Grubfellas Cafe Diner in Sefton

Being there makes me want to go home and watch a Martin Scorsese movie.

12/07/2024 Stopped in here with a friend for a late night snack. She talked this place up and I had never been. I ordered the The Salmon Salad and she ordered the Beefeater. Staff were professional and courteous. Customer service was excellent. Food was exceptional. Parking is lot is very big so parking is ample. Definitely a 5-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Goodfellas Cafe! Thank you Nomad Foods! - Michael Montoya

The food is the best anywhere! The Steaks are UNBELIEVABLE DELICIOUS!! Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the owners and staff are amazing and so friendly. I eat here at least 2-3 times a week. And would eat here everyday! THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE THAN THIS 😃

We went on Thanksgiving, the food is delicious and the portions are very good. I wish the waitresses were more professional. Beautiful restaurant. I would return without a doubt 😊

The food here was fantastic with a great variety of dishes to choose from. However, the service was a letdown. Our server seemed to be in a bad mood, got our order wrong, and rarely checked in on us. When we asked for an additional to-go box, she disappeared entirely. While I would definitely return for the delicious food, I’d likely request a different waitress next time.

Servers are on their game every time. Short stack was very good. Good place!

The food was delicious, I ordered the chicken alfredo.

This place was great. Wonderful food, service and ambiance. Its a little loud, but most places are these days

Great restaurant, large portions of delicious food.

Love this place. The gangster history is amazing and food is hands down bomb

This time was not good food and service i did not get what I want she had to have it redone and still not like I had it before the hash brown was burned and I had to wait for my post for a long time I had to remind her twice and it was dry.

Very fast and excellent service. 10 out of 10

If you don’t have door dash how was I able to place an order AND have the money come out of my account? Insane that the manager can’t take responsibility for THEIR OWN mistakes. They have online orders on their Google account so I placed my order and the money went through. When I came to pick up my food instead of saying “oh I’m sorry we don’t have online ordering” and showing me how to get my money back, the girls says “I don’t have your order” . Confused because even though I placed an order and have the proof, they just kept dismissing me saying there isn’t an order.. She goes and gets the manager and he yells from across the restaurant so I tell him to get up and come over because that’s rude. the manager (scraggly looking old guy) comes over mad at me saying that they don’t have online ordering. Im showing him my order because how?! I placed the order online and someone took my money from this establishment with it. He gets upset at me like it’s my fault that they have this service on their accounts that they don’t know how to use. They took my money and won’t refund me saying he doesn’t have door dash and to call door dash. I tell him that he needs to call DoorDash and get it removed and he tells me that when he calls them they don’t answer (sir.. if they won’t answer you how in the heck will they answer me to refund my money?!?! And clearly that means that you already knew about this issue before hand). Even then it sounds like door dash and you have the issue NOT me . How do you think that I feel after wasting money, time and gas just to get there and be ridiculed for YOUR problem … Rude and incompetent. Get your stuff together instead of blaming customers for your mistakes . Now I have to go through my bank to make a dispute on a stupid $8 order instead of the manager doing his job

Recently moved to the Riverside area and met some Orange County friends here for lunch. Our server Belen, was so friendly and accommodating with a couple of special requests (crispy bacon, no cheese, etc). We ordered three different chicken sandwiches and we all agreed that the chicken was cooked perfectly. The side choices were soup, salad, fruit or fries. I had veggie soup (delicious) and my friends had fries. Everything was really tasty and the portions were large. We came around 12:30 and a lot of people were eating breakfast. We decided next time we would meet earlier because everything on the breakfast menu looked so good. They have a lot of different food choices and you won’t leave hungry. Nice place, I’ll definitely be back.

Food was very tasty and generous portions.

The steak plate was ok but I would not order it again.

I live 5 minutes away and I highly recommend this place for breakfast if you want a really good portion for a very good price! Also very tasty!

Food is good they should really take down ordering online though I give that 0 stars it's confusing and wasted my time. call ahead or go in DO NOT ORDER ONLINE.

Gave this place a try since it wasn’t far from my hotel. Love the aesthetic. Place is clean and staff was efficient and friendly. I just ordered the eggs and a fruit bowl which is pretty fresh and delicious.

Everything very good. It is a good, very familiar place when you visit and the staff has first-class service and is very attentive.

Great food and good prices, never disappointed when we go there

Good breakfast omolete! Great customer service! Prices high but good portions.

Portions are always generous, food quality very good

I was so excited to try this place but it was not great. I ordered a tuna melt sandwich and it was dry, plain, and over priced. The service was was not great, the servers all look agitated and upset even the front host lady. I loved all the framed pictures but that’s all that was great about eating here. I was disappointed. Will not be eating here again.

We came a long ways to meet at this restaurant for a meeting. We ordered a tuna melt sandwich and we all got sick so we decided to give this restaurant a one star catchy name but the food sucks.

First time I have been here. Not too busy for 830am on a Thursday morning. The Eggs Benedict was amazing 😀 Thick sliced Canadian Bacon, 3 pouched eggs, and hash browns. It was just over $18. But worth every bite😊 I did get a side order of biscuits and gravy to take home. The bite I had of them was also very good 👍

The food is great, very large portions, the service is outstanding. Highly recommend this place

Great experience! Our servers were friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything was delicious.

Great food…Breakfast, lunch , & dinner! The staff is always friendly and the food is always delicious & plentiful! Too bad they are not in fla !

Great food, service and atmosphere. Value for the food is good.

This is my mom's favorite restaurant, the portions are worth the price. And the food is delicious. I recommend this place to anyone who wants comfort food. Try to go on a weekday because it does get full on weekends. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs. I ordered waffles topped with ice cream, pecan, and strawberrys. It was so good my husband was talking about it till the next day.

Food was OK, BUT the service was terrible. Went Wednesday 3pm. Google maps says BREAKFAST ALL DAY. Waitress said breakfast closed, GOOGLE is fake......We came for breakfast items....

Enjoyed American breakfast. The place was packed. The service was very friendly.

Had French toast that was basically topped with canned pie filling. Was ok. Just the normal issue of most restaurants not knowing how to make French toast. They used a thicker bread that ended up being dry in the middle. The meals my friends had looked pretty tasty.

Won’t let me place a to-go order unless I pay over the phone , service sucks and the hostess have rude attitudes food is okay though

Very delicious food and in abundant portions, 2 people eat one plate

Excellent food, big portions, great ambiance and good service. Cinnamon French Toast Yum!

The very best food in Corona! Thank you for staying open late! And GREAT LIVE MUSIC ON THURSDAY 😃💯🙏 Thank John and friendly staff!

Had lunch with my brother, nephew, and two sons, so great food and great company. The BBQ beef sandwich is fire! My favorite. 😋

Expensive to say the least. Steak and Eggs $29.99. Server was awesome and food was good, but NOT that good for the price.

We enjoyed our time There meals are so large

Big plates, delicious food. The coffee was strong like it should be.

This is a good place to have breakfast. It's very busy on the weekends but the service is still phenomenal and the food is amazing.

There's a waitress there that's really pretty nice body

The food was pretty good. Waitress did her job but didn't seem happy.

I’m visiting California but leaving soon so figured I’d splurge on a good lunch. The $37 price tag for a French dip and some zucchini “fries” seemed steep but I was excited to eat it. The “fries” are spears so thick and soft which isn’t my favorite and the cheese on it only touched four of them… but the French dip, which was $20, is basically inedible. Basically just hard, dry meat on bread. The gravy was good.

THE PLACE IS OLD, BUT VERY COZY AND CLEAN. IT FEELS A VERY FAMILIAR ATMOSPHERE. THE PLACE IS OLD WING, BUT THAT MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING. THEY HAVE WINES AND BEER AND CHEESE CAKE... I THINK IT'S WORTH IT. THE PRICES ARE VERY AFFORDABLE TOO.

Best Chef Salad in my book. Ham and Swiss cheese, hard boiled egg, Cucumbers, just really a great big salad. ♡

This place was great. I liked it . We will be going back to try out the dinner

Tell the goodfellas I said thank yoh

Place is extremely intimate. Quaint. Very. Great food. The shrimp fettuccine is beyond Belief!! The owner is there all the time, greeting customers, making u feel like ur part of the family there, and honestly, I now feel as if I'm a permanent fixture there!! Hell yeah, 5 stars across the board, which I very rarely do mind you. Go check out Goodfellas Cafe!!

Food is average, nothing special

A gem of a restaurant. Large portioned, well crafted selections in an old school 'Rat Pack' motif. You will have to wait to be seated on weekends as it is immensely popular. You'll not be disappointed.

PSA: the “Order Online” option through Google is a SCAM! I ordered food to pick up and arrived in the restaurant only to be told that this is a known scam and that there’s a lawsuit in progress. Not sure why it’s still being offered as an option on Google but wanted to spread the word.

A very nice restaurant. My pastrami melt was quite tasty. The atmosphere was nice and calm. The service was very good. I plan to return because I liked it so much.

I love this place you get big portions of great food plus frank Sinatra music, this is my kind of place.

Large amount of food great breakfast great people love this place new breakfast place for the wife and i

Great food at reasonable priced. America,Italian and some mexican

Great family and welcoming environment and great food and services!

Huge portions, very nice waitress.

Excellent atmosphere. Great food. Great service. Absolutely will be back. Was here for breakfast but I want to try it all!!

I honestly have no clue how this horrible restaurant stays in business. Read all of the other 1 star reviews, then add IT SMELLS BAD. I don't think they clean the bathrooms! This place is just flat out gross. You need to be crazy to eat there.

made a quick stop here not knowing what i was getting myself into and boy am i glad that i did. The waitress was super friendly , the coffee was hot and the food was great and honestly the portion was too much but that isn't a bad thing . i took the rest home as there was so much. If you need a traffic break from 91 , stop off here , trust me. there is old mafia and good fellas memorabilia everywhere which is cool

Food was excellent! The atmosphere was retro, overall a pleasant experience.

As soon as you walk in you're surprised that this place actually is a gangster themed restaurant. There are pictures of real and Hollywood gangsters on the wall. The meals are themed and the music is fantastic! Even our server Sandra was smooth and had a cool accent. She must've been from the FBI because I never saw her watching me, but she always came back with a full drink! Her service was seriously on point! I started off with mozzarella sticks and they had the most perfect marinara sauce for dipping. The sauce was warm and thick and the mozzarella taste heavenly. My meal came with a soup or salad and I actually ordered the dinner salad, and finished it. The croutons were so good, and the blue cheese dressing actually had clumps of blue cheese. For dinner I had the fettuccine scampi. I was already getting full before I got my meal, but the food was so good that I attempted to finish it. The tails of the shrimp had already been removed, the pasta was al dente, and the scampi sauce made the plate. I had a little left and had to skip dessert because I was so full. Look at some of my other reviews and you'll see I eat at nice places. This place isn't fancy, but the food and the service have put this place as one of my favorites.

Place is great. Menu is a little overwhelming. Lots to choose from.

If you are in the mood for large portions and amazing flavors then Goodfellas restaurant is a must try restaurant. 10/10

Food was delicious and big enough portion to share. Would love to go again when I'm in the area

Quick service and great food with large portions that match the price.

Hubby & I decided to take a 45 minute drive to this restaurant only to receive horrible food and horrible service. The worst $70.00 bucks we spent on breakfast. Food was cold, ham was not cooked and the server made us feel as if we can’t ask for anything. She was so rude and only checked on us once. The restaurant itself was cute with the whole Goodfellows Movie type vibe but that was about it. Will never come again.

Great food. Great ambiance. I always look forward to having breakfast here. Service is awesome. Why are you still reading this? Head on over to Goodfellas now! You will not be disappointed. I promise.🥰🥰🥰

Lunch rush an slow things down in the kitchen unfortunately

The food is on the expensive side. This place gets loud it's seems like everybody needs to talk louder than the next person and before you know it you can't hear yourself think.

Food was amazing. The portion size was big and worth the price.

Took Fiancée here for her birthday. She is a big mob/gangster fan and this place was perfect. Food was great, server was very nice. Will be back again Her plate: apple waffles My plate: eggs benedict with homefries

Excellent service and generous portions of delicious food in a cool, rat pack atmosphere.

An enjoyable dining experience in a themed restaurant.

16 years ago we stumbled across this restaurant by accident. The art and ambiance is great My family and I come here for every special occasion. Good food Great place.

Great all around american diner

When to spreen Honda for maintenance went to Goodfellas for breakfast one of the biggest breakfast I ever saw and it was pretty tasty too they were friendly and had good service I would go there again not sure about anything else but the breakfast was good 👍

Love this place, food is great and served hot. Staff is great and the owners are wonderful. Me and my wife love this place. Great atmosphere!

Nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere and wonderful service.

My husband and I are frequent visitors to Goodfellas Cafe. We enjoy the food, service and atmosphere

Their breakfast is nasty bland with no flavor

How could you NOT love this place? It’s a step back in time to the great neighborhood diner. The place is immaculate, the service is on point and the food is delicious. All the little details are in place. My faves are the gyros, the beefeater and the fries. Always perfect! Kudos to the owners.

The fries are the best in all of America.

First time going and it was a great experience. My server was very attentive and had great service. The food was excellent!!

A truly dedicated waiter served us. I would like to thank Sandra from here. The food was great but seriously I will be back for Sandra.

Interesting Hollywood Italian atmosphere. Good food and plenty of it. Service was excellent!

This place is amazing! I've been here for breakfast and lunch. The food is great quality and very tasty!

Me and my fiance frequently have breakfast/ brunch dates here we love the food and the service.

Thursday nights are super loud from live music..if you want quite pick another time or thursday before 6pm...food was average seriously...i am Italian and know believe me and from the east coast...if you know east coast then you know what i am talking about...i would come back here and its very clean here and great parking..

Decided to stop in on mother's day morning for breakfast. A long wait was expected but once sat down our waiter was very attentive. The pancakes were delicious. The French Toast could be cooked a little longer. The patty melt was crispy and full of flavor. The French fries were some of the best fries I've had in a while. Overall it was a good meal.

Fun theme dinner. His breakfast choices. The Godfellas omelette was different than others. Italian sausage!

Tried this place because they seemed to have great reviews and were nearby on the way home. I enjoyed the godfather themed decor and we were seated right away. It’s a small nice looking place. Our server was pleasant but unfortunately the food was not up to par for me. All of the pastas that we ordered seriously lacked flavor and the sauce was runny to include chxn Alfredo and shrimp Alfredo . Personally I ordered the chicken florentine and was disappointed to find that it was not the usual stuffed chicken dish. It was a fettuccine pasta with little pieces of chxn breast and mushrooms. The portions were quite large but to me I prefer quality over quantity. The kids ordered the bacon burger and said that it was really good they actually finished the whole thing. I also felt the prices were not café prices more of a normal restaurant. But I’m sad to report I will be putting this on my list of do not return.

Great selection on the menu. The food is delicious, very generous portions and the service is great.

Great spot! Food was amazing delicious 😋

So glad that we randomly found this cafe. Their Clam chowder was amazing! I had a lettuce wrapped burger that was so good I forgot to put ketchup on it. Which says a lot because I love ketchup, it just didn’t need it. Husband ordered a Gyro, delicious as well with perfectly crisped edges. Service was friendly and efficient. Worth the out of way drive, for sure!

The music performance was not very good. Sounded like karaoke and the worst part. It was way too loud so I could not tune it out, trying to talk with friends was difficult.
