I absolutely loved this restaurant . The food was amazing and the staff there was very friendly and polite. We went there in the morning and we had a great breakfast ! Definitely worth a return visit.
Always a great atmosphere! Good food, very reasonably priced! Open 24 hours ! There's nothing not to like about Studio Diner! And tonight Kambra rocked it as our waitress !
Been there a couple of times. It's like a well run NY/Long Island diner . The owners/manager really know their stuff. The layout and cleanliness, the service, and especially the food is a solid "A".
Huge pancakes . They even have Monte Cristo 's! I'm from Washington and have similar restaurants but the friendly staff , food, and overall look of the restaurant topped it off.
I hadn't been here in awhile. I love their fried clams . Really good and a treat. The clam chowder was OK. They do have killer shakes here. Love their menu, and that you can get food at anytime!
Good late night spot . Lobster rolls are a little small for the price but tasty. Fried clams were fresh but a little gritty. Great shakes . Food in general is very good.
chicken pot pie dinner with mash , asparagus , sweet potato waffle fries , chocolate malts , all excellent! especially on 24hr open weekends!
Inside is LOUD , but salads and sandwiches are excellent. Eat on the patio is you want to hear the conversation at your own table.
Really good american style breakfast . The burgers are not bad but make sure you save room for the banana split ! 😊
Traditional diner with a modern design . Extensive menu with great options on sandwiches and burgers .
The service is awesome! They are ready to help make sure you get a fantastic dining experience! Extremely recommended!
The whole belly clam strips and lobster roll are amazing! Kinda pricey , but well worth it. Just like you get on the east coast.
I like the porkchop with apple sauce👍🏻 milkshakes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've been coming here for quite a while and honestly I've never had something I didn't like. The big win though, Mac N Cheeeeeeese!
I enjoyed how everything was home made and not frozen like so many places.
A real studio & a real diner ! What else do you need to know? Oh, great food, too!
Great new diner in Kearny Mesa, East Coast style. The soups are available in cups or bowls and they're awesome!
Large potions and their pancakes are awesome. Must stop!
The Monte Cristi rocks. Great service and creative dishes.
Everything here is good! Love the Monte Cristo Sandwich !!
Great omlettes , I had one with avocados and mushrooms had a cute name forget what it was though. Good coffee too!
Show us your game ticket to the 2010 Holiday Bowl and you’ll get a FREE cup of Excellent soup or an appetizer* when you order an entrée & a beverage! (*not including the “East Coast Sampler”)
Their steak breakfast plate is great and their pancakes are excellent.
You must order anything lobster or clams ! All Amazing!
Loved their kid menu options! Mom had a delicious steak salad !
Cozy , old style diner ! Breakfast menu serve all day!
The tarter sauce is tasty, its a fair crabby appetizer .
The monte cristo will make u sick if u eat it all. Deep fried craziness. Damn good just for a few bites. This is fair food!
We came here after a night of Halloween drinking. Reminded us of home, just like a NJ diner !!
it's not on the menu ,but ask to sub out your vanilla ice cream with cookies n cream
The BLT is huge and good. It's a must try.
The BLT has more bacon on it than you can finish...I feel my arteries clogging...in a good way.
Come during comiccon to see lots of Klingons. They all gather here.
The service was pretty terriable tonight. Maybe short staffed idk? This has never been the case before so i will be back again. Food was 100% as always! Great Work.
Tmc loves the studio diner. Stop much movie memorabilia and awesome food. Just wish txtmovieclub.com offered free movie screenings in San Diego.
Insanely good chili . Samson steak sandwich great. Very good breakfast

Great breakfast place.
The soups , the lobster roll , and the employees!
This place has new hours 6am to 10pm every day
The Fish & Chips : A fish the size of your forearm. It's one menacing meal
The fish & chips are HUGE! Make sure you're REALLY hungry our have a friend to split it with!
Delicious omelets , plus they serve Stone IPA !
The pancakes are huge! Very filling!
Be ready for the fish n chips . It looks like a whale tale, but tasty after removing the thick beer batter
You must get the steak sandwich
You can get the awesome mac and cheese as a side. Do it!
Food is okay...we waited 30 minutes for a table and 30 minutes for some pretty simple breakfast dishes . Last place to go for a 8 am business meeting.
Awesome place and i think you get money worth. Fish and Chips are incredibly filling.
I LOVE this place. So sad it's not open 24 hours/day anymore. :-(
