Nestled in Cal Poly Pomona, this chic seasonal New American eatery, run by aspiring hospitality students, serves up fresh, farm-to-table cuisine with a stunning view.
"When watery diner eggs won’t do, head to Kellogg’s for guajillo short rib hash, or maybe fried chicken on a biscuit dripping with honey butter. Besides the zhuzhed-up Tex-Mex/Southern dishes sprinkled among the breakfast classics, this Williamsburg diner also serves orange wine and cocktails (and fantastic desserts). It's snazzier than a typical diner, but you won't be out of place in loungewear." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman, sonal shah
"Kellogg’s Diner (open since 1924, reborn in2024) is a chrome-accented spot with dusty rose tables and Tex-Mex tendencies. The Williamsburg institution still serves eggs, but now you can get those eggs over guajillo short rib hash. It still checks the important diner boxes though: open 24 hours, big menu, hefty portions, and—very often—great vibes. Stop by for brunch and eat some fried chicken on a biscuit dripping with honey butter, or come by for a late-night plate of babyback ribs. Always get something sweet from the dessert case." - willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah
"This revamped 24-hour diner is fun for the whole family, especially later at night. Kids sprawl in comfortable beige booths and scribble over Williamsburg landmarks on the paper placements, while people in short shorts and pink cowboy hats sink their teeth into saucy ribs at the bar. Servers keep the energy high, fist-bumping people as they deliver generously loaded plates of chicken and biscuits or a chocolate cake infused with chicory coffee." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman
"Williamsburg’s iconic Kellogg’s Diner is back (though not yet open 24 hours) to fuel another generation of booth conversationalists with pancakes and chocolate egg creams. But now, they’ve gotten a glow-up involving shinier booths and also a little Tex-Mex twang, like fried pickles as crisp as potato chips, or enchiladas in a tangy tomatillo salsa. The prices are fairly reasonable (a burger is $14), and the portions are generous—but make sure you save space for creative desserts, like a passion fruit curd tart with Tajín-sprinkled meringue. Kellogg’s now has more curated shades of pink than your average steak-and-eggs joint, but it’s still a place where you can while away time over heavy oval plates of deeply satisfying food." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, gabe bergado
"Finally, you can once again end the greatest nights of your life eating soup at Kellogg’s Diner, which is open after a nearly one year-long hiatus. The interior of the iconic Williamsburg diner got a facelift, as did the menu, now sprinkled with Tex-Mex spins on diner classics from the former chef at Nura. Think poblano meatloaf, fried pickles with ranch, and desserts like red eye chocolate cake. Once they get their feet under them, the diner will resume 24/7 service." - will hartman
