My husband and I decided to eat somewhere we havent tried before and stumbled upon this little gem of a diner.The food is made to order and was delicious! I made a happy plate. Great portions, prices and friendly service. A must try for sure!!Penney P.
This spot was a perfect quick breakfast stop for us! I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh all the ingredients were. Plenty of vegetarian options. I opted for the breakfast burrito and subbed the meat for fresh avocado instead. The hash browns were nice and crispy and the white cheddar was phenomenal. I even tried their spicy red sauce on it. I would definitely recommend this spot to fellow vegetarians.(Note: there is no outdoor seating/not dog friendly since it is an inside only spot)
I love this place. Good is always carefully made and taste great. One of my favorite places to go for lunch. Its worth it, I cant ever finish my meal in one setting.
Family owned and operated Malibu Cafe. Non descript place offers an extensive menu. Breakfast standards, egg, bacon, sausage, toast, etc. As far as brunch... omelettes pancakes, sandwiches or burgers. Family friendly at-home service has much to offer. Opted for the Monterry Omelette and coffee. Came fresh with perfectly ripe avocados, fluffy eggs and gooey cheese. Space feels like a SoCal cafeteria, thus the Malibu vibes. What a better way to celebrate #nationalsiblingday #shopsmall #eatlocal
The food here was awesome. Very nice people here too. We were just visiting in town and decided to try it out. I am glad we did.
They have a special homemade orange juice which I would highly recommend. The service is quick, the place is not super crowded and is a great spot for quick bite or lunch.Not expensive too. Had an excellent experience. Special tip: For vegans, they have delicious veggie burgers as well as veggie tacos. If you’re in the downtown area, definitely check this out.
Our first time in little rock and this place was amazing! the staff was super friendly and the food was stellar! The staff were all wearing mask and overall i would recommend this place to everyone! Loved it
First time back in Little Rock in five years and I’m so glad I stopped at the spot! We had breakfast and it was phenomenal. You can tell it was made fresh with love❤️! A must for all visitors.
Such a great place!!Wonderful non greasy,fresh food and coffee!!Veggie Omlet was on the spot!! It was so healthy,dont walk away without tasting the fresh home made orange juice!!A place to visit.Staff so friendly and attentive!
I walked all over downtown looking for a place to eat, but since COVID it seems like everything is closed. I found this place and I have no regrets stopping in. I ordered the grilled salmon plate with rice and roasted veggies and I ate it so fast. It was delicious!! The salmon was perfectly cooked. The roasted veggies were lightly seasoned. I spent $17 between an old fashioned coke & dinner plate. Very well described as “hole in the wall” but that’s a compliment in my book!
Fast, courteous service and delicious food. Loved the crispy fries, lightly salted with no greasy taste. I ordered the veggie burger and was more than pleased with the taste and texture. Better than a trip to the surf! You GO, Malibu!
Awesome Food! Friendly staff! Pancake and Eggs +Sausage were amazing! 10/10 would recommend!
This was my first time he and everything we ordered was fresh seasoned to perfection and the staff was so friendly and accommodating I will definitely be back and I will definitely refer friends to check this place out
This restaurant is very homey, though it could be positively described as a hole in the wall. It provides multiple healthy options at affordable prices. We had the French Toast with Scrambled Eggs and sausage, and a Breakfast Burrito with fried potatoes and a side of thinly sliced avocado. It was truly scrumptious with eggs perfectly scrambled, the bacon was lean, and the potatoes had a perfect amount of salt. Though we had brunch (breakfast is served all day); the menu has many options for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They offer lots of seating, hand sanitizer, and social distancing options. It is family ran and they are doing free delivery for orders over $20 or more. The service was exceptional and it feels very homey and friendly. I love eating here and supporting this place. Parking is free around the back. GPS will bring you to the parking lot, and then you take the sidewalk around past Subway. The phone number works if you need to call in advance for directions, seating options, or takeout. This place is great.
Absolutely great, tiny place but the service and food were wonderful.
Great food and and service. Staff was extremely friendly and food prices are very reasonable. Also, very convenient downtown location. I will be back for sure.
Outstanding breakfast spot! Family owned, cook to order, large helpings, large selection, and prices are best I’ve seen anywhere in Little Rock.
The service was great, the food was great, and I would 100% recommend trying the home made orange juice! I will be back
Yall i can not get over these pancakes. If you love pancakes go here. They are the most delicious pancakes Ive ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. All day breakfast. Dont waste your time on IHOP, fancy diners, organic blueberries. Trust me. Come here.
Great service and food!
Okay. Not something I would recommend.
Looking for breakfast in the Rock, great place to get yours eggs and hot cake 👍
Great breakfast! Amazing power juice!Well done. Thank you3
Good food,fast service.
Great wee spot. Haven’t a bad meal there.Breakfast is great and their burgers are the bombs.Very affordable too
Really good food reasonably priced
A very no frills place but the Waitress was awesome the the food was amazing! Has a very Hole in the Wall feel to it and is very welcoming. Try the Mardi Gras Omelette!
I like Malibu more every time I eat there. Everything is freshly cooked when you order. My favorite menu items (so far) are the grilled salmon and the breakfast for lunch. The homestyle potatoes are perfect - crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. My lunch mate says the hamburgers are really good. The menu expands regularly - theyve added several Mexican entrees. In short, its a great addition to the downtown Little Rock lunch scene.
Quality food and great service. It is the true definition of a hole-iin-the-wall joint. I mean that in a positive way.
Delicious! Amazing fried potatoes with my omelet
Convenient downtown location. Food was decent, not my favorite, but did the trick. Staff was very friendly.
Attention all a few days ago I came in with my boyfriend and the atmosphere was so great and the burger was fresh. It was so good we both left great reviews. The guy behind the register (I assume the owner) is very nice and he has some very nice ladies with full figures which I can appreciate. I wish I could work with him. The chef seems always hard at work making the food.
I love this place. The food is great and affordable, and while there are often a lot of people around during lunch time (understandable!), it tends to empty out and becomes a really cozy quiet place to chow down. I think my only issue is that the room can be a little chill in winter, but the food warms me up pretty quick 😊
This place is awesome great food family owned very sweet people excellent customer service like I said everything I have had absolutely wonderful steak burrito number one got to be the best cheese queso I’ve had in town Five stars out of five
Great food. Its cook to order, so EVERYTHING is always fresh! Breakfast is served all day. You want breakfast for lunch/dinner? No problem! The staff are also so very nice! Always a pleasant experience.
This is a great family friendly place to grab a bite to eat. I love the all day breakfast. I just had the tacos with beans and rice for only $6.50, it was an amazing meal that filled me up. Its ran by decent, hardworking, honest people.
Was dissapointed cold over cooked eggs store made hash browns Was looking for a great sit down breakfast .This was not it no on checked back in to see if the food was ok .Was told good things about this place but not what I got maybe Ill try again but I doubt it $27 for 2 people for breakfast that wasnt very good and we were the only ones there
My family and I found this little gem on Google and we are so happy we stopped in! Family owned and operated. Fresh ingredients and made to order meals. I had the steak burrito that was loaded with meat and exploding with delicious flavor. My daughter had the steak tacos and she wouldn’t even share because they were so good, she said they were the best street tacos she’s ever had. My husband had the Mardi Gras omelette and he even mentioned it was the best restaurant omelette he’s ever had!We also ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice and that was also delicious and tasted as if we were drinking juice with a straw straight from the orange!Overall amazing food, amazing service, clean atmosphere! We can’t wait to come back!
A cute café with really great food! I had the ribeye burrito, which comes with beans and rice. It was so flavorful! They have a large variety of menu items and serve breakfast all day. Definitely want to go back to try something else, because there were lots of other things that sound delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful, asking if we had been there before and helping us decide what to order!
Great place for lunch and breakfast. I order an omelette and a side order of bacon every time I go. It is awesome that he remembers his customers and their orders. They have GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GREAT TASTING FOOD!!!!!
Very kind staff! Always greeting me with a smile when I show up! When I come in everybody is like Hello Monica! Good to see you again! That makes me feel special to know my dollars are going to a company that cares about their customers. Not to mention some amazing food! Check them out when you are downtown. They have just expanded their menu! Breakfast, brunch, snack, lunch, dinner foods! They have it all covered! :)
Me and my girlfriend stopped by for lunch and had bacon cheeseburgers. Food was great, price was great, and the staff was very friendly. They offered me a free sample of their in house hot sauce, it had a nice flavor and kick to it. Nice atmosphere and experience overall, defiantly recommend giving them a try.
I wish there were more places like this around town. The bill was fair I would say.
Best Restaurant Downtown👌🤞❤
Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back!
Good quality food, nice service, so so ambiance. Ok prices too.
Very impressed. I ordered through a lunch delivery service, and the meal was fantastic! Its so AWESOME to be able to have breakfast in the middle of the day! I had scrambled eggs, that were fluffy, and done all the way through, without being dry, I had about 4 medium length pieces of bacon that were perfectly cooked exactly between crunchy and chewy. The potatoes were really good, as well. Also, the prices are more than reasonable, for the amount and quality of the food. I will definitely order from them again.
Great little family own and operated diner. Great food and fast service. If your office is close by they will deliver your food for free :)
Malibu Nachos! Very good!!!
You know the other day on top of the food being sub par at best. I noticed that it was nothing but people who spoke nothing but Spanish, and then one white man. Shaking my head. He must not have been able to get hired anywhere else so he had to go work with those people. What a loser. Well I say they can go back from wherever they came and take him with them.
Had veggie tacos and orange juice. It’s not expensive and tastes good too. Definitely worth a quick bite.
This place is AWESOME AND AMAZING!!!!! Will definitely be going back!!!!
Food is incredible! Service is very friendly, prices are reasonable. Favorite place for breakfast and lunch
Delicious food in a quaint restaurant. Very friendly staff. The omelets are superb!
Very friendly staff - made a special order for my picky grandson the first time I visited. Today we had the monterey chicken plate and a ribeye burrito and both were EXCELLENT! Lots of flavor, perfectly cooked.
Deceptively bigger on the inside. Basically a diner with a great selection of breakfast and lunch items. I had the chorizo and eggs and It was great.
We accidentally stumbled upon this place but the service was good and the food was better! Had the cheeseburger and fries and it was delicious! Wish I knew about it sooner.
Fred was very keen on me bailing my brother out, even my insistence that i have no brother was still no obstacle to this request. I was quite frustrated with his agent john who read my receipt wrong and screwed allot of things up. Fred would often have some quiet time with his plant. He would talk to it and even discuss some of his plans to it. Fred also rekindles in his time where he started smoking weed in the seventies.
I had the Monterey Omlette with red potatoes and it was so good! The customer service was phenomenal- they delivered to my hotel for free! I picked this restaurant because of the great reviews and I was not disappointed. I would definitely recommend eating here!
A downtown gem.
Right down the road from my work. You can tell the food is made with quality ingredients, and the people are very nice.
I dont know who has given this place 4.7 stars but they lied. The food was horrible and it took a long time to get our food.I got the pork chops and steamed vegetables and it was horrible. The meat was very thin and dry and nasty.
The food is great, and the people are even better. Ian a big fan and admirer. Needless to say me and the rest of the crew from Stephens will be returning on a regular basis.
Excellent breakfast with great service.
The best food in Litte Rock and with very good service. I spoke with the owners and they seem like very good people. I hope they have a lot of sucsess so i can keep going.
You cant beat the fresh taste. You can tell their food is never frozen. Well definitely be back.
As an older gentlemen I remember the good old days when you could go in and have the taste of fresh ingredients. This place helped me refresh back to those times.
Great food great people I recommend this to anyone looking for some good eats and good peeps
My name is Tyrese Anderson. Lets start this again... if you dont know Fred Herbert, than this is BS. When I Googled this business, it didnt come up first on this list. How could they possibly do this? Is this the way you act Google, is this your way of getting out of your responsibilities? Fred Herberts right across the street, you know the building with the big red letters that say BAIL BONDSMAN? Also the customer a few tables over got angry when I farted.
Nice place for soup🤩🤩🤩
Very clean, good food, great service.
Really nice people. Great food.
My grandmother, a colleague, and I came here to eat lunch while on break for a seminar that was in town. I ordered the taco plate, which comes with 4 carne asada tacos, $2 each a la carte. They workers insisted the tacos were of a much better quality than the crispy tacos that were on special and they said the quality of meat was much different and better for the authentic Mexican street style taco. As a California native, fluent Spanish speaker, and avid foodie...i was incredibly disappointed with this meal because the MEAT WAS OLD, DRY, FLAVORLESS, and TOUGH. The cashier and waitress seemed do be a young high school aged woman who I felt uncomfortable complaining about my meal to, but it was the absolute worst taco I had in my life and I had the Taco Bell $1 crispy taco before. The salsa, lime, and Cholula hot sauce werent enough to make the meat any better. But being 6 months pregnant, hungry, and pressed for time I couldnt find another alternative. Both the subway and the Mexican cantina that were on either side of this restaurant were closed. Her customer service was great, but the food was even worse than sub-par. I will have rather ate at McDonalds or literally anywhere else but the car we drove was in a parking garage and we were pressed for time. Like I said all close options (keep in mind Im pregnant) were not available to me at the time. We came in on Saturday, August 17, 2019 around 1pm or so. With this experience, I will likely never eat at this establishment again and will inform others of this experience so that this issue could be avoided. It was so unfortunate. They are a family owned Business who I would have loved to support and have a go to spot to eat at tomorrow, but that is all gone now. Lol
This has become our favorite lunch spot! The restaurant is always clean, the food is fresh and yummy AND the customer service is the BEST of any of the downtown eateries.Unlike some of the other restaurants downtown--EVERYTIME my coworkers and I order from here we know we are at a place that were welcomed and our business is appreciated. From the time we place our group orders--no matter how complex, the food is always ready for pick up within 15 minutes. I highly recommend the salmon salad (the salads Ive ordered dont come with cheese, but I personally like to add it to my salad orders)--and my all time favorite item there is the french fries. I DETEST thin, crispy, shoe-string style fries and those crinkle cut fries with the wavy cut that always makes for a weird texture are super icky. Malibu does french fries right! They are golden, lightly salted strips of pillowy perfection.If you are looking for consistantly delicious, fresh food from a spot with fast and friendly service this is the place! And, knowing you are appreciated as a customer is icing on the proverbial cake!
Very nice staff. Food was prepared quick and tasted great.
Very flavorful food! Awesome people!
HOLY MOLLY! The mol sauce with the tamales are some of the best Ive ever had!
Everything was SO good and everyone was so nice!!
Average food
Ribeye burrito is the way to go
Great people, and great food.
The lady that took my plate had a big rear end.
Great Breakfast all day
