Breakfast is something done very well throughout the town, we are lucky we have options. Working at a local hotel affords me the opportunity to listen to and guide people on their local culinary adventures. There are a few staples that garner much of the out of towners attention. Laurel Street Deli should be one of them. My kid and I got looking for food late and were met by long lines. We decided to walk to the Deli and found a seat. Famous for their coffee and pies, we sat. My son, a breakfast sweets connoisseur, devoured the French Toast. I was in a biscuits and gravy mood but chose a Benedict instead. It is one dish everyone has a twist too, they are either very good or blah! This one hit a homerun (baseball can't come soon enough), it lasted less time than my sons.... finally a sport I can beat him in. Not pictured was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had. Definitely get out to Laurel Street our get next to the Skunk Train. Visit Fort Bragg, California Only in Fort Bragg Shop Historic Downtown Fort Bragg, CA #eatlocal #shoplocal read more

Had breakfast one morning while in town, the restaurant inside the company store building, an old train engine sits in the middle. Some tables and chairs in the open area, with a smaller behind glass seating area. Grabbed a table up front and the server brought us menus, there is also a daily special board. Huevos Rancheros with a good cup of coffee, I went with one of the days specials. A large flour tortilla with refrieds, cheese and a couple over medium eggs on top. Basic, simple and good. It served its purpose. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the really good cup of java 01157 read more

Service was good, food meh, but didn't expect anything spectacular given the casual cafeteria style atmosphere. If you're hungry and are exploring the area around the shops and train may have better luck with your food choices than we did. We decided to share the fish and chips, clam chowder daily special and a piece of banana pie. The server overlooked us after we sat, but had a good sense of humor after I got her attention and we joked about it. After that the service between the two waitresses was spot on and friendly. We asked if the fish and chips could be made into have fish half shrimp, which they did. The food came out quickly and was hot, but the flavor of all the food from the fryer oil was way off. It tasted like burnt peanut oil, just gross. The fish was the only semi tasty item in my opinion. The soup was gritty and thick, and the banana pie had a bland fluffy stale tasting crust. Again, we didn't expect much from this deli but ya never know and our chance of a tasty snack was a fail. I'd give 4 stars for service and 1 star for food. read more

Had the fish and chips and it was definitely van de camps or Gordon's from a box...the fries were good.

$22.12 for a breakfast burrito. It's really not making sense anymore. Needless to say I have more dignity than to pay that.

Every time I'm out of town I look for a breakfast burrito spot because it's a handheld breakfast on the go. This eatery is cute right by the skunk train entrance so it's perfect for a meal before you go. We were going to sea glass beach and stopped here before going because it's pretty close. we got the jumbo breakfast burrito, I think for one person it's plenty and it's perfect to share with one other person too. It was loaded didn't lack anything I think for almost 18 dollars we were expecting it to be a little bigger though . We added avocado for two dollars more. We tipped two dollars so for one burrito it was 24 dollars with a two dollar tip. My partner said it should have been a 15 dollar burrito with and 2 dollars more for avocado making it 17 lol I like the salsa and sour cream they give you on the side and my partner said it was enough to feel content, I agree. I would buy again read more

Enjoyed our breakfast here before heading out for a day of adventure in Mendocino. The food was filling and served as the perfect fuel to hold us over until lunchtime. They had typical diner food and prices that were pretty consistent with the area. Service was friendly and food came out quickly. Portions were good and food was flavorful. This was a nice change from our disappointing breakfast elsewhere the day before. The food options in Fort Bragg weren't my favorite, but if I were to come back and needed a filling breakfast that tasted good, I'd come here again. The restaurant is located in a mall/marketplace next to the skunk train. We entered from the front and it took us a minute to find, so do park by the train if you want easier access. read more

Enjoyable ,casual ,yummy food great atmosphere! Had both breakfast and lunch both good

Laurel Deli is a solid 4. We go there frequently for lunch and the service is always fast and friendly, food is good and filling, and it's usually easy to get a table (unless it's tourist season of course), then you might have to wait a bit. Quick tip: You seat yourself, and then the waitperson will bring menus. Also, when they bring you the check, you take it to the counter to pay when you're ready. There's always a delicious lunch special running, my personal favorites are the chimichangas and the crispy chicken wrap! Definitely enough to share or to take half home for lunch the next day. I recently tried the French Dip sandwich which was pretty good. The meat was tender, not fatty or stringy like some cuts of beef can be, and the Au Jus dip was hot and delicious! The restaurant is also interesting due to the train inside! There's a lot of history to read about in the restaurant and around the whole building so take your time and look around! read more

Loved this place. Right next to the skunk train and its delivers the goods. There is a replica train inside and baseball memorabilia. The chili and clam chowder were excellent and the owner is a great guy. My only regret is that we didn't try it earlier or get a chance to go back. Two thumbs way up! read more

The perfect spot for getting a quick bite to eat when visiting the Skunk Train! We were doing both the rail bikes in the morning and the train ride in the afternoon with a short break in between, so Lauren Deli was the perfect spot to grab breakfast! The restaurant was probably about 60% full on a Sunday morning, so we were greeted and seated right away. My boyfriend and I split a Breakfast Burrito with bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese, and hash browns and a Veggie Breakfast Burrito with bell pepper, mushroom, green onion, tomato, scrambled eggs, and cheese, and hash browns. Both were actually really good burritos! Bacon was nice and crispy, and it had lots of cheese inside. The veggie burrito had a good variety of colorful veggies. Sour cream and salsa also come on the side. read more

Got a cookie. Pretty meh... Tasted like a step above something you'd purchase in a plastic, grocery store container. And only 3.50 Staff was nice enough read more

The restaurant is located inside a small marketplace building with lots of train decoration. We got couple items off of Yelp reviews recommendation: - clam chowder: tasty with good amount of clams for a cup size - California croissant: as other Yelp reviews mentioned, good amount of turkey slices, thick bacon and avocado pieces. The combination of all the ingredients inside a croissant just tasted very good. - Paul Bunyan burrito is average. The fried burrito seems like a packaged burrito. Chili on top is tasty. But we got kinda bored of it very quickly. The server was very kind and attentive, kept checking up on us to make sure we got every we needed and the food came out alright. read more

This is locals restaurant, located just off the main street. The service was OK, and the food portions were generous. The menu lists 3 types of coffee to choose from, all priced at three dollars. If you don't specify which one you want, they will simply bring you the house blend, which is not as good as the Kona coffee. I ordered a cappuccino, which was not good. It had no body or flavor and way too much foam. I ordered eggs, bacon, English muffin and hashbrowns. My husband ordered their special omelette. The English muffin was the best thing on my plate; the eggs were OK, the bacon was very fatty, and the hashbrowns were so greasy, I couldn't eat them. My husband's meat special omelette had more meat than eggs, and the meat was simply between the egg as if it were a taco. Eat somewhere else. read more

GREAT breakfast with a side of fast & friendly service inside the Depot Mall & Museum sitting next to a train - counting me IN!! Laurel Deli and Desserts served up the PERFECT indoor breakfast on our recent April anniversary weekend getaway. Located next door to the Skunk Train the mystery of Laurel's being inside the Depot Mall & Museum didn't escape us...with exhibits to sit next to, hanging above and all about the mall you definitely can take in some history will you grab a bite to eat. We enjoyed their ahhmazing homemade cinnamon roll pre-breakfast meals - all warmed up with melted butter - OMTasty goodness!! absolutely TO DIE FOR!! Breakfast came out quick to order, yummilicious and exactly what we needed to tackle the day: Standard breakfast: over medium eggs, hash browns & a pile of bacon that was cooked to PERFECTION!! Depot Deluxe Omelet: piled high with bacon, avocado, green onion & cheese ~Yummmyyy!!

After our Skunk Train adventure we were famished. I'm not too familiar with Fort Bragg and this place seemed open and ready to serve. What actually got me to come in was the sandwich I saw some one order. It looked amazing! We couldnt eat inside because we had our dog. That being said we ordered at the counter and waited outside. Eventually we took our lunch across the street to the museum grounds and had a great day. Our Sandwich of choice was the London Broiler with Potato Salad. I don't know how to explain this but the Mayo was incredible. The meat was excellent. All around a very delicious sandwich. Next time we will order a few different kinds because I'm sure all of the Sandwiches are good. The service was very fast and friendly. They seem very busy at all times. Id recommend getting your food to go and sitting outside. Its was worth it. read more

Mediocre breakfast. Basic Bloody Mary. Great service in this small town restaurant. There was an odd smell to this establishment, like mold.

Great food! Friendly staff. The Polynesian burger (I think it's called.. has grilled pineapple) is wonderful and the Chinese chicken salad is delicious. Big portions. read more

Visited Fort Bragg for the weekend and read a lot of reviews about the place. It's the perfect spot for before or after riding the "Skunk Train." It's located in a small shopping mall with clean bathrooms! We ordered a sandwich and salad to share- a turkey croissant with bacon, hold the sprouts. We decided that we should've added lettuce or something because it was lacking something without the sprouts. The croissant was toasted which was nice. The menu holds a lot of other American foods, more sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs. I liked how I saw a lot of tourists and local people eating here. Would love to try this place again and try the pie. read more

The cafe and deli is inside this huge barn like 'mall' space that's very quirky and seems created for tourists. The Skunk Train is located here so perhaps that's the purpose of its existence. Overall the cafe is clean, with lots of tables and a staff that seems to be on top of it. Oddly there are several counters with food and beverages so the layout is somewhat odd and confusing. There is table service with menus, so perhaps that's the key, but it doesn't seem clear. Since we only stopped for a snack we looked over the bakery items and I landed on what looked like a scrumptious Jalapeno Cheese Muffin, and it was excellent. Packed full of flavor I was delighted with the choice. The savory taste with a punch of spicy hot did hit the spot. With a cup of coffee I was quite satisfied. read more

One of the best breakfast places in the area. This place should definitely be considered if you want to sit down for breakfast. Theres plenty of parking all around on the street. All of the staff wears masks but...I'll get to that later. So I have visited this twice so far. I've come up to Mendocino two times within the last month and I've been to this place both times. Both times I have come, I have been super impressed with the food. The only place that compares is Eggheads and I feel that's moreso for the Egg enthusiasts. Not only do you get a lot of food for each meal but the quality itself is a solid A. If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend the pancakes. Not I know when you first order them you might be a little taken back by how hard they are to cut. Don't fret. The best is yet to come! Butter up those bad boys. Cut them to your liking and finally pour on the that good ole fashioned maple syrup. When you take that first bite you'll definitely taste soft cakes but they will also taste a little more dense then the usual pancake. Maybe that's the reason they are called Paul Bunyan pancakes. Even though these cakes have a firmer texture than normal, the flavor is soooo good. If you are a pancake fan you definitely gotta try these bad boys. Oh did I also mention how big they are? The breakfast burrito was pretty big too. With all the meat that it came with I decided to get some country gravy on the side and pour a dab of Tabasco with it. SooooooOooooooo good. It does also come with sour cream and salsa should you want it more traditional and the salsa is pretty tasty. The only drawback I have on this place is safety. The first time I came, all employees had their mask on the whole time we were approached. The 2nd time I went however was a little different. Our server had a mask but it was below her nose a majority of the time. Another employee had his on but sometimes would take it off when talking. I get it. You're having a rough morning. You have customers that are playing musical chairs with tables every half hour. You're doing that while serving food to other customers. You also got to take orders for other people. You are constantly multitasking. But I do feel like we shouldn't sacrifice safety even if it's some of the best food in the area. In my hometown, a couple streets down a staff member had covid and all nearby businesses had to close up for two weeks. Why risk it? We all have to do our part. Even if you don't believe it in it, things are different once a love one actually gets it. It shouldn't ever have to come down to that though. But that's just my opinion. I'd always rather be safe then sorry. But anywho that's the only concernI have about this place. It's an easy fix too. For all I know it was an off day but everything else about the place will still have me wanting to try this spot out again. The one thing you can't deny is that the food here is bomb. read more

Locals know best and they sure did. The food and service was awesome! The big news impacted by business but the owner and staff to the rescue. I am not local and they do not know me. Scott Orey, sent a lost bag with office valuable items inside. Mailed same day before noon so I would get it the next day without a credit card. Of course we paid what was due but in 2023 if you have to trust a local business it shows you not to use a chain. Our small business and family run are still the life blood of America. Thanks again Mr Orey and Eneyda. Note its next to the Skunk Train on Laurel. read more

Long story short... Food 1.5 stars Service 1.5 stars Food not worth the price. $80 for five people that included two kids burgers. Go to the next spot. Try B n C market up oak street just east off Main st. For sandos The fam and I went by here on a recent visit back to the hometown. I'm giving this three stars ONLY because the service was good. Not great, good. The food on the other hand is mediocre at best. That only gets maybe a 1.5. Pretty weak and the value is not good either. There are local places to source most of the products they use here and they choose not to. Run-of-the-mill pastrami on sub-par sourdough roll and some pretty soggy fries. The clam chowder is most likely NOT house made (the potatoes seem as if they have been frozen) & it's gravy thick. The kid burgers come dressed with nothing more than a patty on a bun and accompanied by more soggy fries. My wife's roast beef on her Sandro was pretty dry. My daughter said her BLT was "good", but to look at it it wasn't anything special for 11.00. I really don't mind paying good money if I get good product. Here you do not. Like I said.... move on for some other fare that is better quality for the price, and maybe source somewhere local instead of from Sysco foods. read more
