Reviews

On our final day visiting San Jose, we made the decision to explore a local city diner.
Lo and behold, we stumbled upon a charming establishment aptly named City Diner.
Intrigued, we decided to stop by and indulge in a few items for lunch.
To our delight, the shakes we ordered were nothing short of extraordinary, bursting with flavors that left our taste buds in awe.
Accompanying our shakes, we savored a mouthwatering burger and a variety of other good items.
The staff at City Diner impressed us with their professionalism and warm, friendly demeanor.
The diner was truly unique, creating an inviting atmosphere.
If we were living in San Jose, we would undoubtedly become a regular food visit from us.


Was visiting San Jose from out of town and needed breakfast.
There was nothing that looked good downtown so I searched “diner” and looked for one with a parking lot.
This place blew my mind!!! We were seated right away, there were a lot of regulars and the wait staff knew their names.
The waitress knew the menu really well which is extremely important for me as I have a weird food sensitivity for a really common seasoning.
I was able to order exactly what I wanted, the Turkey and avocado eggs Benedict and it was delicious.
I never would have thought to put Turkey on that, and I’m not the biggest fan of Turkey but this was so juicy and fresh it was quite delicious.
My partner ordered the chicken and waffles and got two meals out of it easy and couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was.
I can’t imagine a better diner experience.
The menu had a lot of different options that helped fit my tricky dietary needs.
I’m coming back every chance I get next time I’m in San Jose.


This hidden gem has amazing food and super cool atmosphere.
You can feel the vibe in the wall decor, the food, the music, even the ketchup bottle. We loved the service and the food.
The chicken and waffles are glorious, soft and crunchy with a spicy syrup 🤍, we also got the San Francisco sandwich, which was very good too. The highlight for me was the strawberry malt milkshake, must. Great place, we will be coming back for sure.
