I always come here during the weekend for their breakfast, but today was the first time I was able to order from their entree menu since I arrived after 11am. I ordered the Patty melt with the side of French fries (you can select fries, coleslaw or fresh fruit). We also ordered the Salisbury steak with the side of chicken soup and garlic bread. The food was delicious, my patty melt and fries were a bit oily, but it's fried food so it's to be expected. The Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes had a good flavor. Even though it was busy we were promptly attended to and had plenty of water and coffee refills. If you order breakfast make sure to ask for a side of salsa!

We're back again for breakfast. The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious, taste like homemade.We ordered a Frittata omelette with fruit and a colossal half pound cheeseburger with fries.We have been coming to this establishment for decades. The ambience is nicely decorated with plenty of booths and tables and Counter to sit down and enjoy your meal there's plenty to choose from the menu breakfast lunch, and dinner.

One egg & bacon. Served with homestyle potatoes and one slice toast. Took the pic after I started eating!!!

Local restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. We have only had breakfast there. The restaurant is always crowded which is a good sign. The good news is there is plenty of seating so we never have waited mute than a few minutes. A wide variety of menu items to choose from. I had a meal from the smaller appetite options. One egg, two slices of bacon, home style potatoes, and I slice of toast. All for about $10. The egg was cooked as I requested, and the bacon was perfectly crisp. The potatoes were a bit bland and very soft. Could have used higher flame when cooking to crisp them up a bit. Maybe I'll order hash browns next time. Service was quick and efficient.

1/26/25 Another local favorite patronized, will DEFINITELY return, good grub & excellent service! Not feeling like cooking today as I am feeling lazy & Hubby is not going to cook either. Hubby actually chose this local restaurant. When I say local, we could've worked up an appetite & walked. Surprisingly at 11 am on a Sunday with a n almost full parking lot, we were immediately seated upon entry. Drinks were offered ASAP, friendly busboy. Within minutes, Lorena, our server graciously welcomed us with a very friendly smile. Loving this place already! Ambiance is warm, clean, diner style, comfortable with booths, tables & counter service. The staff are all busy bees & the servers in particular are running on crack (okay by crack, I mean coffee/caffeine but in a wonderful way). I feel very much welcomed like a regular & like family. My coffee arrived promptly along with Hubby's Diet Coke as Lorena took our orders: Hubby's Machaca w/ beans & rice, for me blueberry pancakes, 2 over medium eggs & 2 strips of crispy bacon. I took more photos & when I returned, our food was ready! Just like that! WowZaH, fast & friendly-what more could you ask for... well the lady (owner/manager) up front could use more of that crack the servers are on!, maybe a little smile on her beautiful face certainly couldn't hurt. My food was delicious! The pancakes in particular are soft, fluffy with a delicate chew, plenty of blueberries folded in (no powdered sugar as I requested), perfectly over medium eggs, bacon is delightfully crispy. Hubby was not as impressed with his Machaca, he said it was not seasoned well enough, but he polished off his entire plate (and usually he does not eat the beans). My coffee was decent and I had about 3-4 cups (one I tried black) Overall, will surely return to try other items in the menu, Lorena said we will definitely be regulars soon enough. She was right from the get go. Now that confidence! I like her! Plenty of parking, restrooms are clean. Glad Hubby found this spot

Excellent place for chisme with the bestie. Bobbi, our server was just lovely. She was so kind and attentive. Inside is classic old school diner vibes. Long counter, very 70s or early 80s type styling. My pancakes? Perfectly fluffy. The Hashbrowns, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and well seasoned. My friend had the biscuits and gravy and graciously let me have a bite.; 10/10 no notes!

Stuffed French toast and pancakes with bacon and eggs

We have been here two times and it's our favorite local restaurant. The customer service is outstanding. The waitress Bobbie kept checking on us. I had the breakfast burrito. It was big and very tasty. The other time I was there, I had the pancakes, which were the best pancakes I ever had, buttey and fluffy; it came with bacon and eggs. My husband had the steak and eggs and he enjoyed them. We will definitely return often. On the weekdays you get served quickly on the weekend. It's quite busy, so be prepared to wait. The ambience is very family friendly. The best part about it is that everything is so clean. It might have a little bit of 90s decor, and it is outdated, but that's the point of cafés. Two thumbs up all around.

Jumbo Breakfast, Ortega chili w/ white American cheese omelet. Asked for crispy hash browns and boy did they deliver!!

I was in the area for a job and passed this place and it looked cute. Decided to stop in for breakfast and am seriously so glad I did. As you walk up to the front, there's the sound of running water with a little pond full of the cutest critters, some red eared sliders, and some koi. Off to a pretty good start, this was refreshing. Upon entering, you're greeted by the staff in a very large and open setting, it's clean, and very nostalgic which I love. The staff looked happy to be there, lots of smiles and were talking to their guests like family, immediately started to feel at home. We were seated quickly in a nice comfy booth, and started to check out the menu. There's a little bit of something for everyone, but we went with some basics as you can see in the pictures. I liked that the menu had several items for the "less hungry" crowd, which I could very much appreciate. While we were waiting for our food, our server Leti passed by with some chicken noodle soup that the smell reminded me of a very near and dear soup I'd grown with. When I asked her about it, she even brought me a small little bowl to try it!!! That never happens, and it was literally the best I'd had since, so needless to say I brought home a large to-go amount for later. From beginning to end, Leti made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Her customer service and attitude are out of this world, and for that we will actually be making the occasional drive out there from city of Orange, it was that nice of an experience. Thank you Leti, the staff, and the cooks for delivering such an amazing breakfast experience, we look forward to dining with you in the (not so distant) future.

I've eaten here twice and had a good experience both times. The food was decent and so was the customer service. The restaurant was clean and comfy. I like the little aquarium and mini pond at the front. I don't have much else to add but I have no complaints.

Carly M.

A friendly local cafe with good food and great service. Everyone is lovely and you get the feeling they truly care for their customers. Usually go for breakfast and everything is made to perfection.

Steak Omellete with home fries, but already halfway gone, before I was able to take a picture.

Found myself in the area and needed a good breakfast. Was not disappointed. Not gourmet and probably not quite Corky's or Brandon's, but I enjoyed it. Coffee was good too. The employees were friendly and efficient. The place was clean (Health Grade A) though it's a bit worn. I used to eat here decades ago when it was a pie shop. No pie now, but pretty good BLD. read more

I've been going here for years.. So I will break it down.. Its a breakfast and lunch place.. Meaning things are more fresh.. Dinner can be a hit or miss...(meaning stomach ache or no stomach ache) When ever I have dinner here, I feel bloated. I had dinner here the other day with my mom and sister and after my meal. I felt bloated and I began to sweat... and I felt a little sick...... My mom and sister (we each had different meals. My sister fired chicken, mom grilled chicken, my self, I had the meat loaf) Our plans were to go to the store afterward but 15, min into driving both my sister and my mom wanted to go home, so they could use the bathroom.. While at home, I felt bloated.. None of us had soda. Maybe it was the water they severed, because that's all we drank.. If they serve tap water, that has to change... Breakfast is good.. There was one time my hash browns seemed watery on the inside.. Lunch is good if you want a burger or grilled cheese... Again things like eggs, sandwiches are kinda things made to order... Oh on my meat loaf,. it was dry. I did have it with out the gravy because they serve it with brown gravy and I prefer a tomato sauce... Because brown seems too Salisbury steak to me.. So I put ketchup... But it did not help.. If you go here don't drink the water... I'm not being nit picky you just have to know what to order.. Their omelets are great... But the rest seems processed... I will say service is great.. Great breakfast place.. For dinner..... not so much.. read more

I have passed this restaurant for a while, and today I decided to stop in and check it out. I had a hot sandwich that consisted of white bread topped with pot roast & gravy, with a side of mashed potatoes. The dish was tasty & comforting. Simple and casual atmosphere gave a laid back appeal to it. As I waited for my order, I noticed the interaction with the waitress in our area, and several customers in which they ranted about the meals they were eating. Not something I have seen in a while, if ever. The simplicity of my meal left me full, and satisfied. I gave Joanne's 4 stars, and have definitely found a new place to dine! read more

I've been coming to Joanne's off and on for almost 10 years. I really like this diner. Typical diner food and delicious zucchini bread. I've never ordered something and hated it. I used to come for the dinner specials and lunch specials. The only negative is that you used to be able to add a soup or salad to your meal for about $1.99 I think. Which is the norm for most places... But they removed that option and to add a cup of soup is $3.49 now. Maybe it seems steep because I remember when it used to be a buck to add a soup. It stinks cuz they have good soups and salads with beets. read more

Quick little family style dinner. Had breakfast burrito, ordered a specific way (minus onions) and the burrito came with minimal ingredients. A little disappointed in the food, however for what it is. I guess by too many complaints. Vent near end of shift for wait staff, service was a bit slow and drink refills were not taken care of. I expected a little better service. Price for quantity is decent. Taste of food was sub-par. Service was below average. Over all, I would give this an average rating. If your hungry and just want a quick fix. This will work, but based on all the others around. Would seek another place to eat. read more

I have been coming to this establishment for over 4 yrs. Today I was very disappointed. I ordered my usual ham and eggs, the ham was really salty. At first I thought it was just me so I had my husband try it and he said the same very salty. I brought it to our servers attention and all she could say is that is why she doesn't eat the ham. I told her this was the first time this has happened to me, so she asked if I wanted something else, by then I had lost my appetite. I wasn't looking for a freebie but at least a discount. BTW my daughter had ordered the same thing and left her plate iust as I did. read more

I have been a client of this restaurant for 12 years, I come here with my family and / or friends, they have good prices and the food is delicious. The only truly annoying thing is that some waitresses instead of attending to you and taking the order, they start to talk among themselves or with other customers and they neglect to you, you have to wait until they take your order or they deliver it to you already warm. The customer service has dropped a lot of quality, and that is very annoying, at least I do not return even though I love it. I do not like being treated poorly. I hope that the owners pay attention to this problem because they are losing many customers and maybe they do not know why. read more

Ever since I moved here to Ontario I'd pass by & never stopped by because it is kind of hidden & didn't know the place, so I'd thought id give it a try & im glad my family & I did. The place looks clean & quiet. The people who dine here are elders. The staff are friendly & nice. What's great about this place too is that you can order on the phone and pick it up in the restaurant. & when I went to pick up my order the woman helping us out made sure there was enough condiments for us. Now for the food we ordered the stuffed French toast with the combo & fried zucchini. Wow the French toast is absolutely delicious & you can tell is made from scratch! As for the zucchini, it is sooo good and freshly cooked, it's crunchy and melts in my mouth. Overall, the customer service is good & food is absolutely great!

Basically a very good place to eat breakfast on a weekend morning, although it can get busy. So plan on waiting a little to either find parking and/or get a seat. You can also park on the street if there is room.The service here is great! Everyone is so friendly and attentive which I feel makes the restaurant have a nice, warm feel to it. The food is great and is priced reasonably. Wouldn't say it's spectacular, but for what you pay for, it definitely leaves you satisfied!! The waffle is good and comes with strawberries on top, but it is only served until 11am. Whipped cream costs extra! The country fried steak is really good and comes with your choice of toast. The jumbo breakfast is filling and has a little bit of everything for the indecisive (like myself...) for around 8 bucks. Everything I've had was really tasty and pretty good! The outside has a little pond with koi fish and turtles so you can keep your little ones entertained if there's a long wait. I really like coming here when I'm in the area. read more

Came for breakfast today with the fam and we all enjoyed everything we had. Their pancakes are very good, they don't fall apart and get mushy like the ones at IHOP. Portions were plentiful. I had a club sandwich with avocado which was pretty big and tasty. The fries were very good, crispy with just the right amount of salt. I sampled some of my wife's ribeye steak which was thin but what do you expect for a sub $9 steak and eggs. Everyone was friendly and attentive to our needs. They have a varied menu so we'll probably be back to try some of their dinner. They have a nice little koi pond with turtles right outside that my girls got a kick out of and I thought was pretty out of the ordinary. read more

My reservation that I made changed 3 times, only to add more people to our reservation that same day. Never once did they complain or state that they could not accommodate us.

She accommodated every single one of us, never messing up or mixing up the orders, when ask for extras, she got them out immediately and to add to all of this the food was excellent. If you ever get a chance to stop by Studio Four29 I highly recommend it, not just for the food, but also the service. Bravo to our waitress she was on point. Sorry no pictures, by the time we thought about it, you would've just had pictures of empty plates.

My kids were turned off by the noise of the the people watching the game (that's fine no shade, not a kids place as we realized) but we were prepared to stay, looking at a menu on our phones is what turned us off, scrolling as opposed being able to see and flip through a whole menus was super annoying to us, add to that the face that there were no servers available to ask questions about the menu or the food. I'm willing to go back early on a weekday to try the food, but without the kids to maybe sit at the bar and get actual service. We spent $30 on two beers and 2 sodas

My friends and I got a heavy helping of information from the cashier after he asked if we'd ever been - which none of us had. He went over the menu, assuring us the ingredients were all freshly prepared in-house for the most part. I opted for a lighter (and cheaper) single patty burger - "The Creaminal", which featured a shmear of cream cheese and jalapenos. We also got some fries to share, as we were told an order could be shared between 2-3 people. We got an order of regular sea salted fries, and one order of cajun fries to share between 4 of us. They were right, it was plenty to go around. To start, the burger was good but nothing too extraordinary - especially given the lengthy preamble. But there was definitely some house made quality - and I definitely want to come back and try another burger option. So why give a 4/5 stars? THE FRIES. We were told the fries were fried in beef tallow which piqued our interest. It was immediately apparent that the fries were above average in flavor. I don't think I could stop talking about them for like 4 days. Out of the two, I really liked the seal salt better, but the cajun were also great. I enjoyed how the cajun had plenty kick to it without being overpowering with spice coverage. Even more than the other burgers, I really want to try some chili cheese fries next time I visit. Though, I'm weary it might be trying to fix something that's not broken. The vibe of the restaurant was super chill, order at the counter, can/bottle drinks only, everything sold seperately. It's a little pricey overall, but again there's a lot of in-house ingredient preparation (meat cuts, sauces, etc.). Next time in the area I plan to check it out again and see if I can find a sandwich/burger that can match the flavor of the fries.

Classic American breakfast, phenomenal and friendly service, and value that you're looking for in this economy. No frills, just honest homey food that's filling.

On days I want to splurge for some extra bite to the meal we'll add bacon which is thiccc and extra crispy. Fresh and hot. Seasoned and salted; enough if you're watching your intake but not so little where you can't taste it- a good balance . Portions are filling but not excessive.

Unfortunately, the service experience declined significantly afterward. Our waitress returned several times to assist neighboring tables, including one that was seated after us, and took their food orders without ever acknowledging our table or checking on us. After waiting approximately 45 minutes to an hour, we asked a staff member who was serving coffee if someone could take our order. She stated that she would notify someone, but no one ever came to our table, and we observed her continue with other duties without following up. Given that it was Father's Day, this was especially disappointing, as it prevented my family and me from enjoying what should have been a special breakfast outing. Ultimately, we decided to leave without ordering and informed the hostess of the situation. She apologized, but by that point the experience had already been ruined. This appears to be a management and service issue rather than an isolated mistake. While I appreciate the hostess's professionalism, the lack of communication and attention from the serving staff was unacceptable. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return. Management doesn't even respond to these reviews which speaks volume.

I remembered this because Iron Skillet has got to be the fastest on the draw in terms of keeping you coffee topped off. I counted in the first fifteen minutes I was there, I had my coffee refilled four times and probably eight times in the span of the forty-five minutes I was there. The only slowdown I saw was when they dropped off the bill. Suddenly after that no one was checking on me to see if I needed more coffee. I guess they figured that I had had enough and were cutting me off. That's a mistake because as long as I'm sitting at breakfast I'm going to want coffee. The second thing I noticed was they have a damn good skillet program here, especially if want to experiment with creating your own. It was something like $15.50 to put in three mix-ins for your skillet, but only $1.50 to make the mix-ins unlimited. This time I kept it simple--sausage, ham, green peppers, and onions along with customary cheddar and three eggs--but next time I'm going to experiment a little. The skillet itself was amazing. The portion was generous, the produce was fresh, and the eggs were super runny. It really is in contention for the best traditional skillet I've ever had. The other thing that could've put it in the running for best skillet overall is if they had some exotic offerings for protein like I've had elsewhere in the country like elk, smoked pulled pork, duck, walleye, or even rabbit. Skillets are good, but skillets with like an animal you don't normally see for breakfast is amazing. I'm still on the lookout for my goat skillet. The service, as aforementioned, was impeccable. The coffee refills is the main thing I complain about other breakfast joints and here I never even had a thought to getting upset regarding that for the first portion of the meal. My only critique as you may have guessed is to continue that generosity and initiative for the whole meal. I really want me to toy with breaking double digits with the amount of coffee refills I receive during a meal. And that's only going to happen if you continue to ask me after you drop off the bill. The ambience is good. It looks like a diner. It quacks like a diner. It's a diner. I felt right at home here with all that space and mix of booths, tables, and counter space. I'm definitely planning my trip back here for that superb Build-a-Skillet and that fantastic attention to keeping the coffee overflowing in my mug.

But, although she had a real affinity for pancakes and such, she never particularly ate a lot of them at any one meal. Sure, she would try all the different international varieties and limited offerings that was on the menu, but never cared to just pack a bus load away as a testament to her love of the griddle cakes. She would've been shocked at the hubcap monstrosities they have at Zeke. These were possibly the largest pancakes I've ever been served at a breakfast food joint. Moreover, they were pretty delicious. I know there's only so much you can do to punch up pancakes. However, you can definitely ruin them by overcooking, undercooking, or just plain messing up the ratio of the batter. These were far from ruined--fluffy, hefty, and possessing a good sponginess with every bite. And they looked like the size of a Hobbit front door. The service was great. The server was quick, friendly, and reliable. He had my coffee refills on lock and honored every other request in an efficient manner. I reckon this place has excellent customer service up and down its employee roster. The ambiance of the place was great.

Then there was the battered zucchinis; they were so breaded that you could barely taste the zucchini which were also unseasoned. Neither the breading or batter they used or the zucchini seemed seasoned. We actually ended up throwing out most of the zucchini order which is rare for us because we don't believe in food waste. I wish I could say that we loved the food but it was all just too bland. On the upside if you don't care for seasoning, this may be a good place to visit. As far as the service, we went through the drive through. The employee that took our order was patient in answering questions since we explained it was our first visit. She was friendly and had more of a spice to her personality than the food. I also want to acknowledge that on their website they say that a percentage of their sales goes towards charity for the community which is incredible. We don't see ourselves returning, and if we ever do we will order burgers since they seem to be more popular in the Yelp reviews.

I always thought with mixes like this it should be 60% protein and 40% other stuff. This is getting into serious Chinese stir-fry territory into the 33/67. That's one of the reasons I don't like Chinese food as much as some, because the meat seems to be lacking. The service was good. The woman behind the counter took my order competently and got the food out quickly. The one customer concession they lacked is the one that usually annoys me in that they sell cans instead of a fountain drink. I found myself in that limbo again where I was thirsty after my first can and I had to decide if it was worth it to pay for yet another soda. Lastly, the ambiance was good. There's ample space here without feeling crowded to the tables next to you. I definitely get the sense you could relax with a book here after your meal. But, overall, even though the food tastes great, the lack of equitable protein for the price and the lack of refills on a soda make this place only okay.

The speed at the intercoms was quick and the woman who I spoke with was friendly & helpful when I asked about the chili cheese thursdays. They let me try a new idea called the red velvet coffee! It is delicious and the chili cheese fries came out perfect. Thanks for a great experience! Thanks for a clean store that been around for a good amount of time. I'm happy to be able to get a good meal here.
