This 24 hour diner is a cozy, warm and welcoming diner. The diner has some of the nicest, most friendly waitresses we've ever met. The restaurant has long list of hamburgers, salads, soups, sandwiches and fried baskets. We absolutely loved their chicken sandwich, grilled ham n cheese and foot long chili dog. The diner also has a huge selection of hand made desserts. This was a great local diner with awesome food, friendly service and reasonable prices.

We ordered food to-go and brought it back to my son's dorm. My son did suggest this spot since he and my husband like milk shakes. Place is right off the 101, has plenty of parking and they get a lot of locals picking up orders they called-in in advance. We ordered a vanilla and a chocolate shake, a baked chicken sandwich, a club sandwich, 2 bowls of vegetable soup, and a blue cheese burger. Oh and a chocolate cake. The shakes were really good. They are known for their deserts, shakes and burgers. I loved my baked chicken sandwich and my vegetable soup. Everyone liked their food actually. My son lives on campus at CSUH so he knows what he likes. We didn't eat inside. They ran out of vegetable soup around 7:30-8pm so we only got one bowl of it. But it was yummy. If I'm in the area again, I'll go back. And they really are open 25hrs. They had a lot of desserts ready to go. My son says all their deserts are fantastic. I loved the chocolate cake.

Overall, a pretty good meal with a couple of hiccups. This place came highly recommended from my brother, so I decided to come in for lunch. It was Sunday at lunchtime, so they were pretty busy. I decided to go for the fish and shrimp basket with tots instead of fries, and a small German chocolate milkshake. The milkshake was amazing! Thick, rich, you could easily taste both the chocolate and the caramel. The only problem was, they brought the shake to my table right away. By the time my food got there 30 minutes later because they were so busy, the shake was gone. Next time I will just ask them to bring the shake with my meal. The fish and tots came first, and then I had to ask where my shrimp was. he apologized, and brought it separately. There was a lot of food! The shrimp and the tots were very good. The fish, was not so successful. Once I asked, he brought it very quickly. The fish itself was delicious. The only problem was, it was over breaded, and the breading was very greasy. I could literally see the oil just coming off the fish. Next time, I will just not order the fish. The portion was huge, and I had plenty of the shrimp and tots to bring home with me for another meal. Overall, a good meal. The price was a little bit on the higher end, but very reasonable for what I got. I will come back and try more things. Thank you. UPDATE: I came back a day or two later. This time, off the 24 hour breakfast menu, I decided to try the chicken fried steak. This time, it was a total home run! The steak was tender, delicious, and not over breaded or greasy at all. The sausage gravy was creamy and rich, the tots were great again, and this time I had the cherry chocolate chip shake. Once again, the shake was amazing. This place is known for their shakes. The person at the cash register told me that normally they bring the shake out right away, unless you ask for it to be brought with your meal, which I did. I will remember that from now on. Again, I had enough of my meal to bring home for a second meal. I will be back again. Thank you.

If you are ever hungry for deep fried tender and juicy Chicken Fried Steak smothered in bacon fat homemade gravy and plentiful hash brown to clog up the remaining coronary arteries, then avoid the morning crowd and join me at the wee hours of midnight for a large breakfast menu item with toasted wheat bread and strawberry jam to go with it. You are welcome to order anything off the menu up front counter and stoic and tired waitress will take your order and get paid before the friendly cook will come out with your hot dish calling out your name with thick Puerto Vallarta accented English with enthusiasm not seen in Arcata or anywhere else in this Zombie infested state. The ambience is typical American diner with few customers eating huge portions with gusto and quiet atmosphere and infinite refill of old thick black coffee keeps getting refilled until your caffeine meter hits 95 mph. The hot sauce offered on the table is limited to two types of Tabasco. For $16 it's a dang good bargain for richly deserving all American cholesterol breakfast that no other Franchises can ever come close.

In addition to scrumptious food, friendly and helpful staff, and being open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, the best thing about Toni's is the consistency. For example, if you had biscuits and gravy that were fresh, tasty, plentiful and attractive on, say, Sunday afternoon, you're going to experience the same if you order it two weeks later, early on a Tuesday morning. That's right, breakfast - the most important meal - can be ordered anytime. The salads are to die for. Whether it's a club salad, a Cobb (my husband's choice), apple walnut chicken (my personal favorite) or the garden salad, you're going to get an abundance of very fresh, beautiful vegetables with what tastes like house-made dressing (?). Burgers are good sized and very delectable. I also appreciate the effort to which the staff look out for us - my grandson has a significant egg allergy. When I mentioned this to the person taking my order, he said that they take food allergies very seriously and went on to explain that they would clean the grill before they made his grilled cheese to make certain there was not even any egg residue. He also read off all of the bread ingredients to me to make sure I felt confident that there were no eggs hiding in any other ingredients. I mean, this was so comforting to us. I don't want you to have to Epi-pen the little guy and so he seldomly eats anything outside of the house, but this was a completely beyond any response from other restaurants. Thank you to Toni's owner, management and to the staff for recognizing the seriousness of food allergies!
