Vic’s Martinez – A Hidden Gem with Waffles to Die For
If you ever have to go to court (or even if you don’t!), Vic’s in Martinez is the perfect spot to stop afterward. Their waffles are seriously to die for. And for those who are gluten-free—not by choice, like my sister-in-law—they have amazing “hipster toast” that she absolutely loves.
I’m so grateful I got to visit during their last weekend open. It was heartbreaking to hear at the end of our meal that they’re closing after Mother’s Day weekend. We’re crossing our fingers they’ll reopen after the building remodel. If not, I’ve heard that The Hideout in Lafayette is owned by the same folks, so I’ll definitely be giving that a try next!

I have been coming to Vic's for years and have always enjoyed the food, large portions and great service. Times sure have changed. New owners? New management? New cook? First... Paying $40 for two breakfasts and being served the food on a plastic plate with plastic fork and knife is not acceptable. The eggs were dry, and the gravy was barely enough to cover the biscuits. I am sorry I didn't take a photo of the meal and post it. This is what I would expect at a McDonald's at breakfast time... especially the plastic plate and fork. Oh... and the OJ was something out of a condensed can with water added. I will never come back!

The food was great, but the service was lacking. Orders are placed via QR code, and my companion’s meal took an unusually long time, making it seem forgotten. I also ordered a $3 iced tea, which had no free refills, and my jungle juice, though delicious, took several minutes to arrive. Despite it not being busy on a Thursday morning, service was slow, and the staff rarely checked in. I’m not sure what I’m tipping for if they don’t provide refills or regular service. I’d consider returning if they offered physical menus, free refills on tea, and better service.

Good service and atmosphere, but basic tasting food. I've been here a few times, and it's consistently generic. With the high prices and basic flavor, it's slightly off-putting.

Ordered two steak salads for lunch on Doordash. Steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare, but was very chewy verging on tough...it really needed to be tenderized better. The bell peppers and onions were deliciously roasted and the spring greens were very fresh, but they automatically substituted green beans instead of asparagus because they ran out of asparagus (before lunch!)...unacceptable substitution, especially when I paid extra money for extra asparagus AND I have gout.

Have not had a bad meal here yet! I am super picky, and have high standards. Service is good (more on the European style, IYKYK), and food is great! Has a parking lot in back, but that does fill up quickly, especially for weekend brunch. I bring my "City" friends here, and all leave quite pleased.

First timer here, this place is delicious! Finding a place that serves Loco Moco in Martinez felt like finding a diamond in the ruff. The French Toast was thick and flavorful. They also have tater tots.. I will most definitely return in the future.
