what a great straightforward place to get breakfast - we're newly "seniors" and ordered off the menu as such - no complaints whatsoever - just great, and affordable read more

At first, it was a great find, food portion was good and service was friendly and quick. Coffee was fresh, didn't taste burned. Here comes the bad part.......... I observed an employee come out of the kitchen and enter where the restrooms are located. I used the restroom, someone was in the toilet stall and heard the person exit and leave the restroom. I followed right after and saw the same employee speaking to the female server. Very sad because the employee did not wash his hands. I won't be back. If the owner reads this message, you can send me a message and I'll describe the employee with the day and time of my visit. (I don't want anything free) It's too bad. I so much wished this was a place to stop in the future. read more

Quick stop on Petaluma for some brunch! Got seated as soon as we walked in. It took a while for our waitress to come by and take our order, but we weren't in too much of a rush. Felt very comfy in this diner and everyone felt welcoming. Got a stack of pancakes, eggs benny and the biscuits and gravy. I don't know WHAT they put in their pancake butter but it was delicious. It had like light orange peels and a zesty taste to it. Eggs benny was very standard eggs benny, but the biscuits and gravy was the star of the show. The portion sizes are pretty big and is affordable! Would def come again. read more

Great food. Awesome portions. Great service. Been here twice. Will return....servers were very attentive. Thanks guys!

This is a cute diner type of restaurant close to the Petaluma fairgrounds. I was seated immediately, a server came by shortly to take my drink order, followed by the waitress who took my order. I ordered a custom scramble with ham, swiss, spinach, green onion, tomatoes and mushrooms. It came with hashbrowns, and they had gluten-free bread, which I appreciate. read more

The menus say this place is called the Breakfast Station. We came in early on the 4th of July and it was pretty quiet. Ordered the brioche french toast combo with sausage and eggs and the Sr. Pancake combo with an egg and sausage. A couple of standouts here- the orange butter and the sausage. The orange butter was nice and tart and perfect with the pancakes and french toast. The sausages were juicy and seasoned well. Service was just right. read more

We brought friends! Enjoyed for a second time a good meal here at the Brunch Station on a Sunday morning. Happy to know our friends really liked their food too. I opted this time for the grilled ham & cheese with their seasoned fries. Omg, their fries were really really good! Yeah, get the seasoned fries! We were offered coffee refills often and service was awesome. Our friends say they are returning with their adult children as well. My only non-positive mention is about the Women's restroom. It smells like strong sewer waste in there so I hope they can somehow remedy that soon. Smells awful, but at least the stalls looked clean. read more

When you first walk in, it has an old timey wood cabin feel. There is a lot of seating room, plenty for families and friends. We were seated promptly when we walked through the doors, our waitress was polite and attentive. My boyfriend ordered the BLT which he enjoyed, the veggies were fresh, and the bacon was crispy. It's always nice to have a sandwich that doesn't fall apart! I ordered the French dip, which I was nervous for because I am a meat texture snob... and I can gladly say this was one of the best French dips I've ever had! The French tip does not come with cheese so don't forget to add it, which is no biggie, but the spice that this sandwich had was mouthwatering! I've never had a French dip with a kick, so it was honestly a delicious experience! *My only sidenote is that they have a huge mostly empty display case in the front... it would be so much cuter if you guys filled it with decorations* read more

Great little breakfast and lunch place. It was not very busy on a Monday morning and we almost did not go in. We were glad that we did. Inside has a pioneer and logging theme which is very cozy. You have a choice of counter or table seating. The service was excellent. The menu has all of the usual breakfast, brunch and lunch items. They also have some more unique items. I had the eggs Benedict with chorizo. It was outstanding! All the other items the group had were also great. Complements to the cook. Turned put to be an excellent find. read more

Wow, pleasantly surprised with the vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options here. Ordered a tofu scramble with mushrooms, red onions, avocado, Serrano peppers and subbed hash browns for black beans (no extra cost). The rye toast was amazing too. Best gluten free pancake around! Good coffee with lots of refills. Excellent service! read more

Fast service. We were seated right away. I would say the food was just OK. Didn't really like the chicken fried steak here and the biscuits were pretty dry so thankfully they gave just enough gravy to moisten them. read more

I came here last week and was expecting a lot more , I was shopping at the shopping center nearby and wanted some breakfast and the first place I saw was this restaurant, the service was a little less than ordinary , the atmosphere was just boring , if you want passable food maybe I would recommend this place but it just wasn't... notable , this was just a quick place to eat and then quickly get out. read more

All the customer service looks good. The food was not my chicken fried steak was cooked to the point. I couldn't eat it and my daughter didn't eat much of hers either. read more

I am a picky eater, particularly for breakfast, because there are so many breakfast joints doing the same thing. An OK review from me means the place does a reasonably adequate job, nothing extraordinarily good or bad. I ate here yesterday. Ordered the eggs benedict w/ hash browns. Got what I ordered, and it was adequate. I note my eggs benedict had no garnish on it as shown in the photos by another poster. I don't believe they even had any paprika or other spice sprinkled on top. They did, however, manage to poach the eggs "hard," which a lot of restaurants seem unable to fathom. The staff here is quite friendly, the place is clean and cozy, and I would visit again. read more

Petaluma Brunch Station, for me, is a breakfast spot that struggles to match the quality of its food and competence of its service with an extraordinarily inferior setting. I had read about the opening of this restaurant last year, and have had it on my radar to visit. When I read in the Argus Courier that the owners also renowned favorite spot in Marin - Half Day Cafe, it definitely piqued my interest. I've had many a good breakfast at that location, so to find something remotely similar in my town sounds promising. In summary, I think the food is very good. I think the service is very good. And I think they try to create a place people would like to come and enjoy a delicious breakfast or brunch. My problem is in the restaurant itself. Physically. A message to these owners or any owners in similar situation: the condition of your physical setting greatly influences the experience of your patrons. Simply put, your food, team and service can be top-notch, but if I'm kind of disgusted by where I'm sitting and condition of the restaurant, it just doesn't work for me. It's not a simple "cleanliness" issue. Although I will say, I was disappointed at the conditions of the countertop that I sat at having a greasy surface and fingerprints from previous patrons, it's the unresolvable layer of unpleasantness that exists upon everything inside this dated interior. I'm all about a "greasy spoon" if that's where I'm intending to go. I get that certain places have that warm, inviting sense of comfort. This is not one of those places. I understand it was formally "Lumberjacks" years ago, a place that would not have been of interest to me to try. The log cabin motif could be charming and inviting if done tastefully. However -- everything inside this place is tired and worn out. The counters, the tables, the chairs. But honestly, what really did it for me and made it impossible for me to see past the physicality of my experience and how it affected being able to enjoy my otherwise tasty breakfast -- there is an extreme lack of attention to detail on things that are in fact controllable compared to the brick and mortar. The utensils provided on each table that I ate my omelette with were flimsy and such a low grade quality that this alone would prevent me from being interested in coming back. Would ownership kindly invest a small sum of money to purchase utensils that are usable? Honestly, it's like they've been using the same utensils for the past two incarnations of this restaurant at this location. And they may be! I have used plastic "to go" utensils that have been more durable and inviting to employ in dining. The same goes for the tacky frosted plastic cup used for my ice water. Would it be too much to ask to suggest that some actual glasses be purchased? Can we place more than a single tiny napkin at each place setting? If I seem to be over critical, and that perhaps this restaurant should be seen as a place for entry-level, breakfast, and brunch -- the pricing on the menu is what puts this restaurant in a completely different bracket. I have no problem spending the money on good food and service. I just don't want to be disgusted by where I'm sitting. I explored the website for this restaurant also and was floored that they suggest that this is a place that you would bring a wedding reception! Are you absolutely kidding me? The restroom had a commode that was out of service, when I paid for my mail at the register the touch screen was filthy, and I didn't even want to touch it to sign my check. It pains me to write a review like this, but my hope is that ownership and management will take heed some comments, and make an effort to raise their game. It would be unfair to not remark about the food. I ordered an omelette with four items, which was nice to have the option for. I was disappointed that I couldn't get spinach, for example. However, I got cheddar, bacon, mushrooms, scallions. This was a nice combination. The bacon was crispy and firm inside my omelette. The omelette was fluffy and not runny, a positive. It was the right combination of all ingredients. I had hashbrowns that were well done by my request, and they tasted good. I also had some wheat toast, which was fresh and buttered. The speed of the service was tremendously quick as well. I remarked to a friend of mine later, that I probably could not have made and served one faster myself! I was greeted by kind staff. The waitress was very kind and had a welcoming smile. Another review on Yelp for this establishment commented that perhaps it was people looking for Lumberjack's still that were disappointed and giving bad reviews. I'm here to tell you that's not the case, at least all the time. It would be wonderful for the facility and environment to be as welcoming as the people and the food. read more

The food and service was really good, the tables and chairs were clean and the decor was nice. It was comfortable to sit and the portions were filling. The only request I have is a non-dairy option for cream along with the coffee, as we had 3 people who are lactose intolerant. Would highly recommend! read more

The site of this restaurant has been many different restaurants since I've lived in Petaluma. It took me awhile to actually try it now under its new name. I wish I had tried it sooner! The food is absolutely delicious. Very generous portions. (Too much for me. I always take half home) The chef makes fresh bread daily and they also sell it on site. The service is great! Fast service and very attentive all during our meal. Our waitress was so nice that we'll return not only for the great meal but for the friendly service! The parking is easy too! I highly recommend trying this restaurant. read more

I wanted to update my review because it seems this place is getting a lot of flack from customers who used to come to the previous restaurant, Lumberjacks, and are unable to appreciate the new restaurant. The food my family ate was high quality and delish. Also I ordered coffee and it was poured and refilled for me there was no "self serve" coffee urns. I too had sourdough toast, as did my kid, and it was quite possibly the best sourdough toast I'd had. It's not the kid you get in a loaf from the store, definitely artisan. It's sad that some people want to ruin a business reputation with false statements seemingly because they miss the old place. I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

Pretty typical bunch options. Very safe and lacks any sort of inspiration but decent quality. Pretty on par with a Buttercup or Black Bear. $4.50 to add cheese and bacon to my $15 burger seemed a bit excessive though. I don't remember going to lumberjacks but it's about what I would have expected from them. Right down to it being very lumberjacks themed with only the menu making it clear that its something else. It's a bit confusing actually because I think they are suggesting the word Station has to do with a train theme? But the new sign and logo is a farm? Maybe the few train things were part of the original lumberjacks décor, I don't know... But they could clearly use a branding consult. read more

My husband and I were going to see a movie in Petaluma and decided to eat breakfast there. The place used to be called the Lumber Jack. It doesn't look like that they put in any changes in their deco, still had the saws and axes on the wall. Same tables and chairs but they added a couple of televisions with news instead of sports, ya! Looks like a family runs the place, the wife (?) was our server, the son, cleans the tables and gets you started on drinks. The husband delivers your food. The menu was all of their own. I had the chicken fried steak with eggs and hash browns, and asked for them very crispy. My husband had the sourdough hamburger with fries. He said that the bread was delicious and finished everything. The chicken fried steak was big, crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. The eggs ( scrambled) were very fluffy and not dry. And the hash browns were so delicious that I didn't have to add anything to them. Very buttery which I love read more

Came by here recently and was pleasantly surprised by my visit. I recall not long ago when this place was "Lumberjacks" and since the change, the internal aesthetics, as well as a majority of the menu items themselves, haven't changed much. That being said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? What they've decided to do was focus entirely on breakfast options, so much so that they close after 2 PM. This, for me, is a bit of a sour spot, as my work prevents me from being able to get here at that time most days of the week. Their menu, while smaller than before, has a decent variety of options, which I made sure to sample a decent amount of: Their pancakes are fluffy, but not the fluffiest I've had. The egg sandwich was on perfectly crispy sourdough, and the Wake Up Scramble was incredibly filling! Despite the excellent flavors and quick service, our party did have two items come out incorrectly, but the staff were incredibly quick to replace the items without incident or delay. All in all, I'd say this place is worth a visit if you've got the time on your hands. And if you're gonna get a Mimosa, I'd certainly recommend the Strawberry flavor. read more

Tried the red chilaquiles, for a second I thought my taste buds were off because they were absolutely flavorless:( but my bf had gotten the same thing and he also agreed that it felt like we were given blended tomatoes w/water. Not taste. Very cute place, but they should really work on flavor. The fruit was also browning. Not fresh. read more

My family and I recently went to try Petaluma Brunch Station on a Saturday morning. I can't imagine that we'll be back. I was excited to see their menu included a tofu scramble, and that was my order. I'm a big tofu fan, and haven't ever previously had a tofu dish I didn't like... until I had this dish. It was the worst dish that I've probably ever had at a restaurant. The tofu clearly hadn't been drained, cooked, or seasoned. It was served with what seemed like canned vegetables. It was bland and soggy. It's a dish conceived by someone who doesn't eat tofu, and clearly cooked by someone who doesn't eat (or know how to cook/serve) tofu. Would strongly encourage others NOT to order this dish. My son got the kids pancakes and my husband also got pancakes with sausage. We also shared an order of hashbrowns. The pancakes were fine, the sausage tasted off, but the hashbrowns were perfectly crispy and delicious. I had never been to the previous restaurant here, but I imagine the decor hasn't changed at all. It reminds me of a Black Bear Diner with a more limited menu. There was plenty of seating and no wait on an early-ish Saturday morning. It was fairly toddler-friendly. The staff was not very attentive, but nice. read more

Me & dad have been going to this location every father's day when it was still Lumberjack's. This year it got a rebrand, and this place seemed to have a quick fall from grace. The kitchen and restrooms looked tired, well overdue for a deep clean. The extent of the "rebrand" was a new sign out front, higher costs, and no real improvements to anything. Corporate seems like it's doing their darndest to squeeze the life out of the place. Everything I got in my benedict was different degrees of overcooked. Bacon? Intensely crispy. Muffin? Blackened. Egg? Rubbery with no runny yolk. Oddly enough, the hollandaise was the most watery I've ever seen. I do want to say, the staff is still good, as they always were. They treat you amazing, and get your order out quick. read more

Hands down the worst breakfast I have ever had! The food tasted awful, the kids scrambled egg was so small, I think it was a quail egg. When we were seated, the busser just handed a pile of silverware (fork, knife, spoon for 6 people) to my wife. The hollandaise sauce was sour. The huevos rancheros just had stewed tomatoes dumped on top rather than salsa. Both my daughter and I have been feeling sick ever since we left the restaurant. read more

We just went there for Father's Day. It took such a long time to get a table and then to see the waitress. It wasn't even busy inside. Not good for kids. There's no fresh fruit. They put orange rind to the butter, my kid was so disappointed. She said it tasted bad. I got huevos rancheros for and it just cold tortillas with watery black beans and boiled tomato's with eggs. It was so bland, soggy and gross. Hands down the worst eggs dish I've ever had. Plus it was $17 after tax!!! Such a rip off. read more

very yummy taste like mommy's home cooked meals! service was quick and server was nice

Wow this this place is so cute, it's new and awesome will definitely go back. I love it so much

I stopped for breakfast after searching Apple Maps for "breakfast near me"; because the listing made it sound like my kind of place: a small cafe, with fresh coffee and traditional breakfast meals usually found in little roadside diners. Unfortunately, after ordering a 3 egg breakfast (over medium), with hash-browns (crispy), bacon and sourdough "toast"... I was severely disappointed. The eggs were fine, but the hash-browns were undercooked, the bacon burnt so badly it crumbled when I picked up a piece & the sourdough"toast" was so white, I doubt it was even NEAR a toaster or grill. I took a couple bites and simply left... chalking it up as a loss that won't be repeated. Even the "fresh coffee" was a joke, since it was actually "self-serve" and retrieved from the type of "pumped" coffee urns typically found in gas station/marts. I only took the time to write a review because I was disappointed enough that I felt others were entitled to hear of my experience before making a decision of where to eat locally. I will not be returning (and Yelp actually just notified me that it took down my original review), under the premise that: "it didn't look like your content depicted an experience at this location"... Uh... what???? Well, I hope THIS review makes it perfectly clear that I had "an experience at this location"; and, that I did not enjoy it at all. Thank you read more

Ordered eggs over easy with crisp bacon and hash brown potatoes. All were perfectly done... and really hit the spot. This restaurant is always clean and the service is attentive. They do need better signage. It's easy to drive by; they do have a private lot. Give them a try! read more
