Best KPortal Reviews

Convenient location and easy to get to. Parking can be tough on those busy weekend days. Service was a bit slow (and it was fairly empty when we arrived). Has an open kitchen, so one could see the good being prepared, but it was small (so with service being slow when we were there, wondered what it would be like when busy). A lot of people came for takeout and some regulars came to eat, so seems to be a good local spot.
The food always tastes fresh. We are breakfast regulars here and like the quick service and great staff.
Good food. Lots of options to pick from. The location is easy to access and has parking behind the restaurant which was handy. Service was friendly. We went to Tom's Depot for breakfast both days we were in the area.
I'm torn about submitting this review because Tom's Depot is probably the best diner in the area...but I don't want a gazillion people showing up there to mess up the wonderfully relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
But, I confess that you should go try it once before you move to Texas...j/k...
The Reuben is especially delicious!
Wonderful people work here, the customer service is always amazing. The cuisine is a mix. Our breakfast consisted of pancakes with bacon and fresh fruit, a sausage and vegetable omelet, bowl of oatmeal with raising and brown sugar, and a brown curry based omelet. It was all fantastic. The Mexican food has mostly been eliminated from the menu.
What a truly nice old school place. I had the corned beef hash breakfast. I ordered it without mushrooms and the waitress brought it out with mushrooms, immediately noticed and made a new one for me. Such wonderful service. The apple pancakes were delicious, not too sweet and perfect with the cinnamon sugar on top. My friend had the linguica sausage and it was soooo good. Not too spicy, full of flavor and nicely crisped. The hash browns could have been a little crunchier, but I would give them another try. It looks like they usually are perfectly cooked based on other reviews. Topped it off with some ice cream. Nothing special, just old school chocolate and strawberry. Really delicious. Highly recommend if diner food is your thing
This is an old staple in the community of Los Altos. There are tables outside for cyclists to watch their bikes and dine, and lots of indoor diner style eating - recommended for standard diner fare and friendly service. A nice nostalgic train depot mural on the wall. I love coming here and then visiting the Bicycle Outfitter shop next door.
Old world charm and amazing breakfast with great coffee. Interesting train theme on the wall, looks like a portal to another time in history, relaxed, unhurried and reassuring. Careful the clock is painted too! Good service. Best place for an all American breakfast.
