    Mushroom, onion, Swiss cheese omelette with hash browns. Waffles, scrambled eggs, and sausage in the background.
    Leeann M.

    This is a beloved restaurant in Chino. I've lived here almost 40 years and had never been so we decided to try it. The exterior is old and dingy and inside is pretty much the same. We didn't realize you put your name on a list in the "hallway" and wait to get called, so we stood inside. Nobody said anything to us, but greeted the group who walked in behind us and directed them to sign in. We put our name on the list first since we'd been there and waited outside along with other patrons. They then skipped us and called in two other parties behind us. I asked why we were skipped and they said a new hostess. But that didn't make sense since they literally skipped us and crossed the names off the list after us. We were finally seated and the server was very friendly, but she was spread thin covering a bunch of tables so we didn't get drunk refills and some of our order. The food was OK but it's hard to mess up breakfast. I won't return again. I don't get the hype, I think it's probably nostalgia for people.

    Prime rib, bake potato, corn and Texas toast

    Came in on Thursday night for a prime rib special. Araceli, my server greeted me. I told her no menu needed, because I'm here for the prime rib special. Dinner was awesome, service was awesome. No complaints, just compliments!

    The banana split is incredibly yummy and HUGE!   They use Thrifty Ice Cream!   You know you want one!

    Came for Taco Tuesday $1.75 per taco! The shredded beef are yummy! The 2 tables behind us ordered banana splits, they looked incredible! We were going to order another taco but ordered a banana split instead, and what a great call! It was huge! They use Thrifty Ice Cream! Yummy! What a Treat!

    3 eggs, hash-browns, sausage, a side of biscuits & gravy! (Front) sausage-bacon egg omelette w/hash-browns and a side of biscuits & gravy.

    As always delicious! My 3rd time coming here w/my Boyfriend we love it here. Had my first taste of their biscuits & gravy and my goodness, so EFFIN' yummy'

    Nice selection of teas,

    Service is kind and welcoming, ambiance is casual and nostalgic with a Flo's or Guasti's vibe. Amazing smell of freshly ground coffee. Plenty of space with counter sitting, booths and tables. TVs for your morning weather report

    Pathetic Meat Loaf plate!  Disgusting    I turn it away!!

    I'm just going to get to the point! Stop by last night and decided to give this place a try despite the parking lot looking empty. Ordered the meat loaf and it was disgusting . I will share the picture for you all can see! I asked the waitress what is this and she said try it!. It tastes good! Hardly, one taste and I sent it back. The meat looked like it was mutilated. The mash potatoes looked like they were water down. My plate came with a salad and that was actually good. The waitress of course charged me for that even though it was part of my plate. Really hard to believe this place makes money. The inside of the restaurant looks like it has passed its glory days. Almost feels like you're in the middle of nowhere! Let's see the coke was good. In a nut shell this establishment has lost its passion!! My TV dinner is far more enjoyable than their so called meat loaf !!

    Yumm

    Food isn't half bad and also comes with typical cafe or smaller chain prices. Service isn't bad either with a quality lunch staff.

I found this coffee shop near me so I decided to go with my sister in law. We arrived 10mins before closing time so I was excited to make it on time. Apparently the ridiculously rude young lady working there wasn't having it. She took a couple minutes to take our order since putting in the patio furniture was more important. When she finally finished, she came to the counter with a horrible attitude asking what we wanted. My sister in law wanted a hot coffee and she refused to served it since the machine was "off" already. Then she proceeded to order a banana iced coffee (don't know the name) and again the lady refused to make it since it was one of their most "complicated" drinks to make. We ended up ordering two "quick and easy" ice drinks. We asked if she was working alone... this lady only had rude comments and answers to say (smart ass). It is unfortunate to be treated that way specially when it was my first time there. It is also very unfortunate that the Spanish Latte I ordered was delicious, BUT I will never be returning or recommending this place due to the horrible customer service. I have family in the coffee business and customer service is always a priority, not at this location. Very disappointed with whoever hired her and trained her.

I wanted to hop on with some updates on my most recent visit. They now accept credit cards! Their menu board shows two different prices - one for cash and one for credit card. It does cost a bit more to use a credit card, so bring cash if you can. Another thing is their Ugleez eggs. Don't skip out on those if you don't mind their appearance or the yolk size inconsistencies. I have bought them a few times and the egg yolks are beautifully orange and they taste great! It saves you some money by getting those and you still get that high quality egg with some deformities on the outside. Jumbo eggs sells out quick, so be sure to come early around their opening time if you want that size (which is the ones I always get).
