    Stopped in for breakfast & its was super tasty! Service was great, the restaurant is dated but its cute, lots of people coming in, looks like locals, we are visiting in Ione

    Biscuits and gravy
    Henry C.

    The food that we ordered was narely average in taste. Biscuits and gravy, French toast, eggs, sausage. The wait staff was slow to get to our table to take our order. It took 25 minutes for our breakfast to arrive, the place was not busy at all. There was a group of 10 local friends show up about 15 minutes after us and they got immediate attention and their drinks arrived faster than ours. We finly got our meals, but less then 5 minutes later, that large group got theirs. I was very disappointed in this place and I have been here a number of times before. I don't think that locals should get better service than us occasional visitors. I am going to consider not eating here again, this left a sour taste in my mind. Average food, slow service. ( The waitress was friendly and did a semi good job, just slow).

    Bacon chicken sandwich. So good!
    Rebecca R.

    This place a gem. Thought it got great reviews because there aren't many options in the area but it surprised us. Hubby got the grilled bacon chicken sandwich and raved about it. I got the patty melt. My lord! Drool! And the fries are thick and clearly hand cut. Whenever we're back in the area, we will certainly try more items.

    They could have said that they were closed Wednesdays on Yelp

    I am constantly on the hunt for delicious local eats, as I really enjoy supporting small business…read moreowners in my county. Ever since Bistro Saechao opened a few months ago, I have been wanting to try their food! I first found about this place via their social media accounts. I finally had the chance to try Bistro Saechao out earlier this week! The Thai Satay sandwich had always called out to me, and it was delicious! The sandwiches are all freshly made to order, and I got it on the French roll. The peanut coleslaw was so refreshing! The chicken satay was super juicy and flavorful, with tons of sauce dripping from the sandwich. The French roll was perfectly crispy and held up well with all the sauce from the chicken and the peanut coleslaw. I love a good alternative to traditional banh mi, and this was excellent. As for the drink, I had the Tutti Fruity smoothie in a 16 Oz, and as it was a pretty warm day, I was thankful for such a refreshing drink. The ube foam was a great addition to the smoothie, and all of the components meshed well. Nothing clashed in terms of flavor or texture. Bistro Saechao is inside Jackson Fitness, but it is a quiet front area and there are bar chairs inside as well as a few rustic metal tables outside to sit if you wish to eat there. The owners are super friendly and are always keen to answer any questions about the menu, and the food is made with care, so expect a reasonable wait time after you order. I would love to try the other food/sandwich selections Bistro Saechao offers, as well as their other smoothies. I will be back in the near future!

Comes with cheese bacon and a sunny side up fried egg on top. If you want a different style cooked egg, eg hard cooked you have to ask. Also comes with lettuce, tomato, fresh and pickled onion plus you can ask for ketchup and mustard. Great size, delicious and the bun was like no other. They also have gluten free buns. I got smashed red potatoes as my side, also delicious. I opted for water, it's "strawberry" water so has the essence of strawberries. The large pitcher which they serve from has big ripe strawberries. What a refreshing treat instead of plain or lemon water. My mom and I had a very nice breakfast, again the customer service was excellent and the woman owner chatted with us, was quite friendly and personable. Again she was just a delight. I can't wait to go back and try some other menu items. Reasonable priced, please tip your waiter, their customer service and care is amazing.

    A Pleasant Surprise with a Small-Town Feel…read more This one caught me off guard--in a good way. I was out with my family practicing for my daughter's driving test at the DMV up the street. We pulled up Yelp to find a good lunch spot, saw the solid reviews, and decided to give it a try. When we walked in, the atmosphere had that small-town vibe--simple, welcoming, and comfortable. The food was very good. The service wasn't polished like a Michelin star restaurant, but it didn't need to be. It was authentic and heartfelt, and sometimes that matters more. You could tell the staff cared about what they were doing. The place was busy, especially for the time of day we went, which tells you something. People come here on purpose. That says a lot. We were seated quickly, our order was taken without any issues, and the food came out in a reasonable time. When it hit the table, the portions were generous and satisfying. I wish I had taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the moment. If you go, post your photos--I'm sure the business would appreciate it. If you've followed my reviews, you know I don't give out 4 stars often, and 5 stars are rare. This place earned that extra star because of how it made me feel--between the food, the atmosphere, and the service, it just worked. If I'm ever back in the area, I'm definitely coming back for another meal.

Did a quick Yelp search, and found Blue Door Bakery and let's just say, I'm glad I did! They bake everything the morning before they open, so everything we got was super hot and fresh. I went with a sourdough loaf, their garden focaccia, and their best selling morning bun. The morning bun was delicious, and I don't even like morning pastries. Great with a coffee. The sourdough bread was as good as the reviews said they were. We made multiple sandwiches at home with them and with their house made vinaigrette (definitely order a side of this), it elevated the at-home sandwiches to another level. The garden focaccia was solid but not my favorite, it did go well with the pasta we made though. I wish they sold their sandwich focaccia bread as a standalone though. I was chatting with some other people in line and they saying how they go for their sandwiches because their vinaigrette and focaccia bread was so good, so definitely plan on ordering a sandwich next time around! If you are in the area and craving some delicious carbs and baked goods, definitely worth checking out.
