    Spicy sausage breakfast sando with hashbrowns.
    Rodney B.

    Carla's is located on the south side of town, right off of Union, south of Taft Hwy. The location is in fact owned by Carla. The small little place is a staple for the locals I. The area and has a homie/country feel. I would say it holds about 40'ish people. Carla's has a great menu and they'll probably make anything for you, when it comes to breakfast or lunch. You'll have to try the spicy Ruben or the biscuits and gravy, which comes in three different sizes, but almost anything else, regarding breakfast or lunch, is delicious. I don't think I've ever been served by anyone else, other than Carla. She is friendly and will help you with your decision if needed. It is a reasonably priced breakfast or lunch and definitely cooked to order. Need to take more photos but I've easily been here half a dozenish times, for breakfast and lunch, and can definitely say it's a great place.

    This is a great diner and reminds me of the many one-of-a-kind (because each has its own feel) diners along the east coast of the US. And with the term great diner comes the requirement for a solid breakfast. Yep, that's what I got here, a solid breakfast of scrambled eggs (scrambled and cooked just right), hash browns (tasty), bacon (crispy), white toast (toasted), and a nice cup of coffee. Service with a smile. I see why the locals come back for more.

    The food was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the 2 eggs, country potatoes and pancake. My hubby got the linguica and eggs with hash browns.

    Found this on a crazy whim running errands. We drove by about 3 times while our running around and it was packed, then empty, then packed again. Which told me people where coming in turns. So our final trip around we decided to stop. Best decision we made. Parking area is rough but being outside of town in a very farmy area it was expected. Now the inside is a tiny diner and had all the charm of a mom and pop diner. They were full but we were still able to sit at the bar. Coffee was delicious and the breakfast we chose was beyond expectations. You can see the cooks and you knew this was freshly prepped and cooked. We are definitely coming back.

    This morning where a lifelong friend and I dined at this small nondescript restaurant on South Union in Greenfield. The interior was inviting, the food was amazing and the service was spot on in spite of a packed restaurant of locals by 8:00 AM. Carla's is highly recommended and we will definitely be going back in the near future!

    The food was delicious, the Customer Service was always on point, I will be returning, impressed with the flavor and portions. as well as the price.

    Chicken fried steak.  It was very good

    If this place wasn't so far away from our house, it would be my new favorite place for breakfast. On the other hand, if it was closer I would probably be on my way to being over 300 pounds. Anyways, this place is a bit out of the way, but worth every extra mile to get there. The place is clean, cozy, and full of locals the staff knew by name. I can tell you the chicken fried steak is one of the best in town, plenty of gravy, good crunchy batter on the steak, and perfectly seasoned. Wife ordered the veggie breakfast burrito and added bacon and she said it was one of the best breakfast burritos from a sit down restaurant she has had. She did wish she would have asked for them to add some sautéed jalapenos as well. Service was kind and efficient. We will be making the trek over there again real soon..

    Breakfast and lunch

    Such a charming place!! Carla is warm and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! What a great little hidden gem. I can't wait to go again.

    Sometimes you just need simple food done right. That's what you get at Carla's Cafe. This hometown favorite on South Union just south of Taft Hwy, is great for either breakfast or lunch. You can generally find it filled with locals who know they get a good meal for a fair price. You won't leave hungry. My wife and I chose the Clubhouse sandwich, turkey, ham, bacon, mayo, and tomato served on white bread ($13.25). It's enormous. Carla put it on two plates for us with a healthy serving of fries (I don't know if you can use the term healthy next to fries, but I think you get my drift). This is one of those sandwiches that is simply too big to take a bite out of and keep it all together. But, I figure, that's why she gives us a fork. I had lemonade and the wife enjoyed a cup of tea. This is a place you can sit, chat and enjoy your meal. You really feel like you're around your neighbors and, well, you are.

    Breakfast sandwich with sausage and potatoes are delicious! The cafe is adorable inside. Fast service and delicious food. Carla is a sweetheart! This will definitely be a go to breakfast place for us!

    Chicken fried steak, eggs over easy, hash browns, biscuits and gravy. Coffee

    I tiny country diner just minutes yes from the city. I experienced a warm welcoming atmosphere with regulars and people from the road, old 99, outside. The service was good, as was the chicken fried steak and eggs I ordered. The big breakfast included biscuits and gravy for my choice.

    Sausage Patty & Eggs with biscuits and gravy. Very good!

    Great food and great service! Worth the stop on my drive up north. I will be back again

    This is honestly probably the best breakfast/brunch spot in town for the food. They have such an…read moreextensive menu with different food options for everybody. If you love breakfast foods, you definitely can't go wrong by going here. I always struggle with what to choose because everything is so good! If you have a sweet tooth, the B-N-W waffle which has banana, Nutella, and walnuts for the toppings would be a great choice. The chilaquiles with any choice of meat is incredibly flavorful and one of my favorites on the menu. I also appreciate their extensive drinks menu as you can choose anything from a michelada to a latte. At this specific downtown location, the service is always great. The servers are friendly, attentive, and always make sure you're satisfied with your food/drinks.

We never been here so we just picked randomly on the menu! We got their Three Flight Mimosas with Original, Cranberry, & Strawberry. They were pretty good and refreshing. We also got the Banana and Berry Pancakes and made it a combo to get eggs and sausages in the side, the "Hot Mess" which is two pancakes, a waffle, a chicken, French toast, and an egg stacked on top of one another, and potatoes on the side! The food was amaaazing. Shout out to the chefs today because there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food. Seasoning was great, cooked great, it was filling, pancakes were soft, it hit the spot! And our waitress Crystal was the sweetest. She was doing a great job taking care of us and many others in the dining room. It was also kept clean, the employees made sure to clean up ASAP when someone left, they're all working hard. 10/10 experience.

The vibes in the new space are absolutely immaculate. There is so much more energy here, and the decorations are incredibly cute. It's the perfect backdrop for a killer meal. The Main Event: This time around, I went with the En Fuego Burger. This beast is loaded with a chile-spiced beef patty, pepperjack, sharp cheddar, thick-cut bacon, chipotle mayo, pepper relish, pickled jalapeños, and a mountain of fried jalapeños + onion strings. The Flavor Profile: This burger delivers on every level, but those fried onion strings were to die for. For the side, I got the sweet potato fries, which are served as big, thick-cut wedges. They come paired with a duo of spicy ketchup and a marshmallow dipping sauce. Switching between the two was amazing, the marshmallow sauce actually makes the fries feel like a dessert. The Drink: To wash it all down, I ordered the basil lemonade, and omg, I need to figure out how to recreate this at home. It's exactly what it sounds like, crisp, refreshing lemonade with a perfect herbal basil finish. The Verdict: If you loved their old spot, the new location takes everything to the next level. Between the upgraded atmosphere, the dessert-like fries, and that refreshing lemonade, I will absolutely be coming back here again and again.

    We were so excited to visit Moo Creamery's new location, especially since we've enjoyed dining…read morethere many times before. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark from start to finish. I immediately noticed that my favorite dish, the shakshuka eggs, was no longer on the menu. Thinking it might just be a seasonal change, I decided to try something different. I ordered the carrot ginger soup, beet and goat cheese salad, and my usual favorite cocktail, the Pear Necessities. The cocktail was the first disappointment. It tasted completely different from what I've come to enjoy, none of the smoky mezcal flavor and none of the sweetness from the pear liquor that made it a favorite. I figured it might just be a new bartender and tried to brush it off. The carrot ginger soup was just okay. I found myself searching for both the carrot and ginger flavors, neither of which really stood out. The beet and goat cheese salad was fine, but it's hard to get too excited about a salad. Overall, the food felt subpar compared to what I've come to expect from Moo Creamery. The restaurant itself was also surprisingly loud, making conversation difficult and adding to the overall frustration. It was hard to get our waitress's attention throughout the meal, and service felt disjointed. The most disappointing moment came when we noticed my son's chicken strips and fries sitting on the counter for 13 minutes before they were finally brought to our table. By then, it was difficult not to question whether the food was still as fresh and hot as it should have been. We came in excited to experience the new location, but between the noisy atmosphere, inattentive service, and food that didn't live up to Moo Creamery's usual standards, we left feeling disappointed. Sadly, I probably won't be returning. It's hard to justify giving it another try when there are so many other restaurants in town that consistently deliver quality food, service, and a better overall dining experience.

    SMITTENS STAPLE IS THEIR ABILITY TO MISS THE FLAVOR IN EVER SINGLE DISH…read more Update: coming back after some palate development... smitten is one of the most tasteless restaurants in town. Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.
