved it! So all the fat pieces for me! Could have used more seasoning on the steak though, but I like it dip it in ketchup and my BF likes it dipped in A1 anyway. Service: Very attentive service. Coffee cup was always refilled. Food didn't take too long to come out. Got up to pay at the counter though. Not sure if we would come back, but who knows! Portions are huge though! Ate about half and took the rest home for the next day. read more

I love Uncle Pete's: it's an independent, honest-to-goodness café like in the old days. The food is not five stars, but it's certainly better than, say, Denny's or Norm's, and it's plentiful, with lots of choices, from breakfast all day to "blue-plate-specials" at dinner. Try the breakfast burrito (add gravy inside) with a side of homemade pico de gallo, or the kabobs if you're in the mood for something meatier. When our son was growing up, our family came to Uncle Pete's several times a week (or more). The owner, Tom Pappodopolous (sp?), and the staff became like family to us. Uncle Pete's is a civic treasure. read more

The service, food, and price were excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. It is small and family owned. Come in and enjoy a meal. read more

It was a really cute tiny place! I didn't know what to expect, but when we went in, the waitresses were so friendly. There was a nice homey feel to it, but it's also pretty spacious. I could tell there were a lot of regulars at this place and I'm pretty sure I know why! The food was great. I got the gyro plate chicken. I've never tried Greek food so I'm not sure if it's considered extremelyy good. But all in all, the food was very appetizing and the portions were big. I'd say that it's a great place to go and eat on a date or just talk, but not for big groups of people. I loved it and I'll probably go more often! read more

My boyfriend introduced me to this place and it has become our regular for breakfast, lunch, dinner. My faves: French Toast, Pancakes, Lamb Gyro, BBQ'd Ribs (Fri/Sat nights), Bloody Mary :) read more

So far the best traditional American food I've ever tried around Westminster. Usually, I'm not a fan of steak because it is hard to chew and swallow but their Rip eye steak was so soft and tasty. My jaw didn't hurt at all. Their healthy breakfast with rip-eye steak was so healthy and had good portion. It came with light seasoned scrambled egg, cottage cheese, and English muffin. The service and atmosphere got me thinking about the old time just like in the TV, separated from the busy Little Saigon town which was nice. I will come back for more. ;) read more

How do I give six stars?? I just had to drive the 20 miles to get here to see what all the hype is about. Every five star rating is true. I purposely ordered more than I knew I could eat because I wanted to give an accurate Yelp review. Started with the fried zucchini sticks. Enough for four or more people. Came out piping hot (all dishes were piping hot!) and delicious. Just the right amount of breading. I didn't see any clans in the clam chowder but the flavor was there. Delicious and s large bowl; not some chinsy little cup like most places serve when included in the meal. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mash and veg. I was a little leary ordering the mash because when I asked he said they fresh made once every day. Big red flag but ordered them anyway. They tasted like they just made for my order. White gravy was flavorful and not pasty although it looked like it might have been. As for the veg, they were jut prefrozen mixed veggies. Nothing special. The dinner also came with dessert but I never saw it cause the server offered to box it up for me along with half my dinner. Tom, the owner came by and commented on how much food I ordered. I told him it was intentional for a Yelp review. Before I told him that it it was an experimental review, he comped the zucchini. He didn't know it was for yelp. Would I come back? HELL YES I WOULD!! I'm dying to try their breakfasts. Oh and when the other reviewers commented that the place is filled with "old white people", they were right! So I felt right at home being an "old white person" myself!! SENIORS RULE!!!! read more

I haven't been going since I started my diet earlier this year but when I do have a cheat day, I find myself calling up this place to put in my to go order so I can walk over there from work to grab lunch. Though there has been much time passed between us, I can't help but acknowledge that the staff here makes you really feel at home, welcomed. I don't frequent all that much but the owner gave a reaffirming hello and the waitress even called me by name. Yes, the food isn't extraordinary (though my last Greek chicken wasn't short of it) but their hospitality to their regulars is almost making me convinced I should break my diet! read more

I absolutely love this place! It is located in the corner of a little plaza near the Westminster court and library/ city hall. The service is fantastic! I've dined in once and every other time has been take-out. They are pretty quick with service compared to other breakfast joints. I've gotten the steak skillet twice. It is such a large portion and it is so fresh and tastes. Tons of loaded potatoes and meat and avocado it is so good!! Today I ordered the corn beef hash with two ranch eggs done over and easy along with biscuit and gravy. It was not to my liking unfortunately. The biscuit and gravy was very dry and almost clay like. Almost like it did not sit in the microwave long enough. It tasted pretty crappy. I love my biscuit and gravy but neither the biscuit or the gravy worked out this time. I've had better from previous visits so I know this was not up to normal standards. The corned beef hash tasted can-y. It tasted like it was scooped out of a can and threw together. Very oily and tasted so bland. This was a terrible choice. I really regretted this option. I initially came in this morning wanting to get the eggs Benedict with hash browns but was informed it is a Wednesday and Sunday special only. Ughhh unlucky me lol. I still like this place and their service though so I'll be coming back! Just not for the corned beef hash! read more

My wife and I have been enjoying this restaurant for about six months now, mostly for breakfast but they serve a great lunch and dinner as well, we have taken family and friends and we all agree, the food is great and served exactly how you ask for it, service is top of the line fast and friendly, the restaurant is very clean from the entry to the bathroom, we visit Uncle Pete's 4 to 6 times a month and we have never had a bad experience. They have lotto and lotto scratchers so you can play hotspot and scratch lotto tickets if you wish, there are several TVs so you can catch up on news sports etc. My wife and I highly recommend as I'm sure you will as well. Thank you robert and Debra read more

This a cute little sit down cafe...everyone here was super nice...from the waiters to the buss boys. Its pretty hidden but I found this place thanks to Yelp. It gets pretty busy but definitely worth it and they serve fairly quick. They have a pretty big selection on their menu. Will come back to try different things :) read more

I have never wrote a review in my life... but I'm on vacation and looked up breakfast places around me. Pete's looked like it had nice reviews so my family and I headed over there. The hostess was nice and told us to sit anywhere we'd like. 15 minutes later no one had acknowledged our existence, no drink orders or anything, while other tables were having their orders taken. On top of that we saw one of the chefs in the back lick his thumb while he was cooking. Disappointed because it had such great reviews but be careful with choosing this place. :( read more

I was really hopeful for a comforting, peaceful and relaxing breakfast, alone. I had a horrible morning and just needed a break. The only small table available was next to the door. You better scoot-in close to the table or you'll be in the way. On the other side of the table is another table. Good thing I'm super skinny, I don't need much room. I truly appreciate how hard it is to be a waiter, overworked and underpaid. However, my generous tipping practice was challenged when I was greeted by a woman who obviously didn't care if I was a paying customer or not. It felt like she was just going through the motions of her job to get through another day. When I asked for real cream (they keep a non-dairy creamer on the table), it was as if I was being bothersome. She said they only had 2%, which was fine and I hope not too....bothersome of a request (). I then asked if I could order from the kids or senior menu because I have a medical condition that prevents me from eating a normal portion (I told her this and it's obvious to look at me and see I'm underweight) AND in my religion it's a sin to waste food. But, their "policies" don't allow adults to order smaller meals. I suppose they rather lose a customer. In fact, that's exactly what happened. I left $4 for the coffee and for the extraordinary effort it took for the milk. I'm always pleasant with others, regardless of my mood. I was in a bad mood when I arrived yet, I treated the waitress with kindness, left the restaurant in even more of a bad mood. If I had been met with even a semblance of cordiality, my visit would have been much different. I could have overlooked not being able to order a smaller meal. Or that my table wasn't ideal. Disregarding those two, all that was needed to turn my visit into a good one was a smile and a simple pleasantry: stop me if I'm asking too much from a business in the hospitality industry. read more

Staff is very friendly as they greet right away as I enter. Got there at 11:25 for a table and place was completely packed by noon as people waited for table. I had the roast beef sandwich and fish & chips. Sandwich was above average but Fish & Chip was excellent as they give you one giant piece of fish instead of several small pieces. Only down point was the side salad they gave me looked old as some of the lettuce leaves were brown. read more
