This diner offers all-American fare, mammoth booths and a view overlooking Lake Merritt well into the wee hours. The omelets are adequate, the sandwiches pack no punches, and the fried chicken and waffles offers deli-style fast-food poultry with tender, but somewhat bland, waffles. People do not flock here for the fine eats, but it's been a breakfast-all-day East Bay diner tradition for decades. Be sure to tour the rotating and animated birthday cake display case, and don't miss the refreshing and fun Orange Fizz---best when shared with two straws.
