Amazing service, even with a dance and song! The restaurant was very busy as it was noon, but still clean! Wonderful food, we both enjoyed it! I sent an picture to my son who ordered street tacos for him! We will be back read more

Whenever a road trip puts us anywhere near Susanville, breakfast here is usually a must, but this time we stopped in for lunch and I found a new favorite: the green enchiladas. I added chicken and, oh man, it took real self-control not to clean the plate. That green chile sauce is absolutely sippable (no shame). The staff is always friendly, the place is consistently clean, and the food feels like it's made with care. We'll keep supporting this local gem and hope it's serving happy diners for decades to come. read more

Mediocre breakfast in a boring space. Nothing was terrible, but surely there are better breakfast places.

Clean, but we were seated and the server started serving other people coming in and there were only 5 tables of customers. Horrible service. Food was good for a small town diner. Then we asked, playfully if the she forgot about us and she said, " well I'm here now you're fine." Unfriendly. Telling me how I feel. Coffee was weak and burned, granted they were not busy. Chicken fajitas omelette it was good. Partner had California omelette, both were good for a small hometown cafe. read more

Classic diner ambiance that seems to be popular with the locals. The All American Breakfast we got was simple but a good way to get the day started. We also got a Pork Torta to-go, which turned out to be a great sandwich in all aspects! read more

We stopped by Courthouse Cafe during our road trip and had mixed feelings. I ordered the carne asada fries with added beans. The flavor was actually really good--fresh veggies, great seasoning, and the beans were a nice touch. But the carne asada was extremely chewy and way too salty, which made me feel nauseous afterward. My sister got a healthy bowl with rice, chicken, and black beans--some of her chicken was chewy too. My mom didn't order anything. She appreciated that they don't cook with lard, but didn't find anything she liked on the menu. We also got a plain unseasoned dog patty for $9, which honestly felt excessive for what it was. It didn't include anything extra and cost about as much as a full pound of fresh ground beef. The staff were really kind, and that made the experience better, but overall it felt overpriced for the quality. Between the tough meat, saltiness, and high add-on costs, we wouldn't go out of our way to return. read more

This building was maybe an A&W in a previous life? Either that or a Pizza Hut, but them there's the drive in architecture still in place. Our Yelp research driving up from Genoa was sparse, and the Courthouse seemed to be better than most in Susanville. The only "negative" was that Gayle's salad should have had the dressing on the side, and they poured a lot of that into their version. On the other hand, my tuna melt and fries were excellent and better than most that I've ordered over the years. The interior was casual, service was prompt and friendly, and the significantly Mexican menu had a lot to offer. The bill was reasonable and the quantities were enough to get us to Ashland without getting hungry. read more

We've tried several places in Susanville and this is one of the few good dining options, especially for those who are health conscious. Ambiance: Standard diner vibe. Not amazing but not terrible. Food: there's a combination of typical diner fare and Mexican options. We had the following: Veggie wrap - honestly not a fan. It's a variety of unseasoned raw vegetables inside a tortilla with a side dressing. Healthy Bowl - surprisingly good. The lime rice makes Chipotle's rice look like a joke. We were surprised to find something this healthy and delicious on the menu. Cobb salad - strange combination of ingredients. There were mushrooms but no corn. Not bad - just unexpected. Service: the server was friendly, but the service can vary depending on whom you get. For anyone passing through Susanville, I'd recommend giving this spot a try! read more

Place looked packed with people. So we thought it should've been respected place in town. I ordered avocado with 2 eggs, asked to be cooked over medium. When food came, it looked over easy. I asked the server it should've been over medium, she told me it was over medium. Everything was runny. My hunger made me the eat the whole thing. My husband ordered jalapeño eggs Benedict, it was very good except pepper was very mild. Next time we will pass this restaurant. read more

The service was fast and friendly. Had the shrimp tacos special and it was DELICIOUS! It was busy on the Sunday that we stopped by, but we were seated within minutes. read more

Stopped in here after dropping off our granddaughter since we were late eating lunch. It's just a small-town diner but with friendly servers. I've heard it can be busy, but we got served on a Sunday around 1:00 without any wait. The food was good and served hot within the expected time. They have a big variety on their menu. read more

Love their street tacos, the owner is awesome and her employees are always friendly to me.

We don't get to Susanville very often but we enjoy coming to the Courthouse Cafe for breakfast when we have high school baseball games in town. The service is warm and welcoming. The women servers make you feel like family. Our breakfast is always tasty, coffee strong, and well priced. It's small and reminds me of an older Jack in the box location. Good local fun. We always have fun and look forward to returning. It's become our tradition. read more

Courthouse Cafe - California omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Susanville, California

Nothing special, I don't recommend. You're not missing out on anything by skipping this place. Friendly people, but food is bland and made with cheap ingredients. Greeting when we walked in was friendly and they quickly found some seats for us. Took our orders and we had to wait a long time for the food to come out. Some people that ordered after us got their food before us. Probably depends on what's ordered, but still upsetting to see when we had to wait so long. Oatmeal was dry and they were out of the nuts that comes with it. I was not warned of this when I ordered. Beef and Vegetable Soup was basic, made with carrots that come preshredded in the bag and gristly beef pieces. Jalapeño Bacon Benedict was served on cold biscuits instead of english muffins! That combination just didn't taste right. Restrooms were out of order, both men's and women's. Otherwise place seemed clean and orderly. To finish off the mediocre meal, we were presented with a miscalculated check! Take a close look at your bill if you decide to go against my advice and try to eat here. They also charge more for credit card. -.- read more

Great food! I ordered breakfast (Benedict), and my husband ordered Mexican food. They nailed both! Delicious!

Food and service were great. We were a little concerned, given the look of the old building and old buildings A&W root beer restaurant that looked a little shabby. Our waitress was very friendly and the service was prompt and the food was great. read more

The burgers we had were good and food came fast, but overall the place was grimy. Every surface was sticky, all the condiments on our table were gross-obviously had not been cleaned in a while. The server handed us a bottle of mustard we chased them for that was so caked with dried ick we didn't use it. Servers were very nice but they did a lot of standing around together the counter, had to get up to ask to wipe down our table. It was still sticky. Restroom matched the rest of the place for cleanliness. read more

Sadly, this place has gone downhill since I posted two years ago. I went to lunch with a friend. I asked for water and asked for hot tea. When my friend arrived, she asked for hot tea as well. I got the water not too long after I asked for it and it was a nice big glass of water which I really enjoyed. However, I had to ask twice for my tea. My friend had to ask at least two times where her tea was. I ordered the chicken fajita omelette that came with country fries and rye toast. My friend ordered the fish and chips. She got her food probably at least five maybe close to 10 minutes before I got my food. we also had to ask for cutlery and napkins. When the omelette came, there was no sour cream or salsa as had been mentioned on the menu. I asked the lady that brought it to me, I believe she was the owner, if it came with salsa and sour cream. She snippily said to me that she was going to get it. She also brought the toast out a bit later. It was one piece of toast, cut in half, not the usual two pieces. There was no jelly on the table. I waited and waited and waited for someone to come and ask us if everything was all right. My omelette was tasteless. Even with salsa and salt and pepper, there was no flavor at all. The menu said three egg omelette, but it didn't seem like there were three eggs in the omelette. The potatoes were OK, though they did need salt and pepper. finally, the lady that had brought my food came over and just asked if we needed to go boxes. I said I needed one, but I also wanted some jelly. She asked me what flavor and I told her blackberry. She brought me blackberry jelly. By then my toast was cold and limp. I brought my half of the omelette that I couldn't stomach home and gave it to my dogs. The young girl that took our order and brought us our checks was a sweetheart. Fortunately, my friend and I had a great conversation. Oh by the way, she ordered fish and chips and it didn't look too bad and she didn't say anything about it. Sadly, I can't recommend this place. read more

The Courthouse Cafe is our favorite stop to and from Reno on the way to Lake Almanor. All the food is great. Service awesome. Worth a wait if necessary!!! We eat outside as typically our dog is with us! read more

Stopped in on our way to Reno. We were greeted by friendly staff. Our waitress (I think was the owner) was full of energy and suggested we try her Mexican food dishes. I went with the carne asada burrito. Carne asada was very flavorful and the sauce was more of a tex-mex sauce which was delicious. Highly recommend and will be stopping in next time we are in town read more

My husband and I love Courthouse Cafe. The food is consistently good. I've never had anything I didn't enjoy here. It's a nice combination on American and Mexican. We consider this our favorite restaurant in Susanville! We have a couple favorite servers who are always friendly and provide great service. They are open for breakfast and lunch only. We wish they had dinner also, but it's still our favorite. read more

Ok place for a not so quick but good food stop. Breakfast was very good. Local hangout. Back to the road trip... read more

The place was full when we arrived so we had to wait, but that's understandable on a weekend in a small city with little more than a handful of sit down restaurants. The service was good, but the place is generally grubby looking. You know what I mean, could be spotlessly clean but everything is so rundown and old it will never look clean again. And it didn't help that it once the A&W drive in where I earned my first real paycheck 50 years ago. The food? Maybe my dining partners knew what to order since they have eaten there before, but my quesabirria tacos were almost flavorless. The beef filling tasted like under seasoned pot roast, and the broth tasted like beef broth from a carton with added grease. No spicy goodness. The refried beens tasted peculiar -- not like refried beans -- and the rice may as well have been paper pulp. Every time I think too hard about the dish I feel a bit queasy. read more

$20 for 4 fried eggs on a child portion on hash browns (limited because i have a food allergy) great food, but I'm never paying for that disrespect again. read more

Courthouse Cafe - $20?!? Never again - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Susanville, California

The restaurant is very casual, staff is nice but the service VERY slow and the food was NOT that great! I ordered the birria tacos combo that came with a side of rice and refried beans....Looks can be deceiving (see my photo). Let's just say everything was nasty! The rice was sooooo mushy that it was literally those $2 microwave bags of rice! How did I know it was microwave, well I had just bought same kind from the grocery store and it tasted exactly the same! Now the beans.....those too were not fresh as they were also from a can! I can tell the difference from homemade vs store bought! Finally the birria tacos....i had high hopes for these too but they were not good. The meat also tasted like the pre-packaged meat you can buy at any store! Total let down. Not sure if the business is trying to cut corners but the food quality is terrible. Other yelpers that said their food tasted like canned / packaged food were right! Should have known better than to order Mexican food from a cafe.... Will I come here again....NO....come here if you want but don't order what I got. read more

Went here while on business in Susanville and was pleasantly surprised. Food and service was excellent! Ordered to go and a member of our team has celiac. The staff was very accommodating and offered to make their French fries without flour to make sure they were gluten free. So appreciated when it can be hard to find good gluten free options, especially in a small town. Portions and pricing were great and would recommend! read more

Came here with 4 of my buddies and we were hungry because this morning all I had to eat was a few slices of ham and half a slice of Hawaiian pizza and although I have always wanted to go to Hawaii I don't think that is the right type of pizza for the morning. They sat us right away which was awesome because two of my buddies are German and you don't want to make them wait. My buddy got the chicken fried steak special with over easy eggs and country style potatoes and English muffin and I got the exact same thing as him. He is so cool! Our waitress was Kim, and she is the best waitress we have had in a long time. I told her this when we were leaving, but it's not because I was flirting with her. One of my buddies was kind of flirting with her and I didn't get in the way of what they had. They had something special. Similar to the special thing I had with my buddy who I ordered the same thing as. You have to be careful with flirting with awesome waitresses because then what if you aren't hungry anymore and it is time to go but you are sad because you liked her. read more

I was booking it to Bend and needed some breakfast. I called and was able to place an order to go. I ordered the Super Burrito, two breakfast sandwiches with sausage, and biscuits and gravy plus.

Food and service was meh. Waitress didn't get our orders right. Added hash to a breakfast that didn't include it. Asked for 2 English muffins, 1 without butter, and after receiving our breakfast we waited for them finally having to get up and ask for them. They were untoasted and dripping with margarine! She charged us for coffee that we didn't order or receive. Timing and accuracy were really off and the place wasn't busy at all. read more
