They always have delicious burgers. I ordered the jalapeño burger and it was a good size and hella good.

Love this place! Sitting here on a warm and sunny morning next to the fountain in the middle of the Fruitvale Village Plaza. Not being on the street, you don't know about this place unless you walk into this Plaza and find it. Terrific breakfast wrap with fresh spinach and avocado layered into the egg and potato, and wrapped in a toasted wheat tortilla. Nice folks, good food at good prices, spacious little restaurant in a sunny Plaza. Coffee's pretty good too! What more do you want, right?

Great food and service. The lady was very nice . Had a family of 9 and we were able to put tables together. Burgers had very fresh veggies. Pancakes were very big. Breakfast burger and wrap were !!

I only order from this place strictly through delivery app like GrubHub, so I've never been there physically so I don't know the ambiance of the place. This place is good, like really good. The crazy pat is that it's affordable too for all the food given. My go-to is always the Breakfast Burger, Pancakes, English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich, and the Breakfast Burrito. Breakfast Burger is absolutely the star of the meal, excellently grilled beef with delicious crispy hash browns on a brioche bun with their special sauce is peak. It's also a large burger too, I'm stuffed every time I enjoy this, usually I cut it in half so I can enjoy the rest of the breakfast. I really love their pancakes and you get a smiley face on it too. Really good texture and the batter is flavored with a slight sweetness so not too much syrup is needed. Absolutely wonderful and one of my favorite places for Pancakes. English Muffin Breakfast sandwich is packed with a lot protein and it's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. Breakfast Burrito is my sister's favorite, filled with all the good stuff. I don't eat it too much but the bites I've had were good. All the food is cooked perfectly and I split it with my family and it'll last us until dinner usually. The orders are usually accurate, I've only ever had one encounter out of my dozen ordering from them where they forgot a set of pancakes, of course GrubHub made it right so no harm no fowl (we didn't have any chicken). But yeah this is easily my go to breakfast place through delivery, since I don't want to get out the house on my days off.

Ordered via DoorDash yesterday. Perfectly decent burger, perfectly decent salad, kind of old-school. A lot of thousand island dressing. I would order again. Reasonably priced.

Extensive menu from breakfast to burgers as stated in the name . Good variety, Very spacious. Even though a small staff the wait is never long . Covid safety procedures in effect and enough space that it never feels like an issue . Amazing counter people who not only remember your order from days ago and are friendly and efficient. Clean and quick . I come here almost daily .

If you're looking for a hearty breakfast with a good variety of menu options, I recommend ordering from Emil's. They have breakfast sandwiches, wraps, omelettes, pancakes, french toast, and the list goes on. I liked that you could choose a vegetarian option (i.e. avocado or spinach) for both the sandwich and wrap, which was exactly what I was looking for. The eggs were cooked nicely, the avocado was fresh, the hash browns were crispy, and the spinach, mushrooms, onion, and tomatoes in the omelette were really good. They didn't over salt anything, so you could season as needed. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was their cheese for some reason. The french toast batter had a hint of cinnamon, which was good, but I usually prefer my toast strictly savory...no powdered sugar, syrup or anything! (I know I'm probably one of the few lol.) Emil's followed the special instructions included with my order, so that was a plus! If I was in the area and craving breakfast, I would come back. As their name suggests, they also have burgers and other sandwiches.

Hey! If you order the Ultimate Breakfast Scramble you better be really hungry. The one I got could feed 2 people. Including hashbrowns and toast, for about $10. Fresh and delicious, at a reasonable price. Located near Fruitvale BART station. And the pancakes have a smiley face!

Like this spot for breakfast. Constantly order deliveries from them. But got quite disappointed lately because we havent gotten smiley face on our pancakes for the last 5 orders. Please bring the smiley face pancakes back!!! Its super essential and necessary to start the day off with a happy face on pancake

Emil's have one of the freshest burger I've ever tasted I've been here a couple of times so far so good I've tried the tuna melt, bacon cheese burger, Oreo milk shake, cheese burger, French fries, curly cheese fries and everything was good too the food might take a while to come out because they only have one person making the food.
