    This place was great. Has a small town feeling. Servers had great attitudes. Food came out nice and hot. When I return back to the area I'll stop by and eat again. Thank you for the great pancakes.

    2 locations and they are both great!! They always have fresh baked homemade bread, delicious!! Service can be slow at times but once they take your order food is quick and hot. The suisun location is much cleaner than the Vallejo one but the food is tasty all the same.

    Excellent service, and hearty food, with generous servings at a good price. Their house made bread was incredible, they use it for their toast and French Toast, along with selling loafs.

    Came in just before closing and they sat us immediately at a cozy booth. Food came out quickly and was delicious and plentiful. I had the Monte Cristo with fries which was delicious-not deep fried and greasy like some others. Tons of meat and the homemade bread just incredible. My friend got the Chicken Fried Steak which he devoured minus two bites he shared and it was very good. The white gravy is AMAZING! My son got biscuits and gravy with eggs and sausage all was sooo good. The restaurant has plenty of easy parking and is clean and has a retro diner feel. Can't wait to go back again!

    Came on the fly for brunch today. Ambiance: old style diner with both table and booth seats Service: seated right away, and our host (the owner, too) was friendly, attentive, and thorough, making sure she completed our orders. Food arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. Food: they're known for their loaf- HIGHLY recommend ordering one to take home (we ordered 2). It's huge, filling, and soft- great deal for $6! They often run out, so I was excited they had any. The French Toast was good- nothing fancy- but I would've preferred if it was soaked more in the egg batter and served with less butter. Minor critique: coffee tasted weak and wasn't hot

    The French toast ! Get it! It's was the best thing in my entire life of 28 years. We visited from LA but I wish this place was closer to home. -Boyfriend got the omelette plate, no complaints. Didn't take pics cuz we were so hungry ! *Customer service is wonderful! *Establishment is clean. *They have freshly made bread! *No Apple Pay, but it's not a big deal.

    Ambiance the decor was as one would expect at a breakfast spot. Nothing fancy, but better than Dennys. I liked eating here better than Maple Bar and Cafe and Babs Delta Diner, all of which are on the Marina. I'm not saying they are bad, as each serves their purpose. Service Martha was our server, and I loved her. Extremely personable and attentive. Other employees helped out as well, picking up plates, bringing coffee, water, etc. Food the food was pretty good. I loved the pancakes. They weren't overly big, and they had a great flavor. The potaotes could have used more seasoning, but a little salt, pepper, and hot sauces from the table solved that problem. I love the green onions on top. I had enough food left over from the Ranch breakfast to fill another plate to take home to my daughter. The husband said he enjoyed the sausage, biscuit, and gravy. He said everything had the right amount of seasoning on it. We will definitely return.
