Normally a good place to eat but today they where off. Got there around 1pm and maybe 4 tables with customers so we thought we would be in and out quick .. No, took 20 min for someone to take our order. We sat there and watched them talk and make up napkin bundles. 45 min later we got our food and the breakfast plate was cold and my wife's salad was room temperature. Dirty plates started to pile up and servers would walk by but not pick up the dirty plates we pushed to the edge of the table,finally the busboy came by and asked to pick up the plates we told him yes but then he took a dirty towel and wiped the table down while we where still eating so with the smell of the dirty towel we pushed the final plates aside and waited for our bill. Maybe it's this group of people working the Sunday shift but I will think long before coming back... read more

I come here every Sunday in the late morning and although it is busy, the service is always excellent. I get seated right away and the drink orders are taken when they seat us. I usually order a coffee while I look over the menu. The menu is pretty extensive, ranging from breakfast, lunch, dinner, mexican, sides, etc. and I've never had their lunch or dinner meals, but their breakfast is delicious! It also comes with a lot of food though depending on which item you order. I usually get an omelet (3-egg) and that comes with hashbrowns or potatoes and toast or biscuits and gravy, but their chilaquiles are great too. If you get coffee, they come by fairly often to check on you and refill if you'd like. Reasonable pricing for the amount of food and friendly, attentive staff - definitely recommend! read more

My favorite breakfast in town! This is a family owned and run restaurant and they go out of there way to please! I love coming here, first they make you feel so welcome and second the breakfast is delicious! During the week there are great specials to choose from. On the weekends, it is a wonderful place to relax and fill your tummy. The pancakes are the best I have ever had... seriously, the best! On more than one occasion I have heard servers say if you are not happy, let them know and they will make it right. The servers are all super nice and go out of there way to help. Sometimes there is a little bit of a wait, but it is worth it. We have been coming here for a while and I don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review, this place is great. Try it out! read more

Never been here so me and my hubby decided to eat here for breakfast on Fathers Day. It wasn't even packed and it took forever for someone to take our order. My husband was standing around as our 10 month old started to get fussy and one of the waiters asked if he was waiting for our check and my husband said, nope we are waiting for our food and he said, oooh. And he didn't even check to see if our order was coming up. 2 families had already came and ate and we were still waiting for our food. There wasn't even no excuse for the poor customer experience we received as the place wasn't even too busy. Although the food was good, oh wait, I had to wait for my 2nd pancake because they "forgot"! What kind of shit is that?! I will never come here again!! read more

iF your wife or gf thinks they run in the same circles as the kardashians, they will kick your ass if you bring the here. This is a no frills diner with great service and good food, and no pretentiousness......I wanted to eat breafass before watching the IT movie....I was about to say fuckit get a crossaint from jack inthe box, and call it good, when I went past this place...I said what the hell and went in...The place is old on the inside...mose of the celing tiles are yellowed with age...they put some new ones in where they put new lights in, and the white of the new tiles contrasts badly with the old yellow ones...ha ha... THe server was very attetive...The Coffee was memorable for not sucking or being great. I got a denver omelette...not expecting much...but it was decent...not overly or underly seasoned....good...dare i say it. The red potatoes were good...i was glad i got those instead of hash browns. The booths are sporting what looks like recent vinyl....overall i\t was better than I was expecting, and the service was great. I would go back... read more

The food at Chino Café is excellent. I take the opportunity to try a new dish every week, and so far I've enjoyed every meal. The service is unique; everyone is pleasant. And, if the owner is in, he usually goes around and personally greets his customers. We're treated like family when we come in. Most recently, I discovered "Taco Tuesday!" It's unbelievable. I recommend this family restaurant to everyone. "Once you eat here...you're hooked!" read more

Chino Cafe - "We never have a second cup at home." - Cafes Near Me - Chino, California

This place is one of my new fav breakfast spot! Everything is so good! Service is great ! I had the two Eggs and bacon with red potatoes! My fav, will come back read more

Visited multiple times and each visit there was a problem. Terrible service or cold food. The last straw was finding trash inside my coffee cup. Unfortunately won't be back again. read more

The two times i went here, i was not disappointed. The service is kind and friendly. The food was delicious. It wasn't a hectic or busy environment. Enjoyed myself very much! The chicken fried steak with southern potatoes is the way to go! read more

Received coupons in the mail and decided to give it a shot. Wow........the food was disgusting. We ordered onion rings and it tasted like it's been sitting there for days. The tables were sticky and the whole place looks like it needed a good clean-up crew to safe the day. There was dust and spider webs everywhere. I should have left at my first instinct..........will never go back. read more

First time visiting chino cafe in years... We were seated right away... But it took over 20 minutes and had to ask 3 servers to get our drinks. Finally after an hour we were served cold food. The upside to this trip was that our coffee cup was always full. The food was o.k.. Won't be returning.. Now I know why it's been several years since eating here. read more

Have had many taco's since moving to Chino a year ago and the best so far have been from Chino, Cafe. The flavor of the meats whether, carnitas, ground beef, etc are outstanding and with all the add ons you would expect on a taco. Just the right amount of seasoning as well. The restaurant itself has a pleasant atmosphere and the staff really make one feel at home. This is one of our "go to" places when we want to get a great taco and feel welcome by all the staff. By the way, their Spanish rice is awesome too! Bravo Chino Cafe !! read more

I came here with my family for Taco Tuesday and we experienced probably the worst service. We each ordered only 3 tacos and had to wait 50 minutes. Our waitress did not come to our table once. We had to get up and get someone to take our order. My dad had somewhere to be and had to leave early. We called the manager to our table and he kept justifying himself saying that we came at a busy time and did not take the blame for anything. Other parties that came here to have dinner got up and left because of the wait time. There was no reimbursement for their horrible service nor was there an apology from the manager himself. We will absolutely not be coming here again. Their customer service is a joke. read more

Wait time is ridiculous & totally unnecessary. No point to cramming people in the little holding pin when there are numerous open tables to sit at. About 1.5 hours totally time in for a mediocre breakfast. The only thing they do fast is take your drink order before you can even sit down. So sad that the staff is not being pushed to their full potential. read more

This large restaurant advertises "FREE HOTSPOT" yet they did not have a booth with an electrical outlet! The only suggestion was sitting at the bar! What business person will sit at the bar with their laptop and paperwork sprawled all over the place? As a person who works in the field, finding a restaurant that can accommodate people who can work and eat at the same time should not be too hard to find. Hard to believe they could not accommodate me! Again, this was a very large restaurant! What, they do not use electrical vacuums? Unbelievable... I walked away shaking my head. This occured on a weekday at 11am. read more

Tried to eat here tonight after hearing great things. Got there 5:45 (they close at 6) and they were locked up, lights off and everyone gone. We weren't the only ones out front trying to get in. Another party of 4 walked up right behind us. Lost at least 10 people's business today. read more

The food is good, but the service is horrible. My breakfast took about fifteen minutes for some scramble eggs, bacon and waffle. During that time I was not offered one single coffee refill. When we finally got our order, the food was somewhat cold, it was good, but cold. We did not like the service that was given to us. It was not a busy day, so that was not the excuse. read more

Maybe it's an off day for this place; I don't know. After being served my coffee, something was floating in it. The waitress said it was the creamer but it wasn't...my spoon stuck at the bottom of my cup while stirriing in the sugar, which is a sign of a dirty coffee cup. How would I know that? Well, from kids doing dishes. Huge portions of food but it lacked flavor. For a place that's almost empty being early Friday morning, the service and food were a HUGE disappointment. That dirty coffee cup and whatever was floating in it ruined my appetite. I will not be back. read more

Horrible place for dinner ! Wouldn't feed my dog this food ! The clam chowder was watered down and no flavor with huge chunks of potato.. the salad was just some lettuce with 2 cherry tomatoes .... The T bone steak I asked for another one because the first was burnt , chewy, disgusting... The broasted chicken was dry , but atleast edible .... The mashed potatoes were not warm , and liquidy ... I wouldn't touch these .... So anyway , there was no one here , service took forever and the place is run down .... Don't be tempted by their nice ad in clipper magazine to go .... read more

Love this place. Great breakfast and lunch specials. Delicious. I highly recommend the Chicken Tortilla soup, they only serve it once a week though---Tuesdays I think. read more

The food was fine. The problem was the time element. Many tables available, asked if there were enough servers and was assured there were. Had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated, we were the only ones on the wait list. Once seated took another 30 minutes before our order was taken, then 30+ minutes before it was served. Just be sure you're with good company and have time to spare. read more

I honestly can't compare this place to Flappy Jack's or The Original Pancake House but for being a diner in Chino, it has moderate food and great service. I think I added that extra star for the service. They're very attentive. They know their regular customers, especially ones who always comes in on Tuesdays for their Taco Tuesday special (ahemmmm my boyfriend). My boyfriend got steak with hashbrowns, eggs, and 2 toast (all for 10.99, not too shabby). I failed my diet and went for 2 stacks of pancakes and a side of biscuits and gravy. Their pancakes were very moist! I loved it. I wouldn't really get the biscuits and gravy again. It was nothing too special. And coffee was only 99 cents! Can't go wrong with 99 cents coffee! read more

Enjoy coming to this restaurant, however I wouldn't say it's the best. Some of the food I've had has not tasted fresh. Customer service is so-so. Some workers are awesome, others not so much. Overall, a decent place to go when looking for a quick sit down meal. read more

The food here is very good. However I'm only giving it 4 stars because the service takes forever. The coffee is great as well.

Usually I'd give it a 5 star but tonight definitely wasn't one of our better visits. Went late around 8:00 thru drive thru. Ordered 2 taco samplers. Usually great but tonight not so much. Tacos fried shut. Lettuce, tomato, cheese thrown on top instead of inside tacos. Plus they shorted order. Only 5 tacos instead of 6. read more

Just finished having breakfast at this establishment. .. What a mistake, I had to ask for my silverware, had to ask for a high chair when I was clearly had my 2 year old son in my arms... They finally brought me the check, placed my debit card on the side of the table, it sat there for a good ten to 15 minutes before i finally asked another waitress passing by if i was suppose to pay at the register, she said she wasn't sure!!! WTH!! Don't you work here!! Our waitress finally came to take our check and had another waitress bring it back so I can sign for it, while I grab the pen to click to open the pen the whole pen just fell apart in my hand WTH! The pen was broken at the tip and someone had place tape at the end of it to keep it together. ..Wow! Glad we have left! What a experience! read more

Food was good not great, good. 3 stars because service was extremely horrible. The hostess brought us our drinks which we excused on the wait because she is just a hostess. Once we had our drinks, there was quite a bit of a wait for a waitress. We still needed a few more minutes to decide what we were having, so we asked for a few more minutes. She took 15 minutes to come back, and keep in mind we were 1 out of 2 families here. I had coffee and the whole 2 hours we were here my coffee was refilled ONCE! Once our food arrived 1 hour later she checked on us once, and I had to steal napkins from the table behind us. Just horrible service only three stars for the decent food. read more

The cheeseburgers here are pretty can't lie. Server is always alright, although one time I wanted to order a chicken dinner but they told me that they didn't have any chicken. Moral of the story is that sometimes they run out of product and it's very unprofessional. read more

I only come here cause it is close to my house and convenient for me the food is good but over priced! And I gotta say most of the people here are very rude and weird! I come here often through the drive throw but I haven't gone in the place to eat in quite some time cause the last time I did me and my girlfriend had to wait 1 hour for our food! I understand they get busy but you can't be paying more attention to the people at the bar then the other people! Plus every time I would go in this place to eat I felt like I was in Deny's at 2am!! I swear a lot of the people that come here to eat have no table manners and in the evening all there is drunks talking stupid crap and being loud at the bar! read more

This place is awesome! Clean, nice friendly staff, excellent customer service, delicious food (thanks cooks!!) Taco Tuesday, hamburger and fries, french toast is so, so good! I'm sure everything on their menu is yummy! I guarantee you will be back again and again! read more

Went to breakfast there this morning for the first time. The food was awesome, I had the top sirloin steak and eggs. The service was amazing, I will be back with the entire family. read more

great place for breakfast, i havent gone there any other time. they have some killer happy hour deals. breakfast time gets pretty busy, so they lose one star for service. food is great here tho, i have yet to have something i didnt like. just be fore warned, when you order your hashbrowns extra crispy, they come out EXTRA CRISPY. almost like deep fried potato sticks. one of the great things about this place is that you can have an ice cold beer with your breakfast at 8 in the morning read more

See all

Had the breakfast machaca and it was sooo good. The small salsa they give you on the side gave the dish a yummy flavor! Salsa was a bit watery but still tasted good. I don't like spicy food so salsa was just right. Rice and beans were good but nothing special. read more

First time coming here the servers came by regular refilling our drinks , food came out semi fast. Everyone is super friendly and i would def come back read more

I have to say even though it shows 3.5 for me this place was a grand slam. It is very apparent that the food is fresh and from scratch. Chile verde by far is the best I have had. The price is great and the place is clean. It's an older building but that gives it the "homey" feel. Very sociable staff and knowledgeable about their menu. Thank youo for e the great and speedy service. read more

Came here for breakfast really loved their hash browns and the cafe environment. We will definitely be back.

It's my first time here. My parents raved about this place so I wanted To try it. HOOOOLLLYYY MMOOLLLYY they had us waiting so long!!! They crossed out our names on the wait list w/o even calling us. They took way too long to even get our drink orders in. And we had to grab somebody to take our food order. It was very frustrating. I read more

Eating a delicious breakfast at our favorite diner!!!! My family and I highly recommend it! People are super friendly, you will feel right at home. The service is great! read more

It was our first time for my wife and I at this place. The overall feeling was ok as a diner the place is kind of in an awkward location. There was only 1 hostess, 1 waitress and 1 cook. The order took forever to come after we ordered it. We ordered hamburgers, they were pretty delicious to be honest. The fries were overlooked. The place was pretty dead but I heard its a whole different scene for breakfast. I would probably give this place another chance to redeem my first visit read more

The best thing here is breakfast. We frequent this place a LOT, have tried numerous other dishes, but they are NEVER any good. Stick with breakfast, available ALL DAY. The pancakes are YUM YUM YUMMY in my TUMMY!! The waitresses are also pretty friendly & accomodating, except 1 we've had a couple times that doesn't understand/speak English very well. read more
