Santa Cruz Diner

This is one of my favorite places to dine. They offer a variety of menu choices at a reasonable price. My servers are always friendly and fast. The cooks definitely know what people like, perfectly cooked food. Thank you for your excellent service😃

Great old style dinner. Very interesting eclectic atmosphere. The portions were generous for the rice bowls - salmon teriyaki and chicken teriyaki. Recommended and we would come back for sure!

My partner, who was living in SC years ago assured me that this place was good, he tried everything on the menu. Sadly, it was almost 10 years ago.We ordered lemonade as drinks. Never drank something so sweet, it made our taste buds burn, even when watered down.My partner took the "house-made specialty" yankee pot roast. They pretend it's slow cooked, we never had a meat so dry before, even with the sauce. Tasteless dry plate, a shame to call "specialty". I took a burger, you have to dress it yourself and that's a poor move considering you have to see the bottom of your meat, who was completely burnt. The burger tasted just burnt, I didn't finish it. Considering the fact that those meals were terrible, we didn't order dessert and just had the check. Staff is friendly enough at least.And there's also teenagers on drugs on the parking lot, that's the sad reality of what Santa Cruz has become.

This is a very known diner with the locals. Great art and history on the walls. You can find some interesting people and stories. Never a dull moment.

It was good but found a BUG on plate and my boyfriends chicken sandwich was TERRIBLE! the chicken breast was so blan,the bread for sandwich was soggy and flattened the onions had end parts that totally should have been cut off and last but not least,the coffee was really watery and thought it was just for better coffee and it still came back watery? But we do have to say the WAITER was GREAT! he tried to compensate in every way and totally understood us and gave us great service.

We love SC Diner because they always have what we crave, because their menu has just the variety we need. Family-friendly with warm and professional service, and the juke box is the icing on the cake.

Food was decent, portions were very generous. Waiter was abscent, forgot to bring a drink, did not stop by table to ask about take out containers after an hour he still had not brought the ticket.

My most recent visit was a stark contrast to the previous visit. The food was better, more of what you would expect from a typical diner. You really can't miss with a cheeseburger. My wife ordered the Pho which is a hit for this place. The service was also very good. Food was fast and fresh.

Good service and cozy place to eat.

Good food and great service! The food is brought timely and there are lots of options on the menu.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and their french toast and tiramisu were DELICIOUS! The bacon was good. The eggs and hash browns were meh.

Nice little nostalgic diner. My dad is a baby boomer and lived the 50s surfer vibe the place had and the food was awesome too. Huge portions and the salmon I had was delicious.

Santa Cruz diner was excellent. The food was tasty the service was excellent.

Amazing food! Great environment

We came here because of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Very kitschy. The pho was good and bowl large.
