Cindy's Restaurant

Davis is seriously lacking in diners, especially for a college town.  The black bear downtown is pretty nasty.  My coworker who went to Davis for undergrad took me here for lunch.

So the bad parts about this place is the location which is kinda far from downtown/campus, and maybe the decor if you care about decor in a diner(read:you shouldn't, dummy =)

Anyway, the good parts about this place is the food, price, and service, which is what you want in a diner.  I've had the country breakfast(biscuits and gravy), the skillets and the omelets and they're all solid.  Nothing crazy, but they do the little things right, like sear the home fries so they're crispy, bring tasty salsa with everything without asking, don't skimp on bacon/chorizo/tasty portion of the dish, etc.  I've only had Thai there once so I can only say the pad see ewe is good, but most of the people who I've spoken to about the thai food really like it.  On top of that the owner is really friendly which is nice.

There's also a tv and there were a couple guys in there catching the game, just an fyi.

So overall, if you're looking for a diner in Davis this place is definitely the best of all your options, it's really just a solid diner, nothing crazy.  I would like it if they were open 24/7 though.

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy... what is Marcia to do?
This sweet little 'old school restaurant was a fixture in South Davis. Then the owners changed and along with the great American breakfasts came Thai dinners. Food is good, easy on and off the freeway and not a bad place to get a meal. Breakfast on the weekends can be crowded, dinners anytime...not too crowded.

Slow service, errors in orders and on the bill.  Also, the music doesn't match the atmosphere.  At least the parking was easy.

Wouldn't come back unless with friends.
