I loved it. It might not get the attention it deserves from the outside but the staff are friendly and the food is really good. I was surprised at the size of the pancakes and their flavor! Very good! Also the story for the owners is cool to read while sitting! It will be a go-to stop every time I'm in town read more

I hadn't ate here in awhile so I decided to go eat brunch with my friends last weekend. I ordered the tuna melt on sourdough with onion rings and I added grilled onions and mushrooms and a side of clam chowder. It was all pretty tasty! I got coffee to drink. The food came out pretty quick and all of the waiters and waitresses were very friendly. read more

Ditto what every other reviewer said. Breakfast , bacon and eggs and home fried potatoes. Oh yeah the fluffy biscuits and gravy were yummy. My brother had a western bacon Cheeseburger with fries done just right. Now let's see if we fit in the care after all that. Slightly off the beaten path on our way back to Marina Del Rey. Give it a try . P.s. service was great too! read more

What a wonderful place. Popped in here when out in Cal City for work. Amazing food and has the old local family owned vibe. Fresh baked biscuits and gravy were the best. Staff is so nice, Highly recommend read more

I love the friendly atmosphere and wonderful service from the staff. The food is fresh and hot.

The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside. Plenty of seating and frequented by locals. The service was great and the portions as expected. The food was good. I want to knockoff a star for the coffee, but that might not be fair. Admittedly I am a coffee snob so it may not bother others. I drink my coffee black. As is the case with most places they just don't know how to make a good cup of coffee. The water to coffee ratio was off or it's a poor choice of coffee. It needs more coffee to water to smooth out the taste and alleviate the bitterness. If you guys read this try 3/4 cup of coarse ground coffee to 64 ounces of water. read more

I love this place wish they were open later or even could deliver you can never go wrong eating here I love this place jenniffer and Chris Elaina do a great job serving food is always hot and delicious and the cooks Casey And Lana love to cook things up foods always fresh read more

My friend and I rode our motorcycles 80 miles one-way to explore this restaurant and it's chicken fried steak for Saturday morning breakfast. The restaurant is a classic. It is clean, has great service, even from the server working on there second day. After being seated, we quickly received menus and were questioned about drinks. The coffee was hot and tasty. We indicated our orders and before you could blink plates arrived with our orders. The food was hot and nicely plated. The chicken fried steak was think, hot, not greasy, and covered with the right amount of white gravy. The red potatoes can with peppers and onion. The were a perfect compliment to the premier entry. The toast am buttered and hot. Overall, breakfast was worth the ride. If your in the area stop by and enjoy this place. read more

My husband and I had an early morning start to our drive to June Lake Loop. After driving almost 2 hours we were both quite hungry so I started looking on Yelp for a restaurant. Coyote Cafe came up and we decided a little detour from the 14 to California City would be worth it. It was! The place was quite clean, server and cook very friendly. The food came quickly, cooked to order and quite tasty! The prices were very reasonable. We would definitely go out of our way to go there again! read more

We went camping to Dove Springs for the Holiday weekend and forgot to bring some things with us so we went back to California City for some shopping. We got hungry and so I did a quick Yelp search and found this spot with amazing ratings...too good to be true, I thought. So we tried it. Walking in to the establishment, the place was clean and organized. The inside looks like and old school American cafe with wood carved "country style" items for sale at the entrance. The owner (I presume) was nice and friendly and asked if I needed a menu, I assume it's because she gets many repeat customers that know what they want, but I needed a menu since it was my first time there. Everything on the menu sounded great; biscuits and gravy, three meat giant breakfast burritos, pancakes, waffles, and a variety of lunch menu items. We decided on the pancakes breakfast and three meat burrito. They were delicious! Large portions and the food was very flavorful! We said we would come back for sure the next time we were in town. Well, the next day on our way home we were, "back in town", so we stopped again! Ha! We both got chorizo burritos with a side of very crispy and just right amount of salt fries! Again, excellent food! Let me walk it back to the cleanliness one more time. While waiting for my order, I asked to use the restroom. The restroom too was clean and organized. Plenty of toilet paper, toilet seat covers, soap, and sanitizer. The floors were clean and the baseboards were not full of dust or buildup like some places, yes, I look at those things. I highly recommend the place! read more

I'm updating my review from a 1 star from 2015 to a 5 star today. Food and service was awful back then but today we wanted to go for breakfast so we tried them out. The food was absolutely delicious and hot. The ladies that are cooking do a wonderful job. I'd highly recommend coming for breakfast lunch or dinner. Great variety of items on the menu. The waitress was on her own and they were super busy but she had a young man helping out with coffee and beverages. I cannot believe how the 2 of them do it all out front but they do. We will definitely be back. Great prices also. read more

Was driving through just looking for a cup of coffee and went to Coyote Cafe just expecting a coffee shop but was pleasantly surprised that it was a diner. The restaurant was very clean with lots of lovely art giving an incredible atmosphere. Our waitress was very nice and quick with serving our coffee and food. The price of the food was very reasonable, total before tip was $35.56 for 2 meals with coffee. Will be a regular stop on our travels read more

Tasty food, good service. A nice little gem in Cal City. We've eaten here a handful of times.

Would like to give a good recommendation but went for breakfast and scrambled eggs were overcooked. Ordered popcorn shrimp basket another time and shrimp were overcooked and hard. read more

Folsom CA. It is similar 2 Sizzler's-you order nd pay 4 your food, choose your own table inside or outside, choose your salsa options nd drink tot left. The food came 2, our table sooner than expected. I had the Loaded Potato Tacos nd they were delicious there was a salsa I believe came with it or maybe my work daughter brought it to the table from the salsa bar, I believe it was the green, that was scrumptious, she had the Santa Fe Nachos with Chicken nd Shrimp, which had plenty of nice sized shrimp (large)...everything was good . It was my first time eating there, but it will not be my last read more

The banana cream pie was delicious. You can tell it's homemade. Biscuits and gravy was phenomenal too.

Solid little mom and pop breakfast place located along the main drag of the city. We have eaten there a few times and the service and food is always really good, portions are great and prices are fair for what you get. The biscuits and gravy is good, patty sausage is really good as well as the bacon. Hash browns are crispy and cooked throughout, will be back when in the area. Located in a strip mall, lots of parking. read more

i love this place, good food, good prices great customer service. i just wished it was open later

This place has been here a long time, and the reason why is because the serve a the good ole American breakfast. Wait staff is always good. Support small local businesses in the land of McDonalds and taco bells. I usually only give 4 stars for food that is typical, but got to give credit for how long their business has survived in these tough desert parts read more

A cozy, popular diner, with kind employees. It always has a nice vibe inside, akin to going out with your grandparents for lunch. The prices are very fair, great value for good quality food. However, the breakfast is where this place truly shines, everything is what you would expect from a breakfast, good and reliable. Their lunch is a bit lacking, with overall, mediocre sandwiches, and decent side items. Overall, I'd place the food at about a 6/10. You won't be disappointed eating here, especially their great breakfast, but it won't be amazing either. read more

Really good food. Very friendly staff. The menu is filled with anything you would want. Cal-City is lucky to have this place.
