What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Vallejo staple for brunch known for their toast! Their house made toast that is so sweet, thick and so good just on its own. You can also try it with cinnamon too. Located off Springs road only open for breakfast and lunch, they close early but the homiest diner with great service. They have a parking garage and street parking. I got the garden omelette that had a ton of veggies, their house potatoes, and their toast. One of my friends got their pancakes and a side of sausage. My other friend got their country fried steak and eggs, which also came with house potatoes and toast. Each meal was around like $20 with huge portions. They have booth, table, and bar seating. They also have a location in Suisun."

"This used to be a great place for a real breakfast. Or great tuna sandwich on there classic bread. But as of lately the service was terrible, I was charged more than the price on the menu, given some lame excuse about how they haven't changed the menu yet. I was very disappointed The place used to be hard to get a seat. During my visit only one other person was there. Yet I got no service, never filled my coffee or asked if all was okay. Then over charger. I took in to consideration that it's under new ownership."
