I was visiting Oroville this morning to tend to some business, and I had not slept very well last night. I wanted an excellent breakfast, so I consulted Yelp. I ordered two eggs over easy with chicken-fried steak, a coffee, and a side of fruit. For only $15 and some change, I was pleasantly surprised with sheer excellence. The attitude of the servers was the first thing to note, very positive and constantly making sure everyone's needs were being met. Next, the coffee was really good--and I roast my own beans, so that's a big thing for me. The meal arrived very quickly, and was prepared perfectly, from the crunch of the breading to the steaming gravy, I was transported to a land of chicken-fried steak heaven. Finally, the fruit was a wonderful way to end the meal. You could see by the color alone that it was prepared fresh, and came from a quality farm--it was an excellent way to cleanse the palate after such a hearty plate. If you're looking for good breakfast eats in Oroville, I highly recommend Jenn's Café, just get there early, it's a small place and it fills up quickly! read more

Great friendly service and tasty food. I recommend to anyone looking for that hometown feel.

Service isn't that great. I've gone here twice and the girls are decent. Adults are served while kids wait for meal which causes a little chaos. $1.50 for an 1/10th of an avocado as a side. There was no napkins or condiments at our table. Potatoes, French toast, and eggs are very good. Food is very simple, nothing special. read more

First time to Oroville and found a great friendly place for breakfast and lunch! Wonderful staff and great food!

Visiting family in town. Gotta be honest didn't have high hopes until I started reading some reviews for Jenn's. Knew we were heading here...and VERY happy we did. Fantastic meal and service was top shelf. All the lady's were very pleasant, smiling and on top of every need. Thank you to all the staff for a great breakfast in Oroville. I'll be back! read more

You have to have their garlic fries!! Delicious!! Amazing!! If you're ever in Oroville stop by this hidden gem! Their breakfast was delicious, it takes a while to get your food but it's worth it. read more

Stopped in Oroville for the night on the way North. Wanted a place with good breakfast and this came up! Very good staff, good coffee(very important lol), and some of the best pancakes ever! Great job guys, we will be back!!!! read more

When Denny's and Applebee's have better food than the local restaurants you know that you live in Oroville. I've lived here most of my life and I know about the crap food that awful restaurants that pop up around here. I also like "good food", not the kind that makes you sit back and think "well that was okay". No, I'm talking about food that makes you sit back and think, "huh, that was well above average food, it was pleasing to my belly, and I would eat it all over again if there were enough room, but it was satisfactorily filling", you know, that kind of food. Well I had some of that kind of food today and it was at 'Jen's Cafe', a tiny breakfast place across from the Oroville library. I had the 'Breakfast Sandwich' (which is an actual sandwich by the way) with a side of hash browns. Let me focus on the hash browns for a second, the were cooked...well. Not only were the hash browns cook well, they were cooked increadably well. Only a few times in my life have I had hash browns that were prepared so well (and most of those times were in this restaurant's previous incarnation, 'The Iron Village'). My incredible surprise at hash browns that were not underdone or burnt (as most Oroville restaurants prefer to cook my favorite potato dish) was immediately followed by the shock of my eggs being prepared exactly as I had asked them to be. Amazing! What a novelty, you ask for over easy eggs and you get over easy eggs. Not raw, not burnt, not hard, not medium (I'm talking to you Cornucopia), but easy and runny and bathing the hash browns in a beautiful golden deliciousness. Add some bacon and some white toast (both cooked immaculately) and you have my favorite breakfast; bacon, eggs and hash browns, the breakfast of kings. The american cheese slices on the breakfast sandwich might not be the best idea for those with more refined tastes (I would have asked that they not be included had I noticed their addition to my meal when I read the menu), however I did find the addition of cheese to be a nice touch. An option of cheddar, swiss or jack might improve the meal as a whole slightly, but when it comes down to it the main thing is that the meal was cooked very well and it leaves you with a very satisfied feeling in your belly. I would (and will) eat at this place again and again, my only real complaint is that it isn't open for dinner. read more

clean, good service, portions are big, prices are good, staff is attentive, staff is attractive and business like. What more do you want ? I love this place !! read more

Great service, good biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito was huge and side of fruit fresh, busy on a Sat morning . Worth the wait

Start out by saying its the perfect place for breakfast. Only reason why I choose to rate it 4 stars instead of 5 is A. The location. B. The seating arrangements are fairly small. Although those characteristics drop it a star, I do applaud the service. Everytime I've been to this little hole in the wall, I've been taken care of well. read more

Breakfast is where this place really shines! Good, homemade style food, fresh potatoes, peppers, onions, bacon, sausage, eggs, etc. They even offer Gluten Free toast for Celiac customers!!! The parking lot is always packed because this happens to be one of the better places to grab a bite around town. Friendly staff and average prices. read more

This place is killer!! Very friendly and great service a good place to get a burger among other things

This is a cute, homey little place with friendly service. It seemed to take a little while to get our breakfast, but it was worth it. I had a delicious bacon, avocado, mushroom, and cheese omelet. It came with a generous side of hash browns (or you can also choose homestyle fries). It also came with two pieces of toast. This was a very tasty breakfast, and I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

I did not really have high expectations for this place, we were just passing through. I have to say I loved this place! One of the best omelets I have ever had. Service was slow but they were really busy, totally worth the wait:) read more

The food and service was awesome!! Will definitely be back soon. Biscuits and gravy was great - can't wait to go back.

As usual, not much available for vegetarians. Even less than the previous Iron Skillet

Absolutely love this place!! I come here about once a month with my friend for breakfast and I am never disappointed! I usually get the veggie omelet and it is delicious!! Love their home fries and their hash-browns as well. My friend always gets the French toast and she says it's really good and they always cook her eggs just the way she wants them. SUPER friendly hostesses and waitresses. They always make sure you have everything you want but don't bug you every 2 minutes when you're eating-they just keep an eye on your drinks and make sure they're full. This place is just perfect! read more

Great portions and killer breakfast.the service is good and the price is good as well.

This was a nice place, good service, but the food was greasy and tasteless. Had the reuben sandwich and it was not tasty. My mom had eggs and bacon and they were very bland. Can't figure out how everyone else thinks this place is good. But I guess that is what makes these reviews work. read more

great breakfast and even better peeps working there. they are super nice and the food came out quick. you gotta eat here!

A little over a week ago, my family and I stopped in to this cafe for the first time and had brunch. I ordered the spinach omelet with potatoes and toast, and a side of pancakes for my 2 sons. Overall, the food was good. The omelet had perfect amounts of melted cheese and veggies. My sons loved their silver dollar sized pancakes. The potatoes were OK as well...The only problem I had was the amount of oil used on my food and my toast was cold. When my plate arrived, I had to use 3 napkins to dab up the excess oil from the omelet and potatoes. The service was excellent. read more

Best place, by far, to eat! Amazing food, friendly staff and that small town comfort you can't find just anywhere! Yes it is a small place, but they are very accommodating. Get in early and be prepared to possibly wait, the lines always out the door. That's just how good it is! read more

Loved it...we saw a billboard and decided to try it, with no idea what to expect. The location is a bit random, but the cafe is clean and nice. The service was prompt and with a smile. We had 4 different meals, breakfast and lunch and everyone was very happy with their food. Loved it all. The garlic fries were great! We will be going back again. read more

Good eats! Friendly staff, prompt service and a good breakfast. Looking forward to trying some of the lunch menu.

The transition from Iron Village to Jenn's Café was almost seamless, but the differences are significant. Jenn's Café with its fresh décor is much lighter and more inviting than it was before Jennifer took over. The menu has changed a bit, and there are a few new items, but there is something for everyone; and the food is absolutely the best in town. Two things that have not changed since Jennifer took over are value and service. Everything on the menu is surprisingly inexpensive, and the portions are generous. She and her staff are friendly, competent, and speedy; which is important because now that word has gotten out, Jenn's Café is often packed. If you like home cooking in a cozy atmosphere, the place to go in Oroville is Jenn's Café. See you there. read more

I miss the old Iron Skillet. Jenn's place started out great, and has gotten poor. It is so inconsistent and skimping. I will not go anymore as I feel ripped off every time. Another one cuts corners. read more
