Under new ownership and unfortunately the food has gone downhill. Chicken fried steak is mostly batter, Paper thin steak, no sausage in the gravy and flavorless, hash brown is burnt, decaf coffee was in a tea bag vs fresh brewed tasted so nasty. Pancake tasted sour. I didn't enjoy anything on my plate except the over easy eggs. Too bad! I use to love this place. read more

I go here as often as possible ! Great food Fresh bakery products Best fried chicken around here! Maurey the owner is almost always there to greet customers and many of waitresses have worked there for years! Huge portions! Outside dining and carrying out! I have never had a substandard meal here!!!! read more

Bridgehead Cafe - Go Niners - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Antioch, California

I'm only giving 2 stars because the last 3 times I have gone here they have really messed with my order. The first time I got passed over to be seated for some guy. The second time they gave my food to someone else. The last time was this morning I order waffles and got French toast instead. I like eating in place like this but I don't know too many mistakes made. read more

I've had their breakfast before and after new owners- thankfully the breakfast hasn't changed a bit. I love it there. I've yet to give dinner a shot. Tammy and Inez are the sweetest! Always welcoming and we hope to see either of them anytime we visit. read more

What a great find! We've been there about 4 times now and have never been disappointed. They've really gone out of their way to hold the line on pricing while maintaining terrific service and food quality. Like other small local owned and run diners, expect a certain amount of delightful uniqueness. I took my mom there last week. She's 97 years old with dementia so this was an exercise in normalcy. We did this during the week when it wasn't so busy. That gave our server enough time to be accommodating and boy did she perform. She noticed that my mom was a bit overwhelmed with the tortilla soup (something she would have loved in years past), and the server volunteered an change to oatmeal which worked nicely for mom. read more

Wonderful diner food. Menu is great especially the deserts! Service was excellent and enjoyed the old country style atmosphere. They also have a nice outdoor area for people who enjoy eating outdoors. read more

Update for September 2nd 2023, lots of expansion has taken place. Outside dining has been revamped and is looking really great. Inside has been cleaned up and the booth seeting has been reupholstered. Bridgehead cafe now serves alchohol and stays open late for dinner. They also offer Friday Night Karaoke which is awesome. So the new ownership has definitely made lots of great improvements. The food was delicious as usual and staff was very friendly - BUT..... Now for the Bad. I would definitely give Bridgehead Cafe a D- or flat out F for this. Got there, was not greeted at all when coming inside, despite all the staff. It was Saturday Morning and lots of workers were there and even made eye contact with us when we entered. I guess I'm spoiled by their usual friendly greetings everytime I entered inside in the past. Well there was none of that this today. We took our seat and it was at least 45 minutes before we were ever even acknowledged, brought our silverware settings and asked for our drink orders. The new ownership probably does not want to hear that, but the initial entry experience was very poor today and I heard 2 other separate customers complaining about the long wait they had as well which lead me to leave this review. After placing my order, it was another 15 to 20 minutes before we received our food. Now don't get me wrong, the food was excellent, once we finally got our meals. The wait times and lack of or no customer attention at all for 45 minutes was horrible. At one point I looked at my watch and picked a time that if we were not greeted, I was just going to stand up and leave. Luckily we were finally greated after 45 minutes, our drink orders were taken and shortly after that or food order was taken. I would have at least like to have been greeted and maybe just let us know that they were super busy and it's going to be a while, rather than just leaving me and my other party sit there in suspense and getting agitated after 45 minutes of no, zero, nada customer service at all. There was plenty of workers, so someone could have easily went table to table with a friendly greeting and maybe quickly let everyone know about any delays. They just need to make improvements in this area and everything else was great. To summarize, great food as always, but lacklustre customer service and attentions to small details. read more

This place still has my attention, best food that I have eaten in a long time and this place is so cheap read more

This was the BEST breakfast I've ever had . Went with me and my husband and ordered their cinnamon french toast and a veggie omelette and it was amazing. 5 star service will go again read more

Great place to go for breakfast. After new ownership took over we had a small hiccup with service but later went back. The business was out the door, and Tammy one of the waitress took great care of us all the while racing around taking care of all her other customers. Construction going on does not impede with current restaurant functionality, for an addition which will bring a great atmosphere . read more

The food was fine but they were seriously understaffed the day I went. The ambience is also very creepy since it's right by a cemetery and the place needs a serious upgrade; everything is super outdated. The servers and host were very very kind however. read more

The food here is just so very good. Do yourself a favor and get the cinnamon roll. It is the best cinnamon roll I've had in a decade. read more

Classic Hometown Cafe Cute local eatery with a log cabin ambience. There was plenty of outdoor seating that complied with the social distancing rules. The outdoors seats were wooden picnic benches in front of this charming restaurant. The waitress was extremely hospitable. I ordered the homemade corn beef hash. I was surprised when I was offered hash browns or tater tots. I never had tater tots with my corn beef hash before so I had to try it. The corn beef hash was good not to oily and with the tater tots it was fun to eat. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. This is a great place for a basic breakfast. read more

Love the food and prices are reasonable, customer service is great! I would definitely recommend this place.

I come here every time I visit family in Antioch. It is always a popular spot. I love the breakfast. Trust me it will be worth the wait for a table! They keep the coffee flowing. Staff is always nice and food comes out pretty fast. My grandma always gets eggs Benedict (as long as it's not sold out) and loves it. I've had chicken fried steak and the gravy is great! Today I tried the country scramble; it was awesome! The gravy still had good flavor, eggs were fluffy. Generous portion for a great price. The tots had a great crunch. read more

Bridgehead Cafe - Country scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Antioch, California

Need a satisfying, hearty comfort meal?? Bridgehead Cafe is a great little spot in Antioch that serves generous portions of well seasoned old-fashioned foods. Tonight we LOVED the fried chicken meal. It tasted like grandma's homemade. I think we could have fed four people with our two meals! The complimentary mimosa was delightful and the crisp green salad was fresh and simple. Inez was our waitress and she was friendly, efficient and helpful. We will be back to try their breakfast this weekend! read more

This place is going downhill now that the new owners are here. Maybe the building wasn't in the best condition before when Murray was running the place, but his staff really cared about the people dining there. I been going there my whole life and it's also just down the street from me so it was a staple. I had a housefire couple years ago and Murray's staff insisted that my husband and I eat for free. Fast-forward to the new owners, went for breakfast and was extremely disappointed. The service took a very long time and the food was bland. The new owners don't seem to have very good social media presence as they seem to be trolling negative reviews (about being charged money for tapwater) with strange responses. All in all, I think my days of going to bridgehead Café is over. I hope Murray is enjoying his new endeavor but I will miss his restaurant. read more

I was so excited to revisit the Bridgehead cafe as I had heard they changed ownership and I feel every restaurant deserves to reorganize and start fresh. We came in on Saturday morning around 11am we were told to sit at any clean table and we did we were served ice water right away and we waited for our server to arrive as she came by our table she was flustered and I felt almost annoyed to have to take our order, my mom ordered bacon and eggs with tater tots and English muffin well toasted and I ordered the breakfast sandwich with hash browns and 1 side pancake. Our food took nearly and hour our server was rushing around the restaurant you could not really get her attention the young lady rolling silverware and taking care of her young daughter gave us better service she noticed our food was taking longer than usual ticket times and kindly brought us 3 little blueberry muffins she was lovely and I felt bad for her having to roll silverware and play mom all at the same time. We got our food and my breakfast sandwich had no cheese and the bacon was so burnt it was not edible. My mom's breakfast was just as terrible burnt bacon and burnt uneditable English muffin. I understand getting slammed and ticket times being unusually long, I understand new line cooks getting the swing of the kitchen what I don't understand is allowing food to leave the kitchen looking like something you would never serve to your own family. I have spent many years in the restaurant industry and clearly there was no management on site helping out staff during a peak time especially on weekends but what stood out the most was how your kitchen doesn't communicate with the servers and clearly no one works as a team. read more

My fiancé and I have been wanting to try this place for awhile! He used to go with his family when he was a child, I have never been. I am so happy they were open for to-go considering all that is going on. SO GOOD! The eggs benedict is one of my favorites I've ever had! The chicken fried steak was perfect. The service was amazing, they threw in a free cookie and brownie too. Will we be back? Absolutely! So happy to have this so close to our home I'm sure the parking lot is filled on the weekends, so we'll be sure to go early once the restaurants all around reopen for full service. read more

Since the last time I reviewed this place, they have not only kept up the consistency in food and ambiance, but they also fixed the bathroom problem. Their breakfast is large, cheap, and great. Their sandwiches are incredible. And I really recommend getting their cinnamon roll with butter is fantastic. read more

I have never been to this location, but I've had the best breakfast ever!!! The food was amazing. But the customer service was way beyond amazing. Host Ines was one of the best host I've ever encounter. She provided essential customer service and made me and my family feel at home. I'll definitely be back again. read more

My family and I love this little cafe. We discovered it when we first moved to Antioch 7 months ago. They've remodeled some, the outdoor seating area is so cute. The food is always delicious, the prices can't be beat and service is exceptional. Perfect little eatery for the family. read more

The food is really bad and the service is even worse the waitresses have a really bad attitude

I would put five stars but for some reason it wouldn't let me but your Cafe is a place that I've been going to for several years with our family and then with my new family my children and we love it I used to go there when Maureen used to run the place and you get the most food for the smallest buck and it was great food and he'd make sure that you got your food fast and it's kind of country style cooker extremely good I recommend this place 100%. Smile read more

Tammy, the server was amazing and so was the food. I had the French Toast and my husband had the Hungry Man's Steak and we will be back!

Stopped by @ 4PM (Tuesday) to grab an early dinner. Web site shows open M -Th 7 to 7 Found out that they only serve dinner Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So much for depending on their web site for hours. read more

Cinnamon Roll French Toast and even the Texas toast French toast is amazing. Denver omelet and chorizo and eggs are incredible to. Tammy and her crew makes your time there worth it by making everyone feel like family. Yes the building has been there awhile but mix in friendly service and a lot of smiles and all that fades into the family surrounding its known for. Good food good people. read more

THIS IS A 1 STAR POST!!!!!! NOT 5 star. You post 5 star it goes to the top. Yelp need to go by date not by 1 or 5 star. Once was a great place to go with lots of food on a plate, big mans meal. Few months ago got a child's plate not for a grown man more like for your kids, sad. Microwave tater tots. Eggs sucked and service slow WAY slow. Plenty of waitresses that was not the problem. The waitress we has was great! The cook was a mess, slow and don't know what he's doing. Heard other people complain. Today 48 minutes and no food. We left with out eating. Never to return. A real bummer this used to be the best place around. read more

Well is sure has changed .. Went there for dinner with the family and was told they ran out of Pepsi only had Dr Pepper and Diet Coke. The place was empty.I asked if the owner was there his daughter who works there says that he works at another job. I was given the dinner menu which only had five or six items on it,. .. Took about 20 minutes for us to get our order decided to leave with only three people in the restaurant and taking so long. It shouldn't have taken that long to take down our order.so we left ... read more

We figured that we'd come by to see how the place was doing under new management. We arrived on Sat around 11am, there were still a handful of tables available, so we chose a booth in the back. I believe the booths may have been reupholstered over the years, unfortunately they still need more cushion in the seats. The place was a bit crowded, so it took a while for someone to come by with menus, silverware, and to take our order. I decided to get the 2 Pancakes & Eggs $6.29, and a side of Hashbrowns $3.79. My husband got the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs $9.99, with a side of Biscuits & Gravy $3.29 & coffee $2.25 It probably took a good 20-30 mins for our food to come out. My pancakes/eggs came out, but I had to ask for my side of hashbrowns, which was all good. My husbands biscuits were rather hard and chewy, almost like they were previously frozen and reheated in the microwave. They only seemed to have 1 older waitress, and 1 cashier so it took a while to get things like a straw, extra napkins, and our bill. The new larger porch is gonna be really nice in the summer, but they left the huge Oak tree which tends to lose a lot of leaves, and acorns. read more

Cafe changed owners and new owners are doing it right!! Food is on point - delicious. Same menu but with some new food items added. Tammy still there and is now running the show: always there to greet you and for the regulars she knows your order!! They just started serving dinner - can't wait to try it. Beautiful new outdoor patio area great for large parties and days with beautiful weather!! read more

Horrible service!! Flys are flying around everywhere! We waited over 35 min for food to be ready and when we saw people who got there after us get their food first we asked about ours and our meal never got put in.. I would never recommend this place to anyone! read more

Not a local any longer. Born in Antioch and spend 18 years there. This was always a place. When I stayed few days a week in concord my brother and I would drive out and eat there now and then. Recently looked this place up to share link with childhood friend and checked out the menu. Seems instead of opening for evening/dinner times it's now open for breakfast and lunch. Prime rib seems gone. Read a review that stated not much is better than well done eggs, hash browns, and bacon. That's partly true. I see meatloaf in on menu. Replace bacon with nicely fried slice of meatloaf. Take a bigger step, roast a prime rib one day, retaining that gold prime rib fat, and make steak and eggs with eggs fried in prime rib fat. Not much tops that. read more

Growing up out chea' I would always pass by this place on the weekends. Boats n bikes parked out front, everybody grubbing. This place is popping in the summer for breakfast/lunch! I grew up in a family of 9, so we hardly ate out. But now?! I'm a grown a** man & I'm getting it, so I come here whenever I feel like taking my lil family out for breakfast! Biscuits n gravy? Smack! Chicken fried steak? Smack smack!! Ill never eva' eva' go to Denny's again!! Portions are generous, Murray the owner (he looks like Flanders from The Simpsons) is a cool a** dude, humble and works just as hard as his employees. Love this place. I'm crying now.. But they're happy tears!! read more

Sorry but no Cigar! Worst Hamburger I've had in a long time! Service was good . COVID-19 victim. Sorry I came here! Maybe things will get better for them as they recover. read more

Cute little cafe with a waitress who is so kind and works her butt off. She was hustling and serving all tables to the best of her ability with a smile and an amazing attitude. The food was decent I ordered a Turkey BLT but it didn't come with any lettuce for some reason with fries. The fries were okay, seemed like they were store bought and recooked. The service itself made me want to leave such a great review. I'd definitely return to explore their other menu items. read more

delicious simple breakfast food. the wait is worth it once the food comes out. at times they get very busy and food will be delayed and take a while but the food definitely makes up for it. been eating here about 5 years . propa to the new ownership for keeping this place great and affordable read more

best affordable restaurant ever, breakfast is delicious and simple my favorite spot overall.

Stopped in here morning after a fishing trip.ate outside and the weather was nice. Menu has a lot of items. I got some coffee served on one of those really thick ceramic cups. You don't see those like you used to. I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs, hash browns. The steak was not your typical Salisbury steak, but actually a pounded steak done the way it should be. Nice. Rye toast and crispy hash browns. Service was good, didn't have to wait around with an empty coffee cup waiting for a refill. I ordered my eggs over medium. My preference is over easy, but many times ordered that way you get partially uncooked whites so I usually say medium to avoid getting uncooked whites. No luck on this order. A bit uncooked. I did enjoy the overall experience but please be sure to fully cook the egg whites. Low heat and longer cook time as to not overcook the bottom Other than that, you did avoid job. I would eat here again. Tasty meal and ample portions read more
