This little eatery was busy, an old school feel inside there's not a lot of tables here, and seating is both inside and out. Friendly staff, was kind and helpful. Our server who is also the owner, dropped off a couple menus on her pass through and returned with two cups of coffee on her way back. After looking over the menu, I opted for the Ambers Breakfast Tots. Tater tots loaded, with cheese, gravy, an over medium egg plus one added and bacon crumbled all over. This is a seriously good breakfast. Filling and hearty, that hit to spot for me. 4 Stars a solid choice for breakfast 01181

We ordered the country fried steaks and the raspberry French toast special, the food did take a little long to come out, but it was good and the country fried steak was well breaded.

The staff also seems to know everyone and is friendly with all the guests, seems to be like a local staple.

It's a smaller place, with just a nice little coffee shop vibe. My server was Abigail. She was very friendly. I asked her if the name of the restaurant was a play on the TV show "Hells kitchen," and she confirmed that yes, it was. I thought it was clever. I decided to have the "vegetable mess. " Potatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, mild green chiles and eggs, "all messed up". It came Topped with jack cheese, salsa and sour cream. I had them leave off the bell peppers, and I paid a little bit more for them to add mushrooms and spinach. The "mess" came, and it was huge!! It was also delicious! The eggs were fluffy, you could definitely taste the garlic, and all of the veggies played very well with each other. The cheese was delicious, and it was just the right amount The chilies had a good flavor, and yes, they were mild The potatoes were good, and just the right texture as well. I liked the sour cream, and the salsa was not spicy at all. It had a bit of a smoky flavor. The thing was so huge, I had some to take home. The toast was a good quality sourdough, the coffee was great, and they kept my cup full. The price was reasonable. Thanks for a great breakfast. I will be back.

Attentive without being overly so, nailed our orders of four w one custom burger. Just great. The menu has a solid mix of breakfast and lunch items. My wife doesn't do breakfast and I love breakfast so it is the perfect menu for us. My mom and I love benedicts and they have four to choose from. My wife went custom burger. Mother in law - toasted english muffin w sausage. Mom had the California Bene and loved itI had the Florentine Bene - mine was not as good. The dish needed bigger tomatoes and one of my poached eggs was hammered. To be fair, benedicts are a tough dish but I make them all the time so it's doable. I would think omelettes or more traditional breakfasts would be better choices. My wife's burger was solid and again, the overall experience was excellent.

Our service was 5 star which helped since we were exhausted. I have a super strong recommendation for the Cali 101 sandwich. It might be one of the sandwiches I've ever had. The fried parmesan on the tops of the bread sealed the deal. My wife asked for a custom burger. Mind you, the kitchen was closing but chef pulled off a beautiful dish. I don't normally photo food but wish I did. My wife goes bun-less and they served the dish on a bed of spinach (which she requested and they had to dig for it). To do all that as the kitchen is closing says something. They could have just thrown it on top. I am completely stealing that one. I love amber ale and they make a good one. I hope we can squeeze one last visit in before we leave.
