    Surprisingly good food in an iconic diner building. The meatloaf is recommended. Friendly staff, good service and an overall great experience.

    First time to the restaurant. Came from the East bay and had a great dinner with my Mom. Had the lamb chops, calamari and tutto mare with white wine garlic sauce. Had orzo and steamed vegetables on the side. Everything was delicious and on point. Also enjoyed the appetizer- riblets with the sauce on the side- very good!!! Our server was Reimundo, very professional and friendly. He helped us choose items from the menu. Very nice. Thanks!! The only order that was a little lacking, is the tiramisu. It tasted not so fresh and the cream / sponge cake part tasted a little off. Also it tasted really sweet. Besides that, everything was very good. Restaurant is clean internal and external. Looking fwd to visit again!!! Thank you!!🥰

    The many times I've come here, never have I been disappointed. At this point for me, it's one of my top go to spots. There's always a table available, even a couple of times (before the pandemic) when I did have to wait it was no more than 15-20 minutes. The food is absolutely delicious. I've tried nearly everything here, and there's nothing I wouldn't recommend. I especially enjoy their avgolemono soup, their lamb chop entree and NY steak. Their menu is fantastic whether you're looking to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, everything here is delicious. The service is also pretty good, quite attentive, but during very busy times it can be spotty which is nothing against them since there's so many people to attend to. Overall, really great place. They also have a bar, which I haven't checked out but I'm assuming is pretty nice. Boulevard is definitely one of my favorites in the area.

    One of the easiest 5 stars I've given. We came here for Saturday brunch. Everything was great here. The service was fast and the food came out quickly. I had the we got the Moose, eggs Benedict and Swedish lingonberry pancakes. All 3 dishes were fantastic. Large portion sizes and great taste. Will definitely come again.

    Our nephew was visiting from Las Vegas. This was our first time in Daly City ( after living in Norcal for 7 years). This place did not disappoint. No frills inside, but great service, very attentive. When they say "comfort food", they mean it. I had Moms meatloaf, wife and nephew had the 13 oz rib eye steak. Id come back again to try breakfast. Sunset view worth coming for.

    We've been to this restaurant several times and are always pleased with the service and the food. This time, we had the New York steak, which was tender and flavorful, with garlic sautéed spinach, and seasoned crispy french fries. We also had the Tuna Melt on grilled 9-grain bread with jack and cheddar cheese, which is always good, as well as the generous portion of lightly crispy sweet potato fries (for $2 extra), and mixed greens salad with thinly sliced carrots and tangy vinaigrette dressing. The restaurant is bright and streamlined, with a beautiful starburst chandelier, vaulted asymmetrical ceiling, and plenty of seating. The booths are especially comfortable. We enjoy dining at Boulevard Cafe and highly recommend it!

    The food is solid. I haven't had a bad tasting meal here yet. Staff is nice but it seems like they're always understaffed, so servers especially take longer because they have more tables than usual. Servers have always been nice but it does take a little while to order or get the bill. Some of my favorite meals here are the Orzo Alexandra and the Top of the Morning breakfast.

    I come here all the time, usually for their breakfast. Food always comes out absurdly fast and the portions are hugs. They are not exactly reinventing the wheel with their menu (classic diner staples with some Mexican dishes) but it’s always done excellently. The cocktails are amazing as well, they’re very large and strong but don’t taste too boozy. The Moose, the Bananas Foster French Toast, clams and linguine, and the salmon dinner are a must-try!

    I've been to Boulevard a couple of times my family and have never been disappointed by their food. I wouldn't say it is my favorite, but the food isn't bad. Recently came here on Thanksgiving day so I could have lunch with family as we were not planning to gather for dinner. We did make a reservation, so we didn't really have to wait long at all. The restaurant was quite busy so I am pretty glad that we got there early. The menu is honestly pretty extensive and they serve breakfast until 2:00 p.m. I settled on my favorite chicken and waffle. Food comes out rather quickly I think after we ordered the food came out within 15 minutes. For my order of chicken and waffle you get one large waffle and half a bird which includes the breast, thigh, wing, and a leg. The flavor on the chicken was pretty good. The waffle was also quite fluffy. I ended up taking two pieces of chicken and a half the waffle home since it was quite a lot for brunch. Parking can be a little tricky because there are apartment complexes right behind the restaurant.

    Good restaurant. Although I preferred the old menu. And the parking is just terrible. With that said they definitely know how to cook meat. I had the perfect prime rib. The “chicken tortilla soup” was delicious, but they really need to rename it because it’s definitely not a tortilla soup. The Mediterranean chicken was well seasoned and very juicy

    Came here for a graduation celebration. We enjoyed the food here and the atmosphere was nice. Only problem was our server. He seemed really impatient but oh well. My family enjoyed their time and didn’t mind. We got calamari and the coconut shrimp and both were great. We also got to sit in the lounge since we were a large party and that was really nice. Parking is easy and we didn’t have to wait for too long. Overall I’d come back here again.

    We got the turkey club with regular fries and the tuna melt with onion rings. The meal came with free sourdough bread and butter too. Everything I ate was a diner classic, but done very well. Could be pricy if you come for dinner though. I will definitely come again when I want a great diner meal.

    Boulevard Cafe is a nice stop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Good shakes and entrees, the host was kind to go out of his way to set up outdoor seating since we had a dog. The waiter was very attentive and constantly came to check up on us outside. The calamari could be better but enjoyed the chicken piccata and bread pudding.

    Good old fashioned diner food. Breakfast is simple and delicious. We like getting the corned beef hash and the Junior pancake breakfast. There’s a parking lot but it can get crowded. They also take reservations on Yelp
