Roxy's Diner

Roxy's Diner is a "dive" restaurant in downtown Fremont at Dayton Ave N and N 36th St.

She said:
We've been here before and we'll come again. Why? Because they have very good food at a very reasonable price. Roxy's is an establishment in Fremont. There is always a line (for breakfast) and you would be hard-pressed to find a Fremont resident who hasn't eaten here.

We went on Mother's Day (without any mothers in tow) and they were featuring a Mother's Day brunch menu. Moms could eat anything off this menu for $5 and they had some kickin' drink deals (think $2 strawberry mimosas). We did not qualify for a $5 breakfast but that was okay. I got an EOB (egg on bagel) sandwich on an asiago cheese bagel with lox. YUM, YUM, YUM! And I got a bowl of fruit. Not so yum. The fruit was okay, but it was clearly cut up the night before or early that morning, put into the bowl, and put into the fridge. By the time it got to me, the entire bottom half of the bowl was filled with the fruit's run-off water. Gross. So I removed all of the fruit from the bowl and "strained" it. Then I put it on my plate. The fruit was extremely cold (from having been refrigerated I assume) and all the flavors had sort of run together. I wasn't pleased.

However, my bagel was scrumptious and the coffee was very tasty. Our service was superb and we were seated right away. This is definitely a place to go if you want a cheap, good breakfast. B+.

He said: I don't know why Michelle called this a "dive" anything. Its just a brunchy kind of diner. It is well painted with huge murals both inside and out, and it catch phrase is "Real east coast on the west coast." To me, eggs don't taste different according to the closest ocean. No matter, they've got decent bacon and decent coffee, which is really what I'm after at 10:30 am on a Sunday. We sat at the bar, which was a little awkward because it had a lip on the edge that prevented having your plate under you while you ate, but sitting at the bar did prevent us from having to wait for a table. Every single person on the wait staff had multiple tattoos and piercings, I think it may have been a requirement to work there. Not my favorite place, but certainly up there on the list. B+.
