Reviews
and about 1,025 of them are five stars, not a rating earned once and left alone. Regulars keep coming back for the all-day breakfast, the brunch plates, the size of the lunch menu, the coffee, the same neighborhood diner since 1987, and a kitchen that never closes between meals, and every review below is real, unedited, and pulled straight from Google.

Good food, good people, good prices, good vibes. This place has been around for a long time and has been a go to diner for me since my childhood. Honestly a local gem of a diner. Gotta try this place if you're in the area.
Yanet
The best service and food better than any fast food out there.
Jeanne and Karl Taylor
Great food, super service and damn good prices for the food you get. Who care about atmosphere when you have all the aforementioned. Get to a Harry's and make your tummy, mind and soul happy today.
Restaurant
Harry's Cafe runs three kitchens out of one building on Katella Avenue: American breakfast and burgers, Mexican favorites like carne asada and fish tacos, and Greek gyros and kebobs, paired with hash browns nowhere else in Stanton. At this Harry's Cafe location on Katella Avenue in Stanton, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch are all available at any hour, not tied to a specific time slot, 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM, seven days a week, through the drive-thru or at a table, so a table of four can order a Denver omelette, a cheeseburger, and a carne asada plate at once, without anyone settling for what the group agrees on.

Menu
Breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, all served all day, every day: 232 items across American diner classics, Mexican carne asada burritos and fish tacos, and Greek gyros and kebobs, all from one kitchen in Stanton, CA. That much variety inside three full cuisines is rare anywhere nearby. Every category below links to the prices in the room, not a sample.
Thirteen egg plates, three eggs any style with home fries or hash browns, toast, and jelly, from a $7.99 basic plate up to a T-bone steak and eggs at $18.99. Carne asada, pastrami, chorizo, or machaca and eggs bring Mexican breakfast onto the same short list as the classics. Every plate is served all day, from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
The brunch menu at Harry’s Cafe in Stanton serves 13 egg plates, 15 breakfast specials, and 19 omelettes, next to burgers, Mexican Favorites, fresh sandwiches, and kebobs. A Denver omelette is $13.99, a Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger is $9.99, and a Gyro is $9.99. Every item is on the menu from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM, seven days a week.
Fifteen burgers, from a $3.49 junior to the loaded Harry’s Burger Specialty, over twenty fresh sandwiches including a Philly cheesesteak and a gyro, hot dogs, and combo meals with a choice of side and a soda. Carne asada plates, quesadillas, and a torta round out the Mexican side, and a Greek chicken kebob plate sits on the same lunch menu.
Rib eye and T-bone steaks, a full pound of chicken breast, BBQ ribs, pork chops, and a full Broasted Chicken, four pieces, every plate served with soup, salad, a roll, and a choice of side, right up until 11:00 PM, not cut off early like most places nearby. The full T-Bone Steak dinner runs $19.99, soup, salad, a roll, and a side all included in that one price.
Fifteen burger builds, from a $3.49 junior patty up to the loaded Harry’s Burger Specialty at $11.99. Every one comes with lettuce and tomato plus onions and pickles, dressed with 1000 dressing. Burgers are one of the things Google reviewers mention most, ahead of fried zucchini and onion rings. A hamburger combo with fries and a drink is $10.99.
Twenty-three sandwiches: a patty melt, a tuna melt, a bacon turkey melt on sourdough, a Philly cheesesteak, a Swiss melt pastrami, a B.L.T. with avocado, plus the simple list too, ham, turkey, tuna, club, from a $4.99 grilled cheese up to a $13.99 Swiss melt pastrami. Every sandwich is made fresh per order, nothing sitting under a heat lamp.
Tacos and burritos, quesadillas and taquitos, tortas and nachos, plus a California burrito loaded with fries. Chili size, chili bowl, and chili beans give the chili three ways to order, and chips and salsa or cheese nachos round out the list. Nineteen options, from a $3.99 taquito up to a $13.99 loaded burrito.
Gyros, a Greek salad, a Greek chicken salad, one of the Greek items Google reviewers mention most often, and chicken or beef kebobs served with soup, a Greek-style salad, rice, and pita bread, off the same grill as the burgers and the carne asada. Harry's Cafe is one of the few restaurants in Stanton serving Greek kebobs, next to an all-day breakfast menu, and trying it here costs nothing extra.
Three kebob plates, Beef Kebob, Chicken Kebob, and Greek Style Chicken, each $14.99, served with soup, a Greek-style salad, rice, and pita bread built into the price. A full plate off the same grill as the burgers and the carne asada, not a separate kitchen or a slower ticket for the Greek side of the menu.
Horchata, tamarindo, Orange Bang, and jamaica alongside coffee, hot tea, and hot chocolate, plus milkshakes, root beer floats, and sundaes in chocolate, strawberry, or pineapple. Kids split a sundae or a milkshake easily, one more reason families end up here often. The drink counter runs the same hours the rest of the menu does, very early to very late, every day of the week.
For kids under 12: a hamburger, hot dog, corn dog, grilled cheese, or chicken strips with small fries, or spaghetti, each $6.99 with a soda already included in the price. High chairs are in the room, and every kids' plate is served from the 5:30 AM open to the 11:00 PM close.
Two choices for kids under 12: a pancake or French toast, each with one egg and a choice of bacon or sausage, both $6.99. With the six plates on the kids' menu, Harry's Cafe carries eight kids' plates in all, every one $6.99, served from the 5:30 AM open to the 11:00 PM close.
Fourteen breakfast burritos start with eggs, hash browns, and cheese and run from an Egg Burrito at $7.99 to Pastrami & Eggs at $15.99. Harry’s Burrito at $11.49 holds three meats, bacon, sausage, and ham. Machaca, asada, and chorizo bring Mexican breakfast onto the list, and any burrito can be made wet for $4.49 more.
Nine breakfast sandwiches run from an Egg Sandwich at $6.99 to Steak & Eggs at $13.99, and five cost $8.99, with bacon or sausage, ham, Polish sausage, a hamburger patty, or chorizo. Turkey and chicken breast are on the list too. The kitchen serves them from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM, and the drive-thru keeps the same hours.
Nineteen omelettes run from a Plain Omelette at $7.99 to Pastrami & Cheese and Steak & Cheese at $16.99, and every one comes with home fries or hash browns, toast, and jelly. Six sit at $11.99, including Ham & Cheese and Chorizo & Cheese. Harry’s Cafe serves the Vegetable & Cheese omelette as a vegetarian option.
Fifteen set plates run from Oatmeal at $4.99 to Rib Eye Steak & Eggs at $15.99. Huevos Rancheros at $10.99 and Green or Red Chilaquiles at $12.99 sit beside Biscuits & Gravy at $7.49, and a Breakfast Club at $14.99 holds three eggs, hash browns, 2 pieces of pancakes, and ham with bacon or sausage. All substitutions cost extra.
Toast is $2.49, avocado is $3.29, cottage cheese is $5.99, and pit ham is $6.99 on the breakfast sides menu at Harry's Cafe in Stanton. A side of gravy comes small at $4.49 or large at $5.99, and steak sides start at $11.99. Ten sides, ordered on their own or added to a plate, any hour the kitchen is open.
Pancakes and French toast on their own, with or without eggs: three pancakes for $6.99 or with eggs added for $8.99, six triangles of French toast for $7.99 or with eggs added for $9.49. A short, simple list for anyone who wants the griddle without the full breakfast plate around it.
Three hot dogs: a plain hot dog or a corn dog at $3.99, or a chili dog at $4.99, and any of the three as a combo with fries and a drink for $5.89. A quick order off the same grill line that builds the burgers, served from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
Eleven sides beyond a plain order of fries: onion rings, fried zucchini, fried mushrooms, and sweet potatoes on the lighter end, Carne Asada Fries and Chili Cheese Pastrami Fries loaded enough to share on the other. Hot Wings with Fries run $12.99, and Harry's Style French Fries, the kitchen's own loaded version, run $8.99.
Ten combo plates, every one served with a choice of fries, onion rings, or zucchini, plus a soda, from a $10.99 Hamburger Combo up to a $17.99 Pastrami Sandwich Combo. A half sandwich with soup or salad runs $9.99, choice of ham, turkey, or tuna, with a 16 oz drink included.
Thirteen Mexican plates, every one served with rice and beans and cooked the traditional Mexican way, the way it's eaten locally. A Carne Asada Plate, fajitas, enchiladas, and a torta all run $13.49 to $13.99, roughly the same as three a la carte tacos at $4.69 each on the Mexican menu, but plated as a full sit-down meal with rice and beans already included.
Six seafood plates, cod, catfish, salmon, tilapia, and shrimp two ways, each with a choice of side, french fries, baked potato, mashed potato, or rice, the same side choice as the steaks and chops. Prices run $12.99 to $14.99, the same plated dinner pricing as ordering steak or chops instead of fish.
Nine salads, from a $6.49 green salad up to a Chicken Caesar Salad at $14.49, with a choice of seven dressings, Thousand Island, Ranch, Blue Cheese, Italian, French, Greek, or Honey Mustard. A Chef's Salad, Tuna Salad, Chicken Salad, and Shrimp Salad all run $11.99, and a Greek Chicken Salad tops the regular Greek Salad at $13.99.
Three diet plates for anyone watching what a full dinner side adds up to: a chicken breast or hamburger patty at $11.99, or a rib eye steak at $14.99, each served with a side of diet plate accompaniments. A green salad off the salad menu pairs easily with any of the three for a vegetable side instead.
A bowl of Vegetable Beef Soup, made in-house with beef and mixed vegetables, $5.49, plus a rotating soup of the day worth asking about when it's not vegetable beef on the stove that day. Every dinner plate on the full dinners menu already comes with a bowl of soup built into the price.
Three ways to order spaghetti: a la carte for $9.99, a full dinner with salad and garlic bread for $11.99, or with meat balls added for $13.99. A smaller-ticket option next to the full steak and seafood dinners, same kitchen, same night. The kids' menu also carries a smaller spaghetti and fries plate at $6.99 for anyone under twelve.
Five desserts to close out a plate: carrot cake, cheese cake, and baklava at $4.69 each, an ice cream cone for $3.99, or a full banana split for $6.49. Baklava sits right next to the carrot cake, a Greek dessert on the same menu as the American classics, served until 11:00 PM.

Featured Offers
Five things that are always true here, not a limited-time promotion. Breakfast runs the full menu from the 5:30 AM opening to the 11:00 PM close, every combo comes with a choice of side, kids under twelve eat a full plate for $6.99, catering mixes breakfast, Mexican, and Greek plates on one order, and the drive-thru carries that same full menu any hour the doors are open.
Breakfast all day
Every breakfast plate on the menu stays on the menu from the 5:30 AM opening straight through to the 11:00 PM close, seven days a week, with no separate breakfast-only cutoff. Eggs any style, omelettes, breakfast burritos, and pancakes or French toast are all still available for a late dinner, not just the morning rush. Starting prices are low and portions run generous, value for anyone eating on a schedule that does not match a normal breakfast hour.
View Menu
Combo meals
Any combo comes with fries, onion rings, or fried zucchini, and a soda, a choice instead of fries by default like most combo deals. Onion rings and fried zucchini are named in Google reviews more than almost anything else on the menu, so the side is worth choosing on purpose. A hamburger combo with the drink included runs $10.99, value for a full plate.
View MenuKids under twelve
A pancake or French toast with one egg and a choice of bacon or sausage, both $6.99, for kids under 12. High chairs are already in the room, and both kids' breakfast plates are served from the 5:30 AM open to the 11:00 PM close.

Drive-thru
A drive-thru along the side of the building on Katella Avenue, printed right on the logo. The full menu goes through it, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, any hour between 5:30 AM and 11:00 PM, not a shortened version. It's one of the things guests mention often in Google reviews here.

Why Harry's Cafe
Every breakfast plate is on the menu from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM, not just before noon. Eggs, omelettes, breakfast burritos, and pancakes or French toast are all still available for a late dinner, the exact same plates as the morning rush, not a shortened late menu.
232 menu items from one kitchen, breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, and Mexican and Greek plates among them, plus seafood and more, so a table that can't agree still eats together.
No hidden fees added at checkout, unlike DoorDash, Grubhub, or Uber Eats. The price you see on the menu is the price you pay.
Every Thanksgiving, the menu comes off and a free turkey dinner goes out to anyone who walks in. The Mayor of Stanton comes out to help run it, not just attend, and it has run for about 30 years. CBS Los Angeles and KCAL News have both covered it, the same two stations on our press badges above.
Read the full Thanksgiving storyA drive-thru almost always belongs to a fast-food chain, not a sit-down restaurant with table service and a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. Harry's Cafe runs both, a dining room and a drive-thru lane along the side of the building. It's on the logo, and it's one of the things guests mention often in our Google reviews.
Google reviewers keep naming the same thing: a plate that's "enough to feed 2 for the price of one." Order less than you think you need, and take the rest home in a free box, value for a family splitting plates across a single table.

JORGE REYNA, Owner 27 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Andreas and Angela Psaras opened Harry's Cafe in this same building on Katella in 1987. Jorge Reyna has owned and run it for the last 27 of those years, the same owner today, long enough that people who came here as kids now bring their own kids. One reviewer put it plainly: “This place has been around for a long time and has been a go to diner for me since my childhood.”
