Fantastic find, just inland slightly from Redondo Beach a real american diner, not like Ruby's, a fake pretend american diner, this one is the real deal. You sit on a bench on a long table next to (god forbid) a stranger! you order a breakfast for a few dollars and it arrives with a smile, fresh and hot and delicious.... more

I think those bad review's were just people that are unsatisfied with theirselves. The food was great. I grew up on sea food and can honestly say that, "it was real sea food", done the way it was supposed to be done. For all you folk's out there who like sea food, I recommend you give it a try.

We decided to give this a try despite the bad reviews because it has a nice location and views across the bay. Big mistake. We ordered a special seafood platter, crab, and crab cakes. I really can't believe that the chef would have allowed them out of the kitchen. The seafood platter was greasy and thrown together, the crab cakes... more
