Mom's Diner — Restaurant in California

Friendly staff that treats everyone like family. While there we saw several regulars come in and chat it up with the staff, and it felt like we'd walked onto a classic movie set with everyone just chatting during their lunch.

The menu was an excellent mixture of standard classic American food, as well as a few fun alternatives such as cottage cheese and pink lemonade. Also, you can order breakfast for lunch, so anything on the menu can be ordered any time.

As for the food, I had a cheeseburger with bacon along with my wife, and we were pleased to say they don't skimp on the toppings. There was plenty of bacon on my burger, and it came with a pile of freshly made French fries that tasted like they were freshly cut (not frozen), and they were light on the salt. The burgers were large and delicious, altogether a far better meal than any fast-food fare offered nearby. We definitely got more/higher quality food at Mom's Diner; they are a quality restaurant and we will definitely be back for more! The only down-side is they close at 2 PM daily, so that limits how often we'll be able to go.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and a great price. Can't recommend it higher in the...

We really enjoyed our experience at Mon's Diner. At first, I almost walked out, only because I get hot real easy. There is no air conditioning. It's just a little swamp cooler in the corner. Well, one of the waitresses suggests we sit at the counter. I'm so glad we did. Not only was it a little cooler, but we got to experience the joy of seeing this small diner in action. It's literally very small. Two waitresses, two cooks, and an elderly lady HAND washing the cups. It's like we stepped back in time. And then there were their regulars that the waitresses knew what they wanted as soon as they sat down. The place was so friendly and personable. The food was wonderful. I got a turkey club with onion rings. My husband got the ultimate omelet and absolutely loved it! If we ever get back in this area again, I will definitely stop in again. But, this time it will be in cooler weather! Thank you for all you do for your community. Thank you for making strangers...

Our first time coming to Mom's Diner. Went on Saturday morning. Place was very busy, took 45 minutes to get our food. We both ordered the Hot Mess breakfast and also ordered 2 Pastrami sandwiches to go. The breakfast food was a good portion but was overcooked, burnt and very greasy. Just picked at our breakfast and took it home. Didn't look at the Pastrami sandwiches before taking them home because if I did, I would have sent them back and not paid for them. Small portion of Pastrami that was burnt all along the edges! Fed it to our dogs! Worst $50 meals I have ever had! Read reviews and thought we were in for a great experience and great food. Never been so disappointed in food! Will...
