    Thanksgiving for breakfast.  Yes please
    Dianalynn R.

    This restaurant was swamped. I sat down and only a moment later two families were behind me and waited for a seat. Not long. But just to show you how popular the restaurant was, as we were leaving, people were still walking in. I had Thanksgiving for breakfast. Turkey and cranberry sauce. Potatoes and Gravy. Hubs had an omelet. It was a great visit, I was well cared for, a manager even stopped by everyone's table one at a time greeting people. The coffee was so good. I have to come back.

    I have to say I am pretty impressed with the food here. I've never heard of this place before until hubby told me it's a chain restaurant. I like the Latin twist to the typical diner. I did have the Menudo from the menu though it's not as good as the local Mexican restaurant by my house but it's OK. Everything else that came with. It was delicious and the service was acceptable. Price: $- $$ Quality: A Service: A

    Great Mom and Pop... Nothing taste better then home cooked food. I had the beef vegetable and my friend had menudo. Best soup ever! Mexican and American food. Large Menu.... The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. Say hello to Suzie, Valerie and Teresa for me.

    First thing: hands down, Cindy's makes the greatest salsa EVER! This unassuming spot is usually pretty busy, especially on a Saturday. It literally feels like home in there. It's clean and serves up the best comfort food. A restaurant serving American & Mexican dishes threw me off at first but it makes sense, especially for the area. It's a perfect combination of a typical American diner food and traditional Mexican dishes. Where else can you get good huevos rancheros and chicken fried steak and eggs?! Oh and did I mention free chips and salsa?! The parking lot here is super funky. It's right off golden state in a busy intersection so be careful! Overall, a must try for breakfast or lunch. Pro tip: you can order their delicious chips & salsa by the pound!!! It's always a hit at parties!

    This place is def a local breakfast spot. You can tell by the customers who come, they have been coming for years. Anyhow, the food. The food is OK. Food comes out hot but I can definitely make a better breakfast at home. The salsa, it tastes like an el pato can. The biscuits and gravy, I've had better for sure. The sausage didn't look too appealing. They offer Mexican and American, but the Mexican is not authentic. If everything else around is closed and this is the only place open, then I would come back.

    So I have lived in Turlock since 2007. Driven by Cindy's many many times but never stopped here for breakfast. Why? That's a darn good question. The wife and I finally made the pit stop and let me just say, we were glad we did. We were seated in the outside dining since the restaurant was packed. It was morning time so the weather was perfect. I went with their special which consisted of two eggs, I picked two sausage links, potatoes and toast. The wife went with the breakfast enchiladas. They offer chips and salsa which were YUMMY. Warm corn tortilla chip but they felt as if they were flour chips. Weird but delicious. The salsa had a kick. The kind of kick where your mouth is burning but you can't stop eating it. Did I mention they serve Pepsi products? I love me some Diet Pepsi. The food came out fast and it was time to eat. My food was delicious. My wife liked her plate to. Her only complaint and I agree, leave the lettuce garnish off the plate. No one likes wilted lettuce. Talk about a great experience overall. The food was great, the staff was awesome. They always checked on us.

    First of all, nice folks own this place. The service is wonderful! I have been going here for years and have never had a bad meal. My buddy had menudo and he loved it. His wife had huevos rancheros and she said they were very good. I had the basic eggs and hamburger patty. I asked for crispy hash browns and they actually made them crispy! Great breakfast for American and Mexican food!

    Food is delicious and service is great. Cocktails are excellent as well. Very nice ambiance.read more

    I came here on a Friday night, I arrived about 6 PM. It was just me, so I offered to sit at the bar…read moreas it was full service. When I got there, there were still some empty open tables, however, as I was leaving, it seems like they're just about all filled up. I got the Mr. milkman cocktail and it was pretty tasty, although I did notice how it appeared, as if there were a lot of wines and other beverages that they were out of. Even with my cocktail, they had to substitute the base with soda water, although it was still tasty. There was probably about 7 to 8 wines/sakes that were crossed out on the menu. Food came out fast, and the service was decent on that chefs end. I got the Korean Stone bowl dish, and It was pretty tasty, although fairly expensive for what it was... rice, veggies, and a little bit of beef, but I do like the concept of having a hot bowl that progressively warms up the rest of the food inside. I really do wish there was more meat inside for the price, I feel like only two or three bites had beef. One thing that I really noticed (and I think I noticed even more because I was sitting at the bar) was how servers and the bartenders spent a lot more time conversing with their friends (who were sitting at the bar) then checking in on some of the other people. Someone did approach me to put in my drink order, but I flagged down the server to put all my other food orders in. I don't think anybody came and asked how my meal was either. I do enjoy the overall ambience of the place, dim mood lighting, a minimalist esthetic, and a bar that really nicely displays some of their high end liquors.

    The reviews about the loud music is true and it's not changing any time soon…read more I visited for dinner ~6:30pm. Immediately when walking in I noticed the music was overwhelmingly loud. It felt more like a club scene rather than a nice dinner spot. I asked if the waitress could lower the music and she said they weren't allowed to touch it. Upon seeing the reviews of this place, I see why. The business owner claims that they're trying to curate a "lively atmosphere" and it's "not for everyone". That's wack. If half of your reviews are telling you the music is too loud, lower it. I could barely hear my partner speak and had to read lips just to try to have a conversation. Plus some of the waitstaff were changing songs midway through or skipping songs. It was distracting. On top of that, the main dishes do not come with a side. Every single side option is an up charge. I knew when ordering the salmon, that it wouldn't come with a side. But everyone should note that you're spending $25 on an 8oz salmon and two slices of lemon with not a single side. No rice, no nothing. To be honest, you can go to Texas Roadhouse and get the same exact thing for the same exact price and get two sides for free. Plus you're not hounded by extremely loud music. Last thing to note, our waitress was also working the bar. There was a couple at one other table and someone at the bar. Other than that, the restaurant was completely empty. We barely saw our waitress and had to wait for quite a while when we wanted to order another drink. We spent a lot of extra time than we wanted to waiting around. My positive about this restaurant is that the decor is nice and that they let you modify the dish a bit. We ordered the pasta trio and they let us get two of one type of pasta. The pesto was really good. The deals on Thursday for drinks is good. The bread and butter was really good but an extra $5. Overall? Business owner: please take note of what customers are saying and compromise. If a customer asks for the server to lower the music, staff should be allowed to, even if just a little bit. What sort of "lively atmosphere" are you trying to create on a Thursday night at 7pm with a restaurant 90% empty? Maybe change the vibe of the music based on the time of day. Your decorations say "nice dinner" your music says "sports bar". There is an in between and I know it can be found. I hope everyone can learn something from this review.

    My husband and I really enjoyed Toscana's and were sad that they closed. We were excited to hear…read morethey would reopen with a new name, new look, and new menu and wanted to give it a try. The Atrium has a totally different look than the previous restaurant Toscana's. They have spent a lot of time and attention to detail to create a more upscale atmosphere. The light fixtures, the moody floral motif on the ceiling, the serpent gold "A", and the greenery wall decor all create a unique look and feel apart from any other restaurant in Turlock. The menu offerings are designed to be shared which is a fun change from other area restaurants. The service was friendly and efficient with prompt attention and helpful recommendations. The only area we found that could be improved upon was the music volume. It was super loud which made it difficult to have a conversation over our meal. We were told that Atrium is trying to cater to a younger crowd. While we totally understand and appreciate the image they are trying to convey, the music volume really impacts the overall dining experience and not for the better. A recommendation would be to have the music volume a little lower during the dinner service and then switch from dinner service to light bites and cocktails, dim lights, and play the music louder to cater to a younger crowd. Of course that is just our opinion. We will give it another try in the future to see if things have improved, but in the meantime, we do hope they succeed.
