An Eagle Rock institution

Around fifty years at the same corner

Pete's Blue Chip has been a family-owned and family-run stand since the 1970s — long enough that framed photos of the old “Blue Chip Hamburger” building hang above the booths. Slide into the red leather, order at the counter, or roll through the drive-thru. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every day of the week.

“One of the rare places where the food is both good and affordable… The staff moves quick and are always friendly. The feel of a classic American diner is also a plus.”

— Andrei R., Eagle Rock
