Food is great and service is wonderful. Everything is as expected for a diner experience. They have all the food you might consider plus healthy options you might not expect a diner to offer. We had a great waitress who was thoughtful and kind to every customer which was nice to see. The reason for the atmosphere score is the tough customers that wander into the establishment. Saw a likely homeless person order a piece of pie and walk out without paying. It’s sad but I guess part of the deal in San Fran.

This is the definition of a great American diner. We stopped in for breakfast, though they offered lunch and dinner as well. We sat at the bar and was promptly attended to with menus and drinks. Breakfast was exactly what you'd expect from a diner like this. It's absolutely perfect. I would've had breakfast here every day of our trip if it were up to me. Use the parking garage 100ft. from the restaurant, it's $5 for an hour. You won't be disappointed.

We went around 8 PM and the attention and burger and MALT were all just fantastic. Malts were THICK with lots of real whip cream. Burger was hot at the cheddar was great quality. Service was fun and impeccable. Jukeboxes at tables -very cool. Great times on at all times. Make sure you see either Happy Days the series, or American graffiti the movie by George Lucas and you will LOVE the awesome decor! $20 for a burger and fries was a bit high for me, but flavors and freshness were right when you're on vacation.
