This is a classic diner with classic diner food. The decor is 50's diner. Great service here and they seat you immediately. We ate here a couple of times for a classic breakfast food. First time we ordered the two eggs combo and the full French toast the next time we ordered two eggs combo and Beachside breakfast. It was all good classic diner food. They do have early bird, weekday specials and kids eat free Wednesday. read more

Woody's Diner - Diners Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Popped in for breakfast this morning. .felt like having something healthy, so I chose the Caprese Avocado Toast with cottage cheese, which was Excellent. I usually stop by at night and get a grilled tuna sandwich on my way to work. They grill cheese on the Outside of the bread, which makes it mouth-watering delicious and something I often crave Side note..there is sadly a malicious rumor going about, that this diner on Via Lido in NB is closing. This is NOT true, so please give them a try. The food is excellent. The ambiance is cozy and neatly 'old style' the way a real diner should be. The personel is super friendly and welcoming also. read more

In Lido plaza next to movie theater. Excellent breakfast - woody's omelette. Nice tabla/booths for business discussion. Parking lot is available for free. read more

Woody's is dependably delicious, no matter which location you visit. I love their Super Spuds - they smother hashbrowns with cheese, mushrooms, avocado, sourcream and bacon bits. Really nice big slices of avocado! One time we asked for the bacon bits on the side and they gave us 2 whole slices of bacon. That was a great day! I usually order the Florentine Benedict ($21.35). My husband changes it up depending what time of day - Chicken Strips/fries ($15.95) and this time it was the Farmer's Breakfast ($21.35). We get it To Go and enjoy it at home most of the time, although we have eaten in a few times. read more

We're probably the youngest ones eating here but I love that there's plenty of free (and easy) parking, service is always stellar and so friendly! I gotta give a shout out to the busser, too, because he is on top of his game and always has a smile on his face. Woody's offers classic diner food, done really well. I almost feel like Woody's is a sleeper on the peninsula. Wednesdays after 4pm is Kids Eat Free. Kids meals are $8 and big portions so it's a great deal! I love that they give kids a coloring sheet, crayons, and a cardboard classic car to play with. Sign up for the rewards program (linked to phone number & credit card) and you'll start earning $ back. This is so random, but it's stuff like this that makes Woody's stand out - on any given night my daughter may ask for extra ranch dressing, or a random slice of toast or maybe a pickle or an extra cherry on her sundae. Whatever the random request is, the staff always have smiles on their faces and never charge us extra. It's this kind of service that makes us loyal customers and so appreciative that they take the time to make my daughter feel seen and empowered. She's only 3 years old but it really means the world to her when she can use her little voice to ask for something and the server makes her feel important and goes the extra mile to make her happy. I am so grateful for the staff here! read more

First time eating here and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was very good! Service was very good, but the restaurant wasn't busy at all when we were there because we went early and it was during the week (we had to drop off someone early at the hospital to have surgery, so we just walked over from there)! I would definitely go there again if I was in the area! read more

REALLY GOOD DINER! When you're in the mood for a local diner spot this is the place to come. They have a diverse menu selection. Came here with my coworkers and everyone loved what they got. I got the chicken club sandwich with fruit (fruit was very fresh), it was a healthy option. My coworkers got a tuna melt with onion rings, hamburger with fries, traditional club sandwich, and grilled cheese. The service was great and we received our food quickly. We will definitely be back. read more

Our server was super friendly and on top of it always bringing food and refilling waters etc. the food was exactly what we expected tasted yummy and pricing was super fair especially for the area. If you park in the villa parking center you don't have to pay as it's adjacent to the villa, but other street parking costs money. We shared chicken deluxe nachos and French fries both super yummy. We didn't like the precooked cubed chicken though and it would have been better w fresh shredded. My daughter got the chili soup and liked the little grilled cheese sandwich it came with. Next time we're in the area we'll be back! read more

I like the service and the prices! The staff is friendly and it's a great location. Not much to say about the ambiance, basic diner vibes. This place could be amazing if they added a little flair to their breakfast food maybe a signature compote for the French toast or offering something unique like eggs in a basket. Otherwise very good! read more

Great way to start my morning!! It never disappoints. I love coming here and see locals enjoying a delicious breakfast .

Great beach diner food and well worth the amount versus normal portions you get these days ! Jairo our server was so patient despite a busy Monday with lots of customers. The woody spuds are a must read more

Service and food was awesome. It's a nice little diner atmosphere for breakfast or brunch recommended highly

After circling beach parking lots for over an hour, we called it quits and decided to go someplace nearby for lunch. Despite the beach being insane, the restaurant was quiet and pretty empty. They also had free parking for the businesses in the area (including the restaurant) so that was a plus. The food was great, bathrooms were clean, but the service was awful. We barely saw our waitress, well, we saw her wondering around the restaurant not doing anything. She rarely checked on our table. The food was great however. I got the BBQ chicken wrap, I was a bit worried it would be packed with black beans but it had a good amount of chicken and other fillings as well. The fries were fresh and crispy, and I loved the BBQ ranch sauce. We also got a brownie sundae, it was really big and we were glad we decided to share instead of each getting our own dessert. read more

Great for breakfast, not supper noisy and prices are comparable to area, but Woody's is better.

Such a great hometown and local diner! Highly recommend for casual dining. Huge variety menu and fabulous malt shakes!

Went in during my lunch break and had a delicious salad (blackened chicken salad, perfect mix of sweet and salty, no dressing needed!) I sat at the bar and they were pretty empty. The waiter took my order, brought it to me from just behind him and ver checks on me again. He walked past me numerous times, never asked about the quality of my food, or if I wanted anything else.. i had EarPods in but he didn't even try to engage me to check in my food or needs the entire time. Don't recommend for their service at all. But the salad was delicious read more

This was our second time here and I'd recommend this diner. It is clean and the staff is friendly. The food was really good as well. Also the shakes were well done! read more

It was very good, I got chicken fettuccine. I do recommend woodys diner. One thing that could change was the outer smell that could be better. But the service makes up for that because they were so nice I tipped them 30 bucks. They have pretty much anything for food just referencing . read more

This is a good solid choice for reasonably priced diner food in Newport Beach, in an area where you might pay $25 for a burger at a boutique restaurant. I came with my partner for a quick bite and it was fast service and the food came quickly because there were only like 4 other patrons there (on a Saturday late afternoon/early evening). The ambiance is better than a Denny's or ihop for sure, it's a very comfortable diner with ample seating and looked very clean. I enjoyed my build your own omelette and my partner's burger looked very juicy and he said it was good. The ingredients were fresh and tasted good/cooked well. I have no complaints about this place, it was an all around good experience. Would return again! read more

I had breakfast at Woody's during a recent trip. OMG, if you want a fabulous treat that's not too unhealthy try the Paradise French toast! A huge portion of French toast sprinkled with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, coconut and powdered sugar! I'm pretty tiny but I wolfed down the entire thing, as my photos will attest! I was there for quite some time and the server was friendly and helpful, providing just the right amount of checking in on the meal. It's a diner so the ambience reflects that. It wasn't too noisy though. I never eat breakfast out so don't really have a comparison for the value. Parking was complementary and available and I was seated right away. But it definitely was a delicious treat which I highly recommend! read more

Old school diner, service is fantastic !! I Never had a bad meal, I eat here at least once every visit to New Port

Sunday 1:00pm stopped in with 4 people to grab a bite . Parking across the street in the structure was my first mistake , they have free parking in the back . The place was not too busy and we were greeted and seated . The appetizers were great and the food was good. Then the bill came with a little service charge 3% for what ? And when I complained I was shown the menu and told that they charge that on all the orders . But I could write a note to the owner on the receipt. I just don't think we need to pay a service fee on top of the bill and a 20% tip . And yes we still tip 20% it's not the severs fault the owner is just a greedy person. And short sighted . Not sure if all the Woodys diners are like this but i doubt I'll be back . read more

We enjoyed breakfast here for our group of 3 on a Sunday. It was relatively busy but we didnt have to wait. Booths were comfortable and the coffee was very good. We enjoyed all of our breakfasts including biscuits and gravy and Woody's omelet. We would return again for reliable service and delicious food. read more

A place that is busy always speaks volumes. Woody's did not let us down. Food and service were fantastic and the prices were reasonably tame. We elected to forego table seeing and sat at the sit counter just as you walk into the diner. I would highly recommend. read more

The food was excellent and service was very personable and accommodating! We went back multiple times while staying in Newport Beach.

I wish I could evaluate this place a lot better service was 10/10 food was 3/10... I appreciate the kindness and promptness; however, I would like to see this local business thrive I'm rooting for Woodys Diner not to try to reinvent the wheel but only to perhaps lessen the complex computations on the menu and focus on the basics. All I got to say is chicken wings so dry and frozen kinda like my ex wife Auntie Hellen read more

Woody's Diner - ** H A I Y A A ** - Diners Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Saltiest salad I've ever had. The chicken is over salted and the Caesar dressing is a salt bomb. I've never had a Cobb salad as bad as this.

Went there had breakfast with some friends $81. They actually charge you a surcharge without notifying you and the service was not up to standard would not recommend this place at all specially since the surcharge is not explained to you and nor will they credit you for that just ridiculous. I asked the manager for butter. He gave me a big attitude. They only served three butters with a full order of French toast. What's up with that? When I walked up to him he rolled his eyes and almost tossed it to me and walked away, terrible manager. read more

We stayed at a local Airbnb and rode our bikes here for breakfast. Was a typical diner menu, similar breakfast as Dennys. It was good and filling. The avocado toast was pretty good. No complaints but just typical diner menu items. Good for a family who wants pancakes, omelettes and potatoes. They do give Larger portions on the scramble. If we are in the areas again, we would come back. Clean and friendly staff. read more

Average diner food--nothing special coupled with grease. Our waitress rushed my partner and I although we repeatedly asked for time. She was quiet and dismissive, she didn't ask if we wanted our cheque before ordering more. 5/10 food, 0/10 service. Ridiculously expensive for diner food. read more
