Cutest cozy breakfast spot with a little town feel food is great and service is on point. Best kept secret in Sacramento. Long time owner of this spot is most hospitable and Adam our server doesn't miss a thing! read more

I got a nice breakfast there, and of all the days I finally pick to go, it was the day the owners were in talks with a buyer. So the place was packed, and I had a long wait, for the food, the waiter, she warned me there would be a long wait, as a bunch of people had just came in before me, she stated, and I talked to a couple of "Long time customers", who told me the place was going to be sold. So I liked the place, and it really is unusual, and they were hoping the new people don't make a lot of changes, and I also home they do not. Prices were good. read more

My husband and I went to have breakfast a few weeks ago. The food was good and came out hot. The staff are very friendly. The restaurant has a quaint vibe with a couple of hundred of pictures from people who have eaten there before. I recommend going to this restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

Food took way too long to come out and was definitely over cooked and bland. Floors and tables were dirty and I normally wouldn't pay attention if the location was busy however there wasn't that many people at the time. And having a giant cockroach walking around the dining floor didn't really help the experience. read more

You walk in here and you feel like you're part of the family! Come here and support good people that are trying to make an honest living! read more

I was very excited to try this place. I've driven by it a few times and have been so enticed by the hole in the wall vibes. I checked Yelp and google and the reviews gave me the impression that this place is a Sacramento staple. Upon arrival, we were greeted and told to sit wherever we wanted. We chose a table in the side room. When we sat, I noticed someone may have been just here sipping coffee because, although, the table was clean, the spoon had dribbles of coffee still. We didn't mind, since it was probably our fault for sitting there. I ordered coffee and the chicken fried steak meal that came with eggs, hash browns and toast. My wife ordered their country eggs Benedict with their home fries. Their coffee was run of the mill diner coffee (our server gave me old cream from another table, but still cooler than expected) and their water tastes like unfiltered tap, nothing really to complain about. Our food took a little longer than a normal wait, being as there were only about three tables occupied. When we got our food, it was on the colder side, not very hot. Overall, the food was mediocre. Everything was pretty much under seasoned/not seasoned at all. I needed to add salt and pepper to everything, including the gravy. My wife thought the same, and even had to add hot sauce. I really enjoyed the crunchiness of their hash browns, but they also had a very unpleasant taste, like of used old oil or an unclean grill? I'm not sure. Overall, I wouldn't come back for breakfast, but I would definitely like to try their lunch items (the chicken club they offer sounds good). read more

Great food, great service, and really down-to-earth, hole in the wall atmosphere! Would definitely eat here again!

I was recommended to come here by a friend of mine named Joe. According to Joe this place is a home town breakast place. Its small, quaint and kitschy. There is a nice sized wrap around conter, which is where sat to enjoy my first brunch at Pitts. The owner was a sweet as could be, and I happened to be enjoying my first meal at Pitt's on his birthday. A very humble congenial person. He an his staff made me feel as though I was eating breakfasting en la cocina de mi madre (in my mother's kitchen.) And I must say, it has been a long time since I have had a real home cooked meal. I appreciated the way the waitress and the employees at Pitt made me feel so welcome. You see, for someone like me, who dines solo most of the time, Pitts is truly the type of place I prefer to patronize. Upon entrance to this little restaurant the waitress suggested that I find a seat wherever I'd like. She immediately brought me coffee and water within nano seconds. In other words, the service here is super fas. The food at Pitts is yummy as I ordered the chicken fried steak with eggs over easy. I love runny yolks for dipping my biscuits and the eggs were made just like I ordered. They were so yummy. The biscuits were warm as if they had just come out of the oven and they were served on a separate plate with a generous mound of butter. Another +1! You have got to try this place. It is such a relaxing environment and it seemed as though the owner and his employees knew every patron by first name! I will most definitely return and I think you should visit Pitts as it truly is a hidden gem. Family owned and operated ...I love this place! read more

Lived in Sac for so long, drove by this so many times and never noticed since it's the bottom floor of an apartment complex. The definition of hole-in-the-wall. Staff is great, coffee is good. Fancy myself a biscuits and gravely aficionado and they make: bacon country gravy!? Yes, and good old S.O.S. For those of you who spent any time in the service. I had the chicken fried steak and gravy. Chef's kiss. read more

my first time eating here my brother took me to this place this morning i must say the food was very good I'll be back and the amount they give you omg you are going to be full i had the chicken fried steak and eggs delicious he had pancakes biscuits and gravy check them out. read more

Ive driven past this place so many times and I always wondered how it was. Well I finally stopped in and it was great. I grew up in the area and now I'm upset I never knew about this place. I ordered the chicken fried steak....Yes. It was made well. My eggs were cooked perfectly and my hasbrowns were crispy. I had a fresh biscuit instead of toast. Yum. My coffee cup stayed full and my food came out hot. No complaints. Thanks Pitts. I will be back. read more

When we walked in everyone was saying hello. Even the customers. It was like walking into Cheers. Seriously it was like that. Lol We have come back several times just for the service. This place is in a wierd apartment looking building in a really bad neighborhood. Franklin Blvd. Still worth checking out. The waiter was soooooo nice. We got the feeling that his mom owned the place...... We were rite lol. Not a ton of tables. Not the cleanest in the world. Just an old old greasy diner. How was the food already??? Ok ok..... So the food is pretty good. They are very proud of the biscuits.... They are alright. The gravy. Pretty good. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Somebody got the pork chops. They looked very good. The hashbrowns were on point! All in all the food was 3 stars. The service was five stars all day. We will go there again someday. See you there. read more

When you drive up to The Pitt's Stop don't let the outside appearance scare you off. It is very rustic. The inside decor reminds you of an old fashion diner. The friendly owner and staff make up for the decor. They are open 6:30am - 2pm Tuesday- Friday, Saturday & Sunday 8am- 12 noon, Closed Monday. They are known for their breakfast which is served all day. The lunch dishes are simple. Sandwiches, Soups and Hamburgers. You will be pleased when you step inside! read more

Sometimes the unassuming, humble front is the kind of place you just get get enough of. How this place has never had it's 15 minutes of fame on Diners Drive ins and Dives I'll never know! Guy Fieri where you at??! You missed one bro! Every other week the chef cooks up some serious green chilli verde....Chef Denise slings this green gold on omelettes, aside beans, eggs or however you want to get this stuff down... it is really good! This woman gets down on her seasoned grill...She is a one women show back there and everything shines. We keep coming back to try something new and have had some unexpected surprises along the way. There is definitely a following inspired by the indigenous culture of this southside neighborhood. It is not uncommon to see a regular helping themselves to a cup of coffee behind the counter. It feels like your in Moms kitchen and I Love it here. read more

What a great secret, stored away in what looks of an old motel or apartment off the side of Franklin Bl close to 47th Ave. Super friendly and a down home warm welcoming small place centered around a tiled wrap-around counter with a side room of tables n chairs. Food was like revisiting my childhood. Fresh, crisp and delicious. Country fried steak, Biscuits, gravy and some perfectly pan fried home fries. The country fried steak was nice and crispy just the way it should be. It may be an eyesore from a distance but once inside it holds much much more. read more

As good as it gets for hospitality and heaping plates of breakfast joy! Five-star smiles. Five-star friendly. Five-star hole-in-the-wall. Five-star made from scratch breakfast! Hard at work at the grill, Denise Pitts is queen of her domain. Thank you to your Pitts Stop family of friends for making us feel so welcome and now, I can say, "I'm part of the cool crowd at Pitts Stop along #FranklinBoulevard and #MartinLutherKingBoulevard in Sacramento." You'll leave with a happy tummy and (hopefully) a few new friends. This small-time diner has been feeding locals since 1979. They must be doing something right. Ask about some of the 'not on the menu items' such as the house spicy sausage patties. For me it always comes back to the hospitality and smile factor. Yep! I'll be back! read more

I came here for the first time as a return favor for a friend by buying him lunch. He suggested Pitt Stop. I am always open to the hole-in-the-wall businesses and I am a supporter of local and small businesses. I give Pitt Stop 3 stars for the following overall reasons: 1) The food was good. We ordered mushroom burger with fries, avocado burger on sourdough with hash browns, coffee for one, and triple decker traditional pancakes. I would give the food 3.5 stars. It was competitively comparable to local burgers around (not withstanding fast food joints). 2) As for the price points, I thought their food was rather "expensive" considering the ambience and facility. I didn't expect to pay $24 (excluding tips) for a lunch for two. With a $5 tip, the total cost was $29. Still, for me, it was rather steep in relation to the overall dining experience and service. But to say Pitt Stop has the hands-down-one-of-the-best-burgers-ever, well no. It's competitively comparable. But not the best to really make it a point to come here on a regular basis because I know I can get a burger elsewhere for about the same price with a far better dining experience-ambience-and taste just as good (if not better). 3) The restrooms are small and outside of the building. I was apprehensive using it, and you needed a key to get in. I won't say that I will actually go out of my way to get food here. But at the same time, I am open to returning in the future just for the heck of it. read more

The best service in town. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our food. I'm veggie so I ordered oatmeal, home fries, and an English muffin. The oatmeal was surprisingly delicious! Fresh, not the mushy slop you usually get at breakfast spots. The home fries were so flavorful and great as well. My bf loved the pancakes too. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive. She told us this place has been here since 1979 and I can see why. The owner, a very sweet woman, came out and greeted us and thanked us for coming in. I will definitely be back here anytime I'm looking for breakfast. read more

Great food, and the server was super friendly - right up until he started in with prejudiced racial remarks about another group of customers. We were absolutely flabbergasted. This is CA right? And the restaurant is in a diverse neighborhood. Enjoyed the food, and great prices, but probably won't be back for this reason. read more

I like a old school place look like something out of a movie they gave me a lot of food and I don't remember when I last had breakfast for such a good price. read more

This was an adventure. It was quite a bit off the beaten path from our usual destinations, but we needed grubbing breakfast and yelp pointed us in this direction. Little did we know that this joint had been featured on television that morning. The small, mom & pop venue was SLAMMED, and unprepared for it. The very small two rooms at this place seat maybe 8 tables and a counter area. The mismatched furniture give it a very "economical feel" and items that usually aren't in the dining area were piled and tucked away in the corners. You felt like you were in someone else's home... and maybe you weren't really supposed to be eating there. Despite the fact that our waitress told us it would be a wait, we had already suffered enough indecision and driving for one morning. We waited. Due to the fame of the morning, I think we caught the staff at the end of the shift... and at their wits end as well. We waited, not 30 minutes as promised, but more than an hour. Slightly understandable, but disappointing because we weren't visited again until the food came out. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt - especially if the food was amazing. But the food at this off-the-beaten path breakfast adventure was not positively overwhelming. I'm sure it's great if you are in the neighborhood and the folks seemed to be trying hard. But due to it's proximity to our house, the lack of polished ambiance, and just OK breakfast, I don't think we will make the voyage next time. read more

I can be a bit hyperbolic at times, but I try to save my five star ratings for places that really deserve it. And while this is on a relative scale, I must say that Pitt's Stop has truly earned themselves a five-star rating in the category of "Greasy Spoons." The atmosphere is quite relaxed, and I've yet to be there on an overly busy day. The owners and staff are always available for conversation, and the decor is reminiscent of a thousand similar establishments, with a skew toward wit. Most importantly, of course, the food is both phenomenal and incredibly cheap. So far I have had the Mushroom-Swiss burger, a veggie omelette, and some kind of melt on sourdough - none of them have failed to hit the spot exactly, with just the right balance between horrifyingly unhealthy and completely delicious. This has already become one of my favorite spots, despite having discovered it only a month ago. Don't let the dingy exterior fool you! This is one of the most down-home experiences that one can have in Sacramento without heading out to the country. read more

Sparse parking that really looks like a pit stop! BUT, as saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover... Our pancakes & french toast, each w/two eggs-n-bacon, was home-made good and costing under $17 total, made us pleasantly surprised! This place now on our breakfast radar! read more

My husband and I always drove by this restaurant but we never wanted to stop by. One day, I thought I would explore them on yelp and thought, "hmm the food looks good " so today we had a chance to finally stop in .

We will come in again....Thank you Gustavo and Sylvia read more

Lovely little 'hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon restaurant" owned and operated by cheerful Denise Shelton. This is a clean diner with an enticing menu that delivers as promised. Also, we found that the service was pretty good considering that the place was full. Four stars and not five because the restroom is outside. Would I go there again? Oh yes. read more

this place is a great hole in the wall. The food is great and is like you would get in the south ( grits, spam, and S.O.S}. I always get the Dorthy- biscuits & gravy topped with fried eggs, It's fantastic. The wife had the eggs benedict, it had thick slices of ham and lots of sauce, she said it was very good. Thanks Denise, We'll be back read more

Me and my wife both dislike. Food was very nasty , gravey blam, small portions , big price, dirty and dusty . Will never go back .
