Best Diner food near Santa Cruz, California, United States
Reviews on Diner food in Santa Cruz, California, United States. The quintessential California beach town of Santa Cruz! It was here that surfing was first brought to the mainland by Hawaiian royalty. Home to the legendary Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, a pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined downtown area, and the historic Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf, which stretches out a half-mile into the waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Other highlights include UC Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum, and nearby redwood forests.

This vegetarian restaurant is excellent. The menu is broad, leaning toward a latin emphasis. Each item in the large selection of items available as vegan or gluten free is clearly marked. Service is friendly and efficient. Try the âchickenâ fajita bowl. Outstanding! We ate both a dinner and a later breakfast and both were excellent with equally wide choices available.

As a big plus, this is a place where locals congregate. They enjoy the friendly service and the large portions. While the food is just fine, it is not anything to write home about. I had the pho which had great broth but the chicken lacked flavor.

We all had burgers & sandwiches, but other options include lots of appies, "specialty" sandwiches, salads large & small, a few entrees (tri-tip, turkey plate, fish n chips, mac & cheese) & a nice kids' menu. Also lots of shakes (including alcoholic "adult" shakes), cocktails & so on. The burgers were good, certainly, but not the best I've had. The BLT looked great. A couple of us weren't in the mood for huge white buns & got our burgers lettuce-wrapped, which was perfect. We got a couple baskets of fries, half regular, half sweet potato, which were delicious.The atmosphere is fun-funky, with two halves of an Airstream trailer inside, lots of kitsch on the walls etc. It's loud, tho we were able to get a big table in the second (back) room, which has less character but also less noise. Our waitress was excellent & almost absurdly perky. We'd definitely eat here again, tho will continue our quest for an out-of-this-world restaurant burger.
