From the walk in, nobody greeted me. I sat in the waiting area for 20 minutes before i walked up to the counter and ordered my food, to then ask if i could sit in the cafe to eat. As im sitting waiting for my food to arrive. Two new customers walk in of a different skin tone than mine and are immediately greeted and serviced. It's 2026 and that kind of behavior from an eating establishment is unacceptable and wild to experience. They're lucky that they don't have a corporate number to call because I would've complained from the moment i sat down to the time i got home! Do better, Primo ! read more

Wow. What a way to end a Monday! $7 glass of Merlot from happy hour (4-8 p.m. on weekdays) and a fantastic dinner! The food came out hot and fresh, well coated in the sauces we ordered and GREAT portion sizes! Andrea was our server and was amazing! We will definitely be back soon. The restaurant and bathrooms were also clean, which is always appreciated! Thank you, Primo Cafe! read more

I can give them a boost.... This place is hidden in plain sight! Just like other primos but it's waited service and different menus, there's a bar in here too. Not much traffic but the staff are friendly and the food is good so when I'm stuck on this side of town Iw I'll keep it as an option! read more

Primo Cafe - Great Greek salad and wings were excellent as well! - American Near Me - Lancaster, California

Do not order salad! They do not know how to rinse lettuce here! High bacterial population. There was dirt on my lettuce and now i sit here brokenhearted. The chicken was ok the service was excellent. Next time i will stick to the breakfast burrito read more

We were welcomed immediately and got to choose our table. Our waitress is super nice and is really interested in helping us meet our requests for so much food! Lol We ordered Zucchini, onion rings , and french fries. My husband got a breakfast burrito and my sister and I shared a taco salad. The place is pretty empty.But has a few families around. There is a bar so I'm sure this.Please could get a pretty good crew going. Plaza space for many folks to enjoy. Everything is cleaned up pretty well too I don't see a mess anywhere. The food all came out hot and looking delicious very well plated. Again, Margaritas service has been top notch she is very nice. read more

Not sure why this place was empty, the food and service was great! We shared the fish and chips and swapped out onion rings for the "chips" and they were bomb!! Made in house not from frozen! The portion was huge, we were both stuffed! I would definitely come again to try the amazing looking waffles!! read more

I ordered a BLT. The bacon was NOT cooked through. It was semi raw and the lettuce on it was NOT fresh! They need to cook their bacon longer because this shit was disgusting. read more

Giving a 1 star just because the waiter was very kind, and provided great service. Regarding the food to be honest with you it was just bad. I don't know if the cooks were having a bad day. The food was cold , to start off with the omelette ! It was not great, the flavor , the presentation. The French toast bread was hard and cold. My mother-in-law had pancakes, which she said they were OK . I wish I could've taken a picture of that omelette . read more

We enjoy eating lunch here. They have a daily special which is nice. My husband likes the pizza, and I like the Southwest Salad. The servers are always nice and the food comes pretty quickly. read more

My friend loves to come here for their crispy Belgian waffles with strawberries, whip cream and bacon. I have to agree with them, it's good. However I would still prefer a Belgian waffle from ihop as I like mine not so crispy. My all time favorite waffles are at First watch. The eggs here didn't taste good and I would skip next time. I used to come here as a kid and remember they had a car coming out of the wall which was very memorable. I think it was Hudson's grill at that time but maybe it was the place before that. read more

We've been here twice. The table service is a step above most Primo burger locations. The salads are good and large. Breakfasts are generous and well prepared. This is a wonderful diner-level place. read more

Service sucked! We were seated in the corner and 3 servers came around to help others that were seated after us. But not one came asked for our drink order or anything. After 10 mins of sitting there we got up left. Great Customer Service! NOT read more

I never received my order. Contacted both Yelp and Primo Cafe for a remedy. Both refused to make it right.

I went to Primo's Cafe for lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty and we were quickly sat at a table. The server was friendly, polite, and professional. The restaurant was clean and neat. They had a full bar set up in one corner of the restaurant. However, the Men's bathroom has a distinct sewer smell and was a bit beat up, but it also seemed very clean. I ordered the LA Pastrami Melt Sourdough. Which is a different take on the traditional Pastrami sandwich. It was on Sourdough bread instead of Rye. Sadly, I was not a fan. The pastrami had a different seasoning and the sourdough didn't work for me. The cheese also wasn't melted which is what I expected from a sandwich with the word "melt" in it. On Wednesdays, all pizzas are $11.95. My wife ordered the breakfast pizza. The pizza was actually quite good and had the usual breakfast items including bacon, egg, and cheese. The crust was thin and very tasty. My wife asked if they have a full bar and the server said yes. She then ordered a Tequila Sunrise. When the drink arrived my wife commented that it didn't taste like it had any Tequila in it. When we questioned the server, he admitted that they only have a beer & wine license and the drink was made without real tequila. The drink also arrived warm with no ice in the glass. We then ordered a glass of ice and was able to convert the drink into something half decent. When we got the bill, I noticed that we were charged full price ($15.95) for the pizza instead of the Wednesday Special reduced price ($11.95). When I brought up the error to the server, he corrected the bill and apologized. I am usually a big fan of Primo, but this time they didn't meet the bar. read more

Environment is pleasant with clean and neat in appearance. I ordered the New York steak breakfast and realized excessive presence of connective tissue/sinews. Upon close inspection, i realized that what i was served what resembled eye of chuck. WOW, what a dissappointment and i felt embarrased for this establishment. As a US Army veteran, to me food is food so i pressed on consuming this chuck that was actually well seasoned. All things considered, we will never return to Cafe in Lancaster. I do not like being mislead...cook is either incompetent or this place is made a strategic choice to enhance revenue. I notified food server about the wrong cut and showed her, who discounted meal 10%; however, in my minds eye this motion cant make up for the deception. This place nèeds to serve what it touts in its menu. Again, we will never return to this cafe. read more

The cook only makes food to how he believes it should be eaten. I ordered something well done and got something barely cooked. They offered to remake it but said the meat will be cooked the same so I removed it from my order they said give 10 mins and nobody was asked to make my food until 25 mins after. This place isn't worth the drive for me anymore. There used to be a cook here that made my food amazing now its just a dude that argues with the staff, doesn't do well under pressure, and believes the food should be eaten, not to our own liking but to his and his only.after all that I tell them no pico since I'm allergic to tomatoes she decides to put pico in it when I call them after I get home she starts laughing on the phone and says oh they did. read more

I never see this establishment very busy, but then I come early for dinner. I had the shrimp dinner with garlic mashed potatoes, fresh steamed veggies, and garlic bread today. This is my 4th time and I'm sold. The food is good, prices are low, and service is excellent. The menu price for my dinner was $17.95. I paid $25. at a local drive thru for a bacon cheese burger, with avocado, sub onion rings instead of fries and a large iced tea! Is very spacious with lots of windows. I don't knew why this place isn't packed! It's definitely one of the best deals around. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Only two stars because the server we had was good. She came and checked on us a couple times. The restaurant had a few tables full. Bathrooms smelled horrible and there was a dead fly in the bathroom sink. I ordered a Shirley temple with extra cherries and my Husband ordered an iced tea. My drink tasted a little off and the cherries tasted awful, like plastic and rancid. We ordered the western bacon cheeseburger with fried zucchini and fish and chips with salad. The burger was decent tasting, the zucchini was good and hot. The fish was small and tasted like a frozen vandekamps fish patty. Don't think we'll ever be going here again. read more

Great sandwiches and hamburgers. They have a huge menu to choose from & everything is delicious!

Been going to Primos for years. The food is good. The service is good. Breakfast lunch and dinner you can't miss on getting good food and service. Also reasonable prices. read more

Been going there for years, they are friendly and personable. For most part the food is good as well. However, these apps like doordash and ordering for pickup puts the customer and the restaurant in a disadvantaged position. We ordered several breakfast burritos and the hash browns inside were overcooked and so greasy they were not edible. Upon calling and letting them know, they apologized but then you're directed to the app and get an offer of like $7 for food you're throwing away. Makes no sense imo I won't use doordash anymore and won't order from Primo for pickup ever again if I'm going to pay to throw food away. Not sure if I'll go there again or not. People and businesses have choices, too bad for them and me I guess. read more

I had high expectations from this place, sadly it is not what I thought it was. I ordered via Uber eats chicken and waffles and kids portion of Mac and cheese. In my opinion if the chicken is going to be made different from what it normally is, it should be listed in the menu. This was no breaded chicken- it was dry chicken breast. Then the Mac and cheese- it is clearly from a box... which even I can make a better one. Huge disappointment. For the price I paid not including tips and fees was too much considering the food I got. read more

1 star for our server. The server Alfre E, was the worse service I've have ever seen. This is the first time in over 10 years I left a $0.00 tip. He came by our table twice in 1.5 hours we were there. He spent most of his time hiding behind the server counter flirting with the other servers. Our drinks remained empty all through our meal and we even had to get another server to get our check. However, Food is always good here. The chefs do an amazing job. But if you get this server, just get up and leave because he won't even notice read more

Service was excellent. The chorizo breakfast burrito was so delicious. It was my first time here and the restaurant is kind of like a Dennys or Carrows. It's very spacious with a ton of seating. I'm knocking one staf off because it's super pricey. A chicken club sandwich with fries is $16 and soda is $4. A burrito was $11. read more

Their cleanliness isn't at all the greatest, I ordered a hot chamomile tea with honey. The cup was dirty and had left over residue from the previous use. I was able to scrape it off with the spoon gross. If you care about your health I'd stay clear from this place. I won't be coming back here again, it use to be good, but now it seems like it's just a low quality restaurant. read more

We went this morning and had the worst experience I've had in a long time in a restaurant. My niece was leaving For the marines boot camp and they ruined our breakfast with her . I wish we would have just walked out. She didn't even get to eat .Total waste of over 100 dollars for food we all had to throw in a too go box, it took so long to come out . We will not be returning ever. Literally took all the other tables orders and went back to refill the coffees before even asking what we wanted . Then we told her we were in a hurry when she finally took our Order .. An hour later when we were fed up we go up and all out food is there waiting on the line .. still took her 10 minutes to bring it out and when we walked out the waitress was laughing and running her mouth in the front .. read more

So this is apparently the "ham and cheese" omelette. No cheese inside the omelette whatsoever. We had waited so long to eat and my son didn't want to wait for another one so we attempted to doctor it. The "cheese" slices were hard and came up in one piece. Disappointing. read more

I was on the road and looking a place to have lunch, since Primos cafe it's closed by the 14 freeway and did not wanted to drive around I decided to stop by, hesitant for the 3 stars review but surprisingly the place it's pretty big, service was good, their menu it has great variety. I ordered a chicken club sandwich and one of my sons a beans and cheese burrito and the other one buffalo wings. I wouldn't say was the best ever BUT yes pretty good, nice portions and fair prices. To far for me to come back but I think they deserve more than the only 3 stars they have. read more

As a high school student, I recall Primo Cafe opening, in a smaller location in the same plaza just next to Food 4 Less. For a year or so, I would get a breakfast burrito in the morning, and after school, like clockwork, get fries and french toast. Primo cafe was the American breakfast and dinner table missing in my life as my mother slaved away as an R.N., and my father slaved as a firefighter to provide for the constant cash flow I funneled into Primo Cafe every school day. Primo Cafe moved locations to what was "Hudson Grill", in the same Valley Central Plaza where the evidence of there being eight parking spots for every car in America is clear. So...parking is abundant. A "Super" Wal-Mart anchors the plaza, making Primo's easy to find, and offering a front-row view of European colonialism's planned poverty outside. Inside Primo Cafe, Primo is a Spanish word meaning cousin... which I always assumed the name to express... ...Cousin Cafe. Sounded, felt, and tasted a lot like family. Primo could also mean "of top quality or importance"... The food has always been good at a great price. And the food is prepared quickly. I've thought for some time, that Primo Cafe could do more with less. And after returning home... to the tables I've come to know and love, view as "home cooking", still serves, for me, too many options... but like Spanish, from Spain, and Cafe, a French word... ...Spanish, French, and English, the language I express this experience... ...all from Europe, unlike myself and the vast majority of great people offering the best dining experience in the Antelope Valley. So, five stars... "great". Knowing what I know about our family, Primo, I cannot say "great", in totality, but "okay"... yeah. I may never know which Primo Primo Cafe is, but to me, they are both. For the company to become so, they'd have to convert to a cooperative, but I digress. For now, I am grateful for the okay fries, the okay french toast, the okay cobb salads, the okay gyros, the okay chicken wings, the okay breakfast burritos, the okay waffles, the okay cheesecake, and so it goes. Thank you, staff, management, and the owner(s) for providing okay comfort food in an uncomfortable world. with love, okay. -Rojo read more
