My husband and I went for a night out and were very pleased with the food it was delish! The salad was huge and oh so good too. The prices are a bit higher than I would have thought but it was worth it and we had a great time. We even took some of their free post cards and sent them to family telling them to try it :) It was like a mini vacation.

the food at atmosphere

the price and the service was so so

Regular visitor. Great atmosphere, and great comfort food. Love the large portions. Everyone is very nice, and helpful to tourist.

broiled chicken burger

The food is standard diner fare but the big attraction is the ambiance. Lots of interesting stuff to look at on the walls.

The 101 serves large portions of really crummy food with some pretty lackluster service. I've been there numerous times (yeah, I don't know why either) and each time I'm disappointed with the quality of the meal. The only positive about the place is the old-school diner ambiance and some of the photos of old Oceanside.

Avoid if at all possible.

Some cool old photos on the walls

The food and service

THE FOOD!

Don't get me wrong, the food tastes great... But I've been here 5 times and 4 times did not get what I ordered. The straw that broke the camel's back was getting a real hamburger instead of a veggie burger.

the enormous caesar salad they brought me

every other time I went they screwed up my order
