Blueberry pancakes the size of a head and breakfast burritos that can be eaten for breakfast and lunch are only two delicious, homemade meals the chefs at Gaffey Street Diner prepare for their loyal customers.

Taking the 110 South freeway until it ends, this authentic diner featured on the Food Network, is the perfect introduction for visitors of San Pedro.

Open for breakfast and lunch everyday, the menu has a variety of meals to choose from including hand battered chicken fried steak with homemade, buttery mashed potatoes topped with creamy gravy to an open faced chili cheeseburger with fresh grated cheddar cheese and optional onions.

Don’t want lunch? Try the French toast supreme layered with fresh blueberries, strawberries, bananas and topped with whipped cream.

Make room in the refrigerator before making way to the Gaffey Street Diner because unless you plan on splitting the enormous plateful there will be leftovers.

Another tip to avoid waiting 15 minutes for a table or driving in circles looking for a parking spot, arrive early. The diner is on a busy street at the end of a freeway and drivers are constantly zooming by.

Once inside, prepare for constant sounds of silverware clanging, people talking and the aroma of coffee and maple syrup wafting about. The large portions at cheap prices are definitely worth the noise and wait.

The Gaffey Street diner is located on 247 North Gaffey Street, San Pedro.
