World Famous Since 2008
Lumpy's Diner was built from scratch — one family, one griddle, one neighborhood at a time. Pull up a chair and meet the people behind your favorite East Bay diner.
Lumpy's Diner Antioch | Our Story
Born Into the Business
Jeremy "Lumpy" Sturgill grew up running his parents' diner in Concord by age fourteen. He learned early that a great diner is really just a great community with good food in the middle.
Antioch, 2008
In 2008, Lumpy opened his own spot in Antioch from the ground up. A second location in Pittsburg followed — growth driven by one simple thing: people kept coming back.
A Family Runs This Place
Lumpy met and married Marci in 2011, and the next year they welcomed their son Jaxx. This has always been a family operation — not a corporate one — and you can feel it the moment you walk through the door.
Rooted in the East Bay
Lumpy's gives back the way this community shows up — annual car shows, toy drives, burger contests, and fundraisers year-round. Elle Dee's Catering brings that same spirit to weddings and corporate events.
The Food That Started It All
The California Burger, ballpark garlic fries, double mimosas — made by people who genuinely care whether you enjoy it. We'll see you at the counter.
