    Shasta Veggie Omelette with hash browns and toast
    Julie W.

    Ordered a 2-omelette Shasta Veggie Scramble with no sides because I wasn't in the mood for a side and bread. It had cut up veggies and cheese and it actually wasn't bad. I had read some reviewers stating that the food was bland, but my guess is because they are so used to very seasoned/salty foods. I, however, eat fairly healthy and rarely eat out so this was actually not too bad. It wasn't salty and within my ballpark of what I would normally eat at home. The rest of my party enjoyed their meals as well with one having bacon and hash browns, others having eggs with cheese, and pancakes. They had also stated that the coffee was delicious. The waitress was very nice and helpful. The inside of the restaurant is what you would expect from a diner. Not overly decorated, but seating was comfortable. The restaurant also has a shop where you can purchase stuffed bears and desserts, such as cream pies. I was tempted to try one, but thought maybe at another time. Hopefully will return again in the future to try another dish like a sandwich.

    Upon entry is a beautiful coffee bean aroma !!! Passing up tables of large portion plates. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. But the food was delicious and the waiter Ms.Wendy put us on the specials and her recommendation that didn't let us down. Beware: that homemade spicy pan sausage is very spicy!!! But really good

    Tomato Soup of the Day (150-650 cals.)

    What a cute lil diner. I love that the menu is a newspaper that apparently updates, staff were very friendly and attentive and food was great overall. I enjoyed my meatloaf and they had an option for a dinner size or lunch size, but the waitress was kind enough to inform me that if I wanted a cup of soup I might as well get dinner, so I did. They do soup of the day which I find really fun, today's soup was tomato I greatly enjoyed each bite. Onions were good and I was able to substitute my potatoes for hash browns cause I was feeling it. My friend even got to sub his soup of the day for chili. Very friendly and accommodating on how you want to order/eat. Overall would def come again to try other stuff on the menu! P.S. I will say I was not a fan of the cornbread, but everything else was delicious!

    The lunch and the breakfast is amazingggg here! I've been here several times and they always do an excellent job at what they do. The servers are always nice and the food is always good. The overall vibe of this Diner is very comforting and it reminds me of being in a warm cabin. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

    Welcoming hostess and staff! Let's share what the food is about: *Chicken Avocado Club: 5/5 *Chicken sausage scramble: 2/5 - although it was supposed to be on the healthier and it was a lot of food and the egg whites were overcooked/mixed with a little yolk. It also had a lot of cheese. *Cinnamon Roll French Toast: 3/5 - they had a nice portion, but I think it needed more frosting. *Southern Scramble: 4/5 - not much to say here except that the biscuits are really, really big. The place was really quiet. There wasn't a line when we came in. We really enjoyed our food because of the service. We will definitely be returning and appreciate everyone for being so kind and friendly.

    OUR Biggest - The GRIZZ, check out those hash browns.

    The food was great, especially the hash browns with cheese and bacon!! The burger had bacon chopped up on it so you got bacon in every bite. The pancakes get a thumbs up. Brigette our waitress talks fast but had a good attitude.

    Chicken Fried Steak Omelette (1170 cals.)
    Marian G.

    We came in on Saturday morning and the place was packed. There was a 25 minute so we opted to eat outside. Our server, Kim, was pleasant and attentive. Although the restaurant was packed it was not too loud walking through to the outside dining room. The portions were large and we couldn't eat all of our food. The biscuit itself was a meal! And both dishes weee delicious. There is an extensive menu so you can order pretty much what you want. We will definitely be back.

    House salad (I had already eaten a cucumber slice)
    Isaura C.

    We have been here for breakfast and it was good. We stopped by for dinner and the food was pretty sad. We ordered the chicken fried steak, chicken strips, and kids chicken Alfredo. The chicken fried steak had ground beef texture with a really hard coating. The chicken Alfredo was dry and the noodles looked and felt old. The chicken fried steak came with a house salad and that should have been an indicator of how the rest of the food would be. It was missing all the regular "house salad" stuff. Place was pretty lonely, I thought this would be a good thing because mornings are always so busy. Now we know. Come for breakfast but nothing else. The staff was nice and the fountain drinks were great.

    Build your own with link sausage, eggs, and red white and blue pancakes (upcharge jut worth it)

    Food quality is not consistent. Sometimes it is delicious. Other times the food is cold and bland.

    I've been a regular at Just Love for over two years now. My little guy and I head there every week…read morefor our coffee group. We always have a great time and everyone is always so friendly. There are many regulars that we see and speak to every week. That's how you know people like a place and feel welcome... they keep coming back. Crystal (the owner/manager) is kind and wonderful. She is on top of things and I've seen her do every job from computer work to straightening up to helping cook in the back. She seems to be the type of person who is willing to do whatever needs to be done. She also seems to have a great relationship with her staff and that's also very important. Manuel is very friendly and helpful. He's knowledgeable about their menu and always remembers what our friend likes to drink when she forgets what it's called. I love the openness and space. There's a couch and chairs in the back if you feel like lounging, plenty of tables in the front for eating, working, or just sitting at. There are games that people can play although sometimes children get ahold of them and pieces go missing. There is also a little kids play area which is golden when you have a toddler. I love that I can sit and have my food/coffee and also keep an eye on my little guy while he plays. It's a wonderful place to meet with people or to just take your kids when you need to sit down with a cup of coffee while they play. They have a good variety of drinks on top of the seasonal offerings. The food is good, and I kind of love that a lot of it is made in a waffle iron. It makes me want more waffle shaped food. The grilled cheese is made with sourdough bread and cooked in a waffle iron. It has these little crispy bits that are heavenly. One of my favorites is the sausage egg and cheese biscuit with a side of gravy. It's also prepared in a waffle maker and has those little crispy bits on the edges. So so good! So yourself a favor and give it a try.

    This is a great local spot! The food is good quality and the staff is welcoming…read more The restrooms are also well kept. I like ordering the white mocha tiramisu iced or hot coffee and the avocado which I add scrambled eggs.

First, I have to give a huge shoutout to our waitress. I wish I had gotten her name because she was absolutely delightful! She was so personable, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Great service and even provided some jokes to lighten up the mood with the girls. Lol. To drink, I ordered the Rejuvenate for a little morning pick-me-up, and it was refreshing and just what I needed. For my meal, I had the Bravocado Toast, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our waitress also insisted we try her favorite pancake--it came topped with candied walnuts (and another topping I can't quite remember!), and I'm so glad she did. I'm typically a waffle girl, but this pancake may have converted me! It was incredibly fluffy, light, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Overall, this was an excellent breakfast experience from the food to the outstanding service. If you're in the area and looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot, Snooze A.M. Eatery is definitely worth checking out.
