Hot Rod Diner - Ceres

The service at the restaurant was fantastic, with a few delicious menu items that were both hot and beautifully presented. The gravy was one of the best I've ever tasted. Additionally, the restaurant has a large parking lot and the ambiance of the place is stunning.

We had the WORST experience this last Saturday on February 26th! We got there at 9:30pm and they close at 10:00pm. We've been there around this time before and never had an issue mind you. Anyway, when we walked in and sat down one of the two waitresses looked at her watch then looked at us and gave us the rudest look. The other waitress then walked over to our table and we asked if it was okay that we were there since her other employee seemed mad and she told us yes, as long as we order in the next 5-10 minutes. We ordered and ate pretty fast, then as we were leaving the one girl who gave us the mean stare was at the front counter so I told her she should probably not make customers feel so uncomfortable by giving such mean looks and if they weren't wanting customers then she should go about it in a more professional and respectful way. She then decided to give me the WORST attitude EVER! She was extremely rude and when I asked for her name and the manager she refused. I walked to the bar area to try to find out her name and she yelled out to security to kick me out. Not one employee would tell me her name and I ended up having the bar tender lady go off on me too because she wanted to stick up for her friend. They tried belittling me in front of my children and would not stop with their extremely rude attitudes. We have been going to Hot Rod Diner for quite a while and NEVER have I experienced such a horrible interaction. I have always loved the waitresses at this place but there have been a lot of new employees and I will not be coming back after this. It's extremely disappointing because my kids loved this restaurant. I wish I could tell you what waitresses to steer clear from but they refused to give me their names. They are both petite young girls with dark black hair. One works in the restaurant and one in the bar. The one in the restaurant was the main one with the attitude. She should not have a job after treating customers like that in my opinion. I've worked in restaurants for many years and I was just horrified how she reacted. I would have been fired if I had ever spoke that way to customers!

Friendly staff clean environment portion sizes are above huge and good. Going back to try there dinners. I'd recommend this place.

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. For vegetarians, they offer options like egg white omelette and vegetarian omelette.

The food was excellent, but I was disappointed to see a $5 charge for a soda on the bill. Additionally, I did not receive a refill. Because of this, I will not be returning to the restaurant.
