We opted to share the Birria Hash and thankfully it was so much food that we were both satisfied. The pancakes were fluffy and the sandwich was pretty good. I think the food is good, if you are hungry and don't want to be disappointed this would be a good place to stop by. My personal feud with restaurants today, this one being an example, is how overpriced everything is. For three meals it was $81. The pancakes were good, but $17 for normal pancakes is crazy, and it came with no sides so we added fries which just seemed like frozen reheated fries that were $7. The birria hash was $21 and that I will say was worth the money. Staff was nice.

The staff is friendly and its filled with 50s memorabilia. I recommend eating in the front room or outside. The back room is kind of loud and voices ricochet off the walls. There was a group with kids talking loud which made it less enjoyable but not the restaurants fault. I ordered the crab cake melt, it is so worth it for $20. And i recommend upgrading your fries to garlic fries! Some of the best. Next time I want to try their pesto bacon feta fries. This combo was so good Im not sure I can choose anything else. My picture is after I cut the sandwich so please excuse the presentation.

Be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends, especially if you have 5 or more people. $20 Chicken Fried Steak is about 2000 calories worth of food, a great value, and a great meal! The Chicken Fried Steak is big, thick, and juicy, with a very thick crispy breading that stays crunchy, even while doused in the rich and creamy sausage loaded gravy(you can ask for it on the side). I guestimate it's somewhere around 8-10oz of meaty beef in there. The hashbrowns are potato perfection, very, crispy and buttery! And you get two eggs of your style, and giant housemade warm buttery biscuit. This is a lot of big, fat, tasty America all on one plate...it's an epic, fatty, sodium, and calorie loaded meal! $20.00 Chicken-N-Waffles...a full half bird of deep fried juicy happiness: Breast, thigh, wing and leg, all thick battered crispiness sealing in the juicy, tender succulent chicken meat within. The waffle crispy and fluffy, served with a generous amount of syrup and butter. 2000 calories, easily! $15 TT's Famous French Toast...a unique Petaluma and secret twist on this classic: Sourdough French bread grilled with cinnamon n sugar, topped with marionberry cream cheese. So fluffy, fruity, and flavorful...I think its another 2000 calorie breakfast that will have you skipping lunch.

The team there were personable, attentive and genuinely cared about giving their guests a great experience. We enjoyed the Caesar salad and calamari for apps, the teres major steak and fried chicken for dinner and then the lemon cheesecakes and peanut butter chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Our child is still just a baby but this restaurant is kid friendly but is still a good venue for couples looking for a date night. The only complaint I would have would be the people smoking outside of The Big Easy next door.

Talk about happy tastebuds. Our main dish was a beautiful salmon fillet prepared perfectly with just a hint of lemon rubbed on, and presented on a bed of shelled brussel sprouts lightly roasted. The coup de gras was the dessert: a slice of peanut butter and a flourless chocolate cake. Luis recommended a sangiovese for my wife and she enjoyed it immensely. This restaurant I would proudly recommend to all my friends. I would have rated it higher than a five if I could have.

The potatoes on the side were crunchy and soft on the inside! My guava juice is amazing! I also got coffee! Our server was very sweet and helpful! She is also so patient and kind!

They have a lot of great options on the menu, but my cousin recommended getting either a sandwich or breakfast burrito as him and his wife had already come here before and said they were really good. I opted for a sausage breakfast burrito and a guava mimosa. Drinks came quickly which was good to hold us over while we waited on our food. It was pretty busy. Burrito was a good size and came with sour cream and salsa on the side. Not as seasoned as I would have liked inside the burrito so I'm glad there were condiments. Hot sauce and ketchup along with other condiments are on the table already. My other cousin ordered the chilaquiles. Big portion. Lots of meat and he pretty much ate all of it lol the burrito was big so I could only finish half. Burrito wasn't bad but I wish I would've gotten the sandwich instead. It looked really good! Restaurant was a good size, clean, spacious and servers were nice and attentive. I would definitely come back to try other food on the menu.

Straight-up foul, stagnant, sewage-meets-old-grease stench the second the door opened. Sat down for five minutes and it was still in my nose. Tried to power through but it was so bad I lost my appetite and left. Place was packed so clearly some people don't care, but if you have a working sense of smell this is a hard pass. Food never even made it to the table because the air was that off. Fix the drains, the grease traps, the ventilation, whatever is going on in there.

I forgot the bartender's name, but whoever made my espresso martini--it was by far the best one I've ever had! My previous favorite was at Novela Bar in San Francisco, but sorry Novela, Easy Rider has won my heart. I literally chugged it because it was that good, and I still can't forget the perfect balance of sweetness and martini flavor. I also loved how they used powdered coffee instead of whole beans. Please go try their drinks! I'll definitely be back to try the food soon. I hope they consider opening up in SF!

We actually got a nice window seat so we could watch what was going on downtown Petaluma. We each ordered a different sandwich. My husband had the turkey and ham sandwich and I had the chicken salad sandwich. The flavors were so divine that it really made it a very enjoyable sandwich. The wait staff is so friendly. They kept coming around checking on us and making sure that everything was fine. It was pretty busy there so it was nice to know that they were still at being attentive. You really have to sit there for a moment to see all the beautiful things that they have inside their store. It is so well decorated that it feels very homie. Also, from my understanding, they have fresh bread there in the morning and they put them out on a stand unfortunately, we got there too late, but I hear nothing but good things about their sourdough bread. Definitely a cute place to go for a nice lunch and it's right in the middle of town.

The coffee was outstanding, I believe they use Taylor, I'm a big fan of French roast so It was good. The quiche was very light and fluffy, I prefer mine to be a bit more dense. The fruit was cut in a decorative manner & a nice addition. The restaurant has been in business for many years in Petaluma and the charm and offerings is what brings patrons back.

The seasonal menu's offerings were ideal for a rainy April day, when their cassoulet, bocadillo and other cozy options provided the comfort food we were craving. I loved the colorful tables and tasteful decor. It was clearly a regular lunch destination for many of the diners. The bar was packed during the rush, around noon, as well as the other indoor seats. My lunch friend mentioned that the restaurant is owned and operated by a husband and wife team: Annette and Brian. The regulars were greeted with familiarity. It wasn't the kind of place where you're rushed for your order, nor is it a dine and dash location. The menu - both food and drink - has tantalizing options, so it's best to come back repeatedly. My Turkish Coffee arrived quickly after I ordered it, despite Annette being the only server on the floor. I enjoyed the Bocadillo too, especially the pickled vegetables that accompany the sandwich. For those complaining that the portions were small or that the prices were high, the quality of ingredients and depth of flavor are worth the cost and my portion was more than enough to satisfy my appetite, plus I left with the other half of my sandwich as an offering for my hungry twenty-something at home. We ordered a rice pudding for dessert and dug in before I was able to snap a picture!
