Amazing breakfast, full-service bar, great patio, barbecue, and friendly staff. Loco's Motive Chew Chew BBQ is a Snelling, CA "foodie" destination! As you enter the restaurant you'll be be greeted by a friendly staff member who will seat you. Today, the restaurant was lightly seated, so I simply bypassed the restaurant and steated myself at the bar... at the cantina part of Loco's. From the "Breakfast" page of the menu, I went with "Tri-Tip and Eggs," which made for a great start to my Saturday morning. You get the choice of home style potatoes or hash browns - I went with hash browns - and your choice of toast. Sourdough toast always works with me! Eggs were cooked to order - sunnyside up as per my request - and I went with an optional side of gravy, and a Coors beer as an appetizer. Yowza! The showcase of the breakfast was a generous helping of smoked tri-tip beef... sliced to size and fork tender. The smoky taste, the marinated, tender beef... simply melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Hash brown potatoes were crispy on the outside, tender, juicy on the outside, thanks to the skill of chef Dave. Eggs? Sunnyside up, as per order, and cooked simply perfect. Sourdough toast was my choice, and it arrived... two large slices along with a cup of soft butter to spread on the toast and enjoy. I ordered an optional side of sausage gravy, which was simply perfect for dipping - tri-tip and hash browns - and added an exceptional dimension to my delicious breakfast. How many ways can you say thick, delicious, creamy sausage gravy? The Coors beer made for a great appetizer... or was it dessert? Whatever the case, the beer was perfect and worked with the delicious breakfast. Combine the amazing food and the super friendly service,,, you're talking about five star dining in Snelling, CA

After then switching out my item and asking if that would work he still charged me full price... when i called him out he got flustered and screamed in my face that he had asked if everything was correct when he knew it wasnt ... hence the whole reason why i had switched my items out. I literally took pictures and showed him the deal was directly on the items i was checking out and he still said no. He didnt even know what items the deal applied too!! he should not be working register i had to even correct him after trying to charge me full price for an item off the $1. I seen someone else say sum like this very similar which is insane cuz you would think they address the issue with staff or at least the guy working behind register because he was insanely rude.
