“We love the chicken nuggets! Great food and friendly service. Just really wish they would consider opening on the weekends for breakfast. We would frequent more when they would open 1 weekend day. That is when most families want to enjoy breakfast eating out.“

“Kathy and I have always enjoyed the Jantz Café starting 20 years ago or so. The friendly faces as you walk in the staff and patrons seem all to be cheerful, everyone enjoying a great meal.Each time we came to California Kathy looked forward to going to the Jantz Café.“

“I’ve been an avid customer for more than 17 years. Majority of the time I eat solo because I run errands or have appointments after I eat there however I’ve introduced my family to this wonderful little cafe whenever they are in town. They all are big fans of Granny’s and always want to go there when in town. By the way my fam is from Santa Barbara & Los Angeles! Besides enjoying a nice meal I love talking with my fellow customers that’s one of the pluses of a small town cafe. Sad to see someone had a bad experience thank heaven that’s the exception not the norm. Granny’s is the only place I eat pancakes at usually in place of toast plus I love that they offer fresh fruit 🍉 not canned. Also enjoy their daily soup, split pea being one of my favs, also love their Taco salad. Well I could go on and on with various things I enjoy however some things you’ll have to try for yourself. As far as service it’s always been good for me however I know there has been changes and with that there is a learning time with new personnel. I’m sure everyone has had a good or bad experience now and then when eating out, here’s wishing you a great experience when come to this little towns cafe❤️“

Cold not warm. Wine was excellent. Good. Choice. !!!!!“

“Came this morning for a quick Breakfast with my girlfriend and was blown away by the service as well as the food . I ordered the Mississippi platter and wasn’t disappointed I don’t know who the Cooks are but they deserve a raise . I was helped by a girl named “ Hope “ and her service was excellent . I’ll be returning soon I appreciate It !“

“The most incredible dishes. Angela’s soups are to die for, and I get a few to take home every week. Her sandwiches and salads are so good and her risotto is the dreamiest. The staff is fun and fast and accommodate for meetings and large groups. The tri tip salad or sandwich is excellent but on Friday they have salmon salad that is the best ever“

“Some of my best memories with my grandfather and all the truckers that used to stop in. Go ask for the biscuits and gravy on the side. Try butter and jam on one and see how you like it. instantly brings back memories of Grandma's and Grandpa cooking with freshest coffee ☕ in town. Made with the cleanest Atwater 💦🌊💦. 👍 👍 👍“

“Jams 209 is our weekly or bi-weekly spot that my family goes too. We love the music, food and our favorite person is Erin because of her great customer service. She goes above and beyond. As regulars we can count on Erin to make sure service is smooth and very hospitable. My husband and I have a weekly lunch date or biweekly and our family enjoys dinner together as often as we can. Thanks Erin for always having a smile, enjoying what you do and for always providing great customer service!! Even when it’s busy you manage to take time to say hello to us and make us feel like family. Your the best!!“

“Perfect date night with my husband! The food, service and wine were amazing! Loved that the owner checked in on us before we headed out too! ☺️ We can’t wait to come back!“

“Our family ate here a couple weeks ago. Everyone ordered something different and we shared. This will be our go to restaurant for family gatherings. The service was excellent and the food was cooked to perfectly. Sometimes we go to restaurants and there is something on the menu that we won’t order again. Not here!! We are from Modesto and this is now our favorite restaurant in the Central Valley. We’re making a reservation right now for 10 of us next week“

“It’s a great atmosphere tons of fun on Thursday. They have karaoke Friday they always have a DJ and Saturdays. They have live bands great place to have fun with your friends and just let loose safe atmosphere.“

“The hidden gem in the desert. Almost drove by and didn't noticed it, but so glad I did. Burgers are made fresh like everything they serve, not frozen or microwaved. On way to Rancho Cucamonga from Vegas, stopped and ordered a breakfast burrito. It was great, so I stopped by on the way back to Vegas for a late lunch. Burger, fries & shake were the best. Highly recommend to anyone traveling thru. A+“

“great place great service always a go to.“

“I've always loved Jams 209 since they opened in Atwater but I'm so happy theyve stayed open for delivery (and now outdoor seating) during the pandemic and still pumping out delicious food! I love the staff and while I will keep supporting thru pickup now....looking forward to the day I can come back and enjoy the fun atmosphere & friendly employees again as well 🙂“

“One of our favorite spots. We have brought several friends and family and boast about the incredible food and service. Only disappointment is the bathrooms. Such a beautiful location with very poor kept bathrooms. Tonight we have a reservation for 2 and got offered high top or the table next to the bathroom when every table but 3 were open. We try to make our date nights special tonight was disappointing with these options. (We reluctantly chose the table next to the bathroom) Our server Priscilla was so sweet she made up for it. But even when we were leaving there were still empty tables. It’s the little things like that, that will make us rethink our choice next time.“

“Food was delicious, had great service . Server Elizabeth was very attentive & pleasant . Over all had a nice dinner . Will be coming back again .“

“it's just all around good food“

“I'm actually beginning to like Denny's over IHOP. I take my GrandKids to breakfast a lot and they prefer Denny's now. Also I noticed my regular breakfast options are better there. The only thing I miss is warm syrup. Family friendly our waiter was nice“
