Super cute little spot! You can tell it's a local favorite -- the servers knew some of the customers by name, which gave it such a warm, hometown feel. It was our first time here. I ordered the turkey, mushroom, and cheese omelet and asked for egg whites. It doesn't look as tasty as it was in the photo, but it was absolutely delicious -- perfectly cooked and really flavorful. The fruit on the side was fresh, too. And the real win? My picky son ate an entire pancake -- which basically never happens. The small note was the orange juice. My daughter didn't love it -- it had a little zing to it that she wasn't used to. Overall, great food, friendly service, and cozy, small-town vibes. We really enjoyed our first visit! read more

Love the lodge! It's so cute and quaint and serves the best food. Our server was Penny and she made sure we were well cared for. I'm disabled and use a crutch to get around and I was sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant that was difficult for me because I didn't have anywhere to put my crutch, and having it put away from me makes me feel nervous. Leslie got me a table with a booth which was much better as I got to have somewhere to put my crutch and have to near me as well. Food is always fantastic here, great prices and good quality. Thank you Penny and especially thank you Leslie for how much you helped even though you weren't my server! read more

The place is very cute and authentic looking. The waitress was as sweet as can be, very old school. The burger, sadly, is bone-dry and past its prime. I could not eat it. The place had a lot of locals having a good time. I should have gone for the waffles or something else. My friend was happy with her salad. It's a bummer since the place really is adorable. read more

Came in today with my husband for breakfast, I got a coffee and the breakfast sandwich with extra crispy hash browns it was really good and was really fresh. The service was really good even though the diner was somewhat full with a lot of people. My husband got the classic eggs Benedict with hash browns and a coffee also. The restaurant was clean and the staff always make sure you're well taken care of and that you have what you need. Yes this restaurant is small but it's a great little mom and pop restaurant and it's ran by great people. read more

We enjoyed the old school atmosphere with a dark wood interior and creative mountain silhouette booth dividers with backgrounds made from beans! The vibe inside was welcoming and Patty, our waitress was an absolute hoot! We loved her. My husband and I each had omelettes; mine with fruit and biscuits and gravy, his with home fries (he's still raving about how perfect they were) and a side pancake. Everything cooked perfectly to our specifications. My only critique is the processed cheese on my omelette. I'm still coming back though - I need some more of the good old days in my life! This is a lodge style coffee shop not a snooty food boutique. Come for the good old days of Ma and Pa owned diners. This place is a dose of nostalgia with a smile. read more

I've passed by over the years and I finally stopped by. I had the corned beef hash, toast and eggs. It was a solid meal! I would come back. I need to coordinate my next visit with when the Avon lady comes to take orders. Next time will be lunch! read more

VERY stingy on portion sizes and the food took awhile to come out. I ordered the corn beef hash and eggs and they gave me a paper thin sausage patty sized portion. Same thing with the hash browns. They were smashed very thin and I finished them in just a couple of bites. I left still hungry and I'm out 22 bucks. I won't be back. read more

Great French toast. In fact most Of the menu items and wonderful but the French toast is the best. Friendly and quick service. read more

I like to try new breakfast spots. I came out here from Rancho, based on the reviews. I'm glad I didn't come yesterday, because they would've been closed. They are open Wednesday through Monday, closed on Tuesdays. As it is named, it has the theme of a lodge, inside and out. I come in, and I get the vibe that it is just a down home neighborhood place. Some people sitting and visiting, some reading the paper waiting for their food, etc..... I was served by Leslie, and she was so incredibly friendly and helpful. She asked if it was my first time there, which it was, she suggested things on the menu, told me that the hashbrowns were freshly grated, the home fries were well seasoned, and the biscuits and gravy were very good. I'm trying to eat a little bit healthier, so I decided to go for the seasoned ground beef and veggie scramble. It came with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and bell pepper, which I asked them to leave off. I also asked for decaf, and she made me a fresh pot. The breakfast was fantastic! The ground beef was well seasoned, the veggies were good, and the eggs were just right. Not too loose, and not too tough. They must use a good quality, ground beef, because the dish did not eat greasy at all. Everything tasted delicious. I asked for fruit instead of potatoes, and it came with a nice side order of very fresh fruit. The biscuit I had with it was light and fluffy, the coffee was very good, and she kept my cup full. The price was extremely reasonable, and they do a military/veterans discount. There is a very small upcharge if you use plastic instead of cash. She told me ahead of time, and asked me if that was OK. Of course it was. I'm glad that she asked. Just a fantastic restaurant. I will be back. Thank you. read more

I love this hole in the breakfast spot. The name is deceiving. It is so much more than a coffee shop, it is a full blown diner. It's so unique you feel like you just skied in :) love it. The food here was incredible! The service was fantastic she stayed and told us about this place how long it had been around all about the owner. It was such a great experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Great place to have breakfast. Thank you for your superb service and kindness Leslie & Karen! The corn beef hash was delicious. The hash browns were nice and crispy.

Highly recommended! read more

Lodge Coffee Shop - Breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

Cozy (aka: small) breakfast diner that looks like a traditional lodge inside and out. I love the old school feel. An aquarium is in the fireplace. There are a few stools at the counter, and the rest of the seating is booths and tables. The restroom is on the outside, and was super clean. The morning we went, the clientele was a mix of geriatrics, construction workers, a young couple with their baby, all of whom seemed regulars from the neighborhood. The servers were welcoming and friendly, and treated me & my husband the same, even though it was our first time there. Food took a little while to come out but we weren't in a rush and they kept our coffee mugs filled. i had an omelet, hash browns, and upgraded to a pancake. Hubs had the ribeye steak and eggs and upgraded to biscuits and gravy. The best thing was my omelet. They actually seasoned and sauteed the veggies and meat. It was delicious. Everything else was average tasting. Menu is breakfast and lunch basics. Price is similar to all the restaurants in the area...$20-25/per person. I was hoping for a little bit more affordability, but everything is pricey these days, if you want to eat out. read more

The first time I dined here I was pregnant and craving a drink that qasnt on the menu and they happily accommodated my request (a carbonated strawberry lemonade). It was so delicious. Everyone was so kind and you can tell they have lots of regulars. Fast forward to the other day, my baby is now 6m old, and they seemed to remember us. I've never had that happen. So if you're looking for a new place to call your favorite breakfast/lunch spot this is it. And the coffee is actually good. Food is great. 10/10 reccomend. This inside is very cozy forest/woodland theme. They have a great kids menu. And a fun search and find paper for coloring etc. And they have actual Crayola crayons not the crappy kind that you have to cram onto the paper to be able to see what you're writing/coloring. read more

Found this place by accident. The ladies greeted me right away and where so welcoming and kind. The atmosphere was that of an old diner/café. I had the country Bene with extra crisp hash browns. Oh my was it good! The hash browns did not disappoint at all and the eggs bene was the best with still runny yolk. What more could you ask for I plan on making this a regular spot even though I live in Natomas and it is a bit of a drive. They are soooo worth it!! read more

My daughter and I went here for breakfast and when we walked in the waitress said you can sit anywhere so we sat at a table and within 10 minutes sitting down we were told to move to another table for a group chat comes in on Saturdays. She should have sat us down at the table so there wouldn't be a problem. We won't be coming back to this place again. read more

Food was good, eggs were cooked perfect and sausage! Now with service, It was a little bit off to me. Me and my wife walked in as our first time, we were greeted and told to sit anywhere which we ordered drinks and admired the place. It's very beautiful but then our waitress comes and asks directly if we are ready, which we are. We then begin to order where I am corrected on what she thinks i'm ordering which i just go with the flow and agree as i've never been here and assuming maybe i'm saying the order wrong. My wife orders the same thing as me and all is well. Getting the food out was fast. Then i couldn't help but notice how the waitress went to the table next to us and had a whole different attitude, she asked the couple if they've ever been there and gave them recommendations. It saddened me and my wife couldn't have an experience where we were explained the menu and given recommendations like she did them. We went up to paid and the lady didn't ask us much just took the payment and said have a good day. Overall food was a 10/10 but service could be a little better and treating customers as equals. read more

First off, the staff were extremely friendly and you can tell they enjoy what they do. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs, see picture, and my husband the Lodge Breakfast with biscuits and gravy. We both thoroughly enjoyed the country gravy it was flavorful. I asked for Tabasco sauce because country gravy usually needs it the flavor bump. The Lodge's did not need it. The hash browns were the best I have had in a long time. They were nice and crispy and had good flavor. The decor is really fun and feels like you are in a cabin in the mountains. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Lodge Coffee Shop - Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

Restaurant is an old IHOP building with the old-time charm of those high vaulted sloped ceiling design. The management has it decorated with fun and warm decor. The food was served in very generous proportions and tasted great. I had steak and eggs w/ fruit and biscuits and gravy. Couldn't eat it all. Service was pleasant and unusually attentive. All in all, a great experience. I'd highly recommend. read more

I've driven past this place probably 100 times or more, and always wanted to stop and try it out...mostly because of its cool vintage vibe from the outside. Well, today was the day! We made a spur of the moment decision to stop for lunch (but we ended up having breakfast.) Both the food and the service here is top notch. Beautiful presentation and great quality ingredients used. The hash browns are amazing! We were very happy with our meal and now we're looking forward to a return visit to try the lunch menu! read more

Inside is tiny. Biggest table can only fits 4 people. We 5 have yo seat by doors added two chairs. Price is just same as fine restaurants. Only one waitress and another lady for clean the table. Service are slow. Food are small portion. Compare the price we paid, we rather go Black Bear or Brookfiled, they have much nicer service and environment. Egg Benedict is $15,99, small portion tho. Waffle only come out with one egg. We may stay with our favorite. Not try new one anymore. read more

I love eating breakfast. It provides the fuel and energy to get us through the first few hours of a new day. And considering that I've been living in Citrus Heights ever since early-2016 and I still haven't eaten here? Truth be told is that the "Lodge Coffee Shop" is a real hidden gem. It's one of those no-frills, family owned and operated restaurants where locals go to enjoy a homemade quality breakfast. I've actually passed by this place on numerous occasions. But it wasn't until I saw news anchor Tina Macuha of the show Good Day Sacramento pay a visit to this place (in August 2019) on her segment, "Dishin' With Tina". As far as the business itself, they are located on Auburn Blvd. just south of Twin Oaks Blvd. and only about a 1/2 mile away from the I-80 freeway. Parking was fairly simple to find since there aren't many businesses surrounding The Lodge. Once inside, you get that feeling as if you've stepped into a time warp to the past several decades. And when I say that, the interior is very reminiscent of an actual ski lodge. Everything from the steep roof, exposed wooden beams, high ceilings, and kitschy décor. Additionally, you will find a giant aquarium housed in some nice flagstones at the rear of the business which adds a very tranquil feeling to this place. Since the whole trim is a dark brown, it has a very dark feeling inside but in a very cozy log cabin type of way. Now onto the food! I ended up ordering their "Mini Breakfast" (for $7.95 as of Sept. 2019). I ended up choosing one slice of bacon, one sausage link, one egg (cooked over easy), home-fried potatoes, and one slice of sourdough toast. She orders the same "Mini Breakfast" but she chose all bacon, hash browns, and white toast. We were given two cups of their house coffee and two iced waters. Right off the bat, their house coffee was delicious! Maybe that's why they kept the word "coffee" in the business name. As far as our breakfast entrees, everything was cooked to perfection. The bacon and sausage tasted the way my mom used to make them off the frying pan. And my potatoes were seasoned very well. I tried some of her hash browns and man, this was delish! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For a simple breakfast meal, this place hit the spot. Keep in mind that "The Lodge Coffee Shop" has very limited hours of operation being only open from 6am-2pm, 7 days a week. Overall, the quality of the food, exceptional service, and inexpensive prices makes this an excellent choice. And if breakfast isn't your thing, they also offer a very generous lunch menu (served after 10:30am) offering a nice selection of sandwiches and burgers. My rating for the "Lodge Coffee Shop" in Citrus Heights, a perfect five-stars! read more

Calling yourself a coffee lodge is insanity. Ordered iced coffee and the waitress told me it was just hot coffee poured over ice. Tasted gross like the machine hasn't been properly cleaned or maintained and made weak even with the hot coffee my boyfriend ordered. We just came here for coffee, since it is advertised as a coffee lodge. Disappointing place to say the least. Inside was dim and dingy. read more
