Service, food ????, and the 50's atmosphere makes dining here amazing and it's been rated by Guy Fieri on his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Good diner food , fun atmosphere . The Pho is quite good, along with spring rolls . Daniel provided excellent service and made you feel welcome. Will definitely return.
Try the JUMBO #vegan hotdogs w/sauerkraut, jalapeño & tapatío ($4.79) on #meatlessmonday. That'll give you energy without being too filling for a day out on the water
Vegan friendly but not dog friendly yet. Very busy on the weekends for breakfast through lunch . Get there early -- which is easy since they're open 24 hrs./day.
Perfect late night diner food for a cheap price. Make sure you split a plate of mozzarella sticks and come early for Waffles as they stop selling them after 11!
Great staff . Except some late nights , a rude, sour, incomprehensible older lady who's kinda crappy- My only complaint. Almost everyone else: spectacular service & makes u smile They work hard, too!
Phi only has rare steak , but still good. This place is ridiculously cheap and perfect for binge eating. Cappuccino milkshake blew my mind.
Quality varies wildly depending on the dish, but the NY strip steak is reliably tasty (charred yet not overdone). Salmon salad is also good - salmon on top of a large salad bowl of iceberg lettuce!
Best chicken fried steak & gravy . Some awesome chefs cook perfect food but other chefs & days not as much. Never was able to figure out when there. Its a lucky surprise sometimes! Always good tho!
Everything! Well , except the hash browns ???? I haven't had anything bad & they have a wide variety of food.
A great traditional diner with plenty of signs inside to get you smiling. Food and coffee was outstanding.
Vegan hot dog , tofu scramble & Vegan curry , pictured
French toast . Biscuits and gravy . Curly fries . Vegan options . they're all so delicious
Menu selection and price are off the charts good! Service rocks and food tastes great! Eating here all week!
Excellent food and service! I'll be stopping by everytime I'm in town for sure.
Decent late night food when you're hungry. Great service. Definitely yummy.
Great pot roast . Excellent clam chowder . Fast service .
Love the food choices!! And the chocolate creme pie is awesome.
Nice local place. Pho had way too much star anise in broth. I can still taste it a day later.
I loved the seafood fetuccine.
Try the California Omlette - Great omelette with bacon jack cheese and avocado .
Be sure to have your order ready or the waitress will give you the cold shoulder and home dentistry would be more enjoyable than the service
We had great service. The food was good, especially the pho
Great inexpensive meals...the Beef Pho is awesome

Not bad for lunch but their tastiest stuff is their breakfast and Asian food . Spring rolls are good and the pancakes are delicious...big too!
Interior very cool (like Buck's of Woodside). Avoid the Filipina waitress .
Real early morning is great - quiet warm place for a cup in the morn!
Wonderful Eggs Benedict & fantastic service - and open 24 hours !
Overpriced. 2.89 for diner coffee (compared to 2.25 for Starbucks of twice the size and quality) and +$3 for what amounts to freezer-packaged chicken apple sausage .
Had a bomb veggie dog with grilled onions !
Steak are amazing good.
Great dinner . Biscuit and gravy hit the spot.
Great selelction of food.
24hrs ! Biggest menu option!
Try Death by Brownie , it takes a few people to eat it.
Try the Pho . Bet you can't finish the huge portion .
Order the Pho . You won't be disappointed or hungry for a while.
I'd been looking forward to eating here for a loooong time. I ordered the potato pancakes which ended up being hash browns with green onions & parsley . That made me sad. The bathroom was filthy too.
Food is pretty good but the ceiling fan broke while we were eating. Beware of hot weather.
Breakfast as it was meant to be
The Santa Cruz Diner was featured on Diners, Dives & Drive-ins.
The food looks great, the waitress is sweet, but the service is soooo slow. The place isn't even half full and I've been waiting on a burger for over 15 minutes...
Waffles are available 6am-11pm ;-)
Best CornedBeef Hash !
There are Trivial Pursuit cards are on every table.
Try the Chicken Crepe
A tip: Don't go here. Inflated prices for mediocre food at best. Unless you're super drunk or stoned, then anything here will taste spectacular.
Super random food but not too shabby
Get the chocolate chip panckakes
I enjoy Bettys eat in at least once a month Tonight we ordered 2 big bettys burgers MEDIUM and a garlic fry basket and a Reg Fry basket take out The burgers were dry and well done inedible 30.00 ! - Gena Sinopoli
The clam chowder and fresh fish dishes are wonderful. Get there on a Wendesday to see the sail boats races and sunset - Bobbie Nelson
Try the brunch specials. You won't be disappointed. Delicious and huge portions. I really like the ambiance here - Stephen Peaslee
We love the boardwalk. There is food places inside. (try the funnel cakes), nice restrooms, And some fun rides. Try the historical great dipper roller coaster. Its the 5th oldewr coaster. ???? - Chloe Wohlers
Kahlua crunch is awesome. Junior double is huge!!! butter brickle is smooth. The ice creams are thick, not too sweet. The ones with nuts are nutty. Tip the servers. They are great. - Krishna Shrinivas
Beautiful stretch of beach with dramatic views and lots of rocks to climb - Nico Pitney
