The sides like Country Potatoes, Hashbrowns, Pancakes and Biscuits and Gravy were all very average. Overall I was full. This place is on Yosemite in a little shopping center and is pretty small inside, maybe a handful of tables. Decor is coffee related. Coffee was decent, it feels like a sister restaurant to Bob's in Ceres CA but I'm not sure. Now not to be negative, this was my experience and it was a busy Sunday morning. But, the service was slow because there seemed to be one cook, one host and one busser. We had to ask for silverware, creamer, syrup etc a few times.

Gotta say you can't go wrong with chicken fried steak and theirs was pretty good. 5 stars Wife decided to go with the Banana foster French toast that included 3 eggs, chose bacon as the side and had 2 fried green tomatoes. I think that was her first time trying the fried green tomatoes in any place and she enjoyed it. She even said for the French toast that it was good and would order it again. 5 stars. Service- always great here and have to give a shout out to our waitress Ingrid who always had a smile on her face. Checked on us often if we needed refills. We've had her a few times as our waitress and she's always consistently given top notch customer service. So for her, 6 stars

Great spot in Turlock!…read more I visited for the first time with my mom, Fiance, and his mom. We decided to eat brunch after an appointment at sunrise bakery next door. The restaurant had a large menu and great staff that made our experience enjoyable. Everyone there seemed to really be enjoying themselves which made the ambiance quite lovely. I recommend if you are on this side of town and looking for a breakfast spot.

Nice portions of food were you can take home. Since I was hungry and my boyfriend had already eaten, we decided to share the 1/2 sandwich and their soup of the day-a bowl of chicken n rice, DELICIOUS. Wonderful friendly helpful waitresses, who are attentive, great customer service, inside and outside seating-weather permitting. Right of Fwy 99 and Main St., in Turlock. Opens at 6:00 am and closes at 3 pm everyday- its a diner, and casual atmosphere! I would highly recommend my family, friends, and new comers. The waitresses are so friendly in Turlock and the cook is so cool. They are all off of Fwy 99 in Hilmar, Ceres and Turlock off of Main St nearby the freeway and and you will see McDonald's on your right side and Hot Rod on your left side facing the freeway. ENJOY! UPDATE: Went again a week ago, and yes the soup was delicious! We learned today that they have a variety of soups of the day. Even the lentil soup was delicious that we decided to take a bowl home to share or not.

We've eaten at the Hot Rod Diner in Ceres and were very impressed with this place. So after church…read moretoday we decided to try the one in Turlock, thinking we'd experience the same quality food and service. We were sadly mistaken. Entering the restaurant, the first thing that caught our attention was the dirty floor, littered with food and paper products throughout the restaurant. Coffee and water came out quickly but never had a refill on the coffee until I had finished my meal. Not because I didn't want any, but our server was busy with other tables and didn't get to us until we were almost done. My wife's meal was mostly ok, but the English Muffin was hard enough to use as hockey pucks. My chicken fried steak had a weird flavor and not sure if it was on the gravy or the seasoning used on the meat. But it was just so-so, nothing to write home about. Best thing was the eggs, done perfectly and hashbrowns were pretty decent. Biggest complaint was the slow service, probably due to it being grad weekend and they were pretty busy with families (according to the cashier), and the extremely dirty place. The bathroom was also dirty, obviously nobody had cleaned it for quite a while. I blame management for not planning ahead and having at least 1 or 2 extra servers/busboys on hand to handle the larger crowd. We decided to return to the Ceres location and call that our home for Hod Rod Diner food. As another recommendation, I suggest taking the carpet out and just having a plain floor; much easier to keep clean than a carpet.

This morning we had breakfast with one of our relatives who lives nearby AJ's. It was our second…read moretime and one of many for our relative. We all agreed that AJ's was certainly one of the places to go in Turlock for a nice, non-chain restaurant breakfast. Great service (you WILL not run out of coffee or tea) with smiles both on the staff and patrons. The ambiance is cafe/grill on a Sunday morning and that was just fine with us. Our relative had the oatmeal, prepared and interesting way, my wife the Joe's scramble, and I the veggie omelet (can you tell I am seeing my doctor in the morning?) I scooped up a few of my wife's okra and found them delicious. We agreed that our meals were spot on, flavor was excellent, portions fair, and we enjoyed our time there. Kudos to AJ's!

We had the country fried steak which was probably the best one I have ever had in my entire life! My sons had chorizo and eggs and the other one had chocolate pancakes, ham and eggs. We also got a Nutella Crepe because my youngest had never had a real crepe before. The food was all amazing. We cleaned every plate between a 47 year old, 13 & 8 year old! We couldn't stop eating!! The place was clean and for such a busy brunch we were sat very quickly! Service was amazing as well! The staff was so accommodating, friendly and professional! They were so hard working turning those tables over and checking on tables all the time. We didn't have to wait for plates to be cleared or refills of Iced Tea!! Like I said I can't believe I haven't been back to this place in such a long time but that is going to change!! I will be back as much as I can! Especially to support a local family owned restaurant!

However the waitress does not tell you if you want your drink iced they charge $1 for ice. Would of been nice to know before hand. The house coffee was not to my liking could not finish it.

I simply gave up on a system that allowed a man to gaslight me so thoroughly and label me so incorrectly that, had I fought within their rules, I would have lost all rights permanently. My way of fighting is a deliberate break from that system. If you cannot understand that, then you don't deserve me. How dare you all have such faith in everyone but me. You turned your backs when I needed even one person to believe in me. You believed his lies, and why wouldn't you? He didn't even have to speak; poisoning the well was enough because your preconceived narrative was that I would end up like everyone else in this family. You want to hypocritically judge me, claiming my state of mind was the result of drug use, rather than the reality of having zero help and two children sleeping in a van. You were all right there. Not one person stepped up the way they claimed they would. You said you cared, but it was "inconvenient." It wasn't a "good time." For what? For my life to be falling apart? You allowed him to isolate me. Just because you refused to see it happening doesn't mean it wasn't real. There is a mountain of evidence, but you refused to even look at it because you were so convinced by his narrative. You chose to believe a paid-off line in a file over the person standing in front of you. The Reality of the System The law claims a diagnosis alone isn't enough to take someone's children, but in reality, it happens every day. Parents are denied the chance to defend themselves. That label is taken at face value, especially when an ex is determined to use a grudge to erase you. The system is supposed to look at the whole picture, but instead, it grabs one line and treats it like the absolute truth. People with power, money, or a vendetta can twist the story, and the court listens to them long before it listens to the parent fighting to survive. This is why I fight the way I do. I am fighting an unfair label slapped on me by someone obsessed with my isolation. He knew once that label was in the system, it would follow me everywhere. He knew you would believe it without question, and you proved him right. The Collective Failure I deserved support. I deserved a chance to be seen for who I really was. But most importantly, nobody protected the three of us. It wasn't just my children who were victimized; I was victimized alongside them. Instead of protecting the bond we had and the safety we needed, you all allowed us to be torn apart. The fact that none of you could stand beside us says more about you than it ever did about me. To those who claim they don't like my way of living: what you really don't like is how I managed to survive. You should be concerned with why I had to survive at all. If you call me "insane," remember that the true definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. If your idea of "normal" is accepting this flawed system, then get me the large crayons, because I refuse to color inside those lines. As I told my daughter: sometimes you have to do what others call the "wrong" thing in order to make it right. No entity--not even the Supreme Court--has the authority to silence a victim. To Gary and Lilly I think about you both every single day. Gary, happy birthday--I wish I could be there to see you smile and hear about your world. Lilly, I've been thinking about your birthday too; I hope it was filled with moments that made you feel loved. I want you both to know something: if he ever did anything to you, please tell me. I am here to listen. And even if you feel like you can't like me right now, please just stand by me. Just being there means more than you know. None of this distance changes how much I love you. Not even a little. You are always in my heart. I am fighting every day to make things right so we can be together again. Things may feel confusing right now, but please remember: you deserve to feel safe, heard, and cared for. Your feelings matter. You matter. I carry your laughter and your memories with me in everything I do. They keep me going. One day, we will sit together and make up for lost time. Until then, know that you are deeply loved and you are never alone. With all my love, always, Mom It really is a great place though I'm cool but it's an awesome place
