Called in a order to pick up. The manager on Saturday 10/16/21 took my order over the phone. She said it would be about 20min. I showed up at the 20min mark and I paid the bill. She told me it would be right up. I waited 30 more min and walked back in. She said she would check on it. When she came back they said something happened with the ticket and there making it right now. 15 more minutes later I received the food. Took it home and only half of the order was correct. So I went back and the manager verified the order was wrong. More excuses about the order ticket process. So I asked for my money back. The manager couldn't even give me a Receipt because she voided the charge. Her way of hiding the screw up I guess. Family kitchen had my order ready in 15min and the food was awesome. read more

Very good food and great prices, don't forget to check the chalk menu on the back wall, lots of hidden gems up there! One downside, they don't have outdoor seating on weekdays making it a bit inconvenient for me bringing my dog along! read more

My friends and I went here today after a busy and rainy morning. The food was terrific and the service was pretty good too. Three of us had the Cali Benedict. Mine was so yummy, I wanted to kiss the chef. My daughter had a waffle that was light, fluffy and cook to perfection. We'll definitely be back even though it's not close by- It's worth the drive. read more

Giving it 3/5 stars based on wait time alone, the place is very quaint and the food is very good but if you are looking for a table of 3 or more people be ready to wait some serious time as they only have about 5-6 tables to accommodate parties of 3+. We waited about 90 minutes on a rainy day so we had to literally just wait on the street. Once inside the staff were courteous and the food was like I said very good. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. Let's start out by saying I'm not sure if the staff here are racist or just plain rude . Went here with a party of 4 ( all African American) was quoted 15 min wait time.. no issues happy to wait but when the HOUR mark rolled around and my self and party all noticed all the white people with bigger and smaller parties were just jumping the line and getting seated it became clear that the black people and the Asian family waiting for over a hour was just not going to be served. Went in to ask for an updated wait time only for them to say and quote "oops looks like I marked your name off by accident" with a giggle afterwards. She then said it will just be a few more mins. After that we just left cause if the service to just get seated is that bad the food can't be good. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP! read more

First time here, the food is great and the menu is a good variety of both breakfast and lunch. The place is a little crowded sometimes, waited a while for seating and service, but the food is good and seems to be a good value. I don't like to pay over $20 for a breakfast plate, here you can do for $12 or $15 so thats good with me. read more

Yes! this gem has the best French toast I've ever had. They have a FT special with 2 eggs and bacon 4 $7! If I have jury duty next week, I'm coming back! Super friendly people too. read more

Awesome place for breakfast! Very generous portions! Staff has very good energy, very attentive, and excellent customer service. There's one staff dedicated to just making sure you get endless coffee service. You can customize your meal and they happy to accommodate. The restaurant feels very cozy, homey, beautifully decorated. Nice lighting! It's always filled with people and everyone seems to be having an wonderful time. Copper skillet is worth the drive if you're not from the Pleasant Hill/Martinez area. read more

Food was alright at best. I asked for crispy hash browns and I got what looked like the crumbs left in the fryer basket. I was really surprised they would send customers potatoes that looked like that. The corned beef hash was also just "okay". It was very thin and small portioned. I've had copper skillet when it was dine in and recall it being good. Maybe this was a one off but it was a disappointment unfortunately. read more

I discovered this restaurant yesterday during a business meeting and had an excellent experience so much so that I'm back here today for another fat ass breakfast.

Oh my goodness, mouth watering! I'm definitely not a big breakfast person I'd have to say generally when I do breakfast/brunch my reviews are pretty harsh because I'm not a big fan of most breakfast foods. I'm more of a have dinner for breakfast type of gal lol. When I went to copper skillet, I had the strawberry waffle, I mean c'mon even the presentation of the waffle looked so delicious, if my eyes could eat my mouth wouldn't have had a chance. The waffle was just fluffy and perfect, I think the way it's made was exceptional, (I know you're probably thinking it's just a waffle lady! But go there and you'll understand) with the powdered sugar and the whipped cream it was so good I will definitely be coming for more. It's a cute little diner, not huge, not fancy, but definitely cozy and comfortable. They have a lot of other breakfast options if you're not feeling like having a waffle or waffles. Their service was okay, no complaints they were extremely busy which is a good thing, that means people enjoy dining there! Nom nom nom read more

I enjoy coming here in the middle of the week and ordering from their Weekday Breakfast Special menu. I posted a photo of their special menu on Yelp, as you have five choices to choose from, and they are available from Monday - Friday at 7am - 11am. As of January 2013, those special items are currently at $4.95; which has gone up over the years. The service is quick and the employees are very nice & friendly. As for the food, it's good but nothing spectacular; but at the price you pay, it's well worth it! Copper Skillet Courtyard is a great hole in the wall restaurant to have breakfast or brunch at whenever you're in the downtown Martinez area. read more

We were seated for 6 very quickly on a busy Sunday morning, albeit the line looked intimidating at first. The service and food were great and we especially appreciated how family friendly the environment was (my niece and nephew are young). We will surely be back here - next time we look forward to trying the sweet breakfast options vs. your typical eggs/bacon/toast, which was still really good! read more

My family and I love coming here on the weekends for breakfast. The menu list is so delicious and brings nostalgia, oh how I love their homemade buttermilk pancake with fresh strawberry on top and the eggs and a crispy but yet soft hash browns are a delight (and to dine for)! The food reminds me of how my grandmother used to make them when she was still with us and it always warms me up to remember those good times. But besides food, the family who owns the restaurant are wonderful! Great customer service and cleanliness. And the restaurant has a "homey" feeling and style (it's easy to get comfortable and feel safe). I encourage all to try the place sometime when one gets the chance :D read more

I always love coming here. The food, staff and atmosphere is always perfect. The most classic spot in Martinez!

Great breakfast love my french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages, everything was delicious service was outstanding, ill be back soon. read more

If you are looking for comfort food and want to avoid the usual brunch crowd then this eatery is a good start. I usually come here only when I get an early morning hankering for breakfast food. The place isn't fancy. The wait staff is very attentive but if you are choosy about what you want you have to let them know to give you some time. I usually brunch here on a whim and I bring along a newspaper to read. #Breakfastforone. The service is so quick in the early hours that I often get my food before I can get through page one of the newspaper. read more

Had court today n just Googled food places near by and seen this place! I wasn't expecting the food to be all that I was just hungry lol!! So glad I was wrong!! Food was actually HELLA good lol!!

I've order door dash the last two days a kid menu item I don't understand why you have the option for a drink but when my food arrives I have no drink... so my dasher told me today they don't do drinks for a kids meal well on door dash you have to pick a drink in order to move forward now I feel like I'm getting ripped off... if the drink doesn't come with the meal why is it even a option I love the food but I will not be paying for things if I'm no going to receive them this is very unprofessional and maybe there should be no kids meal on your menu for DoorDash... I will not be ordering here ever again read more

If you're a brunchy type person, you'll think you've died and gone to heaven here . A gazillion choices, (including lunch options), humongous servings and oh so reasonable. It's like dining in a log cabin type vibe, laid-back and easy going. It felt so homey and comfy, I thought my mom would pop up any minute. Even more so when I saw pea soup on the menu. My mom makes a mean pea soup. Service was terrific and I could not believe the size of my plate when it arrived. You definitely get your money's worth here. I had a tough time making a decision because there were just so many options and they all sounded so appealing. I was there on a Sunday and it was super busy but we didn't wait long for a table. They also have a little patio out front. I noticed there were quite a few breakfast options for 5.99 on weekdays and lunch specials for 6.99. They also serve mimosas and I think beer. Will definitely be going back. read more

One of the best restaurants in Martinez. The portions are great. Prices we're great. The owner Jay was awesome. This restaurant really lived up to our expectations and we'll definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Everything about the experience was wonderful! Our waitress was attentive and kind, the food was definitely on point. Visit this little gem in Downtown Martinez, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

This is our go-to place for a great breakfast. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. The coffee is good and refills forever. I had the waffle plate with sausages. The waffle was huge and sausages just slightly spicy. I was so full after that and did not eat anything the rest of the day. We're a family of five and was seated at a big table in a room away from the front room. We'll always be coming here for a great breakfast! read more

I always love the food here. I grew up eating at Copper Skillet in Pittsburg. The went out of business quite some time ago. I found this one in Martinez 16 yrs ago and was excited to have my "Italian Omelette" again... So sad that I came in this morning for breakfast and they no longer have it... 30yrs on the menu and now it's gone... It's the only reason I've ever come here... I ordered something else this morning, we will see if it stacks up... read more

This place is fantastic. A group of us have been meeting there for breakfast for the last fifteen years. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. But what really stands out is the employees. They make you feel like you are meeting a bunch of old friends. I look forward every month to our break. Highly recommend. read more

This is the place to when you are in Martinez if you are serving your time on Jury Duty. I don't know if serving is the right term. Seriously the best place to eat in Martinez. Don't forget to check the specials board that is written on a large white board for the best deals. You can't go wrong with most of the breakfast items. Actually everything we have had here is great. Favorites are the corn beef hash, chicken fried steak, omelettes are great, and the hash browns are always crispy. I have never had a bad meal here, and I always like breakfast for lunch. Makes your jury duty seem better. It would be a great first date place, or if every meal with your wife seems like the first date :) nice, casual, clean, and homey. Food 4 of 5 always a good meal with large portions, atmosphere 4 of 5 cabin like atmosphere with rustic pine paneling, Value 5 of 5 large portions bottomless soda who could ask for more. read more

Copper Skillet - Mikes Breakfast Sandwich with Linguisa.. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Martinez, California

Wow!! Their service here is top notch!! Friendly, fast, courteous, and prompt! Food hits the spot and it's a cute little restaurant in downtown Martinez. * Parking: 8/10, surprisingly not too bad for a weekend brunch. Downtown Martinez has meters but I don't think they enforce it on the weekends. Don't quote me on that though. My friend and I were here eating and walking around downtown for 2 hours and we were fine. Actually, parking spots were opening up just as we were leaving (10:30AMish). * Interior/ Bathrooms/Vibe: 10/10, The inside is a little cramped but they do have tables upstairs. I didn't even notice they had an upstairs area. We were seated in the main lower area and we were fine. This place gets busy! That's the sign of a good restaurant. Clean bathrooms stocked. What was a huge plus and rare to see nowadays is that the staff helps each other out. Definitely the sign of a good restaurant and management. * Food: 10/10, delicious, fresh, and generous portions. Our waitress even recommended appropriate sizes (like she read my mind) haha. * Overall: I definitely would come back here if I'm ever in Martinez again. Another successful dining experience! read more

We had a party of 15 for breakfast during the Memorial Day holiday. Not only was the friendly staff accommodating and so attentive. The so Ono food was delivered timely and hot. My omelette had the chunkiest bacon and fresh avocado. Yum! Love this place and will definitely return soon. read more

There's a lot of construction in the area right now, so it would be easy to miss this place, big mistake. Came in through the back entrance and was immediately greeted and seated. Interior is clean and homey looking. Ordered the eggs Benedict, a side of corned beef and a waffle breakfast combo. The waffle was alright, nothing special. The corned beef was delicious, but the eggs Benedict stole the show! The hollandaise was perfectly creamy and not too tangy like many other versions of eggs Benedict, and the eggs were perfectly cooked with a mouth watering runny yolk. Came with a side of hash browns which are a breakfast MUST in my book, cooked just the way I like it, with crunchy tops and soft insides. Love this place! New go to breakfast/brunch joint. read more

Looking at the first low star rating for this restaurant I was curious as to who would give them a negative review, since my meal on New Years day was exceptional, even if it was slow. Looking at the review I realized it was mine, and I knew I needed to write an update. Coming here on New Years day was probably a crazy idea, because of course they would be packed. The wait was really not that bad, considering how crazy they were. After some deliberation I settled on the chorizo breakfast burrito and hash-browns. I almost went for the fruit but was informed by the waitress that the fruit wasn't that good. An honest server. I love it. Another semi-long wait later my burrito was in front of me. It was a decent size, and I was thankful that it wasn't too big. It was accompanied by two small dishes of sour cream and fresh salsa. The burrito was delicious. The three-ingredient wrap (chorizo, egg, and cheese) was perfect, because each ingredient wasn't fighting for power. Everything was balanced, and that balance tasted good. A big shout out to all the wait staff. Working on New Years, let alone any holiday, must be tough, and they managed to appease upset customers, wait tables, and work their butts off, all with a smile on their faces. My New Years meal completely changed my view on this restaurant. I can't wait to be a repeat customer. read more

Reina was the most demeaning passive aggressive waitress my friends and I have ever had. Every question we asked was answered with nothing but attitude and rudeness. There was an item I saw online for their restaurant that wasn't listed on the actual menu. I asked her what it was called and received a snarky response, as if I were already supposed to know the name of it. Then I simply asked if I could have ham instead of country fried steak and before I could even finish my question she cut me off and rudley talked over me saying "no sir, no we can't do anything like that!" Rolling her eyes and shaking her head. I said ok and asked her to please not add powdered sugar on the waffle and she looked at me like I was stupid and said they didn't include powdered sugar in the first place. I showed her that every picture online for their restaurant showed powdered sugar on the waffles. She quickly walked away saying she would make sure there wasn't sugar on it. We asked for her name as she walked away, she gave it to us, then proceeded to huddle with her coworkers and speak negativity about us to her coworkers. We could here her from across the restaurant talking about us. After she brought our food out, we asked for butter. When she returned with the butter she rudely said, "have to make sure you aren't deprived of your precious butter, is this enough butter?" The food was actually good but due to the servers horrible attitude and customer service skills I am giving this restaurant 1 star. On the payment device she brought to the table, there was an option to request an email be sent to us to describe our experience. I never received the email so I am describing it here and how the management sees this. The servers attitude ruined the meal for my friends and I. We were all very excited to eat breakfast and we left disappointed and in a bad mood. read more

I paid, and left my tip as usual. I was nit in the mood to makw a big fuss so I just left. Smh read more

I was in town visiting my parents and wanted to take them out to breakfast. I found this place on yelp and it looked like a pretty good breakfast spot. We weren't really greeted per say, more along the lines of the lady just stared at us until I said here for 3. We were told we could sit anywhere, so we sat at a corner wraparound booth. The first waitress we had was really nice and really attentive. We ordered our breakfast selections and the food came out fairly quick. The food was delicious and piping hot. They did however get my order wrong (I asked for pancakes and got a Belgium waffle instead) but, I didn't complain, I love both! However, what did bother me, was for some strange reason we had multiple waitresses coming to our table every 5 mins before and during our meal, interrupting our conversation. Usually you have one waitress looking after your table, not all of them rotating. We weren't being loud or anything, my parents and I were just catching up, laughing, and enjoying ourselves. Not even 10 mins went by, once they brought the food out and one of the waitresses' had the nerve to ask us if she can bring the check! It rubbed me the wrong way and kind of agitated me, because we had just started eating. I'm not sure if they were trying to rush us out or what. This was on a Thursday morning! it was a little busy but not packed, so what gives? As I looked around, I did notice we were the only African American family there at the time and we did get some weird stares. Another strange thing, was when the waitresses' had nothing to do, they just stood in the back of the restaurant staring at people eat and we got the glaring constantly. That's the main reason I gave 3 stars, as I said before the food was great and my parents were happy that we tried out this new place. They even discussed possibly coming back since they live not too far, but if I had the chance to, I probably wouldn't. The service just left me disappointed. Another African American family was coming in as we were about to leave our booth. They asked for a booth and was given 2 tables pushed together instead of given the option to wait for one. My dad was gonna tell the waitress we are about to leave they can take our booth, but I just advised him against it. Hopefully they got better service than we did. read more

It's really too bad that I heard this place was a good breakfast to eat. I love to support local businesses and give a chance to try out what they have. We order take out... medium well steak was over cook and dry. Scramble eggs had egg shells in them, bacon seemed like it was left over and reheated and the French toast we ordered had no taste. Seemed as tho it was just dipped in eggs and cook. Was very disappointed with all the hype about this place. read more
