An old school diner experience. It felt like I traveled back in time as they have an interior of a classic diner. There were most Seniors dining here when we went on a Saturday morning. The prices are pretty good for what they have. I got 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 bacon for $11, which is a pretty good deal nowadays. They are not the best quality but they are good for what it is. If I have the craving for classic diner breakfast, I will come here again. The service was fast and friendly and they always refill your coffee! Parking is easy as it is in a strip mall. read more

Great little old school dinner the breakfast is reasonably priced and a good amount of food

I would have left a 4 or 5 stars review , but it took exactly 7 minutes to acknowledge me; I'd have understood if they were crowded but there were only 5 people already served and two of them were party of 2. After being seated and served coffee, it took another 9 minutes for the lady who served me my coffee ask me if I've been helped; well, I would've if the waitress wasn't too busy tending and entertaining one of the locals who seemed very familiar with the place. Other than that the food was excellent and served warm and delicious. read more

Excellent service all of them are fantastic at greeting people and making them feel welcomed. The American breakfast was good. Pancakes were fluffy. Lots of locals come here as I was observing who was walking in. I ordered a chorizo burrito and didn't really like it because it wasn't really like the chorizo I was expecting from a Mexican ran restaurant. So, won't be coming here for that. However do love that it's local and better than the commercial options. read more

The Town Cafe - Old style coffee shop. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sun Valley, California

Was looking for a place to have breakfast and found The Town Cafe. Nowhere near me. But I liked the menu. Plenty of parking. The staff is super attentive. The cafe has been here since 1968. I had the chicken fried steak breakfast. The gravy is delicious. Portions very satisfying. Good coffee. The only downside is that dogs are not allowed on the patio. If I'm in the area, I would come here again. read more

This place reminds me of the old days when you knew everybody.. all the waiters know you by your first name.. can even guess what you're going to order.. it's like sitting down with a whole bunch of family members and the food is great and comes out quickly.. a definite go to for a bite to eat . read more

Ordered my family a meal to go and a side of hash browns. Asked for them crispy. They gave me chips!? I am so confused as to why any cook would think crispy hash browns means completely toast them into chips! Extremely disappointing! Overall we like the food. The older male waiter is very sweet and helpful. Never asking for hash browns crispy again. Someone inform this cook what crispy hash browns means. read more

This place used to be real good The last few times the order were so messed up, that you wonder if they understand English. Today the food is so loaded with MSG that even after 3 hours I feel really sick. I don't think I'll be ordering from them again. read more

Amazing food and service! The veggie soup and salad is delicious! We go for large parties and they are always so welcoming and friendly. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Really good chicken blt sandwich. Our waitress was the sweetest lady I wish I would've got her name ,very loving to my sweet baby girl .

1968 decor - which I love! Old school vibe all the way. The rock over the entryway is exactly the same late 50's stuff on my childhood home's fireplace. Orange tiles around the kitchen area & burnt orange vinyl booth seats. Fake wood Formica tabletops. Nostalgia! Counter seating stools have been removed though- bummer... As for the food, there are lots of old school favorites as well as more modern fare. Senior specials if you are 55 & over. It's known as a breakfast place and that's what I come for. Chicken fried steak is my favorite with the corned beef hash a close second. Plenty of parking in the shared lot and also on the street a short stroll away. My waiter, an older Spanish speaking gentleman, was especially sweet- very attentive and kind. He turned me onto their house salsa! Super tasty and highly recommend you put it on your eggs or anything else you desire... A solid, local hang for mostly senior citizens. If you want a quiet, mellow morning place for your Brekkie- this is it. Nothing too fancy here- foodies be warned! read more

Some good friends of ours invited us to have breakfast with them at Town Cafe. They told us about the place as they go there often. Besides the good food, he likes to play California Hot Spot while they have their meals. We met them there and the place is quaint and lively. The waitress, Ida, was very friendly and patient. The food was very good and my steak and eggs was scrumptious. My wife's chorizo and eggs made her happy and she's not a big fan of the item. It turns out many regulars go to this restaurant to dine and play Hot Spot. I guess in Vegas, it's called Keno. Anyway, I didn't want to miss out on the fun so my friend explained the game to me and I played along. I'm not a gambler by any means but this was fun and it made for a nice experience at breakfast. We will go back some day, most likely to meet our friends there. The food is very good and the atmosphere is pleasant. I noticed many construction workers coming in for the hearty breakfast and lunch plates. Dining here and getting a good meal is a sure bet. read more

They changed the vanilla milkshakes. Now it just tastes like very plain vanilla if that makes sense. Prices are still good as well as the service. read more

Food was good but the one server was overwhelmed...it was my second time there. First time service was way better.

I Was Expecting a Typical Diner, But Experienced Chaos I called ahead to find out the wait time for a party of 3, and I was told there was no wait. Once we arrived, there was some confusion because there was a sign that said to seat yourself, but also a wait list sign up sheet. We were not the only guests who were confused by this. After being seated we were brought some menus and told by staff that someone would be taking our order, but they were a bit busy (I should've taken this as a sign to leave). Our waiter came about 15 minutes later to take our order. We waited, waited, and WAITED. I had forgotten at what time we arrived so I went to check my "check in" which said an hour ago. We were not the only people with this issue, everyone around was waiting for their food. The food FINALLY came and it was good, but the whole experience made me not want to go back. This place only had 2 cooks and a few waiters. PLEASE HIRE MORE STAFF. It would help run the establishment better, but most importantly have the staff more at ease. They all looked stressed and we're running around (LITERALLY). It was hard to even be upset because they were clearly overworked. read more

Racist atmosphere. Never going back there. Food is great but customers (locals) staring at you while you're eating made me very uncomfortable. Made me feel unwelcomed. Thanks to the servers. Excellent job! read more

The food was delicious and the service was incomparable. This place has a great, comfortable vibe and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this place. read more

Unfortunately, I'm required to give at least one star. My server was extremely nice but the food was inedible. The italian sausage was not even close to Italian or sausage. It was filthy. Whoever keeps giving this place 4 stars needs their yelp profile revoked. The decor is super old and the restaurant is unclean. Oh and let's not forget the roach on our table in broad daylight. Absolutely not. Please shut this place down. read more

This is a great place if your feeing nostalgic. It's not just a 70s vibe, it literally hasn't changed since the 70s, from food to service to ambiance. There may be a few added enhancements from the 80s, but not much. I would've given them 4 stars, but I was really looking forward to a hot cup of coffee with my breakfast. These days, they're serving drinks out of paper and styrofoam. I hate the taste of paper cup with my morning coffee. Food is average coffee shop food and prices are reasonable. They did however way undercook my bacon and forgot to bring my replacement until I was done with my meal. They are understaffed right now with extra seating both inside and outside. Gotta love the electric cord running through our booth. Almost forgot, I did not enjoy the added disruption of having to get up after being seated to look at the menu taped to the counter. Suggestion: disposable paper menu. Just type one up and make copies. It'll take an hour of somebody's time. read more

What can improve? Everything! This place is a huge disappointment!! Disrespectful and inconsiderate to people with disabilities. Can I leave 0 stars for this restaurant's owner who harassed us about our service dog for sitting and settling next to our table? He asked us multiple times to move to a table in the back after the hostess gave us 2 options, and we chose one, in the back! He seemed to be overly concerned about the "traffic" to the restroom which was near our booth at the end of the walkway. The food can't be so good that we'd stay and choose to spend our money ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, at this sorry and uneducated establishment. Had the nerve to say "thank you for your understanding". No! No one is understanding your discrimination. It is inexcusable! read more

Simple, reasonably priced food. We went there for breakfast and my son and I had a fritata which was nicely cooked, My daughter had the eggs benedict and liked it. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. read more

The Good Daily specials come with entree, potato or rice, vegetable, soup cup, side salad, and dessert. Today's choices include Meatloaf, Liver and Onions!, Hawaiian Chicken, and two pasta dishes. $10 -Flattened grilled chicken breast was nicely seared and tender with 1/4 cup pineapple sauce. Veggie was peas, and dessert. was ice cream or tapioca - Like the cabbage soup in tomato onion base - Friendly waitresses - Food came out fast The Bad: - Took 10 minutes after I finished my meal to get my check - The men's bathroom needs chlorine cleaning to rid the pee smell - House trailer parked across the street and homeless guy hanging near The Skinny: Huge menu. Somewhat downscale, but homey place with simple yummy food at a good price. if the bathrooms were clean and if more prompt with the check issue, they'd be 5 stars. BTW - I was here 4 years ago for breakfast and little has changed. Safe to say that this is not a hotbed of youthful hormones out of control. There are lots of retired regulars at this spot. PS: You might scoff at Liver and Onions, but unless you're an expectant mother, it's loaded with protein, B vitamins, iron, and more. https://www.livestrong.com/article/273011-nutrition-in-liver-onions/ read more

I love Town Cafe and their food. They've been renovating making it look nicer and cleaner still has a way to go but they're getting there . Every time I go in there it's so nostalgic even the food , so amazing ! We've only had a bad incident with a waitress who wanted to go home and had to be forced to serve us ? So she was kinda pressing on us ordering food . She had a nasty attitude but she left and it was all smooth sailing from there . No other bad experiences and yummy food every time . read more
