Great Service....My party of 4 enjoyed their breakfast! I would come back again The pancakes were hella good. I would recommend getting the hash browns well done. Other than that everything was it 2nd VISIT: 11/11/18 Went back today with my hubby!! 3 stars today because my husband gravy was not even at room temp The silverware was not cleaned by hand. It had stains on them. So I dipped them in hot water. By the way I prefer butter not margarine on my toast. Why are using margarine or butter spread in 2018? Butter makes everything taste better. read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Simple and wholesome food food critics and fussy folks will always find faults, but I've eaten here for 33 years. Always hearty and loved. read more

I've lived in Antioch for almost 30 years and have never tried this place. Boy did I miss out all these years. We had breakfast on Saturday. We ate outside, but the service was like we were eating inside. Our waitress was always checking on us and refilling our coffees. Food was simple but good and reasonably priced even after Covid when lots of places have increased their prices. Service was great, food was good, price was reasonable, so what more can you ask for. The place was busy with lots of customers for dining in and takeout, but the quality of service never changed. Definitely going back soon. Recommend to give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food is always good and hot! Love the intimate location because you can just call the waiters over easily and they're very attentive.

We have been eating at Bridgehead Cafe in Antioch for the past 20 years and the food is always wonderful. The service is outstanding, and it's a friendly place to go and have a meal and share with friends. Raul, the new owner,is fantastic, and basically has kept the menu as it was when Murray was there. He is adding new items all the time. If you have a chance today, Easter Sunday, they're having glazed ham with breakfast and an Easter egg hunt at noon for the family. Enjoy everyone and Happy Easter. read more

Tis the spot for breakfast Joes Scramble is on point. And the Chicken Fried Steak. Wow!

This place isn't good at all. I ordered a waffle and bacon. It wasn't even in the slightest warm and the bacon was thin, extremely salty, and hard. I think it had been sitting out for a while too because it wasn't even warm either. I didn't even eat my food. My boyfriend got an omelette with tater tots. The omelette was at least warm, but the tots were cold. The place is dirty and cold! The waitress tried to squeeze between my chair and the person behind me and said, "I'm sorry. I'm trying to squeeze through, but I had beans last night." WTH? read more

While growing up in Antioch, I never had the pleasure of eating at the Bridgehead Cafe. Yesterday, after a visit to the cemetery, I ate breakfast there with friends. It was great!! Wonderful old fashioned diner style atmosphere. Our server was kind and attentive. The breakfast was delicious - had linguisa, eggs, rye toast, hash browns, coffee - all excellent size portions too. I wish I had realized this hidden gem 20 years ago. We will definitely be back again. read more

Happened to be in the area and peeked on Yelp that this place was good for breakfast. Many of the patrons seemed to be regulars and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food on the other hand was so-so. I ordered corned beef hash which looked and tasted like ground beef. I chose fruit as a side order and it was canned peaches. Was expecting actual corned beef and fresh fruit. I'd return to try other items on the menu if I found myself back in the neighborhood. read more

First time here is since the new owners took over. Was expecting the same as before them. First thing they answered the phone and told me to HD. They never came back on the phone. I called back and finally got my order in. The omelet was way undercooked. Very bland. I will try one more time. Hopefully it was just an off day for them. read more

First, parking can be a bit of a stretch. Carpool if you can. We entered the building and was greeting by a friendly family like staff- whoa! It was one of those moments where you feel like you're part of the town, team, family, etc. We immediately felt like we made the right choice in our breakfast adventure. We were promptly seating in a booth that felt like many many many years of good home cooking was about to be presented. Sara our waitress was delightful and prompt. Menu choices were made and Sara was super accommodating and helpful. What a dream! So then... the food came. Everything was fab! You can't go wrong here! 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

New owners thought i would give it a try. Dinner on a friday evening only about 8 other people (3 tables) Menu seams too big for what they xan do. Im not going to nit pick all the little things so ill just get to the main points. The fried Mozzarella sticks were very good bit a bit salty my biggest complaint is that they dont have marinara sauce with them. I ordered the Pork chop dinner with mashed potatoes and corn two of my favorite sides. However for a place that identifies as a classic diner it used instant mashed potatoes the corn was old and the pork chops were tough and salty AF. I ate just a bit over half of one and that was all i could handle. My wife had the chicken fried steak which was a bit better but the same sides. Her soup was surprisingly good broccoli mushroom. We may give them a try for breakfast before i write them off completely. 3 out of 10. Service was good, we had a very attentive server. read more

After having breakfast here for a few years, they changed ownership recently . My most recent experiences there will be my last. Last time the new owner was running around the dining area, chasing her baby and being very loud. Serving food with the baby on her side, reaching for food. This time, it wasn't crowded. They added big televisions in the dining area. It actually took an hour to get our food. We had started to leave and they brought it out. The eggs were brown and dry. They burned them again. The fake butter wouldn't melt. The cheap syrup was bad. Just a terrible breakfast. It is freezing in there . The new owner was there, he was with his family. They were a large party in a small dining area and were very loud! Just a terrible dining environment. Spare yourselves and go elsewhere. I think they spent their food and server budget on the TV's. read more

We were in Antioch for the first time ever and wanted breakfast and, of course, consulted Yelp. Bridgehead came up and we drove over. This place is what breakfast is all about. It's the anti-IHOP. The food, homestyle no-frills country breakfast, was perfect. The service was phenomenal as well. Our server was chatty and friendly and helped us navigate the menu so we each got exactly what we wanted. It was a throwback for sure. It was also cool that the owner went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied up to and including giving us great directions out of town (that were better than Waze). We will definitely be back even if it means driving to Antioch for the expressed purpose of just having breakfast at the Bridgehead Cafe. read more

I have been here twice now. Once for breakfast and once for lunch. The biscuits and gravy was really good. Very soft biscuit that held up to a mountain of gravy. Also had the eggs Benedict but the hollandaise was a bit thick. In my second trip I had the Club sandwich and it was huge, I was only able to eat half of it. They do not skimp on the portions so the plates are huge. The staff are amazing, some of the best customer service. The servers have great attitudes and are always smiling. read more

Arrived for breakfast on Sunday morning. Cafe was packed, yet we were seated immediately. The waitresses were the sweetest! Denise was our waitress, she took great care of us. The food is soo reasonably priced. Tasty food was served in timely fashion. What a lovely family diner, if you are local, stop in for some great food and service. read more

A neighborhood staple . Since the new ownership, it's not open as much. I do take out every so often. If they painted and ripped up the filthy carpet from decades ago , I might eat in ..... It's good homemade food , grumpy staff that's been there forever, but tolerable....if they gave it a face lift inside I'd feel comfortable dining in.... read more

Good service , good food , nice place with TaterTots !! And Crinkle cut Fries !!! For Breakfast and Lunch .

Thank you so much Bridgehead Cafe for the delicious breakfast and free brownie! When my boss asked me where we should order breakfast from for our meeting I told her we should try and support local businesses here in Antioch. I'm glad we chose you guys! My country fried steak and hashbrowns were delicious! read more

Great food, great service, friendly atmosphere. Thx Tammy! Looking forward to seeing your remodel!

Service and prices are 5 stars! Went for lunch and got the French dip and club sandwich. French dip bread was delicious but there was probably 2 slices of roast beef. Club sandwich was all lettuce and bread. Looks like they used 2 slices of bacon for the whole sandwich. We sat outside, tables were dirty and the baskets that had creamer and ketchup were baking in the sun. read more

Country Scramble was delish as was the Country Fried steak. This is a great place for a relaxed atmosphere sit down meal

Went here w/ boyfriend. Was ignored. Even people at other tables told them we were waiting for service. They gave some excuse as to why they were not helping, but still did not offer assistance, so we left. I don't know why they came around several times and took others orders, but their avoidance was noticeable to us and others. Oh well. PS. I don't know if it was racism, buy I was the only black person there. ( BF is white. Fyi) read more

Just had a great breakfast fresh food great price and best of thank you Tammy your the best server

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

The food, hospitality, and atmosphere is all what you would expect. Perhaps a long wait, but who is complaining on a Sunday afternoon.

Date: Saturday, May 27, 2017 Time: ~8:45 - 9:30am [Scroll Down to the end for TL;DR summary] - R E S T A U R A N T A E S T H E T I C - Murray's Bridgehead Cafe resembles that of a quaint little rustic-style American cafe located off of E. 18th Street in the older part of Antioch. This place reminded me of those small town dining places that are surrounded by nature up in the woods, where locals consistently gather on a daily basis for good food and equally pleasant company. Most customers seemed to frequent this joint often, where they are well acquainted with the establishment's owner and employees. The entrance is located off to the side facing the outdoor seating area. The entryway into the building is narrow. The place is made of wood and decorated with wooden trinkets and old fashioned metal tools that hang on the walls. - P A R K I N G - The parking lot is fairly average in size and can become full fast after 9:00am on Saturdays. - S T A F F / S E R V I C E - Service was also average in terms of wait time. Although we arrived around 8:45am, it didn't take long to be seated; however, the wait time for our food to arrive after our order was taken took a little after 20 minutes--not a complaint from us!! Our server, Lusanne, is a very delightful individual with a courteous personality. She truly cares about each customer and it shows in how she interacts with everyone she meets. There was also a gentleman, whom I am assuming my be Murray the owner, who also kept customers happy and the cafe running efficiently. He didn't speak with us except when we went to pay our bill, but he makes it a point to say hello to the cafe's regulars. - F O O D R E V I E W - Not sure about Pipo, but I personally do not eat breakfast often, and when I do, I eat rather light. That being said, we both ordered from the back of the menu for "Lighter Appetites". Pipo ordered the 1 Egg Cheese Omelette which comes with hash browns and one slice of toast. I ordered the 1 Pancake & 1 Egg that comes with 2 link sausages. (For my option, there was a choice between 2 slices of bacon or 2 link sausages). Between the two of us, we shared our breakfast and tried both dishes. The cheese omelette was literally just an egg and cheese omelette, nothing more. The hash browns were typical and the wheat toast was good -- it came with butter. The scrambled eggs were moist and fluffy, while the pancakes were airy, light, and well made. The link sausages were nice. Personally, I would've liked to have a little more crust or browning on the outside of the sausages, but Pipo liked them as they were. The food was delicious and the lighter appetite option was the perfect choice for us. We were well fueled and ready for our day, but not overly stuffed or bloated. - P R I C E - Both meals cost $6.99 each for a total of $15.21 (plus tax). - C O M M E N T S - This was Pipo & my first time trying out this Cafe. One of our goals whenever we hangout is to find places in the area that we haven't tried yet, so we yelped breakfast/brunch places and decided to drop into Bridgehead Cafe. From what we noticed, the business seems to get crowded around 9:00-9:30am. - R A T I N G - 4.5-5/5 as the food, service, and atmosphere was great. We both had a good experience and will be returning and bringing friends. - T L ; D R - American cafe, rustic, friendly staff, breakfast, delicious food, average wait time, good customer service, indoor seating, outdoor seating, people friendly, family oriented read more

Great food and fast service. The menu has something for everyone, with a excellent selection of desserts.

Excellent old school diner that has been in Antioch for a very long time with fantastic service and food. Most popular for breakfast, but they also serve lunch and dinner. The owner is great and is usually there making sure everyone is happy and taken care of. read more

We eat at the Bridgehead Cafe every week. The employees are very friendly and the food is delicious.

2'd attempt to solicit this Cafe & it's obvious that the new owners are needing additional help, as we waited outside as directed , then move inside & still no assistance, so we left. read more
