    Chicken Fried Steak XL, pancakes & Mamba Mimosa
    Haze B.

    Went here with my family (Party of 13) for my birthday brunch. The staff are welcoming, friendly and quick. The food was delicious. This is a great spot for breakfast and we'll definitely be back.

    Nice presentation

    Service is always on point. Early burs specials are one-of the best in town and just the right amount of food that will leave you satisfied and not sleepy I cant say enough good things about this place!

    Pancakes
    Asad K.

    Came here on Labor Day Monday with a group of seven, and we had such a great experience. The service was prompt, the wait time was short, and everything came out fresh and hot. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was amazing - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The mango mimosa was an even better addition, and honestly, I'd come back just for that. Every main dish also came with a side of fluffy pancakes, which were spot-on and made the meal feel complete. Now, I'll say the aesthetic isn't the fanciest, but that's not what you come here for. You come here for the service and the food, and they absolutely delivered on both. One detail that really stood out: my niece wanted a gumball from the machine by the register, and I didn't have a quarter. The young man at the register was kind enough to hand her one - such a small gesture, but it really showed how welcoming and family-friendly this spot is. Safe to say we left a good tip, and we'll definitely be back.

    I'm from out of town and have been here twice - once during the weekend (when there's a wait time) and once during the weekday (around 8am when there was plenty of seating. This place is the perfect breakfast spot. Big portions, tasty food, great service. This is also a great place for brunch with PLENTY of mimosa offerings. There's lots of places to sit but again during the weekend it gets busy but thankfully it is attached to a parking lot. All in all come here for good ol' diner food! PS: special shout out to their huge pancakes and their hollandaise sauce!

    California omelette

    Amazing amazing amazing! What an amazing brunch we had today at Hot Off the Griddle. Heather was super attentive to us. We ordered the California and the Southwestern omelettes. The hashbrowns and biscuit were delicious. The service was quick and the food was hot and delicious. It gives family dining. Like everyone is a regular! Loved it. 9/10

    Had the pleasure of having breakfast here at Hot Off the Griddle. Our server was so nice and down to earth. We were greeted and were given water and menu. Let me say first , the portions are very very generous here. You will walk out full. I ordered an Eggs Benedict and wow, it was huge for breakfast. But I gobbled it all, well most of it lol. The eggs were cooked perfectly, nice a yolky as they should. The ham was thick. So very good. My potato bits were seasoned nicely and the dish had a side of fruits which was just the topper. I was very satisfied after my meal and with the service. Will have to come back when I'm in Sacramento. Plenty of seating inside and has a pretty chill vibe. There wasn't any loud music of that sort. It was pleasant eating breakfast here.

    Solid breakfast place up north. I always seek a new spot to try on my early days, so this was perfect. In my opinion, this place is good, not great. My corned beef and hash was definitely not standard or the store bought variety, but it was slow cooked for 6 hrs and I appreciated that. The potatoes were well seasoned, but I prefer them to be crispier. Eggs are eggs. I always opt for an extra egg for the protein and to balance out the meal better. The biscuit was definitely made in house, but was a little dry for my taste. It was still palatable. They have a nice menu and place seemed pretty packed for a Wednesday late morning. The service is simple and quick. They have a very large counter area that I sat at and really liked. You have quite a bit of space. I took a video for you guys to appreciate the vibe. It's pretty straightforward, The food is definitely a little elevated, but not "knock your socks" off great, but that's okay. I think this is a great option for breakfast for Natomas natives or people nearby. Rec'd: corned beef hash, HOTG Benedict, and the chicken friend steak

    Inside!

    First time in.... Friendly service with a smile at 7:30am. Place was already hopping, which bodes well for it being a legit find. Menu had some really nice breakfast options with all the basics; eggs, meats, pancakes, waffles, omelettes, Benedict's, scrambles, and of course biscuits and gravy!!! Another nice feature is the ability to order a larger portion (XL plates) down to small portions. Basic strip mall type interior that's kept clean and well ventilated, which is super important given the amount of cooking going on in the kitchen! Coffee black this visit, so can't comment on any of the juices or other mixed drinks. Lots of mimosas and cocktails with a small beer and wine list available if that's your breakfast thing! Since it's my first visit I had to go with biscuits and gravy w/scrambled eggs and sausage links. Biscuits are good sized and just the right mix of fluffy/consisntecy. I'm not a fan of dense biscuits, nor do I like them too fluffy. These hit the mark! Bacon based gravy, not the traditional sausage so it hits a little different, and is really good! Two eggs scrambled really seemed like four.... So perfect!! Sausage links were also decent sized and perfect for cutting into 6 slices each to enjoy with epic bites of BnG and egg. All in all... they earned this high rating on the first visit! If I make it back I'll provide an update, if warranted!!!

    Food was good! Bridget was super helpful and we had just missed the morning rush. Lots of options at this place, and everything looked and smelled yummy. Will definitely be back to try some other things. Didn't even take a picture before we dug in haha!

    Amazing tuna salad
    Rondale H.

    Great atmosphere, great customer service, and absolutely AMAZING food! Thus far, I have only tried their tuna salad with an extra egg, extra Italian dressing, and added spring mix salad. I have also had their blue burger salad with extra blue cheese and blue cheese salad dressing. Let me tell you...BOTH were ! I experienced an issue with my first order but they made it right. I strongly believe that because of how amazing their food and customer service is, it doesn't matter to post exactly what occurred. Thank you guys for such an amazing first and second time experience!

    Loaded Breakfast Burrito
    Marsalia R.

    Food & Service Food's always great here so is the service today. I had food to go and let's just say this : I ate some put in the microwave ate some a little bit later and there's still ton left. Don't come here if you're not gonna eat a big amount or you don't want leftovers be prepared to have a huge portion. I'm glad that this location is where it's at. It's nice to have something in South Natomas with a few other places over here. The potatoes is what I was craving and was perfect Have you tried the gravy? You should! Hubby got the loaded burrito it was huge. It seems to always be packed here, but seems good. It would OK with my mom. I've always been able to get a seat. Normal level of sound & nice big windows

    11/25 - Chili & Cheese Omelette...great spice in this chili!!
    Nonie B.

    First a big thank you to the hosts and Bridgett, our server. So friendly!! I had the chili & cheese omelette. It was spiced deliciously!! Best chili & cheese omelette I've ever had! My guest had the hangover burrito and said it was loaded with flavor. Would definitely recommend this place!!

    Hot chocolate
    David L.

    This place is awesome! I think they are better than pancake house and give better value than crepe city and gives the bear a run for its money! The drinks are not cheap. $4.99 for hot chocolate. But there is one refill! Also the kids menu is the best value. Less than $10 for French toast, sausage, bacon, and egg. That's a lot! The regular bacon breakfast comes with everything! Including potatoes! And it's a lot of potatoes. It's packed but not out the door on a Saturday morning. And there are plenty of seating. Event is here. All ages and from every corner of the city! I definitely recommend it and will come back with the fam!

    Are you still offering outside dining? If yes, when is the best time to come to guarantee a seat outside? Thanks!

    No small place, don't see we one would seat out side

    Do they serve bacon alternative like turkey bacon, etc?

    Why don't the waiters wear masks?

    They do wear masks

    Are they open for outside dining these days?

    Absolutely. We have plenty of outdoor seating!

    Does HOTG have a catering option?

    Yes, they do catering and host events as well

    Can you order to go?

    Always!

    Do they make a thanksgiving sandwich?

    Not this year Zach. We couldn't get the smoker going because of the rain this year so no Turkey. Just our normal house made Turkey breast for our sandwiches.

    What is the noise level here and is the piped in music bothersome?

    Low, I get there when they open and I have not heard any piped in music.

The happy hour prices were reasonable and had so many great options. Can't say for certain about the parking situation because it was a close walk from our hotel. We ordered 2 mocktails, the watermelon sugar and basil berry fizz. Both drinks were super sugary and tart, which I ended up diluting with water. Still refreshing and tasty, but I think it was a bit overkill on sugar. For our mains, we tried the rigatoni bolognese, trio of fries, and chicken tenders. All food and drinks for under $50! The portions were massive, especially the trio of fries, which I was not expecting. The sweet potato fries were a bit soggy compared to the other 2, which were significantly crispier. The chicken tenders were ok and probably the least exciting thing we ordered haha. On the other hand, the bolognese was by far the standout! Flavorful, rich, creamy and the cheese pull from the pasta was to die for. Our server was super cool and patient with us, as it was our first time coming here. Totally recommend checking this place out with a group of friends to enjoy happy hour.

At the end, we ended up seating outside and all the time wasted could have been to help other people. Our server was friendly, but since we were outside she would take awhile to come outside. The meatloaf was a big plate and my husband could not finish it. He did say it was a bit salty. The shrimp and grits were great (would recommend).

We were seated outside which was lovely, especially given the weather and the slight breeze. I appreciate that they offer an option for reservations. Many brunch places do not do those nowadays, which I hate. Every brunch requires a coffee. I appreciate that they do lattes here, rather than just hot or iced coffees. They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.

I ordered a Guinness and we moved to the back area as our group grew too large to have at the small front tables. They have breakfast and lunch available and had an impressive menu for what I thought was just a bar. We asked our server what she recommended and she said the waffle fries and French toast are great. While we passed on the French Toast (this time- I'm more of a savory breakfast person) we did get waffle fries ($7) and their Zebra Special ($15.50) that comes with two eggs, meat (ham, bacon or sausage), hash browns, and choice of toast. We paid a little extra to get a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. We also ordered jello shots for the group and it was very fun having morning jello shots with breakfast. They have a lot of televisions here and seem to serve as a watch party destination for a lot of sports fans. They also have an outdoor area, which is great for groups, but we also noticed that the small of people smoking wafted into the inner dining area from outside which was a drawback for me. The staff here was so nice and attentive and we had so much fun with our group here. Would highly recommend checking them out.

The food was delicious: I had the pear and pecan French toast and my wife had fried green tomatoes egg Benedict which she found super yummy. Their multiple line check-in and wait system where you line up again in a separate line once texted, process is an admittedly a bit clunky but I also surprisingly found it be very efficient. We went in on a Friday mid-morning and the wait for 2 was only about 15-20 minutes. I was blown away by how nice it was on the inside, it's a lot bigger and more modern than you would expect from seeing it on the outside. I'd say there are about roughly 25-35 tables combined inside and outside, so don't be discouraged if the line looks long. I promise it's not the hole in the wall it seems on the outside - it's really roomy on the inside! The food also comes out SUPER quick and the wait staff is super attentive and friendly. The only thing that I didn't quite understand was their pricing on their brewmosa. It's listed as $10 and it includes a PBR and only a splash of OJ but if purchased separately full cup of OJ and a can of PBR they're listed at $4 a piece. So I was a little bit confused and asked the waiter who was equality admittedly puzzled. I ended up buying the separate items and making my own brewmosa. I will say it was quite delicious! Their OJ is freshly squeezed which is a big big plus! Anyways I would highly recommend this place and we hope to be back soon if we find ourselves back in the area!
