    Burger and fries
    Megan S.

    I had a burger and fries. They were delicious! My husband had chicken fried steak and wasn't impressed. Staff was very friendly but everything was SO slow. We sat waiting for everything.

    Clearly great home cooked food! Awesome Tri-tip salad, Pulled pork. Homemade potato chips! Homemade croutons on salad! Great food choice in Colfax!

    My second time here. Tuesday 11 AM Ish. I decided on chicken fried steak and eggs. The meat and the batter were good, the gravy was kind of odd almost a mix of brown gravy and southern gravy with a sprinkle of paprika. The potatoes/onion/peppers tasted like the grill itself. The scrambled eggs were perfect. The sourdough toast was good. The coffee was good. The service was excellent. Overall kind of disappointed since the first time I came here it was so good. Maybe a third try to see where I come out on this place.?

    Stopped to see this "world famous " stop - lunch was a club and onion rings. Daughter had grill cheese and fries. Had an order of fresh fruit too. After the meal we realized why it is famous and a must stop for a meal. Service was great and the prices reasonable as well. Lots of good choices. Wines / pizza / breakfast and burgers. Right off the highway 80 and plenty of parking. We will be back.

    Half of a diet Chin burger in homemade roll
    Amy M.

    Decided to stop and get a bite to eat before getting too far up the road and saw a billboard that said this place. Place wasn't busy as we got there before lunch rush, I ordered a diet chin burger (1patty) which was more than what I could finish so I came home with half a burger. Fries were nice and hot/crispy. Service was nice, friendly and attentive. Would definitely be back next time through to try another delicious meal.

    Looks good on the outside it's what's on the inside that concerns me

    I hate to do this but I was extremely disappointed! My family stopped in after driving 7 hrs. It was rated well and overall looked like a good spot! They had a great variety of food. Three of the four of us decided to get burgers. At first the server said that they only have two patties left and that, that never happens. A moment later the waitress said somebody came back with more patties. Thankful cause I really wanted a burger we decided to order! The presentation of the food looked really good when it arrived at the table. I was a bit concerned that my meat wouldn't stay together. I noticed that it had quite a bit of gristle or fat in it. Actually that's an under statement. The fat content was the most I've ever seen in burger in my life, and the size of the pieces of gristle and fat in my burger was literally the size of nickels! I was so disgusted. I only ate fries. I know it wasn't the waitresses fault and I should've said something. Our whole bill cost $127 and we still tipped the waitress $22 for a total of $149. With as much as they charge for these meals, I don't understand why they couldn't get a decent grade of meat!

    Fire. Go here definitely. Server was nice, tasty food. Inside is themed like a cabin. Very cool

    Pull pork with sweet potato fries
    Michelle G.

    Service was great ... food was good ..little skimpy on the meat for the pulled pork but the pile high was definitely worth 17. Uncharged for sides was a bit steep at 3 bux a pop. Definitely will stop again when we head this way. We will stick with fries or chips though

    They have a very fun menu. Make sure you read all the items. I ordered the chicken sandwich, got it fried with lettuce, tomato, Ortega chili, cheese, and avocado on grilled sour dough. It came with salsa, which was perfect because instead of fries my husband got the home made tater chips. He ordered the tuna sandwich with bacon. The bacon was thick and crispy and delicious. Service was good, but slow. I like the bar area, and can see this place get very busy and probly loud, but a good time. Food is good, definitely recommend for a nice sized lunch.

    Chicken strips tossed in buffalo sauce
    Molly L.

    This place is definitely the highlight of our stay in Colfax. This restaurant is right off the highway and it has great parking, good vibes and great cooking. The portions are huge, which was a pleasant surprise! My friend and I were staying in the area and we wanted to eat somewhere with good food options to fuel us for the trip ahead! We came for dinner and my friend had a burger and I had the chicken strips with buffalo sauce. The chicken strips were a standard size portion and just enough food for me, but the burger was an enormous meal! My friend could only eat half of it and had to take the rest home. Good place for good food and fast service! We would definitely come here again if we are in the area or driving through.

    This place definitely had a homemade cooking feel to it. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered several different items including the clownifornia burger - had a fried egg on it with avocado, chili relleno sandwich - was cheesy and made with sourdough bread, double chin burger - very big with 2 patties and onion rings, turkey dip was fresh and hot, the potato salad was phenomenal and highly recommend it, fries for each meal were great, onion rings and jalapeño poppers were also fabulous. Kids hot dog and corn dog meals were good choices for kids. Can't say enough great things about this place. Very tasty! Has the hole in wall and homemade cooking feel to it. Check them out!

    Steak and eggs and pancake
    Alejandra C.

    Really good breakfast with quick service on our drive up the 80 freeway. Dog friendly too! TJ's scramble (4/5) delicious mix of veggies with egg and ham. Hash browns were perfectly crispy. I had this with French toast which was okay. I liked the pancake more. * I did ask for jalapeños on the side and was charged $1. FYI. New York steak and eggs (5/5) Cooked perfectly for my husband with scrambled eggs. He got a pancake on the side and that was also delicious. Place has a cool vibe to it. Bill came out to $46 for 2. Coffee was okay. Id probably stop by if we were in the area again.

    Clownifornia Burger, no bun.

Since when do I not want change? But then I realized she was asking for a tip. It offended me. I wasn't eating in, I wasn't being served. I was simply paying for my order to take home. You've got a lot of nerve asking that question. I told her fine, keep it. I won't be back. You get paid to take orders and bring then to the front. Tipping is when you serve a table. Somehow it got to where everyone wants a tip now, and it's annoying. I went to Jiffy Lube for an oil change, and they too asked for a tip. That dog don't hunt. I won't go back there either. Seems you should be thankful we gave you our business. Everyone is tired of it. Pretty soon people will stop tipping altogether if you keep abusing our gratuitous nature. Watch and see. I'm not the only one that's fed up.

If we lived closer we'd end up as regulars here, but we'll definitely return on random weekends (and making reservations next time.) The feel of the place has a grotto and barn type of vibe.

They have a super curated wine list, and we got a Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley that was excellent. The short rib poutine was SO amazing and I loved my duck. Ambiance: Great, cozy vibe with lot of brick. Bustling but not too loud. We were kind of tucked at a table without a ton of room around it, so that was a little awkward to wiggle into. But overall, if you're in Nevada City, this is definitely where you want to go for a special dinner!

We arrived a little early for our reservation and were taken to the bar to wait until our table was ready. Word to the wise, make a reservation as the place gets packed!

My only small nit is that I wish the bread was warm. *Stonefruit salad - this was delicious and very fresh *Scallops - absolutely delicious and perfectly seared and cooked! One thing I'll note is that the scallops are very very pricey at over $60 for 5-6 of them. I know it's super fresh and delicious, but this felt like it was overpriced. *Blintzes - we decided to finish with the blitzes for dessert, and these were delicious.
