What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Little Griddle, with one diner singling out the braised brisket eggs benny and two others calling it a go-to. Another diner rates the huevos rancheros very highly, and one commenter notes it tends to stay quiet until later in the morning. On group size, some say the Hawthorne branch can take a party of six though only a couple of spots fit that size, and another worries the small space may be tight for six. One diner says the original Fremont location is very small inside.
