The first time Erin and I walked in we felt transported to the past. Bert's is truly a 50's diner, jukebox and the smaller jukebox at each table (not working but there is a continuous stream of 50's and early 60's to make up for it).The food is pretty good and my favorites are Bert's Ultimate Burger and BBQ Pork Ribs. Erin loves the Mexican fare. Shakes and crazy good ice cream! Prices are reasonable too.Best to eat in rather than takeout. Aside from our fav Sushi place Burt's is our favorite!

I can write an update for Bert's Diner in or near Elk Grove and keep it at 4 stars because now I can say I've had lunch here. I was driving down Grant Line Road, which serves as a hypotenuse between Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova, and was wanting to get a big platter with an omelette. They stop serving breakfast at 1:00 p.m. and I didn't know that.One could choose from burgers, sandwiches, and other types of platters. I chose Bert's Club sandwich, a double decker, with fries as well as a Coca-Cola products soft drink. The sandwich, together with a generous serving of fries, was very tasty, and even very filling, that I skipped dinner.Not much has changed here and it has been at least a decade since I was last here. The food is very good, the service has an informal friendliness about it, and the prices are fair and fit the context.Bert's sits in a small strip mall off Grant Line Road in Elk Grove that it shares with Fat Mike's Pizza. You wouldn't expect to be driving down this country road, even though there is some encroachment of newer subdivisions, and stumble onto this metallic art deco diner that's a throwback to "American Graffiti" or something similar! I would have never found it.The way I learned of Bert's is because a childhood friend who was Cuban - and still is - was living in the "Grove of Elk" (shortened to the "the Grove," and obviously the butt of a few jokes among us) and liked this place for that occasional bountiful breakfast. I went along and got a kick out of it. Not only that, he told me that his colorful Cuban parents, who lived near him for a while, also liked coming here to eat. His mother, whose collection of cats once reached 11, would refer to Bert's Diner as "Manuel's" because there evidently once was a Hispanic employee by that name with whom she was able to converse. But, then, what would you expect from a lady (rest her soul) who once had 11 cats and, en route to Bert's, would exclaim "Ay, las vacas de Elk Grove!" while surveying what was going on outside the car's windows?Most aspects of people's Memory Lane experiences exhibit a lot of change. On the other hand, Bert's Diner seems to remain a constant.

It's a consistent spot. Food is good not great. The staff is pleasant and helpful. My steak sandwich was delicious. The shakes are superb. The diner ambiance is fun. We came herewith some little people and we all had a great time. They were so entertained by the jukebox. Unfortunately our table side jukebox was busted. Would absolutely repeat in the same situation. We were here often many years ago. It was nice to rediscover this fun place.

The nostalgic atmosphere and friendly service is amazing. The food cannot be beat. Today I had the special...Chile Verde omelet. To die for. If you come ask for Phylilis ....she's my favorite server. Get your Pic taken with her in front of the juke box. It's out on grant road near Sacramento. You gotta go!

Bert's Diner has to be one of my favorite, good ol' reliable diner when I want to get a simple breakfast in the morning. Their pancakes and chicken fried steak are so yummy! With both being massive, such a bang for your buck! They have a really good deal on the weekdays called the "Home Run Special" where you get a choice of protein, one egg, potatoes + toast for under $5. Service is usually good, whether you're eating in or taking out. Plus who can resist a car diner?

Great diner that takes you back in time! Food is delish, service is fast and friendly and you will leave stuffed! Love the atmosphere as well, they still keep it very retro with the jukebox and you can still play songs from your table! They also have an outdoor patio as well. I was craving breakfast and splurged with the chicken fried steak breakfast with hash browns. Hubby had lunch and opted for the mushroom burger with fries. The chicken fried steak was epic, cooked perfect and huge! Hubby loved his mushroom burger and satisfied his craving for a good burger. I saw that they have some great specials on Fridays and Sundays so I will need to return soon!

The great breakfast hunt brought us to the eastern edge of Elk Grove the other day. Bert's Diner is such a fun place to hang out. It has a wonderful kitschy diner vibe complete with your own personal juke box on the tables. The space was spotless and there is plenty of parking. The menu has all of the breakfast staples along with some daily specials available. We opted for the eggs Benedict off the menu and the chile verde breakfast special. Both were more than generous in size and absolutely delicious!! $40 for breakfast for 2 is pretty normal in California, but Bert's made the pricing a little more palatable. The Benedict came with two very large slices of ham and a generous amount of hollandaise. Service was friendly and efficient. The food came out super fast and we noticed there were plenty of regulars in for their Bert's fix. Give them a try if you happen to be in the area.

Another great experience at Bert's, first time for breakfast. I ordered the ham and cheese omelette, possibly called Old Faithful. Comes with hash browns or country potatoes, has browns please, rye toast with extra butter on the side plus Diet Coke (or Pepsi). Ordered arrived as requested, plate super hot, tons of melting cheese on top, hash browns a little extra crispy per my request and toast with extra butter. Generous cheese, fresh ham in omelette. Refilled my drink. Excellent breakfast, lots of menu options and I will go back to this place. Customer service was good. Thank you Taylor.Funky ambience, old diner, nostalgic.Breakfast available u til 1:00pm.
