We have dined at this iconic local restaurant many times over the years in our travels, but only now have we written a review of this great home style restaurant. It is a cozy, comfortable dining establishment. Styled like a Denny's and black bear dinner, but brightly decorated. If you dine here for breakfast or lunch you will find many local diners here. Their loyalty cannot be denied. Also we have seen work crews, law enforcement and truckers stop here. Though truckers will have a hard time parking. It is the congeniality, friendliness of the staff and management and especially the home c

In town visiting my Son in Santa Maria. Came here for breakfast highly recommended. We ordered the 4 eggs veggie omelet with added ham and sausage. The omelet was very delicious 😋. I highly recommend. It also came with 2 pancakes. I change it to pumpkin pancake. The atmosphere was great and the coffee is very good. The only complaints I have is more attentive to refilling my coffee. 3 refills, I have to ask 3 times. Definitely enjoy the breakfast. 🥞🍳☕️ #Breakfast #Omelet #Coffee #Pancakes #SantaMaria

This place gets busy, solid breakfast food, if you leave hungry it's your own fault, they nail all the breakfast staples solidly. Their pies are okay, but for a great hearty breakfast, you can't beat the place. For lunch and dinner it's similar to Black Bear Diner food-wise, but man, for breakfast, you can't beat the place. Plan on spending 1-2 hours for breakfast though, as it gets really busy and the kitchen gets really backed up.
