Their shrimp & grits is delicious, their churro waffles are amazing too, if you're into sweet breakfasts -- or if you want a sweet breakfast for dinner.

I havent been here in a few months but this was the first time in about 10 years that I left having finished a meal still a bit hungry.

I got super comfy town diner feels when sitting down like if you come here often all of the regulars will know your name hahaha The PLUS is that they had the morning news up on their TV so I felt like I was at home since I usually catch up with what's going on in the world first thing in the morning. I ordered the CHICKEN FRIED STEAK and ooooohhhhh weeeee! It was perfect! It came with 2 perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs, hash browns, and a good sized chicken fried steak that was topped with gravy that at first bite just gives you that home cooked/ soul filling feel! The sourdough toast was generously buttered with an assortment of jams on the table to choose from. I'll take a strawberry one hahaha If you like heat, I suggest getting that hot sauce bottle labeled "Ray'" and putting that on your hash browns! It was my first time having it and WOW! I. LOVED. IT. What's Tabasco again??? Hahaha It'd go great on tacos, a burrito, anything! I was close to asking if I could buy one hahaha The coffee is good and strong! Our waitress provided great customer service. She took our orders quickly and was always there at the perfect time to ask if I needed a coffee fill up. Will definitely be back! After coming here, you'll no longer want to go to the other breakfast places in Vallejo. As of today , this is my new #1 breakfast spot! *They also have donuts! The old fashioned glazed is the best I've had in town. It's fresh and not overly sweet/ glazed. PERFECT.

We had been to the Walnut Creek Buttercup a few times and always had a good experience. Feeling…read morelike a late lunch on Friday it was time to try the Concord Buttercup, and luckily they were open all day. We were seated quickly and in spite of the after lunch timing there was still a good number of patrons in the restaurant, a good sign. We wanted to try their omelettes, so I ordered the Denver omelette and my wife the Florentine omelette. The lunch came remarkably fast, which was good because we were hungry! Each order came with hash browns on the side, which were nicely cooked. Both our omelettes were excellent, and we had enough left over for dinner. Our server was very friendly and shared that she had been there 21 years - a good sign that this place takes care of their people. We'll be back to try their desserts.

As always, the turkey was cooked perfect, the gravy was on point as was the stuffing. They prepare everything in the kitchen with fresh ingredients and nothing overly unhealthy, salty or sugary. I have had the Turkey Chili before. There was more meat than beans or tomatoes. It was a hearty bowl that left me full for hours.

Super friendly, checked on us at the right times, and just brought a really great vibe to the table. For a Saturday morning, the wait was totally reasonable. The menu alone guarantees we're coming back. Too many things we still want to try. We ordered the Hunter's Skillet with pork adobo and it was legit. Not just seasoned on the surface, the flavor carried through every bite. Swapped toast for biscuits and gravy and that was the right call. Thick biscuits and a peppery white gravy I would absolutely take home and eat again. I went with the Mexican French Toast made with conchas, topped with mango tres leches sauce and fresh strawberries. It was next level. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.

Lilly was my server, and she truly has a natural gift for hospitality. She consistently greets guests with a warm smile and goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service.

It's that level of care that makes every visit such a great experience. Thank you, Lilly, for your kindness and dedication. It never goes unnoticed.

I never knew that Flippy's existed until now and I been living in Hercules since 1988. Flippy's Cafe has to be the longest business Rodeo had. I had the hamburger and I don't regret having. A juicy burger compare to D's Giant Burger. I was able to have salad on the side compare to fries which was a good choice. The service I had at Flippy's was fantastic. I was given a great service which I was given time to find out what to order. The inside of Flippy's Cafe is small. The tables are ok which shows sign of ages to prove how long Flippy's has been in business. They do keep the tbales clean and maintain. The parking lot outside Flippy's in small. You can find street parking nearby which is not a long walk. I will try Flippy's Cafe next time I am in Rodeo.

The problem was my eggs were sunny side up, not scramble. I did not complain about my order being wrong but I just ate it.

The food is good and lot better than dining at The Embers I will return to Original Mels to dine with them.

This place wasn't even busy, maybe 8-10 tables that's it. After standing there for 5-10 minutes watching 2 people check out, we were told to just sit wherever. After sitting for another 10 minutes watching the 2 other servers repeatedly pass by I had to get up and go grab our own menus. Only to get a look of astonishment from the lady at the check out area and a lady server. Luckily Jesse finally came and helped us. He told us he had been on break. He was super polite and honestly all you other servers there could take some cues from him. Glad we had him as our server and the only reason I gave this 3 stars and not 1

The food came out quickly, hot, and in generous portions, which was perfect because we were all pretty hungry after church and hadn't decided where to go until we found this spot. The ambiance was really cute, giving an old-fashioned, almost Riverdale-type vibe. It felt like a nice little getaway. We were seated and eating within about 10 to 15 minutes, and everything tasted amazing. The service was just as great. Our waiters were attentive, but I especially want to shout out Caitlyn. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to our large group of about 10 people. She handled everything so well and made our experience even better. She truly deserves recognition and made a big impact just by how she showed up for us.

He served cornbread, then saw him near end of meal to see "how I was doing". He missed the meal, my empty glass and a side dish. I had to ask for everything from expediter--a very nice guy, who clearly was experienced and helpful. I thought it unusual for a server to only take an order, but never serves. The cod and fries were fine, but 1/3 of the meal missing. The 3 stars were for partial meal, lack of attention by "server". Food was good (no side dish- potato salad), packaged frozen cod. Tipped 20% (lowest I do for service clearly not given by a waiter). During entire seating, I never Seen him pick up any food from kitchen. So not sure of role of "server". I prefer to write positive reviews. Wish I could for Evan. Guest #248
