In Turlock California is the Hot Rod Diner, with there nostalgic food menu item names that are oldies but goodies. It's a small restaurant with limited seating but ample parking out front and in the back area. The prices are fair for Turlock. The service was good for a Monday they forgot to give me my pink lemonade at first. Earlier it was busy and took some patience and time to place and receive my order. I enjoy seeing the classic records and music selection. I ordered the Love me tender item on the menu. I enjoyed eating my delectable breakfast. I highly recommend when you are in Turlock to stop by The Hot Rod Diner either with your friends, family or close ones. See the photos attached to this review.

Just stopped in traveling from Tracy and I must say, I am IMPRESSED! Placed my order for take out 10 minutes up the freeway and it was hot and ready when I got there. Staff was friendly, called me by name, and the food, YUM! Definitely my new spot to try their entire menu and can't wait to come back for dine in. Thank you guys!

We can all agree that this place is very friendly yea I understand that sometimes the staff can be mean but idk everytime I come I always see the same kid he's always super friendly and kind but in the other hand the servers that old lady with glasses is super rude. But last time I came our food was a little cold so the kid asked us if we wanted to microwave it we said that it was fine then the other waitress wasn't the best because we tried calling her a few times but she ignored us but in all that great service they (the kid) lol was very patient and helpful definely coming back!!! And also I would appreciate if you ask your waitresses to be a little more nice and don't call me names in front of my wife thanks!

Went to breakfast on a Monday morning a little after 8:30am. Still had a good crowd but we were seated right away. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and was exactly what I envisioned for biscuits and gravy. A HUGE fluffy biscuit smothered in hot, white, pepper gravy hit the spot. And asked for a side of linguica instead of the sausage or bacon option (definitely worth the upgrade). Our coffee was always full- Hot Rod does not disappoint!

Great food! A little crowded and you have to wait a bit but it's so worth it. Parking a bit tight, but plenty in back. Really one in a few old school diners left that still has that 1950s vibe. Kids loved the delicious shakes. My family and I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Go early or an hour before closing. To get a seat especially if you have a big party. Closes at 3PM.

Great atmosphere. Nothing like waking up to some oldies music and coffee. I recommend the Impala 65 Omelet. It's like a taco truck Carne asada burrito wrapped in egg instead of a tortilla. It's big. Generous portions for the price.
