    early morning departure from the motel before heading to dodge ridge for a ski session...willow wisp cafe open at 6am for breakfast...friendly local restaurant right off the 108 located in east sonora...convenient stop for breakfast for travelers...seated right away and menu provided...some children/senior menu options along with the regular classic favorites for adults...taking coffee for adults first at $3.75 each...endless refills and service is excellent...very quick to check and refill...one child took the 2 chocolate pancakes $7.95...other taking the 1 pancake, 1 meat and 1 egg special for $9.50...selecting bacon and scrambled egg...pancakes were fluffy and good...bacon was crispy and eggs scrambled nicely...no complaints from the children and gobbled it up...self taking the french toast meal $14.95 and taking scrambled eggs and bacon...bacon was immediately taken by my child and consumed...didn't even get a bite...must have been perfectly crispy...eggs were decent and french toast was perfectly fluffy and the right texture...good all around...other adult taking the basic meat & eggs meal $15.95 with wheat toast, cup of fruit, bacon and scrambled eggs...again, bacon perfectly crispy and eggs all cooked the same...fruit appeared fresh cut...toast was leaning towards burnt and that was the only major flaw in the breakfast....overall, a good breakfast for about $75 total after tax and tip for 2 adults and 2 children...great service and good food...

    Side of biscuits and gravy
    Anastasia C.

    A local gem! We were in town for a wedding and even though we already had free breakfast at our hotel, hubby had to come and try based on the reviews! Service was great, all the waitresses were friendly and patient with us while we figured out what to order. Loved that they knew just about everyone who walked in the door. We shared the lamb rotisserie with eggs (added peppers & onions) and upgraded the side with biscuits and gravy. Wow! Lamb gyro and home fries were exploding with flavor! The tzatziki sauce was incredible, house-made for sure and full of fresh herbs! The place itself has lots of interesting decorations. Make sure you check out the Bigfoot story and footprint by the fireplace!

    Burgertime!!!!!

    Brittany, where were you we I needed you today? They made my steak fries garlic... yuk and they put the sauce on my burger when I asked for it dry so my bun is all soggy and it made my red onion slimy.

    This is a great place to go for Breakfast or lunch. Have never had a bad meal. Fast friendly staff. Clean and inviting. Great options. Love their omelettes..

    Portuguese omelette
    Becky E.

    We love this place! My dad was a regular there and he loved eating here so much. He told me about the Portuguese omelette so I had to try it. Now it's my must have breakfast ! The staff is so wonderful. They are sweet and attentive. You can't help but ogle all the plates as they go by... all the food looks amazing. I've been there on Sundays and it's a popular place but service is always amazing . The restaurant is in an old house and is very cozy and cute. I need to come back for lunch. I have heard amazing things about their burgers and specials.

    Biscuits & gravy

    1) biscuit & gravy meal was great and filling = 5 stars 2) service: Megan and everyone else will take care of you with a genuine smile = 5 stars 3) hometown cafe stop on your way to Columbia = 5 stars One of the best places we visited on our vacay in Sonora, CA.

    Greek omelette. So delicious!

We often order multiple orders of their gyro meat à la carte to go. We use it to make many of our future meals that week (well...if it lasts that long...we often devour it as soon as we're back home). I feel abundantly blessed that Yianni's opened up in the Sonora area. The place is brimming with charm and good vibes. They offer regular specials, and their standard menu is full of flavorful options. No matter your dietary needs or preferences - they got you. We dined in here recently and the staff couldn't have been more attentive and friendly. If you want quality Greek food made with well-chosen ingredients and served with genuine smiles - Yianni's is the spot. Trust.

I had the chicken sandwich, and it was quite bland and seemed to be missing seasoning. My partner enjoyed the fish, so that dish was a better experience. The biggest disappointment was the tzatziki. It tasted unusually sour, almost as if the yogurt had expired. I genuinely hope the kitchen tastes it before serving, as it didn't seem right. I did let the server know and she did let the kitchen know. I'm very familiar with Greek cuisine, and compared to what I've had elsewhere, the food here was unfortunately quite mediocre. I also noticed the owner's responses to other reviews. I hope the feedback isn't only acknowledged but also used to make meaningful improvements. I share these comments in the hope that they help make the dining experience better for future guests.

We love the character and charm of both the outside and inside of the restaurant. We usually try to get there right when they open to beat the crowd. I had the grilled teriyaki salmon salad, and I have to say -- it was one of the best salads I've had in a long time. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a slightly crispy outside, exactly how I like it. I requested the sauces on the side, and they complemented the dish without being overpowering. My daughter had the grilled cheese with sweet potato fries. She compared the grilled cheese to Starbucks' grilled cheese, which is a huge compliment coming from her -- definitely two thumbs up! My husband ordered the BBQ tri-tip and had zero complaints there as well. Overall, it's a great place to eat with delicious food, welcoming customer service, and a really great ambiance. Oh, and don't forget to grab some baked goods on the way out -- definitely a must-try!

We came early (5:30 on a Friday) and it was quiet at first. The wine list still had some gaps, but we found a Val Du Vino GSM we enjoy. The flaming cheese appetizer was delicious, though they didn't give us enough of a heads-up before lighting it--would've loved a chance to catch the moment. Still, it's a fun and tasty start with pita. Service felt a bit rushed early on, with multiple prompts to order entrées before our app even arrived, so we slowed things down ourselves. We split a gyro salad next, which was large and very good--honestly could've been enough with the appetizer. The chicken marsala lived up to the hype with a great sauce, but the sides (green beans and rice pilaf) were underwhelming. The beans were too sweet for me, and the pilaf lacked flavor--plain basmati rice would've been better to soak up the sauce. Overall, a good meal and a much better experience. We'll be back sooner next time.
