Offering classic American diner fare, this restaurant is a favorite for an inexpensive Sunday breakfast with the family. With plastic coverings on the table and hearty burgers, big slabs of apple pie and bottomless cups of coffee on the menu, it keeps homesick American expats coming back for more.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of diner cuisine, but every once in a while, when home sickness creeps in, this place hits the spot. Diner coffee, sugar, milk, toast, butter, eggs. Yum. The perfect fix for homesickness.

One of the great mysteries of BJ is how this place can continue to rate favorably—let alone in the top 10 places to dine. Hello CW—have you ever heard of ballot stuffing?
This place is uncomfortable, not particularly clean, new wait staff are perpetually in training, and the menu lacks a single creative assembly. If eggs fried in vegetable oil, served with convenience-store toast & sausage rounded off with artificial maple syrup are your thing—then you may like this dive.
Grandma’s Kitchen, Café Taipan, and Peter’s TexMex are on the same block and are way better.
The only thing “American” about this dive is the poor nutritional content of the food and the influx of American who are duped by their advertising and ratings. Chinese staff, Chinese wife’s owner patrolling the joint, Chinese allocation of napkins—even the effigy of Paul looks decidedly un-American (without the words you would guess that it is a Middle Eastern restaurant. No normal Americans would shamelessly use their picture in their pervasive advertising).
Their motto should be: Come for the hyperbole and false advertising—never go back because of the food and service.

Poor service, disgusting and oily food. Not for me anymore, thanks!

The first time my husband and I went the first thing we noticed was that it felt like we were back home in a small diner. The eggs benedict is very good! A bagel substitutes the usual english muffin which I liked. It stood up to the sauce and egg yolks and didn't becoming soggy. The hollandise sauce was tasty and not too heavy. Any place that has hot sauce right next to the ketchup on all the tables gets points from me! Not as fast as back home but what's the rush anyways?

Two things I always go back for: the Chocolate Chip Pancakes and the Roast Beef Sandwich. Good ol' comfort food. Especially that chocolate chip pancake. Seriously. If you have a sweet tooth like me, order a plate of those and top it off with some syrup. mmmmm....

I think the place is quite fair for the price and the portion they're serving. Good diners experience and food is quite tasty actually.

I never understood the hype around this place. It's interior is unpleasing to the eye. Food comes in huge quantity, but hey what does quantity help if the quality is so so at the most. A place to avoid. IMHO, go to grandma's kitchen instead.

When I first came here a number of years ago, it was great. The ole-fashioned diner decor was right on the mark, from the waitstaff's attire to the plain paper menus on display underneath the plastic table coverings. I would always order the standard two eggs over easy with home fries and sausage, along with a bottomless coffee, and despite having to constantly urge the waitress to refill my coffee mug to the brim, I was more or less a happy camper.
Now, along with a reevaluation of the diner's evidently declining quality by our city's esteemed publications, I would argue that the restaurant also warrants a change in name -- perhaps Sino-American Steak & Eggs? When I came back a couple weeks ago, sporting a mighty hangover that only a hearty American breakfast could cure, I was immediately disappointed to find that the old style menus were gone, and as I sat down, a waitress clad in solemn black handed me a thick black leather tome of a menu embossed with Chinese, exactly the mass-produced kind you'd expect to find in any hole-in-the-wall Hunan restaurant. While the offerings hadn't seem to have changed, my friend's English Breakfast tea was conspicuously served in an intricate porcelain teapot, along with a little cup from which he could only but sip daintily. My toast could have easily been bought from the local Quik-Mart, and while the buttermilk biscuits were palatable, they gave the distinct impression of having been baked partly in a microwave.
It seems likely that the American management's indolence should soon have Steak & Eggs going the way of Brown's Pub. If only they would start holding wet t-shirt contests, the sooner we could be rid of this overrated celebration of mediocrity.

I couldn't agree more with JR. Steak n' Eggs should slip into oblivion. The food used to be carefully prepared using fresh ingredients. Service was friendly. Now, I get the feeling that customers are treated like hungry cattle, rather than diners. That said, their pies are still pretty good. Recently, I heard that the owner coerces the English magazines to give him awards for his restaurant. True or not, it's just one more bad review for this previously great American diner. Hint: try Chef Too.

Really great milkshakes and exactly what you want from an American diner. The waitresses were always at hand and made sure my coffee was never empty. Good comfort food. You'd be wrong to go expecting more.

Just another American style dinner. Nothing special there, average food in a not very comfortable environment. The burger and omelet was ok, the salad drowned in dressing. The service was very friendly though

great! oily, unhealthy, American style... Loved their breakfast, something hard to find in Beijing, so much better than that of the grandma place....

one of my fave place to have breakfast or more likely brunch in beijing. food is ok. i usually order jumbo breakfast or their pancake. i can make one like theirs too, but its just nice to go out and let someone else make it for you. especially when ure having a hangover from last nite. service sometimes good, sometimes are just ugh.. driving me crazy. but yea i will go over there again to cure my hangover next time.

The first time I walked in here, I was amazed at the feeling I had of walking right into a typical diner in north America, typical customers and Top-40 soundtrack included. These days I am starting to fall out of infatuation, a bit. Sure, the "bottomless" coffee cups are nice, but they are only filled half way each time. The food is very typically north American, and usually tasty, though the last couple of times I was there the tuna fish sandwich was too gloppy and mayonaise-y.
