Whoever owns this place has created a gold mine for themselves. On Sundays, the line is out the door and rightfully so!! The food is excellent and served hot; the coffee is always freshly brewed, and your cup is never empty. The wait staff are super friendly and can handle the overflow crowds with ease. They also allow you to tailor your breakfast without all of the excessive add on charges. My favorite breakfast place ever!!

Breakfasts are consistently excellent. The chorizo omelette is definitely my favorite. Everything is fresh and the side dish of fresh fruit is unmatched.

Liked Rex's. A lot.

Somebody's running this place right. The help is genuinely friendly and sensitive to customers. None of that fake, trailer trash friendliness exhibited in recent visits to Gaffey Street Diner and Omlette and Waffle.

They bring you excellent, hot coffee if you have to wait, which you may because they're small. It's worth the wait, folks.

Food is very good and multiple, occasionally out of the ordinary choices.

Coffee - frequent ,tasty, and hot.

Waitress and bussers - genuine and patient and good humor.

We've been to eight different breakfast places in Long Beach and Pedro on the week end over the last two months. Rex's is tentatively my favorite. I'll retest it and I hope it repeats it's first performsnce. Nothing I've seen in Pedro yet matches it. We'll not go back to Gaffety Street Diner, Omlette and Waffle. We started into Pacific Diner, whcih our friends recommended and appears popular, but didn't like the patio only, cafeteria long table seating on a cool Saturday morning. It'll have to go some to match Rex's further up Pacific.

In Long Beach, Omlette Inn downtown on Pine is comparable. Eggs, Etc ain't bad.

And, we're ok with The Coffee Cup and The Potholder, but need to give them a second try to be sure.

BUT - we'll go back to Rex's and I expect we'll still be happy about it. So far, it's my favorite breakfast spot with Omleete Inn a close second.

Can you say big? Well you could and would if you saw the size of the pancakes served at Rex's. I like to go to this spot to refill after a good morning run or when ever I want a tasty and healthy breakfast. My favorite side is their brown rice. They also have good muffins. Staff is friendly and the wait is rarely that long...if at all.

Great food. Good selection. Huge pancakes!!! Nice atmosphere. Kid friendly.

We had to park on the street and deal with the panhandlers on the way to the restaurant, but it was worth it.

The food rocks, the coffee is good and hot and love the service.
