Zini's Diner

Stopped by Zinis’s Diner in Cloverdale and was reminded why local spots like this are so special. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by friendly, welcoming staff and seated right away. I had an unexpected phone call just as I sat down, and Stephanie, the host, was incredibly kind and professional. She gave me the time I needed and returned a few minutes later without any pressure—something that isn’t always easy for servers when timing matters. Her patience and professionalism truly stood out. She recommended the smoked bacon Eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Great food, genuine hospitality, and a true family-owned business that takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend supporting this Cloverdale favorite. 🍳🥓❤️

Oh my. This place is fabulous! We were waiting outside for them to open. The staff was on top of everything. The food was delicious and quick to come out. Highly recommend you grab some breakfast here when passing through.

Great breakfast and great service. Love all the omelettes and potato skillet. Great friendly service these guys are really good. Definitely my go-to place for breakfast in Cloverdale.

Stopped here while traveling and got an excellent patty melt (cooked to order) and a nice green salad. Lots of diner style food options. Nice choice to avoid the fast food chain restaurants, easy to get to (my Google maps GPS found and directed me), and easy to get back on the freeway. Recommended.

The eggs Benedict’s and pancakes were delicious. The clam chowder had a strange lumpy texture and did not taste good.
