Been going to Carlos' for 35 years for breakfast. Huge portions, yummy everything. I always get a veggie omelet. The hash browns are amazing and the toast has lots of butter and all cooked perfectly. I'm pretty picky too. Small restaurant, I believe has a lot of regulars. I buy my staff breakfast here so we pick up. Highly recommended. read more

Came here after looking at yelp post and food pic. I was sold on the pancake and omelet but was a let down. Pancake was rubbery the omelet egg was thin and they just put the veggies I. The inside and fold it over. Veggies never stuck to the egg. Sausage also was the store bought 99c pack at least to me. Just a breakfast you can cook yourself at home. The service was nice and friendly. Oh yeah don't use the restroom as it's outside and shared with gas station. read more

The owners of Carlos' Country Kitchen came to Kaiser Permanente to get their vaccines. Me and my coworker administered their shots, the wife pulled out business cards, and told us to come enjoy a free meal on them. We enjoyed her company and conversation, she was a comedy show all on her own. I came by the other weekend and almost OD'd on this extra large Enchilada Omelette with hash browns on the side. The daughter was my waitress and she was delighted to take my order. I couldn't help but notice all the regulars enjoying themselves with breakfast, coffee and laughter. Thank you Carlos' Kitchen I will definitely be coming back! read more

Cozy little breakfast/lunch diner. Been here for years and has the best breakfast in town! I always get the chicken fried CHICKEN! If you love a chicken fried steak, you're gonna go crazy for this. Just exactly the same but with chicken breast butterflied, battered and covered in country gravy. Carlos and his daughter still work there everyday. Come to where the locals go for good old comfort food. Always good service, big portions and Carlos is probably gonna stop by to say hello! read more

Carlos' is fine, nothing too exciting. There are better breakfast places around town. We showed up on a holiday, so it wasn't too busy. We sat down immediately and given our menu's. Our server came immediately and took our drink order and our coffee's came out fairly quick. That was pretty much the last time we saw anyone bring around coffee. We dang near had to beg for more toward the end of our meal. Anyway...back to he food. I ordered an omelet with hash browns. The omelet comes with four cheese slices, some of which were still cold in the middle. The hashbrowns were overcooked and paper thin. So essentially extra crispy shredded potatoes. As others have stated, portions were huge though. My wife gave me her bacon. Thick cut, but somewhat undercooked. Later she told me, that's why she gave it to me. Wow, thanks! I've been here a few times, I don't mind the setting. I actually kind of like the diner/dive atmosphere. I've just never had a real good meal here. We came today because the place we planned on going was closed (Labor Day) and Carlos' was open. Otherwise this place isn't normally a thought. This is my friendly reminder to myself, that this place can be skipped for future breakfast endeavors. read more

Food is always big yummy portions, no complaints there and the restaurant is very outdated with old tables and chairs, could use a lil update. Waitress was very nice and accommodating. She took order right away. Only problem is we waited a very, very long time for food to make it to the table, a table came in after us and was served at least 20 minutes before us. Then the waitress just started completely ignoring us, and not even looking at us now ? She even told another table that came in after us that their food would be out shortly never acknowledged us. Not sure what happened in translation, we never even bothered her? It was Mother's Day and busy but after 12. read more

Went today for an omelette and was shell shocked at the prices. Now I have not been there for awhile, so looked at the menu it was 22.00, what did they think this was a five star restaurant it is only average not again!! read more

I really like this place Mars Mount of old-fashioned diner with good food and a big portions and good staff

Came back here again, I feel as if I'm in a rut but other places just don't compare. This time I tried the enchilada omelette and it was amazing. My wife had the patty melt and it made me realize that I really have to try their burgers. We sat outside with our dog who is now well known there. At one of the other tables there was a homeless woman. Someone bought her a meal and she was treated with as much kindness and respect as any paying customer. I didn't think my opinion of this place could get any better but it has. read more

Carlos' Country Kitchen - General theme of this establishment - Diners Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I had never been here and thought I'd give this place a try for brunch. Let me start this with: I realize that taste is subjective. But... I ordered a waffle and I thought it would have fresh strawberries on it. What I got was a cold, soggy waffle with mushy, canned strawberry puree on it. I don't even like maple syrup as I find it too sweet so the entire thing was basically ruined. The scrambled eggs were rubbery and lacked flavor and the sausage was bland with a texture I didn't like. I ate about 4 bites of my entire plate and did not ask for a container. The waitress didn't question this but was otherwise attentive and pleasant, so do with that as you will. My companion had tough chicken fried steak covered in bland flour gravy. The scrambled eggs again were rubbery and overcooked and the (rehydrated potato) hashbrowns were undercooked. They also ate about 1/3 of their plate and left the rest. Having said all of that though, it was decently crowded and they clearly had (mostly elderly) regulars. So if a bland, greasy diner is your jam then maybe this is the place for you. I had to give an extra star because people deserve their hang out. Hey, if they like it and have established relationships, I want to support that. Also, prices were on the lower end and the portions were quite large. I know that's important to a lot of people so I want to give credit where it's due. But...if you're visiting Sonoma County and searching a fresh, flavorful brunch, there are a lot of other choices. read more

Definitely a great hearty portioned breakfast spot! The owner is always here making sure things run smoothly. Quick on coffee refills, and the food is cooked right in front of you. Gives you that homely vibe and you always leave with leftovers because the portions are hefty. read more

Carlos' Country Kitchen - Corned Beef Hash and Omelette - Diners Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I just left there and the food was not even fair. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs over medium and it was pretty bad! The steak was not fried or even a batter base to it just a steak smothered in gravy. The eggs were cooked over easy not medium. The waitress never came and asked how the food was or if I needed more water, she only showed up with the check in hand and asked if I was done. The restaurant is out dated needs better tables and chairs. read more

If you are looking for a dirty place to eat, this is your spot. The food is mediocre and the staff was just there. I haven't been here in at least 10 years, and now I remember why. The portions are huge so a star for that, the toast was good so another star for that. I asked about the orange juice and was told it was fresh squeezed... it definitely was not. $80 + tip for 3 people here was not worth it imo. I won't be back. read more

Food was great and was ready when I arrived. Small local diner with Carlos cooking the meals himself. Great portions. Would return!

Hot coffee served immediately, ordered an ham and cheese omelette which was served hot with tons of ham. Hash browns were as expected. No surprises here and other than outdated furnishings I would go back. read more

I'm honestly surprised by the high rating of this place, granted our waitress was very kind. Everything else was well below par. As I walked in I noticed a sigh as in all places mask required at all times. Well the staff may have got the memo, the gentleman who greeted us did not have on a mask, and walked throughout the restaurant with no mask including the kitchen. Its an open restaurant so seeing him constantly walk around with no mask around food was concerning and should have walked out when I noticed. My food came and I got my usual at breakfast joints, chicken fried steak. This honestly had to be one of the worst chicken fried steaks I've ever had. Definitely was beaten to a pulp, the put in the freezer, only to be over cooked on the flat iron. The gravy lacked flavor except for the over the top pepper. I didn't even try the eggs and the hashbrowns just look unappealing. The waitress was busy, however found time to fill my ice tea. Sadly I will not be back. I do not recommend this place for breakfast. Many other places here in town to go to. read more

When it comes to breakfast places I love old school! And that's exactly what Carlos Country Kitchen is! It. Has all the tried and true menu items and all tastes fanatic just like my grandma would make when I would visit her! They fill up quickly so make sure to go a little early to get a parking spot. They also have a little treasure chest for kids just like at the dentist! Who wouldn't love that? read more

I've been here a few times and always enjoy my meal. I'm particular to the eggs benedict and enjoy the creamy sauce and perfectly cooked eggs. I usually prefer the ham to be a little thicker cut, but it doesn't take away from any of the flavor. The country potatoes are pretty standard, but also tasty. My wife likes the hash (extra crispy). read more

Usually only go to get a cheeseburger if you want an old school style diner this is the place for you.

First time here!! Love the benches outside, and the family friendly atmosphere of this restaurant. They're busy, busy, busy. A great sign that the locals are here is that they all know Carlos. Everyone is smiling and busy. The food was ok. The biscuits and gravy were mediocre. The hard biscuits were drenched in gravy that was overly salted, had more pepper than should ever be used and was probably room temperature. The eggs were lost in gravy too. The bacon was good. I'll be back to try something else. This place has great reviews, so maybe chef was having an off day. read more

Carlos' Country Kitchen - First time. - Diners Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We were back in town and my partner decided to take me here as he grew up eating here. Wow I was not disappointed the food was so good and the serving size is amazing! The staff was very kind and I overall enjoyed my experience here I'd highly recommend their biscuits and gravy as well as the corned beef hash with eggs and home fries. read more

We tried this place because we wanted to try something new. Our waitress was nice but it took us well over an hour to get our food which was a sandwich and simple breakfast. Several tables that came in after us got their food before us and there was only two of us and an 18 month old. We waited so long that it cut an hour into our time at the Children's Museum. Food was average. Nothing special. Won't be going back. read more

$$$$ - Major Increase in Prices This place looks like a Truck Stop along West College - sometimes people ask you for money before you walk in, that's okay. Just tell the waitstaff and they'll take care of it. The ladies here rock - they are a hard working bunch, quick and polite. I like this place but I am upset that he has substantially raised the prices. Most Omelettes will run you $14.00 tax included!! That's a lot of money for this greasy spoon. And $2.65 for the worst coffee - what the heck is that about? There's a new place called Tributary coffee at the Rincon Valley Tap Room making outstanding coffee for $2.50 a cup and this place makes the worst coffee and charges more - I'm a bit outraged by it. A steak is $20.00 - not even close to the best beef. Like the food and the people - but we've got Hilton breakfast prices here - is that because the Hilton is gone?? I don't get it. read more

Carlos' Country Kitchen - More $$ Less food, veggie omelette, with hash browns used to be double this size. - Diners Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We used to enjoy this place, however our last experience we decided no more. I ordered a ham & American cheese omelette and it was tasteless, my husband had chicken fried steak and he said it tasted like ground hot dogs, yikes! The toast was thin and had some weird spread on it that didn't even melt right. Don't waste your money here, it's been 3 days since we've been there and I'm still pissed I wasted $65.00 on horrible food. Hang it up Carlos. read more

We have been here several times, but sadly it will be the last. My wife got a case of food poisoning from the Eggs Benedict and was throwing up a few hours later. She is better now, but she said never again and we all know she always wins. The food is normally very good diner-style food. I normally rate a breakfast place on their chicken fried steak, but Carlo's is just middle of the road. The problem is that the gravy is very bland. This last time I got the Denver Omelet, which was okay except I didn't like that they used sliced American cheese on top. I would have liked to see shredded cheddar that had some flavor. It was stuffed full of ham and peppers which I liked, but they need to do a lot better when competing with places like Omelete Express. Service is always good and really deserves two thumbs up. Unfortunately, we go for the food, so the service cannot carry the restaurant on its own. We probably would have come back if it wasn't for the food poisoning issue, but my wife says no. Sorry, Carlo. read more

Carlos' Country Kitchen - Eggs Benedict with a side of Salmonella. - Diners Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Ah, today I was able to get my burger fix. Carlos' country kitchen is located next to a gas station and a gravel plant is nearby, this place is what you would consider a dive, hole in the wall... locals place. I come here for the burgers and they never disappoint! The burger is a fresh (the owner goes to the nearby store every day to get his meat), it is juicy and so very tasty every time. The fries are ok, but seriously it is not what I go there for. Their ranch dressing is the bottled variety, so no good marks for that. It's an open kitchen with lots of activity, we've been going here for many years and Carlos is always so welcoming. One of the down sides (well maybe not for my wasteline) is they are only open for breakfast and lunch. My wife got the patty melt and said it was SO tasty! Definitely my all time favorite burger place!! read more
