Gilman Grill, Berkeley

A solid 4 stars. I recently moved to Emeryville and ran (jogged) by Gilman Grill many times and it always seemed populated during their open business hours . . . so I wanted to give it a try. Had breakfast there last weekend and the overall experience was positive. The food was good (I recommend trying their homemade sausage . . . quite yummy), portions were consistent with their costs, the service very pleasant and helpful, the noise level was comfortable, table spacing generous (didn't feel packed in), plenty of parking, and a very casual atmosphere. I recommend it and lookin' forward to going back to the Gilman Grill again.

this was the cutest place ever! there is plenty of parking and its really a family lil diner. overall fast and cute. the experience was very nice, and the service was very quick. It tends to get busy on weekends so try and call ahead.

This place looks like a dive, but inside it's good food. The scones and muffins are wonderful, along with their special breakfast menu items. All dishes are cooked to order. They also have egg whites for the lower cholesterol variations of their dishes. It gets rather noisy inside, but it adds to the flavor of the place. Amtrak runs close to the restaurant, so you'll want to reserve your voice until it passes.
