Amazing service and absolutely amazing food. Service was quick and will return with the entire family. This is my go to spot when in sacramento. read more

Good food, good coffee, efficient staff. We sat at the bar and were greeted and served drinks and food quickly despite a full restaurant. The wait on weekends can be long. We waited about 20 minutes for two people. House pancake was intentionally thin and perfectly cooked. Pork sausage links were savory and salty. Scrambled eggs were fluffy. The restaurant is loud inside. read more

Finally came back to The Morning Fork after almost a year, but I was sad to say my friend and I were both disappointed with the food today. I ordered the French toast, it was just ok. My friend also said her eggs, hashbrowns and bacon were on the bland side. Food was decent but lackluster. BUT the best part of our whole meal was the side of biscuits and sausage gravy. Those were delicious. However, I probably wouldn't come back after this experience given the strong brunch competitors in the area that have opened up. read more

I now see why the Morning Fork is often busy every day. I finally got to try this spot for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Despite the crowd waiting outside, there was only a 10 minute wait. My table ordered the crab Benedict with hashbrowns, blueberry pancake, and the French toast with a side of eggs and fruit. Our food came out pretty fast. Everything ordered was really good. Can't wait to visit this place again as they have a big menu. read more

Excellent cozy cafe/diner with fabulous breakfast options. The space is narrow and seating is limited; plan ahead! The maple fried chicken and sausage gravy were delicious and my over-easy eggs were perfect. I was not a fan of the sourdough toast, but that's probably just personal preference. With good coffee and great service, the Morning Fork is great for brunch or a date or even just a treat yo self morning. read more

The Morning Fork - Maple fried chicken, sausage gravy, over easy egga - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

I would probably say one of my favorite breakfast spots in sac. Why? It's a no frills non experimental mom and pop shop. Yes they do have the unique pancakes and French toast with fruits etc but I came to see what a good old fashioned French toast, eggs benny and biscuits and gravy were all about. The mimosas were good both mocktail and and with liquor. They are kinda small I wish they were just a little bigger. And their servers were so sweet and brought up their yogurt which cleaned my palate after eating hearty comfort food. What we ordered below. You can check out the review I made on IG and tik tok @ TheFood.snob Drinks: * The "That's Pretty" mimosa--edible glitter, seasonal fruit, peach syrup, ginger beer--flashy, but surprisingly balanced. * For a spirit-free option: "It's Green"--kiwi, mint, jalapeño. Bright, refreshing, with a subtle kick. The mains: * Fried chicken & waffle--crispy, deeply savory, dialed in * Brioche French toast--rich, indulgent, soaked in maple butter * Biscuits & gravy--thick, creamy, unapologetically savory * Eggs Benedict--perfectly poached, with a house hollandaise that carries read more

I'm giving this five stars because I love classic 60s 70s types of diners where they have just good basic breakfast.. Nothing special and fancy but just good comfort breakfast food like biscuits and gravy and Eggs Benedict with great hashbrowns. Their service was super attentive. We kept on getting coffee and water and nonstop. The interior is what you would expect of a basic diner with brown chairs and seating at the bar. It's what I would want in a place like this. I'll definitely be back. read more

The Morning Fork - Eggs Benedict with fruit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

Haven't been here in years and didn't really remember my last visit, but we were walking around Midtown and wanted lunch. Luckily, we were seated without a wait around noon even though it was busy inside. My girlfriend ordered the Belgian waffle and I got the maple sage fried chicken. Food came out very quickly, and the waiter was a bit blunt but attentive. The country potatoes were really good, fluffy yet crispy. The chicken itself was great, crispy and juicy without being greasy. It was a solid fried chicken, but there was almost no maple or sage flavor, which was a bit confusing. The sausage gravy was absolutely stellar. Honestly, the best way to judge a breakfast spot is by its gravy, and theirs had a lot of layers of flavor, deep and rich. Eggs were cooked perfectly to order, and the toast was just standard buttered toast. I tried a bite of the waffle too, and it was super airy yet crispy, really nice. Overall, a solid spot and pretty fair pricing for being on the grid compared to other places. read more

Don't let the somewhat sketchy neighborhood deter you from eating breakfast here! Be brave because it's well worth it! We ordered the Fancy Banana Waffle & it was absolutely divine! A thick, fluffy waffle was the base for banana medallions, each with a caramelized crust, tons of chopped nuts, and amazing whipped maple butter. No need to add the syrup to this decadent breakfast item! The staff were very friendly and doting! read more

I've avoided this place for a long time, simply because the line is always so long. But, we decided to just try it out and I'm so glad we did. Turns out, the wait isn't really that long at all. I mean, with the caveat that the counter is an acceptable option for you and yours. So, I hate diner coffee so much but this spot has legit diner coffee that I can enjoy. That was the first huge plus and we hadn't even order yet. Went with the order I always get at a diner with vibes. Corned beef hash with eggs over medium. Really solid flavor, eggs were cooked well and it was super good!! It's a lot of food so easily could be a leftovers option. The next time we came on in I did a classic Benny and it was really good. They obviously use salt and seasonings here cause the flavors pop. Gotta get back soon and maybe even try that fruity pebbles waffle but that might require an extra edible or two beforehand. Love love this place and the counter is always so much fun causing meeting new peeps and chatting whilst stuffing our faces is always my jam. read more

What a fun, hoppin' joint! Joined some out of town friends for Sunday brunch here recently. Friendly service and food was delivered pretty quickly. We shared chicken and waffles and the traditional eggs Benedict with loaded hash browns. The latter was quite good with tasty hollandaise sauce, but the loaded hash browns were a bit disappointing as the cheese wasn't even melted (cold hash browns?). The waffle was good but the chicken was on the dry side and I didn't love the corn meal crust. Friends had a BLT (looked good) and a single huge pancake with a side of sausage patties. Coffee was strong and delicious. I'd definitely hit this place again! read more

Best brunch in town. I love it here. They offer vegetarian options that a lot of breakfast places don't. The food is always delicious and full of flavor. I love the mimosas and all the different flavors. It' stays busy but that's a good thing. I'm never disappointed. When we want a good breakfast/ brunch . We drive from Yuba City just to eat here because we know we won't be disappointed. If you want a great brunch/breakfast. This is the spot !!!! read more

This quaint downtown restaurant is just what you need on a Sunday morning. The sign in sheet outside with no hostess is a little odd but the staff does a good job of checking in on the list and on a Sunday morning the wait time is between 30-40 minutes. There is a huge counter seating area and lots of table and chair seating on both sides of the restaurant. The staff checked in with us immediately at the counter and offered to explain anything on the menu. I ordered their staple dish of the maple fried chicken and egg breakfast and it was amazing. The batter and seasoning was great. They offer beer, cocktails and Bloody Mary if that's what you like. Parking maybe a little of a challenge as it is only street parking with pay by meter. If you are the area definitely stop by as you will not be disappointed! read more

Ughhhhh wish this spot was closer to home!! To keep a long story short, this is your diamond in the rough, classy, mom and pops, one of a kind, hole in the wall breakfast joints. Parking? Good luck. It's down town Sac so it is what it is. Our server was sassy - but sassy in a very good way because that's precisely how we knew this was a TOP breakfast spot! Iykyk. Service was fast, friendly, prompt, and accurate. Pancakes were delicious, fluffy, and filling. Corned beef was made with perfection. Now the highlight - their egg benedicts are the BEST we've had near and around the Roseville area! We've had our share around Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville, and Sacramento. Now THIS is how you make an egg benedict. Wife had crab egg benedict - was hands down the BEST dish we had for breakfast in quite some time. Forget the fancy spots. This is it, your search has ended. Decor brought me back to the good'ol days with nothing but simple, good food that'll send you loving the rest of day no matter what. Highly recommended for everyone, families, friends, and even solo solos! Follow your nose and it'll lead you right over to The Morning Fork. read more

I'd say the service was pretty good and they had like a foh/bouncer employee at the front door, which was like shocking. Food came out relatively quick, and the mimosas were a nice hit in the morning. Prices were a little high for everything, mine was reasonable, but the other menu items were a little eh. Good food and staff though. read more

We started the day at opening at Morning Fork for a good American breakfast in a diner setting. The place fills up quickly, so I recommend arriving right at 8:00 AM for no-wait seating.

My go-to #1 breakfast establishment in the Sacramento area! I'm here for Bdays, Mothers days, really any celebratory reason haha. From the service of the amazing staff to the sage fried chicken and waffles, the Benedict's, the mimosas. I also love the art they have for sale from local artist on the walls. Super incredible place. It is downtown so you should be used to the bums by now but they keep to themselves. read more

Me and my girlfriend came here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. I got the sage fried chicken and let me tell you!!!!! HOLY COW!! That is the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. The seasoning on it was perfect! The sage really burst in my mouth like nothing I've ever had before. And the gravy that came with it was really delicious too. The hash brown was perfectly crispy and a side of smooth scramble eggs. My girlfriend orders the smaller breakfast platter which came with a big buttery pancake, the most delicious bacons I've ever had, and scramble eggs YUM!!! I also got their butterfly pea tea lemonade which was really good too. Really refreshing and not too sweet. Our server was okay checked up on us once. And the place kind of seemed like an old cafe sort of. I can't wait to come back and try their eggs benedict. Come here now!!!!! You won't regret it! read more

The skinny: Bacon waffle was decent Chicken and waffles is still excellent Super fast seating even on a busy day The lengthy: Too much eating out and sickness pushed our Thanksgiving treat to the very end of 2025! But we made it- the service as always was attentive and kind. The hustle and bustle of a busy yet successful restaurant was ok with two kids and a baby stroller. The art on the walls allows for plenty of good question and answer, "What are the paintings for?" "What do the numbers mean?" We elected to give the children more choice which they used on a bacon waffle. We also ordered the chicken and waffle, with extra chicken, a biscuits and gravy and seasonal veggies. Chicken & Waffle: crunchy and flavor Chicken, fluffy and crispy waffle Bacon Waffle: "not too salty, not too sweet" (i.e., Goldilocks) Biscuits and Gravy: a bit salty and less meat in the gravy than expected Seasonal Veggies: asparagus and mushrooms well-flavored with salt, onions and garlic There are no pictures for this meal because we learned from the last time: it's amazing when it's hot! Biscuits and gravy could go down a few notches on saltines and up on protein. We will be back next year read more

THE MORNING FORK is easy to find and there are plenty plenty of street metered parking. We had to wait a bit for it to open because we got there too early. But do you believe it? Our group was not the only ones there by the time it opened! I don't know what it used to be and I haven't confirmed my speculation, but it looks like this restaurant didn't bother gutting an old diner and decided to use the existing counter, stools and booths. We came to visit to try their CHICKEN & WAFFLE -- it was worth the wait!! The order was large enough for two people. The waffle was crunchy on the outside, airy on the inside, and the butter and maple syrup made it yummilicious. The chicken was also crispy on the outside, fully cooked, well-seasoned and had juicy meat. CHICKEN FRIED STEAK was also very delicious. The meat was slim, tender, well-seasoned and crispy. The server was patient, flexible and nice. read more

Decided to try the meat omelette with hash browns for lunch today because my cousin wanted to pick it up. I don't have much to say about service, but I must say the omelette is really good. I really like the sausage they put in the omelette, tastes good and has a tiny bit of spice. The hash brown is only ok to me. Maybe be better if i ate it at the restaurant. I would definitely order the omelette again or try the biscuit and gravy. My cousin got the biscuit and gravy and it smelled really good! read more

Came here on a Friday a little after noon. A short wait for a table of 4. Once seated the server was quick to take our drink and food order. Appreciated how they are able to make customizations to the food orders as my friends removed and added proteins to what they ordered. I ordered the corned beef hash with hash browns, sourdough bread and my eggs scrambled. The portion size was more than enough. Everything was well seasoned, not too salty which you'd expect from corned beef. The hash browns was fresh, crispy and thankfully not greasy at all. For the table we split the pistachio waffle. I wish the waffle itself was fresh - it felt like it had been sitting out for a while. It wasn't too sweet. And the butter it came with was a nice balance. No need to add syrup as it was flavorful on its own. I appreciate the old school diner vibe. It was a bit windy the day I came and leaves would blow inside the restaurant so the floor had a lot of leaves that I wish they cleared out but only did as they were closing. I'd come back as the have a lot of food options I want to try. Good local eats. read more

there is always, always a line outside this place. Forget the weekends, almost as bad as Tower Cafe. Even during the weekdays, there is generally line of customers waiting to dine at this spot. We were lucky though. It was Tuesday morning and we were immediately seated at our table - nice. Wait staff are very friendly and cordial. Coffee flavor had a nice roast, robust, hot, and not bitter. I drink my coffee black so it was perfect. Staff were constantly refilling our coffee-another positive score. So what did we order? Omelettes. 1) Vegetarian: fresh seasonal veggies that consisted of asparagus, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, and cheese. all the veggies were fresh and not mushy-still had a little texture and bite- nice. But the omelette itself was cooked to perfection: fluffy and tender. The hash browns were also very good. crispy outside and tender in the middle. the only thing that needs improvement was the english muffin. blah. should've ordered the sourdough toast instead. But the main entree was excellent. 2) All meat: same review as the vegetarian: no complaints all good except for the english muffin again. would i return. yup. i need to try their pancakes. read more

I've had The Morning Fork on my list for some time and finally had a chance to go for brunch. Arrived around 10a and it was already crowded. You put your name on the list right outside the door unless you want to sit at the counter and there is a seat available. We sat my the door so there was a breeze every time the door opened but the only booth that was available. As I said.... They were busy! Seated and ready to eat. Everything looked so good but I chose the Canadian Eggs Benedict. I really liked the option of a half or full order. I hardly ever finish my breakfast/brunch meals especially if it's large portions. Also tried the sweet bacon on the side and some waffles. First bite... everything tasted SO GOOD and with so many flavors. I finished all my breakfast but a couple pieces of my potatoes. I was stuffed, the service was great and I can see why they're so busy. The food is literally good! I'll have to come again and try something else on the menu. read more

The Morning Fork - Check out that waffle ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

I was in the area by the convention center for a conference and opted to step away from that immediate area for breakfast, a quick .7 miles away from the convention center, and you end up at the Morning Fork. If you haven't been, this is a must in my opinion. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by amazing people with a old school feel. Very welcoming individuals, and the location is deceptively larger than you would imagine. The moment you sit down, they take care of you. The first day I came here, I had the chicken and waffle, which is the best one I've had in ages. The chicken was moist and the waffle batter was flavorful. The 2nd day I came back and had the chicken fried steak and eggs, which is a lot of food, but well worth it. The flavor was great, and the food was very filling. read more

Better late than never in writing this review... I ate at The Morning Fork last month as I met up with two friends for breakfast, and from the moment I walked in, I could tell this is a quintessential diner. Even though we were seated in the back/side room, I still felt part of the hustle and bustle of a very popular breakfast spot. The menu is full of [very] tempting options but the French Toast won me over. It arrived topped with a cloud of whipped butter and fresh strawberries and I devoured it so quickly that I finished before my (male!) dining companions even put their forks down. It was that good - soft, sweet, and perfectly balanced. To my side and across the table, the breakfast burrito and eggs Benedict seemed to be hits as well with both of my friends giving nods of approval for their selections. Our server struck the perfect balance of attentive, patient, and genuinely friendly which made the experience even better. The endless coffee refills sealed the deal as my mug never sat empty and the staff consistently made sure it stayed hot and fresh. The Morning Fork seems to include everything you might want in a breakfast spot: great food, warm service, and an atmosphere that is both local and welcoming. I would absolutely come back here again, whether meeting friends, grabbing a solo bite, or recommending a go to brunch spot for anyone living in or passing through Sacramento. Thanks for finding this gem, Bink & Tom! read more

What a fun place to have breakfast! I ordered the Two Eggs Choose One breakfast (I had 2 eggs over medium, the applewood bacon, sourdough toast, and fruit cup), which is my "test" breakfast when I go to a new place (I figure that if they get that wrong, there's no reason to ever go back). I was not disappointed. The eggs and toast were perfect. The bacon was exactly how my mother liked it (she preferred extra crispy. I like it a little less crispy, but enjoyed it. Thought about my mom and toasted her with a piece of bacon). The big surprise was the fruit cup. Not the yucky grapes-and-melon pieces that I usually get. Fresh pineapple, blueberries, and strawberries! The ambience is reminiscent of the places that I hung out in high school and my first year of college. Very nostalgic and comfortable. The coffee brought back memories of the hours spent at the diners I loved. And there was lots of happy chatter from the full house that we joined. The service is great. The restaurant was packed and the kitchen sent out hot food, no wait. The staff was cheerful and worked well together. My husband really enjoyed the salsa omelette with country potatoes. I tried the potatoes and they are absolutely delicious. I think that I'll have this next time. read more

Had a fantastic breakfast at the Morning Fork! The chicken and waffles were absolutely amazing--the chicken was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The waffle had a delicious crunch that paired perfectly with the savory chicken. I also tried the gluten-free waffle, and it was outstanding. The cinnamon roll topping really made it special, adding just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. It's not always easy to find gluten-free options that taste this good, but Fork definitely delivered. The house potatoes were seasoned well and had just the right amount of peppers and onions to make it fully flavorful. Great food, fresh ingredients, and flavors that stand out. I'll definitely be back! read more

The drinks were creative and delicious. What really stood out was the amount of customization available on the menu.
