    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute diner near a truck stop and gas station[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . It seems to be a pitstop for truck drivers. Inside you order at the counter then they bring the food to you . At the counter they also have desserts on the right side . They show case some very delicious pies and cakes . I got the carrot cake and wow ! It was delicious. For food I got the western bacon burger with fries and a side of Mac and cheese . The Mac and cheese was not my favorite but the burger and fries were very good. We even got a side of onion rings with it. The onion rings were very crispy and good as well. The food definitely comes in big portions. The young man that helped us was very nice and attentive. Overall, it was a good lunch. I would come back again .

    BBQ Rib & Meat loaf

    We finally came and tried this place, and it was absolutely amazing. The food was incredibly delicious. The barbecue ribs melted right off the bone, and the meatloaf was so tender and bursting with flavor. They have some of the best cornbread I've ever had in California, it honestly reminded me of the cornbread I used to have in Hawaii. The coleslaw was delicious, and the barbecue baked beans were outstanding as well. The best part of our experience was Jennifer. She was amazing! Her customer service was outstanding, so warm and welcoming. Whoever hired her did an excellent job. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for serving us such great meals today!

    Haven't been here in a while but we weren't. The area and wanted quick bit to eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the last time we came here they did a lot of upgrades. It's like a whole new place . It went from a back I. The days truck stop to an upscale diner with TV's everywhere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The food was really good but a bit over priced. Nevertheless it was a good experience overall.

    Neat selection of pinball machines

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately can't recommend because the bathrooms were not good at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Like the concept, the diner connected to a gas station and a pretty well stocked convenience store-great variety.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter for the diner, great variety. The chicken tortilla soup was good. My breakfast burrito was okay. Good size. The coffee was great.

    Food is amazing you walk up to order for a truck stop probably one of the best foods and great portions

    Nice diner stop with Tesla charger. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You order at the counter with open seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a couple arcade games, son loved the pinball machine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their fried foods was exceptional, fish was seasoned and battered well. Tator tots and fries had great texture and not oily. For me the bobtail burrito wasn't my personal taste, but my parents enjoyed it. The portions are large and good value. Staff was very friendly and food gets brought to your table after ordering. Condiments, drinks, to go box are self service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun spot with good food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly and yummy on a Friday afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the clam chowder bowl and BLT sandwich with coleslaw. They offer shakes and pie slices too! & Thank you Vanessa!

    Mashed potatoes, meatloaf, spaghetti, tri tip sandwiche

    My husband and I come here all the time for breakfast and we decided to come for a little dinner and they never fail ! I love this diner. They show hospitality and cook great food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It feels homey ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    49er omelet w/bacon, ham, sausage, tomato, onion, mushroom, cheese, bell peppers. Served w/biscuit & country potatoes

    Order from the counter. Each plate was very plentiful and tasty. They bring the food to your table. Service is fast if you are in a hurry. But we weren't in a hurry, so we stayed for two hours and was only able to finish half of each of our orders. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I read that the place had been remodeled. It was very clean and the staff friendly and efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Merry Christmas December 25th 2019 korena and Tammy are here ready to serve we are open 24 hours a day

    Came in today and alisha was my server.I had the best french toast I had ever had.She was so attentive, always bringing me refills on my drinks.Checking to see if I need more napkins.And even offering something special at the end of the mail, I will definitely come back just to see alisha.And of course the food was so good

    Kimberly S.

    Korena's service was amazing! We were looking for a tasty breakfast while traveling with our husky. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only is there outside seating, but our well behaved pup was allowed to sit under our table inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nothing fancy, but good coffee and hardy diner food. We shared the corned beef hash plate and will be back for pie!

    Tri tip omelette with hash browns
    Monica L.

    The service at this area is really nice. We came here at 5am for breakfast and the convenience of it was great. I didn't even know this was here. It's a decent diner that serves hot food that is pretty good and has hospitable service. Breakfast is 24 hours and they have lunch/dinner options too. The waitress said they are short a cook so from 1230-5am they are closed for now. The tri tip omelet we had wasn't on the menu, so we ordered a tri tip breakfast and a side of veggies for $19+2.7 and the portion was great. I had the tri tip breakfast and it was a lot of food! Would recommend ! It isn't the fanciest and it isn't the finest cuisine, but I like it better than neighboring breakfast places for sure. More bang for your buck.

    Yummy chocolate creme pie. Very good!

    Love love love this place. Service is A1 always. However,…read moreDomingo is by far my favorite employee. He is so attentive and on top of it. He goes above and beyond. I will be coming back for the food and because of Domingo. We ordered beignets and biscuits. I recommend both but the biscuits are my favorite with the honey butter that comes with it. I got the Porch Mary Bloody Mary and it was good wish it came with a slice of bacon though. For my entree I ordered the ham Benedict. It's not my first time here and definitely won't be my last.

We were seated outside which was lovely, especially given the weather and the slight breeze. I appreciate that they offer an option for reservations. Many brunch places do not do those nowadays, which I hate. Every brunch requires a coffee. I appreciate that they do lattes here, rather than just hot or iced coffees. They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.

They have the perfect Thai-style steak salad, French toast, and Eggs Benedict. Those are the three dishes we always order every time we visit. The food is very reasonably priced considering the generous portions you get. The atmosphere and ambiance are also very nice. The outdoor area is a relaxing place to wait when the weather is good. They even have outdoor heaters in the winter and water sprinklers in the summer, which I think is very thoughtful. The only downside is the wait. It can take around an hour to get seated, but honestly, I can understand why. The food and service are amazing, and I would always be happy to wait and continue supporting this restaurant.

Our group ordered a variety of items and most were happy with their orders once they received what they ordered. One friend ordered hard eggs with a side of fruit but was served runny eggs with a side of potatoes. As soon as the server was notified, it was corrected. Eggs were still a little too runny for her, lol. Hubby and I shared a chicken and waffles and burrito. It's a vegan burrito, but decided to add cheese. We enjoyed both plates, specially enjoyed the complexity of flavors in the chicken and waffle with the fig syrup. Will say portions were huge. He ordered the old-fashioned, which was initially very buzzy. About halfway into it figured out it wasn't stirred, leaving all the sweetness on the bottom and booze on top. We opted for the first available table, which was outside. Could use a few more umbrellas for better sun protection, but we managed. Overall good experience, would be nice if they took reservations. Not sure if I'd do it again due to the long wait and everything was very good, but not exceptional.
