As aforementioned, Tara had a real fondness for IHOP and the easy accessibility it afforded when she had a real hankering for hotcakes at all hours of the day. But, although she had a real affinity for pancakes and such, she never particularly ate a lot of them at any one meal. Sure, she would try all the different international varieties and limited offerings that was on the menu, but never cared to just pack a bus load away as a testament to her love of the griddle cakes. She would've been shocked at the hubcap monstrosities they have at Zeke. These were possibly the largest pancakes I've ever been served at a breakfast food joint. Moreover, they were pretty delicious. I know there's only so much you can do to punch up pancakes. However, you can definitely ruin them by overcooking, undercooking, or just plain messing up the ratio of the batter. These were far from ruined--fluffy, hefty, and possessing a good sponginess with every bite. And they looked like the size of a Hobbit front door. The service was great. The server was quick, friendly, and reliable. He had my coffee refills on lock and honored every other request in an efficient manner. I reckon this place has excellent customer service up and down its employee roster. The ambiance of the place was great. It's not the biggest dining area, but it was more than enough for the crowd they had coming in without everyone feeling like they're in top of you. And the decor has that definitive feel of a man named Zeke opening his home to share a meal with you. All in all, this place is great so if you just want a decent breakfast served by decent people, come here. Also, if you want pancakes bigger than the sun, come here. read more

Zeke's Eatin' Place - Hod size breakfast, eggs, bacon and cottage cheese and omelet with chil, cheese and onions. Plus biscuits and gravy. We had a great time! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ontario, California

Tucked in the corner of a plaza, it's a homey atmosphere as you walk in. It looks like a hole in the wall, but I would AVOID. - 2 eggs, half hash browns, 1 bacon 1 sausage 2.1/5 Eggs came out perfect, hash browns were crispy on the top, but wow, the bacon and sausage was such a let down. The bacon was thick cut but VERY overcooked, burnt pieces on one side. Tasted bad.. the sausage was steamed or boiled, disappointment. - Biscuit & gravy side 1.1/5 Apparently their "world famous" biscuit and gravy.. not sure what's famous about it. The biscuit was hard and dry and tasted old. The gravy was lacking flavor was wasn't even hot when it came out. - Chicken & Waffles 1.4/5 Waffles smelled good when it came out and looked picture perfect. It lacked heavily in flavor. One of the worst waffles I've ever had. The chicken was chicken strips, which we were okay with having. The chicken was over-battered, over-fried, and very bland. It was not tender. Free parking in huge lot. read more

Quick bite after church we were seated immediately and greeted very kindly by our waiter! Menu is quite vast and the restaurant itself has a very old-timey diner feel to it! I ordered some chicken tenders and I wanted to try the Famous plate-wide pancakes that the had and it did not disappoint! Everyone at my table was very pleased with their food and it looks like this will be a nice staple in my restaurant routine in the future! read more

This is our usual spot for breakfast when in Ontario, came in on 2/14/2026, IDK if they changed the cooks, but the food was smaller. There was hardly any ham & cheese in my "Ham & Cheddar" omelette. There was hardly hash browns and biscuits and gravy seemed smaller too. Used to get larger portions. asked for my favorite salsa they ALWAYS have, (chunky tomatoes, onions etc) and it was now a blended more "sauce" kind, you couldn't see the tomatoes,onions etc. mind you it has been a few months since we've been there, but it always seemed consistent. I asked the waiter for the "other salsa" and he stated that "that was it, that's what they always have" NOT, I've been coming to Zekes over 30 years. I'm hoping this was just a fluke, and not things that are permanently changed. I'd hate for one of our family favorites to be out of our rotation of places we eat at monthly because of changes in cooks or the owners cutting costs on their customers read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast and were immediately seated at a clean booth. The staff was very warm and welcoming throughout our entire meal. I ordered the 4 sausage link breakfast which included toast, 2 eggs, and hashbrowns. It was your typical below average diner food that arrived quickly and the quality wasn't anything special. My colleague had the "Man Sized Cakes", which were absolutely massive pancakes. They weren't horrible but very tough that you couldn't even cut through them with a fork. We watched 2 other tables send their food back during our meal so I don't think we were the only ones experiencing a subpar breakfast. read more

This place is just a few block from my house so I had to give it a try! My friend also said their biscuits and gravy's really good so I just had to taste it for myself. We ordered for takeout which was completed relatively quick for a Sunday morning. Their breakfast comes with 2 eggs, hash browns or country potatoes , and biscuits and gravy. Let me just start off by saying that their portion is HUGE! It is definitely shareable! Collectively we ordered: Country fried stick with biscuits and gravy - 6/10 Belgium waffle with extra bananas - 7.5/10 The country fried steak was good but it was a little dry. The hash-browns weren't crispy and it was a bit soggy. The eggs that came with it were not seasoned but maybe that's the point since you're supposed to eat it all with the gravy. Their biscuits and gravy could have been a lot better. Just like the country fried steak, the biscuit was dry. The gravy was good and it was what made the biscuit and country fried steak good. The Belgium waffle was great. It was soft and chewy and it tasted really good with the bananas and syrup. Friendly staff so that's a plus! And the restaurant itself was very homey and gave an old diner feel! read more

This place is still amazing, came here as a kid. I do miss the old staff but food is still great nonetheless

Service and ambiance were excellent, biscuits and gravy SUCKED. No meat in the gravy, tasteless! I guess here in liberal California it is racist to put meat in the gravy or something. Biscuits small and no good. Soggy hash browns, small portion. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant and I ordered the fish, grits and egg with bisquicks and gravy. The grits were horrible and under cooked. The bisquicks and gravy tasted like pasty and the gravy was nothing to desire. My partner had kids meal pancakes, bacon and eggs. He said they were ok. Now ask me if I'm going back? read more

A small restaurant with big food. Quiet and cozy. Our 1st time here. The portions are nice sizes. The service was good. Our waitress was rather quiet. She did refill our drinks when they were low and asked if everything was okay. The male waiter was more outgoing and talkative. My bacon was perfect, so I also tipped the cook. It's so hard to find a restaurant where I don't have to send the bacon back. The breakfast burrito was a little too oily for our liking. 8 out of 10... The 2 breakfast meals, 10 out of 10. I would recommend and also go back. read more

Place is welcoming. They have good staff from seating to serving. They have a vast menu so you are not simply limited to breakfast in the morning, lunch at a certain time.

Definitely will be dining here often! read more

This place is a good solid place up in the northern part of California if you're up there in that area. The food here is delicious. They give you great size portions to wear if you're not all that hungry you still have some to take home. The waiting staff here is great. They're friendly. Awesome making sure you get your food. Beverages on time. And it's a great atmosphere just the chowder of people around you and carry on good conversations. read more

I have been coming here for over 30 years and I never leave disappointed. This time I took my sister who resides just a few blocks from there. I had the whole side of Hog with sunny side up eggs and my extra crispy hash browns. The service was great and the meal even better now my sister has a new place to take her family & friends. Adios hasta la vista Zeke read more

This place has been on my to do list for a long while. " The best breakfast in Ontario " is quite a flame from a place in the center of a strip center. I opted for a waffle combo with sausage & a poached egg. Mom chose to have a ham and cheese omelette it came with a pancake. We both had juice &coffee. The food arrived & the pancake took up a platter on its own. The waffle was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Flavor wise everything was good. I might go bacon next time as the sausage was good but nothing special. Service was great our server was attentive & kept our coffee filled. The atmosphere, the menu has a back story of Zeke the prospector . Lots of John Wane pictures. It is a small place very clean. The white curtains on the windows were spotless. I would put it in the top breakfast spots. I plan to try lunch soon read more

The staff and service has always been top notch. This morning was another example of attentiveness by our server. We were welcomed the moment we walked in, our drink order was immediately taken and our coffee cups never ran empty or cold. I don't come here as often as I'd like but when I do it's always an enjoyable experience and the food (chorizo and eggs) is always a staple I enjoy, can't forget to try their biscuits and gravy! read more

I have been dining at Zeke's on and off for over 20 years when I first started working at Ontario airport. I went there today to meet a good friend and former work colleague. We had lunch and nothing has changed from my first visit here years ago. My fried chicken and waffle was delicious. My friend's burger was as good as ever. The service was very good and with the amount of people dining there at 11:30, its obvious that Zeke's is still a good "eatin' place". read more

I was in town for business and I always like to try different restaurants that I do not have back home. I asked someone at the hotel I was staying at where might be a good place to try for breakfast. When she asked me what I liked and I told her chicken and waffles she recommended this place. I consider myself a bit of a snob when it comes to chicken and waffles and I have to admit that, although this food was OK, it definitely did not rank with even some of the average chicken and waffles I have had. The staff was friendly and the price was not bad, however. But if you are like me, and you are picky about your chicken and waffles, this place might not be for you either. The rest of the menu looks OK and I'm sure the other breakfast items would be fine. If I travel back here again and come back to this restaurant I might try something else on the menu, but will likely not give the chicken and waffles another go. read more

Small quaint diner with a Western theme. Casual dining. Friendly staff. I ordered the Kitchen Sink Omelet, which came with hash browns and a side of their famous biscuits & gravy. My omelet was good. Some of my hash browns were cooked really hard & I couldn't eat them. I was able to salvage a good portion of it. The gravy on the biscuits had a nice flavor, and the biscuit underneath was good. Breakfast and lunch are served all day and they have quite a few options at reasonable prices. New items on the menu include chicken & waffles and also fried catfish that can be served with grits. Service was fast, and the serving sizes are nice. I would recommend this spot. read more

Fun place that's well decorated, food was served quickly and at a good price not much more than that

I ate at Pete's today for the first time in a long time. The food was good, the staff were friendly. I will eat there again soon

My first visit to Zekes was at the old address back around 1998. It was fabulous. Last week, we went back and it just wasn't the same. I could tell when I walked in that things just weren't the same. The food was "ok" I guess, but it was better back in the day. They didn't have a couple of items that were on the menu. That was disappointing. I remember them having sweet tea. Not any more. It's hard to place my finger on exactly what was different and wrong, but I think we've all had that feeling where you know something isn't the same, but it's hard to explain. read more

Grab some food to-go. Picked up the French dip and a Philly steak. No flavor on the steak. Rather than thin slices it was a dry, flavorless cuts of steak. Sandwich tasted like nothing. And pretty disappointing. French dip was also pretty plain. Just a couple slices of meat in the bread roll. Au just was mediocre but it helped with the Philly giving it some flavor. Fries were delicious at least. For the 33 dollars spent I'm very disappointed in the food. Possibly a place that's good for breakfast only. read more

This place has always been a "must-have" for breakfast. Well, things have changed. My hubby said it best, "they served us a sub par breakfast!" Total disappointment . We did carry out because we were not in the mood to dine in. When I got there, a bag of food was sitting on the table, closed up in front of the cash register. That was problem #1. There's no telling how long it had been sitting out in the general population without any type of warming situation. That turned me out automatically. Like who does that? Apparently they do. I was ready to get out of there and didn't check for condiments or anything else. Because rule #1 is, if someone orders a waffle, you give them syrup! Another thing that was an epic fail. I live less than 2 miles away from here and once I got home my thoughts came to reality! "Cold, hard, butter less waffle with no syrup!" The meal went to the doghouse immediately! I ordered a 2pc chicken and waffle, no powdered sugar. Simply look at my pics and video and you will see what I got. The hubby ordered the half ham breakfast. Now in the past, the half ham was a very large half of a ham steak. Look at my pics. It looked like a strip of bacon! Terribly dry and uninviting. $28 totally wasted! I'm still hungry. Besides the chilled food I picked up, the taste was gag-able! The meat was dry. My chicken leg tasted like wood and was brick hard. The breast looked like a chicken thigh. Dry as wood. The batter on the chicken tasted like corn meal and flour...more meal-ish than flour-ish. It hurt my heart because yawl know I'm a foodie and my breakfast was a flop! This post-pandemic era we are in doesn't have to be this way! We should be able to still have delightful meals whether it's dine in or take out. This is the only place I've been in that does not have "now hiring" in front of it, so what is actually going on with Zekes? Bring back the pre-covid standards and redeem yourself Zeke. I would love to have faith that this could be what it used to be. 5 star, good quality, hot food with large portions, however, i have my doubts. So with that being said, I will not be returning any time soon. read more
