Peggy Sue’s

If you’re dying for a Malt shake, this place is the one to go to!
Their burgers on the other hand… not so much. I had one from their «Good Old Fashion» Burger menu which promises a ¹⁄₃ lb. Angus Chuck Beef, but to my disappointment, it was paper thin and definitely not worth the cost.
The curly fries are good though!

The only non crazy bar scene and a semi empty place to go eat in downtown. When we walked in we sat down (didn’t know we were suppose to order up front. Our bad) I haven’t ordered yet but apparently you need to receipt to use the restroom! Ugh
We ordered the buffalo wings plus fries and chili cheese fries. The guy at the register was nice but the other staffs were a bit rude. The wings and ranch were pretty good, not going to lie.
The restaurant was a bit confusing when it’s your first time. Just hold on to the receipt for your dear life!

Service can be whatever. They have a variety of fries to munch on yum, curly fries ftw! The best thing is their shark tanks/​fish bowls that come in tequila or vodka, they taste pretty good and they’re colorful (: I would suggest maybe 3 per bowl though, but they’re easy to finish and they’re not even strong lol. I preferred the tequila one as well as my bf, but the rest of my friends liked the vodka.
Since our group was so large, they made the cashier come out to check all of our ids again… Oh yah, restrooms are for customers only. They’re kind of stingy here, lol. We came back to use the restrooms, one of the workers remembered us and said go ahead. Another one told us we needed a receipt and thank god one of our friends had kept his!

A little fun place to grab some food and drinks with your friends and perfect spot for groups to dine at!
They have outdoor seating and hugggge tv screens indoors!
I love the theme here and the food. Fast service and they also validate.
Drinks:
Recommend their shakes and alcoholic beverages .
Mint shake and their «shark tank» which is a huge bowl of alcohol of flavors combined in one.

If I could give zero stars, I would!
FUCK this place. FUCK their staff and their sorry excuse for customer service. They have no idea how to run a restaurant, I could’ve run it better myself with my eyes shut.
We came here last night to grab a bite and finish the Sharks game after many years away. Our first red flag should’ve been the PACKED o’ flaherty’s next door and the empty restaurant which was Peggy sues. We check out the menus and pick what we want. There were three of us with two separate orders. I ordered an Oreo malt and a chili cheese dog. Friends ordered one hot dog, one root beer float, one pint of beer, and chicken wings with fries. Malt comes and root beer floats. They were decent enough.
Dude comes and beings MY number to my friend which was a plain hot dog… ok, maybe they’re just mixed up. Brings a 2^nd plain hot dog… uhhh? No one ordered a second plain and they called it their number. Ok, so where’s my chili cheese dog and his chicken and fries? «Oh, he didn’t order that». Umm… excuse me mother fucker… YES he did. Not our fault you heard him wrong. Should’ve been a simple exchange… NOPE. Takes the 2^nd plain hot dog back… explains to staff that’s not what he wants nor what he ordered and they begin to argue with him. Telling him that’s not what he ordered so basically telling him he’s gotta either eat it or not but they DONT REFUND for shitty service or wrong orders. You take what you get here. They brought my chili cheese dog, I told him don’t bother dropping it off, we fought for their money back in cash (after paying with card) because they have no idea how to refund a card… fuckin joke. They declined several times before my friends nearly became very mean people. We left, none of us ate. Wasted my money on their shitty service and I WONT be going back.

Horrible horrible food; only thing good is that they validate parking over weekend. But that too just don’t go to cranky fat lady, she will give the false validated tickets that will make you hold at the exit for 30 mins since the parking attendant won’t come to help you for at least half an hour. You keep on calling the number for customer service at City View parking and nobody will pick up the phone.
Really the worst possible service we observed multiple times at Peggy Sue’s and CityView parking. They just know they got prime location so that they will get business anyway.

This place used to be a gem. Now it’s a joke.
The young woman with the gauges in her ears first messed up my order. Then she over charged me. Then when I pointed out that my food didn’t have the chili I ordered, they put a half scoop of chili on the plate and thrust it at me.
Despite this, I was polite the whole time. I exited for a few seconds then when back in to use the restroom. She said I had to order something else because «the restroom is ‘for customers only’». Really I exit for 30 seconds and my previous purchase is negated???
Food is only mediocre now, and over priced. With this sorry excuse for service I won’t be coming back.

My wife & I came here on a whine … B4 I read the reviews … Note 2 self… We ordered something fast & quick & in a hurry … 2^nd mistake ., when we finally got our meal … It looked good … I got a crab sandwich … I asked if it was real crab meat … The chick told me yeah … Than there was a pause of silence … 3^rd mistake… my wife’s food at about room below temp but looked great and u know my crab was not meat… Anywayz … Don’t ignore the signz … Endz up in cold … imitation foods … Not even gonna tell u bout the bathroom situation … Or the loud Elvis songs … Oh and the garlic fries with ALL the garlic in the middle… Nah I don’t think we’ll be bck … But the soda was good …

No substitutions. Oh, also? Just ran out of coffee. How about Coke Zero, since you have a Coke Zero display? No, don’t carry Coke Zero despite the display. Diet Coke? No, just ran out.
So we took a hint, and we just ran out!

It’s was more the staff than the restaurant. Had ordered food for friends and they had a hard time using the restroom. She’s even had a receipt! Food was ok, but id rather hop in the Dolorean and travel back to the 1950’s for a better burger.

This place needs a lot of work to become a spot that I would frequently visit.
It’s got your typical food items for a casual diner including: burgers, chicken, fries, salads, and more. For $ 6.00 I expected my avocado burger to be a lot better. The patty tasted like it had been frozen before and the bun wasn’t all that fresh. They didn’t put enough cheese either. Oddly enough though the avocado, lettuce, and tomatoes were all super fresh tasting. Haven’t tried any of their mixed drinks yet, but I’m sure they aren’t cheap.
Despite it’s great location it simply boils down to the fact that there are numerous other places close by with better food and for a similar price. I’d say skip it.

You don’t come here unless it’s late, you’re drunk, desperate, hangry or all of the above. Not wanting to brave the NYE crowds at all the nicely-​rated places in DTSJ, we came here for a late night meal. The food was nothing to rave about. Very greasy, typical diner food that you tend to regret a few hours later. We ordered clam chowder, a sandwich and a shake to share. The oreo shake was pretty good, sandwich was edible, but the clam chowder was disgusting. It was either from a can or it wasn’t fresh. I should have expected it, but I still wanted to give it a chance.
The tables and floors were disgusting. The germaphobe in me couldn’t look at it. I kept my feet raised from the floor at all times. Service was minimal.

I don’t think people come here for the food, but the alcohol (and maybe alcohol-​induced desperate hunger). It usually looks empty in comparison to the other San Pedro Sq area places occupied at night.
First shady thing was that my boyfriend bought me a shark tank and the cashier dude was like «he’s getting you that so he can take you home *wink,» VERY CREEPY AND UNNECESSARY. And then they watched the drinks being made and we were convinced they didn’t put the 5 shots they listed in it, especially since it tasted really weak.
We ended up getting curly fries once we got hungrier and they were pretty bad, didn’t taste like anything more than bland potatoes needing to be drenched in ketchup. If a diner does fries poorly I can only imagine what the rest of their food tastes like, yikes. I guess they do have affordable stuff to get you messed up but it probably wouldn’t be a first choice establishment for moooost!

WHY just why did I settle on this place?
I admit I was having a good buzz when I ran into this diner to hide from the cold because it was the only place that didn’t have a wait. The ambience was a pretty little diner. The music was on point. And… But nope. Really bad decision.
Now when you’ve been drinking, you know you want a big greasy gross whatever. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. Presentation-​wise, it looked eatable. But even in my tipsy state, It did not measure up to what the hell why would call that a philly?! The steak was in one piece, with no taste at all. Not even with the pathetic slice of cheese. I couldn’t even take a bite of finish it because I struggled with it like a rubber dog chew toy. I was so upset.
The Fish & Chips tasted like garbage oil and left my boyfriend with food poisoning all night.
Fries were no good no matter how many different choices they pride themselves on having.
The ONLY good thing was the SHARK TANK with tequila. It’s a huge boozy novelty item that got me buzzin and it’s good to share for 2.
So to save your money and tastebuds, don’t eat here and if you must, just order a shark tank.

Okay, so first of all, despite all the shitty reviews of this place, I tried to keep an open mind. We were looking to get some food before the sharks game, and we’d never been here before, so we thought, why not.
Right off the bat, this place didn’t seem very clean. There were a lot of bugs buzzing around near the back door where we sat. The food was not good at all. My girlfriend got a Philly Cheese Steak, and holy mother of god. If the Flyers ever visit the Sharks, and their fans ordered this «Philly Cheese Steak», they’d laugh their asses off. It’s a piece of sirloin with some cheese thrown on top. It does not deserve to be called a Philly Cheese Steak. Gross. It didn’t even taste good.
I ordered the Fish and Chips, and I opted for the Garlic Fries. The fish was this oily, burnt, gross looking mass of grossness. I ate most of it because I was hungry. The garlic fries weren’t even good… how do you mess up garlic fries?! I got it all down but it was not pleasant.
The prices weren’t great either. Way too high for a place like that, and especially for the quality of food. I can’t even comment on the service, because it was just non-​existent.
Now for the worst part… an hour or two later, I’m on the bathroom floor at home hugging the toilet, up-​chucking all that Peggy Sue fried grossness. I usually have a tough stomach, but man– no one would’ve been able to avoid the food poisoning from the plate I had. It was reverse lava flow out my digestive system all night long.
All I could mutter under my breath between every sputtering gag into the toilet was, «Never again, Peggy Sue. Never. Again.»

If you ever find yourself in this area and hungry after 10pm, then you might end up eating at Peggy Sue’s. Sadly I found myself in this situation last night.
With two hours until midnight (when they close), floors were already being mopped and the restaurant reeked of cleaning products. Not what you want to smell while eating a meal! Another negative is the bathrooms are only accessible with the assistance of a staff member. The turkey, avocado, & swiss sandwich was blah. And while my meal was cheap, it left me wishing I chose something greasy instead.

You ever hear the saying, «you get what you pay for?» 99% of the time that happens to be the case. While the prices here are extremely cheap, your food and dining experience here will also reflect that.
I got the «Marlon Brando,» which is a mushroom swiss burger. The burger was pretty tasteless in all regards — the vegetables weren’t the freshest, the cheese/​mushrooms/​patty weren’t memorable in any way. The sweet potato fries, however, were quite excellent.
Peggy Sue’s has this 1950’s/60’s vibe going on, as the interior is reminiscent of an old 50s diner and the music ranges from Chaka Khan to Frank Sinatra. I really liked the atmosphere, but what irritated me was that since the doors are always left open, flies were buzzing around our table all the time.
There’s far better burger spots and quirky hangout locations in the Bay and in San Pedro Square specifically; I’m going to give this one a no-​go in the future.

The food and service at Peggy Sue’s diner are consistently good, and the diner itself is clean and very pleasant.
I usually get the Mediterranean tuna salad, Cobb salad, California chicken sandwich or the turkey burger. My boyfriend prefers the bacon & pepper Jack burger. We both like the clam chowder here, too.
For the price, Peggy Sue’s diner is a very good deal.

If you want to wait a year and a half for your food come here.
Asked how long said five more minutes
Twenty minutes later we went to the cashier to ask for a refund and this is what we got, «please give me five more minutes.»
Service is terrible
There a bugs because they leave the doors open.
If you have a question no one answers you.
Basically worst place I’ve ever been to, thought I’d try it out, but it was so bad we were just like forget it lets leave.

I am not sure why this place has such low ratings. I think the reason why I liked this place is because I was so hungry and it was also a night full of drinking (yeah, that’s probably why). My friends and I wanted to go grab a bite to eat at San Pedro Square but everything was closing when we got there so we ended up here.
I really like the interior of this place. It has this causal vibe to it, kind of retro, too. We quickly ordered and found a table to sit at and wait. I got the #1, which is the Hollywood burger. It’s just a regular burger with avocado. The food didn’t take too long to get to us. I was a little impatient because I was so hungry. It was already 8pm and I haven’t had dinner yet, talk about being hangry. When my food came, I chow the burger down. I didn’t exactly care too much about how it tasted, but it tasted really good to me. (But I think this is what a hangry and somewhat buzzed person would say…) I don’t remember much from the burger but I remember it having large pieces of avocado in it, which I love!
Overall, this burger definitely helped me sober up a bit. It definitely satisfied my hungry stomach. I doubt I’ll come back considering other options in the area. Maybe it was a later time and they weren’t as busy, but the food was pretty decent.
