Hometown is my favorite breakfast spot in the north valleys, it feels like a throwback to the diners of our childhood, and the food is delicious! Hot coffee is refilled quickly, service is friendly, and the prices are extremely reasonable! There, waffles are so fluffy, and I love the sausage links they have here with a bit of spice to them! read more

A coworker and I had a site visit near here and since it was around 10AM we decided to grab breakfast while out there. He said this place had the best breakfast in the area so of course we were curious. It is a bit of a drive from the freeway (2.1 miles) as we arrived it looked like it was in a gas station however it is actually not and has its own entrance on the side of the building next to a vet. As you come in, the waitress yells from the back to sit anywhere (a simple sign would resolve this, as the entire time she would continue to yell this as others arrived). As we sat, water was immediately served at our table along with our drink order, as we were given menus. The menu has all sorts of options from breakfast to lunch so it was a little hard to pick. We both ended up getting omelets, his was the sausage one with hashbrowns and I got the Veggie plus fresh Jalapeño's for myself with potatoes. I asked which potatoes were more crispier as I do like my potatoes crispy. I was recommended the house potatoes and unfortunately they were not crispy but burned and some even a bit undercooked. Overall the omelet was good just a simple veggie omelet loaded with Veggies and Jalapeños as I ordered it but the potatoes were uneatable. Cool spot though and will come back to try couple other items before completely crossing off my list. read more

Hometown cafe is a crowd favorite for everyone at work. I work out in Lemmon Valley so I come here for lunch often and more often than not, I see coworkers there also. It is definitely a hidden gem and I would not have ever come here if I didn't work near it and boy am I glad that I do. They are a diner so they close rather early, I believe they close at 2pm now but they have breakfast and lunch food. They have an extensive menu that has everything from bacon and eggs to spaghetti and meatballs! I know that some of us might get scared of a big menu but they do each of their items well. If I'm in the mood for breakfast I would either get Susie's scramble, eggs Benedict, or a chicken fried steak depending how hungry I am. You get a choice of hash browns, home fries, cottage cheese, or fruit, and most breakfast items come with toast. Their home fries are my go to. The potatoes are perfectly cooked and crisp with lots of flavor. I usually prefer hash browns with my breakfast but I always get the home fries here. They are so tasty. Susie's scramble is like a joes scramble but better. It has ham, mushrooms, spinach, and cheese! Can never go wrong with that! They also have Joe's scramble if you prefer that! The eggs Benedict are tasty here! The hollandaise has a great texture and the eggs are always poached perfectly. It's simple but good. When I can't decide what to get, I usually end up getting a Benedict! There's the classic Benedict, corned beef hash Benedict, and chorizo eggs Benedict. Always nice to see a variety in Benedict's! I've only had the chicken fried steak once but it was good! Nothing spectacular but it satisfied my chicken fried steak craving! It was a solid chicken fried steak with good gravy and cooked perfectly. Breading didn't fall off like a lot of other chicken fried steaks that I have had. Their sandwiches are all very good, can't go wrong with any of them and the one thing that I find to be oddly addicting is their spaghetti and meatballs. There is something about it that just makes me keep coming back for more. The pasta is not mushy, the sauce gives off a very "homey" feel, and they don't skimp on the meatballs! This also comes with the soup of the day or a side salad. A great value! The staff is always nice here even when they are busy. It's a great spot and more people should get out there and try it! read more

Food awesome! Service awesome. I was so sad to realize I have been in north valley for 15 years and just to find this gem!! Eggs Benny was my favorite!! read more

Well I'm amiss for not taking any pictures, but WOW what a meal. I had the chilaquiles and they did not disappoint! If you are near Hometown, give them a go and you will not regret it :) read more

If ever in Lemmon Valley and want a good breakfast spot. check this place out. Friendly service, friendly staff! Great portions, fair prices. read more

Gather round, kids! I'm gonna tell you a story about a beautiful, giant, cheesy, delicious breakfast burrito. It's gigantic, stuffed with eggs, salsa, cheese, and your choice of meat (CHORIZO! Pick chorizo). It's smothered in enchilada sauce and melted cheese and served with Pico and sour cream. They also put some hash browns on the plate but those might fill you up too much to eat your burrito, so approach them with caution. This was our second visit there. It's a great place. The service is good. It's always really busy on Sundays. We squeezed through before there was a wait today but they were lined up by the time we left. The prices are reasonable breakfasts really are good. Solid, hearty, huge portions of comfort food. Last time I had eggs and sausage. It was good. The waffle looks really good. The chicken fried steak is good. The B&G is ok. The breakfast burrito is my new obsession though. I wonder if it likes me as much as I like it. If you go to this restaurant and you don't try the breakfast burrito, you're doing yourself a disservice. You've been warned. read more

We, have been eating at Hometown Cafe for many years. We love them. Best clam chowder, better than Atlantis. Great service. Generous with food and they listen to how you'd like your order.

This time for an early lunch. Around 11 AM. BLTA and a taco salad for today. Pretty solid lunches and no skimping on the avocado or any ingredients. The key here is the super friendly service. Lots of regular customers but everyone is treated nice. read more

Their breakfast is the best! I am super picky about my eggs and they make them great every single time. Everyone here is super friendly! Everytime I come in I have enjoyed their breakfast. Today I had a chili cheese burger with an egg and home fries instead of regular fries. It was dreamy! Always get the home fries they are so damn good!! I have been here once for dinner and I can say I was not in love, but some of my regulars tell me the prime rib here is bomb, so I will have to come back and try it! read more

Hometown Cafe - Chili Burger, add an egg. Soooo good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is a great older location in the North Valleys. Service is great, food is mostly well executed standard breakfast fare, and fairly consistent. Is it gourmet and trendy? No. Good solid breakfast place to get your grub on? Yes. We frequent this establishment often and will continue. The "fancier" breakfast places are way over priced and have reduced the menu selections. read more

Very good service, very good food across the menu, and the only truly Hometown Cafe ambiance left in the region.

Great food, good service, reasonable prices. Acoustics could use a little help, but it's not bad.

I love going here with my mother they serve some of the best breakfast options staff is always super nice! And it's beautiful inside has photos and paintings of nearby beauties! read more

Good food and lots of it. Service is quick a d friendly. The food doesn't seem "fast food" ,it's homemade quality.

Service and food were both exceptional. It's our "go-to"restaurant for Mexican Food in our neighborhood read more

Good local spot for breakfast! Best restaurant to get breakfast at in the North Valleys. Service is always fantastic no matter how busy!

Best home style food .We always receive great service. I've been coming to the restaurant for many years and it is still one of our family favorites. read more

I have been coming to Hometown for several years now, and I am yet to be disappointed by the food. As I stated in my previous review, the food is fantastic and the portions are very generous. They offer daily specials, which are usually pretty good. I love that you can walk in and seat yourself anywhere. I ordered pancakes (blueberry) from here for the first time, and I was not let down. They were a decent size, but not so big that they became the only thing on the dish that I could eat. They were fluffy and filled with tasty blueberries. There was plenty of butter, but could have used more syrup. I was given the option of a sausage patty, and the thing was almost the size of a hamburger patty! Our daughter ordered the breakfast burrito, and thought it was very tasty. I am planning on ordering that next time we come. My one knock would be the out dated restrooms. read more

If comfort food in the North Valleys is what you're looking for, this place is where we go to. It may fit the definition of a hole-in-the-wall place but the restaurant is a favorite local go-to and you see neighbors and familiar faces on any given day. Their food is decent and so is the price. They have added Carne Asada to their breakfast menu recently and I decided to try it. I really like the fact that it came with a good amount of thinly cut steaks, 3 really good sized thin cut sirloin steaks (at least I think it's sirloin). Best part, steaks were not overly cooked and not overly seasoned at all! The only downside is the beans. Seemed like it was pre-poured on the plate and left under the warmer that it was crusted over from being dry. But I didn't really mind because I'm not really fond of refried beans, so I just didn't eat it. Mentioned purely for plate presentation. I wonder if they will add guacamole to their sides as well rice as an alternative to the beans or the tortillas. I hope they do. The best part is the staff. They really provide good service to everyone. Most of them have been working there for so long that you get to know them and they pretty much can remember your favorite dish. read more

Food was great with large portions. Our server was very attentive. Prices were okay except for the orange juice which cost me $6 for a large. read more

Woooowwwwww! Love this place. It's always packed - and for good reason. They have a really incredible selection of offerings and it seems like most the staff is Mexican so they really throw down with the chorizo and eggs con papas. Repeat breakfast orderer.... I'll have to try the lunch some day! read more

Everything I've tried from the menu taste very good. Have great service, and they are fast! We love to go there at least once a week! read more

They had good food. The waitress was kind, and they brought food right away. If you want a local joint to go this is the place.

I ordered the chopped sirloin steak that came with a side salad, mashed potatoes, and gravy and steamed veggies. The food was plated messy. The best thing about the meal were the veggies. My salad was missing but they gave me the croutons and ranch on the side as requested. The "chopped sirloin steak" was a hamburger patty which although not what I expected would have been ok had the food had any seasonings or flavor. My first time ordering food from here so I may try another dish but I do not recommend this one read more

Great breakfast, there eggs were cooked perfect and the hash browns are awesome as usual. Fantastic service I must say, I felt like I was in a five star hotel restaurant, we had several staff accommodate us, I would recommend this place to anyone who likes home style good old fashion cooking read more

Hometown Café is one of our favorite casual dining spots. The food is excellent. The service is always friendly and helpful. The ambience is quite pleasant. This is a very popular place which can be crowded on the weekends. This is the only negative that I can think of. It is crowded because it is so good that everyone wants to eat there. The prices are modest. It is well worth the trip, especially if you avoid holidays and weekends. You can always substitute a fresh fruit cup or other several other choices in place of French fries or hash browns. I really like their California omelets which come with avocado. read more

Staff isn't super friendly, due to having so many tables in such a small space. Food was okay.

Thought we would go north and check out someplace new and Hometown Cafe showed up when I Yelped BRUNCH in the north valleys area. They were easy to find using the handy dandy map directions on the always awesome Yelp app! Located in a kinda mini strip mall, there's plenty of parking (and gas next door in case you're low on fuel). Inside there's lots of room for seating and for good reason... the place was packed! We found a cozy little table near the counter which has about 8-10 seats as well. We were greeted at the door and immediately after sitting down also. We were served coffee within 1 minute of sitting down! Did I mention the place was packed? We got service like we were the only ones there! Our server stopped by twice just to see if we were ready to order. I finally settled for the chorizo and eggs with home fried potatoes and flour tortillas. I also ordered two grilled jalapeños! Yummm! The boss got chicken fried steak and eggs with home fries and toast. The chorizo and eggs was good inside a warm tortilla and even better with a nice big bite of grilled jalapeño! I like mine spicy and the only problem was that they only had Tabasco for hot sauce. No bueno! If Tabasco flips yer skirt up then you'd like it here. I'm not a Tabasco guy and would have enjoyed my meal more with a bit more heat. Wife's chicken fried steak was a decent version of the standard breakfast item. Gravy was tasty. Our server was great and stopped by to ensure all was well and our coffee cup was full several times. The entire staff really seems to enjoy their job and it shows. They all were smiling and having fun and getting everyone served promptly! A well oiled machine! The total was about $26. Of course they received a generous tip as well! I really like good service! A fifth star awaits when I find they've added some different hot sauces to the mix. Solid place! read more

Hometown Cafe - Homey - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

January 20, 2019 Sunday - 6:45 AM for Breakfast 1 Adult Atmosphere - 5 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - Let's try a place that I have not been to that is close to home. Atmosphere - Located within a strip mall and the foot print of the business is a little weird. As dinners goes it has very fresh feel, not worn down like most. Food Drink - Coffee, she was filling up every ones cups regularly. Once I had to even say no on a top off. The coffee was very hot so the top off allowed me to drink a little more without scolding my mouth. Breakfast - I am always looking for something different when I go out for a meal. The pancake sandwich was the unique thing on the menu. Two pancakes with eggs, and bacon or sausage. I ordered my eggs over easy and I got the sausage patty instead of the links. It was more of open face sandwich with the sausage on the side, so I was a little disappointed with the arrangement. But everything tasted great. Service - Spot on. The place actually had a good crowd early this morning. Future - Yes. read more

Awesome Breakfast! Even better service! I eat here once a week and the food and service is consistently fantastic!

Food was not good but the service was nice. The orange juice tasted like it was expired or the cup was dirty. Ambience was decent.

Comfort food at a great price. Staff is very polite and attentive. Very consistent food and service quality.

Love going here. They make you feel welcomed. The food is always on point. The restaurant has old fashion kitchen tools all over the place. Great music playing all the time. Always clean. read more
