Lumpy's Diner

I have lived in Oakley for years, can’t believe this is the first time here! Doesn’t look much from the outside but the inside looks pretty cool. Looks like an old diner with your normal adds on the wall, old Route 66 placard and a mural painted on one wall. Love the vibe, the smells of good food and the loud sound of the hustle and bustle of the kitchen! The food was amazingly delicious. I think I tried everyone’s food on the table. The chicken and waffles, Buffalo wings, French toast, and Eggs Benedict with sweet potato fries. Those bacon that came with my French toast were nice and crunchy and they were not one of those skinny bacons. The staff were super nice and very attentive. And their nice smiles were an added bonus! They kept the refills going. I didn’t know what to expect about the price but I think it was standard. Oh FYI, their hours of operation is very limited so if you want to come they’re only open until 1pm and it gets crowded. So be prepared to wait a little.

Service was great, food was horrible. Ordered the Kitchen Sink Omelette. Thing was dry, rubbery and flavorless. I can usually finish a meal if I add some salt, pepper and hot sauce and just muscle through an "okay" meal. That couldn't save this meal. Only real saving grace was the cinnamon roll, but even that's not a good enough reason to recommend this place.
