The Red Onion Restaurant a new diner in Alameda

The Red Onion Restaurant in Alameda is located in the former Bernardi’s Cleaners building. The Moderne style sign and store frontage has been maintained much as it was when the old cleaner was built in 1946.  It is a cool looking building, just perfect for the American diner in Alameda.  The Red Onion is located at 1222 Park Street.  Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm daily.

The Red Onion with its American diner feeling with counters, tables and decor suited to  the diner style.  It has found a good home in Alameda on Park Street. This is the third Red Onion restaurant in the East Bay, the other two are in Pinole and Vallejo.  The owners, Johnny and Buffy are brother and sister.  Buffy is a long time Alameda resident, so the Alameda location was perfect for her.

The Red Onion serves good American fare with breakfast including their wonderful omelets. They have a wide variety of burgers and their amazing chili cheese fries.  They haven’t forgotten vegetarians. They provide tasty options like portabella burger, garden burger and vegetarian noodles.

The Red Onion has gotten mostly positive reviews, like this review I found on Yelp:

“ I went to high school in Pinole, and Red Onion was our fav hang out spot. So nice to see it come to Alameda. The owner is a dear, always recognizing us, saying hi, and stopping by our table....Oh and they're open late. Everything in Alameda closes early.. they've said if you get in by 9:59 they'll serve you. Is that nice or what?”
