I came with some new friends we met at the the waitress that is taking care of us is named Lisa she's amazing, sweet and welcoming very knowledgeable. She was very happy to hear that we were looking for gluten-free options. It's not a gluten-free restaurant, but they definitely have a few nice options. I felt very welcomed. The ambience is kind of chain style. Service was quick and friendly i've lived in Oakdale for almost 7 years have never once entered that restaurant kind of turned my nose up at it as basic, but it's very good. Very nice place read more

I have always passed by this restaurant on the way to The Chicken Ranch Casino and have always wanted to try. Finally got the chance! It was Sunday so I expected it to be busy and it was but we were seated within 10 minutes. Our drink orders were taken and recv'd but our orders for food took atleast 20 minutes. Thecwaitress was very apologetic so we didnt mind. Food was served promptly and it was good! It was very busy and noisy and got even busier as we were leaving. I would definitely come back! read more

Great service and as always great food ... A must try is the Ortega Omelette and always a slice of pie to go

This is one of those, everyone knows everyone kinda places! Good wholesome breakfast meals, at least that's what we had. Good menu choices including Mexican. I had the chicken fried steak and it was good, my ver medium eggs were almost hard boiled, but good. My brother in law had the ham and eggs, it wasn't a ham steak, but he liked it. read more

Update to my last review: this time I ordered Mexican food, chile rellenos to be exact, and they were delicious! I did just about choke on my iced tea when I got the bill, over $50 for just two people! For lunch! read more

My family loves having breakfast at Cindy's Restaurant. The food is delicious, especially the breakfast offerings, spaghetti pozole and menudo soups. The staff members are amazing and very attentive. I truly appreciate the consistent and friendly customer service. Cindy's is designed to make customers comfortable. The booths are nice and we actually have a regular booth. Definitely one of our go to restaurants in Oakdale. read more

I love this restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Always good. The owners and servers are wonderful people. I feel at home here. When I had to have my teeth pulled (I'm 70!) I couldn't eat anything for a couple months! I could go here. They understood. The cooks would make me delicious, soft lunches that weren't on the menu. They made me feel comfortable during a difficult time. This restaurant is highly recommended! read more

Ladies who work here are very nice. I'm just not the biggest fan of their food. I ordered the chile verde omelette. And a barley soup to go . My grandma had the pancakes with bacon. I had a cup of coffee for my drink. Coffee was absolutely horrible!! Yuck ! I put French vanilla creamer in it and it still was bad. 1st time they brought me my coffee it was not warm. So the waitress brought me a new cup and it was piping hot, but unfortunately still tasted bad. The omelette had way too much cheese and just didn't taste good. My grandma enjoyed her pancakes but her bacon was not cooked enough. Barley soup later tasted bland so I ended up not eating it . Cost us over $50 for our food. In my opinion it was not worth it!! read more

This was our first time and the food didn't disappoint. We were there or breakfast and there were so many options. I ended up with the eggs/bacon/fruit bowl. Fruit was fresh and really good. Eggs good, bacon was good just slightly over cooked for me. I know everyone has their preference. I still ate 2 of the 4 pieces our server was so cute and I forgot her name but she was so excited when we told her it was our first time there. She was giving us all the recommendations of what was good and decent. The down fall of this place. People who talk on speaker phone. It's so annoying. We were in a booth and could hear it on the other side of the room from where we sat. The other thing and I wish the restaurant would have enforced it, was people bringing their dogs ( not service) into the place and them laying under the table. There is a sign right when you come in the says "no pets, no shoes, no service". Yet the dog was in there under a table where the lady was talking so loud to the other in party in the same booth. I'm a dog love and would love to take mine everywhere, but c'mon! We would go back, may try the lunch. The sign on the door is slightly confusing as it says open from 6-3pm but their menu offers dinner read more

This place has changed. We have been going here for 2 years now and nothing tastes the same and quality of food is down. Staff- hit and miss. When they get busy, they forget about you or refill on coffee while waiting is a no. some portions look like kids size when they arrive. Fruit bowls, quality of oatmeal and cream of wheat not the same. read more

Cindy's Restaurant - Their French toast used to be better and bigger quality. Now it's like kids size menu. - American Near Me - Oakdale, California

Not liking the new to go containers for the menudo, not only is the meal prep container smaller for the original LARGE portion you pay for its a messy way to pack a to go order with HOT LIQUID!! Good menudo though read more

As a new resident of Oakdale I found Cindy's to be a great place to grab a well prepared meal at a reasonable price. The staff, most notably Lisa always stops by each table with a smile and pictures of the daily specials prepared by the cook for consideration. All staff are just as pleasant, Lisa seems to set the tone of a friendly neighborhood business. To top it off every meal I have ordered has been top notch. Well done congratulations. read more

Went to Cindy's and really enjoyed the food. The waitress and staff were very attentive and friendly. I had the San Joaquin Burger and my partner had the Deluxe Chicken Burger... the jalapeño on my San Joaquin Burger was SPICY! So if you don't like spice, don't order that or just don't add it. The place is clean, but very dated, that's the only negative I would say.. otherwise it is a great spot and I definitely plan to continue going. read more

New to town. Have been here a few times. I must say, Lisa is a gem. Absolutely love this woman. Her personality and passion for where she works is incredible. I especially love how she points out the special board and shows the food pictures on her phone. She makes you feel so welcome and part of the family. I will come back over and over because of her exceptional service and authentic personality. We love Lisa !!!! read more

The service was terrible, I understand that they were busy when we first got there, but after a while the crowd die down. Our waiter never once came to see or explain why it was taking so long. Not once did they refill our coffee while we waited. And when our food did come it was the smallest French toast I had ever seen. It was a joke. Maybe he didn't like dealing with kids, or maybe he didn't like the way we looked. Idk but he got no tip from me. read more

I have been going to Cindy's restaurant for years . Recently We stopped going because they raise their prices and cut out the free coffee for seniors. I can see raising the prices, but I think giving seniors free coffee was a big plus now they are one of the most expensive places in town for breakfast for seniors we were a bit disappointed. It costs senior six dollars more per breakfast :( very disappointed, I did enjoy their breakfasts. I wish they would reconsider their decision to remove free coffee for seniors. read more

Had brunch on Sunday-and fabulous! All your brunch favorites and some with hispanic influence. Plentiful, tasty and fresh and excellent service even for our larger party of 8. Great value and they had a senior menu for those with smaller appetite. Highly recommend for this popular locals spot. read more

Brought my family , stood waiting for at least a greeting, at least 4 waitresses, seemed busy. Also noticed that they avoided eye contact. After standing there for a few minutes, we decided to leave them went up the street to House of Beef. Won't be coming back read more

Don't order the Menudo they take an eternity to get it to you 2/5 would not recommend

Simple delicious food. I am stuck on the senior Mexican breakfast menu. Price is right and the servers are on top of it! The Tamale Omelet is awesome, though too much food! read more

Great food! Cute local restaurant with a small town feel. I love their burritos and their quesadillas. The staff is so sweet!

Your basic diner with your basic Mexican food thrown in. I like diner food, so the place works for me, but it's pretty straightforward. Service is pretty friendly, attentive and the interior is pretty clean. A nice place to have a meal, but that's about as far as I'd take it. read more

My wife and I were on our way to Jamestown when we came upon Cindy's Restaurant in Oakdale. Not seeing many other options for food in the area we decided to give it a go. Best decision ever! Not only was the Restaurant very neat and clean, the food was excellent! The very best part of our visit was our amazing waitress Cecy. ( sorry if I misspelt her name) Cecy was just awesome! When you combine good food and great service it's my pick for a wonderful experience. I Highly recommend Cindy's Restaurant! Ask for Cecy read more

This place is good for breakfast. We stopped here in the evening on our way to go camping.Granted they were very busy. But we did wait about 20 minutes for our order to be taken and that was after I got up and asked for somebody to come over and help us. The waitress that was supposed to take her order it later came by was some sort of an excuse that she was really busy and I told her I didn't want to hear it. My husband ordered a hamburger and he said it was pretty good I opted to try their Mexican food, And it was very very bland. I would not recommend it. Prices are decent and the restaurant appears to be clean. read more

I used to come to eat an order my lunch got work. The last few times I've come or order my food. I get put on hold for 20 minutes or get hung up on. Then by the time I get my food sometimes it's cold. I went in a few days ago ordered a Philly Cheese Stake sandwich with Fries and extra ranch an soda. My Total came out to almost $26 for one meal. My mouth bout dropped. I've been coming here for a year almost. Never have I paid that much. When I opened my food it wasn't even worth $26 it was little fries and my sandwich had big chunks of meat and hella cheese hardly anything else in it. Then I noticed that the younger man took out a tip that I didn't otherwise at all. 3 times that has happened. I was a server for 6yrs at different places and Cindy's you guys need to retrain your lunch server and Dinner. My Grandma food was very cold and the server wasn't paying attention and spilled soda all over my Grandma and her food. When asked to see if there was anything they can do. They just moved us didn't even bring out a new drink. Didn't ask if she wanted new food. We HAD TO ASK FOR A NEW DRINK. Then Ask to see the menu again. THEN SHE CHANGED US FOR BOTH MEALS. SO WHEN I ASKED IF THEY CAN COMP US SINCE MY GRANDMA FOOD WAS RUINED. The Server Gave me a different look. I asked to speak to a Manager she told me there no manager. I know one of the Cooks. He seen what was going on he said Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it for you. I was very upset and Thankful at the same time. read more
