Very fast service real good breakfast I had the biscuits and gravy and we also ordered ham and eggs. Nice beef ham steak really good if you’re in San Bernardino and you wanna pick up something to eat DJs is a good place and like I said fast service nice waitresses. Making sure that you have everything. And very reasonable price

The food was good, definitely worth every penny. The service was also pretty good, we were greeted and our waitress was the sweetest! Atmosphere was my only complaint. Seats were kind of worn, hard , and some of the patreons were looking at me like I had some sort of scarlet letter on my chest. Other than that ...yummy! Highly recommend.

I can't say enough how I love this place. Even when they are busy we still get great service. The food is always great, the waiter/waitress are always attentive and friendly. We love Dj's and have been coming here for years! Keep doing what you guys do!!

I swung by out of curiosity. It’s a small unassuming little place but inside it has a very warm, friendly, homey vibe. Staff were very polite, chatty, and cheerful, made me want to stay longer. I ordered the sirloin steak and eggs meal with pancakes. The food came out within 15 minutes of me ordering, and was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this cute little place!

This is a cute little home in the wall restaurant with really good food. It normally has a wait, but we were able to walk right in. Our waitress kept our drinks full, served us hot food all at the same time. We had a party of 7 so a gratuity was added to bill. The waitress made sure to tell us. I thought that was nice of her.

DJs is exactly what you need it to be. Great food, great service, friendly environment with a classic diner feel. Sit at the counter for quick and attentive service. Absolute hidden gem.

Great everything. Literally an amazing diner, but I needed a moment to shift what I think a "coffee shop" is. LA has a different version. I was looking for a quick stop but I'm happy.

Food was definitely good proportion for price but what stood out to me was the service. Our waitress Laura was phenomenal!!! The food was great but her service made you feel like you’ve found a second place to call home. She checked up on us and had us laughing and made sure we were taken care of. Thank you. Will be coming back for sure.

I've been living in San Bernardino for 3 years now, and I've driven past DJ's Coffee Shop more times than I can count. But after finally stopping by to eat, I instantly regretted... not stopping by sooner! This place is amazing. I had the chicken plate, it was juicy and thick, just how I like it. My son got the chicken breast breakfast plate, and let me tell you, that breast was firm, large and round, no complaints there. The customer service? Top-tier. Friendly, fast, and funny. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows. I enjoyed it so much I went back two days later. This time I had the chicken sandwich, and wow, flavorful, crispy, and thicker than a booty. I'm not even joking. That sandwich was built. DJ's is officially my new favorite joint in SB. I recommend it to anyone who loves good food and good vibes. Don't wait like I did, stop by!

Classic, AMAZING diner! The Waffle House and Black Bear diner have absolutely nothing on this place. One of the best steak n eggs EVER! Hash-browns were to perfection, side salad is loaded and the liver n onions was top notch delish! We will be back for sure and regular customers. Holy smokes I'm so impressed! Great food, old skool hard plastic cup diner that I adore! Don't pass this place up. (Service was great too... super sweet genuine peeps!)

Basically paid for a backyard burger. The reviews said this place was great, so my group and I were excited to try a new place. Pros: portions are slightly larger & servers are great Cons: taste & seasoning Although I asked for the tomatoes and pickles on the side, for some reason, they kept them on the burger. Regardless, service was great and they were kind to every person in the restaurant. The size of the burger is slightly larger than those in other burger shops, and the fries were decent. My greatest knock on the place is everything was bland. The burger patty had no seasoning and the fries were just straight potatoes. Yes, I could have doused the burger in sauces, but I dont see why I need to do that to enjoy what im eating. Unless youve been coming here for years and love the feeling of nostalgia, I would say skip this place and try somewhere new.

Coffee shop is in the name, so the coffee is great. Unfortunately the only good thing I had. I've been living in the Dino for 15 years and after reading all the great reviews I decided to bring visiting family here. We should've just went to Cracker Barrel. I'm all about supporting local businesses first, and the restaurant was indeed packed. This place should count their lucky stars for having their loyal regulars. So everyone needs to tell me the best menu items bc everything I tasted wasn't great. It was like mediocre cafeteria food. Sausage links over fried, waffles weren't it, the gravy on the biscuits couldn't even give moisture to the dry biscuits, and the country fried steak? No bueno. I try the country fried steak everywhere I go, and it wasn't good. Open to menu suggestions.

D J Coffee Shop. It's kind of like working out. You don't really want to go but you have to. First off it's in a really seedy part of San Bernardino. It's old and a bit run down. BUT! I will take my friends and family there for breakfast every chance I get. My 2 sons took me there for after Christmas breakfast. I was sure they were pranking me cause they know at my age I don't venture much out of my comfort zone. The shopping center is a throwback to the late 60's early 70's. I can assure you photos of this strip mall from back then look exactly like the place looks now. They assured me I would be ok. We were seated pretty quick and immediately brought a cup of hot black coffee so already things are looking up. The menu is a collection of classic American comfort food. Portions are ample. My ham steak and eggs were absolutely delicious. I devoured that stuff. My son had the country fried steak with an additional side of pancakes. Oh to be young again. My other boy, the ex Marine had the sirloin steak and eggs. Semper Fi indeed. Great crowd fast service excellent food. Don't let the location or lack of 21st Century ambiance deter you. Go to San Bernardino. Preferably during the daytime and have yourself some good old American food. Definitely Recommended.

This is my go-to greasy spoon when I'm in the area. I've eaten here for about 30 years, off and on. Today I had a chili burger and it was very good. The chili was spot on. And the service is what you would expect from a local diner. The servers seem to know everyone. I will continue to come here any time I'm in town.

DJ's Coffee Shop! The atmosphere in this place reminds me of the show Happy Days or Mel's Dinner! All that to the side. This is my most favorite place to go for breakfast and coffee. I have had several things from the menu from breakfast to dinner. Breakfast is my favorite because it starts the day off right. They always start with a nice cup of coffee and the amazing service just continues until I walk out the door. If you are thinking about stopping by there for breakfast, strongly consider having either the French Toast or the Grilled Chicken & Eggs. It comes with hash browns and side order your choice of toast, pancakes, or biscuits and gravy. ALL GOOD!!!!!!! Now I think I will go there tomorrow for breakfast! See ya there!

Fantastic classic diner/coffee shop with great food and generous portions. Top Sirloin steak and eggs at $20 is a steal, steak was two meals in and of itself. As per server Brittany -- who was engaging, attentive and completely awesome -- next time I'm trying the NY steak and eggs at $23. Great place, busy on weekends tho so plan accordingly. Seventeen stars.

We were looking for a restaurant offering comfort food and we found it at DJ's. The menu offers something for everyone and the staff was so welcoming you felt like a regular on your first visit. I had the Hot Roast Beef Sandwich which was as good as any I have ever had and it was a very hearty portion. It's a bit of a drive for us but we will surely be visiting again soon.

My pancakes had a hair cooked into it. Unfortunately, I found out mid bite..... Not a fan of the coffee, tasted very light/watered down. The place doesn't feel clean either.

Honestly, this is a little hole in the wall place. In a strip mall hidden behind a Carl's Jr. and next door to a sketchy looking liquor store. But ignore all that, cause the food is delicious. I've only ever ate breakfast and I would highly recommend, it's comfort food for sure. The service is good. Each time I've walked in someone yells "sit wherever you want" and then they come help. The food is legit, but servings too. It's become a semi-regular place. I'd probably be here more often if I didn't live in Fontana.

DJ's brought back the Brisket on the weekends. Kudos and thank you!! I love so many things about DJ's and the staff but that Brisket is wonderful... I hope it returns as a regular menu item. Try it as a menu item...not just a sandwich!

hole in the walls are always good. But honestly I use to love coming here and now I'm kinda eh about this place. Don't know if I would be coming back. The food is always made fresh and portion size is pretty decent. I use to love their biscuits and Gravy, but they changed the gravy, it's not the same. For some reason when we went everyone was in a bad mood. We ordered the country to fried steak And our waitress was so mad. She was complaining to her other coworker about us and all we asked was to changed the country fried steak because it wasn't cooked all the way. She was just mad the whole time. We asked for more bread, because usually it's unlimited bread and she was like we never did that. It was just a really bad experience.

We went here for the first time after recommendations from a number of friends. Now I know what we've been missing! LOVED the old school vibe and furnishings first of all. Both really spoke to my old boomer's heart. LOL. Cool booths and counter seating and lots of neat stuff and funny signage on the walls to check out. Service was nop notch. Super friendly server, Giovanni, welcomed these first time visitors with an authenticity that is refreshing. We also met the manager, Jennifer, who told us a lot about DJs, its history, and how grateful they are to still be in business after 65 years. Our food was delicious. My wife had a patty melt that was perfect. I had an Ortega Chile cheddar cheese omelette and hashbrowns. Yum! LOVE that they serve breakfast all day. That's definitely a plus! So, needless to say, we will be regulars. It's about a 15 minute drive from Redlands and well worth the trip. Last note: During these weird times that we are living in, it is a relief to be around people who are so upbeat and nice, and to patronize a business that makes people feel relaxed and at home.

We have been coming to DJ's for years. We have never had a meal that was not good. The service is always the best. I love that I can breakfast for dinner. Lori is the best server. She does not miss a beat. So friendly and accommodating. Great job DJ's. You can not go wrong coming here.

DJ's!! What can I say, a great place with friendly service. Of course will always miss the previous owner John Zaharopoulos & his family running the place back in the day. A new family owns it now & it's just as family oriented & delicious. Same great service & food. It's a quaint retro old fashioned coffee shop. I love that. Please keep it original, don't fix what's not broke. Try it out!!

Such friendly easy to talk to staff. Everybody that I've had interactions with there is so friendly and talkative. Makes for a nice vibe. Good food also! The restroom was in disarray. Trash everywhere. Need to follow up on the restroom cleaning a bit more often. But hey, I'm not there for the restroom. Good for. Great staff. Need to get that asada salad on the regular rotation menu.

Disappointed that they got an 82 on recent food grade inspection. Many serious issues like rat vermin, wrong storage tempatures. These things can make people sick. When I saw the B in the window was very disappointed. Won't eat at places with this rating. Sorry

Great coffee shop with fair prices and delicious food. I stopped at DJ's coffee shop one Saturday afternoon after attending a work event near north San Bernardino. I had eaten here more than a decade before once and vaguely remembered that the food was hot and the coffee was decent so I thought, Why not?! I ended up settling in for a cup of coffee, a waffle and some fried chicken. Now to be clear, they don't necessarily serve chicken and waffles as a dish on the menu. I did notice that they served fried chicken and did they serve waffles so I made my own dish I asked for a waffle à la carte and fried chicken à la carte. The result was delicious! The chicken was very crispy! It was GBD for sure (that's golden brown and delicious for the uninitiated)! The waffle was also perfect with lists of warm melting butter and served with warm syrup. The restaurant has been serving patrons for 50 years! The food is good and the prices are fair. My only critique was the service could have been a little better. I had to ask for a menu after 15 minutes of sitting and waiting to be offered a drink. For this I dropped a star off the review. That aside I had a good meal in a comfortable environment (the country music on the pandora station was kind of loud and annoying but you can't please everyone...) for a fair price.

This was a great find! Great service. The food came out quick and was delish. I highly recommend DJs for a yummy breakfast and friendly service.

First off my family and I have been coming here for years , our last 2 experiences were not the best . every Sunday of course is so packed and busy , we went on 06/29/25 and flyes galore were in the restaurant and while we were waiting outside there was a huge feces right in the front . My server this old lady just came in for her shift and was talking about her grandkids saying she was glad to be at work to be away from those kids . She saying this in front of my kids . I ordered a cheese and ham omelet with mushrooms and I forgot to mention to her that I wanted Swiss cheese . Anyways she was so mad that I forgot to mention and she said it's too late , she also forgot got to bring my daughter's order out ! I went back this past week on 07/01/25 and I am a single mom of 4 and I took my mom to eat with me so that's 6 . So apparently they are charging a 20$ service fee now for basically having 6+ people . It unfair and unjust , it's already hard times now you get charged extra just for going out to eat . I'll tell you one thing I will not be eating a D.J.s for a long while . onviously they are not family friendly I get the vibe that they don't want kids in there . Only retired old folks ! mind you I did not get charged the service fee on 06/29/25 only on 07/01/25 . I do not recommend that any family eats here they do not want to serve our children and families just the oldies !

This is what a diner should be like. Nothing fancy to the decor but clean and functional locked in got a comfortable boot and our order was taken in a very timely fashion. The food was absolutely fantastic. We were there for breakfast. I had the New York steak and eggs One of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Nice crispy hashbrowns like I like them egg perfectly done my friend had a pork chop breakfast and the pork chops were wonderful nice and juicy. The pancakes were some of the best I've had in a long time. Nice and fluffy. Would definitely come back here not a fancy breakfast but an absolutely wonderful breakfast.

Every breakfast place calls themselves the local home-cooking diner but this place really is it. They accommodated us (11 people) and every server is extremely "on it". It's a true family vibes, honest local diner where corned beef hash is $10.99 instead of $18.99 for no reason. Short stack pancake side (2 huge pancakes) were just $5.99. It's a true local gem and everybody seems to know it in the neighborhood. Waiter remembered all 7 things we randomly asked for. Biscuits and gravy were delicious.

Consistently good quality comfort food for over50 years. This has been my favorite coffee shop, forever. The restaurant is clean and the service is outstanding and friendly. Love this place. The menu and quality has remained consistent even through ownership changes. It wasn't broken, so no need to fix it. To the ownership, Keep up the good work!

So had a bad experience here that turned out good! We had ordered mimosas and coffee when the power went out! The drinks were given to us on the house! While I was there all the customers I spoke to said the food is excellent. I figured that it was a popular place since there was a small line out the door. The food smelled great and the diner had that old time feel. The employees were all very nice. I will definitely return!
