Welcoming and comforting spot that has a diverse selection of brunch/lunch options. Prices were decent, and portions were huge. Besides the English muffins being a little soggy for the Benedict, everything else was good. The Benedict and Omelette came with a good balance of veggies and proteins, and the French toast was perfect.

I used to come to this place when I was going to college. Definitely decorated differently inside than it was before. The service was friendly. I went in the morning and just picked up a sandwich to go. Took over 20 minutes for me to get the sandwich which is a pretty long time considering there wasn't anybody else waiting. Might come back and try other things on the menu if I'm in the area.

Peanuts has been a tradition for me long before I knew I was a foodie, when I was just a college student looking for the cheapest meal and drink.... Just recently i started frequenting peanuts again and I tried their korean fried chicken and chicken teriyaki. Great portions and solid ingredients. Perfect for a quick lunch. During the pandemic peanuts closed and renovated... it looks so great and modern inside now! I'm so happy they kept the sorority and fraternity paddles. I'm happy to keep supporting them because they are a critical part of San Jose culture. whether you are there to drink some beer or fill your tummy with a hearty breakfast, you will always get great prices, portions and customer service. Love the new remodel and miss Minh.

Been coming here for years since I used to live nearby but ever since moving out of state wish I had a place like peanuts in my neighborhood! It's been a while since I visited and wow the renovation looks awesome!!! Don't sleep on their breakfast!! Honestly it's my favorite thing here but their other dishes are good too. For breakfast I like their burritos, pancakes, and omelettes. You can't go wrong with any of those! They also started making country potatoes and wow they were huge! Hash browns are a classic choice too. The owner is always very friendly and service is always great. It's an awesome place to go if you want a hearty breakfast especially if you don't want to wait! Plenty of seating and you won't be disappointed!

Remodel and a facelift?!?! Not going to lie, I was concerned when I found out Peanuts was remodeling. The old dining room and decor scream nostalgia and bring back nothing but great memories of my college days.My concerns was laid to rest quickly! When I visited, I found myself recalling "where things used to be" and their old layout. No more random tables all over the place, it's an open dining area with bar stool seating, larger tables, and some booths against the wall. They still have large TVs and the jukebox...most importantly, they kept many of the old vintage fraternity signs on the walls! (I will miss the random Budweiser posters though lol)No more ordering direct from the cooks and having them scribble a ticket that one and only Myun can decipher! You order directly at the counter and can now pay with card. Menu is still largely the same. The old brown board is gone (they have actual menus now) and they added tons of new dishes. Breakfast served all day, sandwiches, burgers, and rice plates. Of course - beer as well! They no longer serve my old favorite though...the "beef teriyaki with rice & fries". During my gym days, that was my ultimate carb up meal! Prices have gone up too throughout the year but hey that's everywhere! It's still a very affordable place. Portions are large and you'll be hard pressed to find better value around campus!I literally made it through college because Peanuts kept me fed for pennies and dollars throughout the years. Will forever be grateful!Final Piece of Donovan Life Advice? I will always bus my own table when I eat here...OG Peanuts Customer!

Nice smallPlz e on the campus of San Jose State University. My wife had a veggie omelette and I had a breakfast sandwich with sausage egg cheese and potatoes. Order at the register and they bring the food to you, the food is freshly made and very tasty.

I am an SJSU student, and this place does the job with keeping a guy like me stuffed with food. They recently did a remodel and the place looks awesome. Highly recommend checking the place out to get some food and a beer. Today I got the avocado toast. SUPPORT LOCAL

The 5 stars is for 3 of the of the diced onions which escaped from the veggie omlette and grilled with the bottoms of the eggs. Each one of the 3 onion cubes became a flavor-bomb after caramelizing off the oil and golden eggs. Also helping was that the grill here seemed to be well-cured.The marbilized cheese oozed out from between the eggs and greens, like lava out of the Kilauea volcano - more like mild American cheese and less like the smoked gouda from Safeway.The hash browns were creamy with butter blended into the moist mix; like the insides of a samosa. The toasty bread wedges would go well dipped into one of the specialized pancake syrups picked up beforehand from the downtown Grocery Outlet one block to the north.

They have fresh orange juice available on the menu but they really don't. I'm not sure if it's a seasonal thing but Atleast I got my packaged one. Food was tasty and well cooked. Place was nice and quiet. Online ordering system was glitching so I had to go up to the register but that was no big deal. Some items weren't available online but I asked and they were.
