“Thank you for good service“

“Great food great atmosphere!“

“I have been coming here on and off for several years. This place has some really good honest family country food! I like a good pancake, egg, and bacon and Carlos a kitchen delivered. This is not a fancy place nor is it meant to be. I can be me and be surrounded by a welcoming atmosphere and the staff are having fun and I can tell they genuinely do enjoy working with each other. Great customer service. Carlos has been here for years and has always been there for his community. The food is very good!! The food is good here! I’m impressed at the standards over a decade of coming here.“

“The food was excellent. Fresh and delicious. The service too. I love the atmosphere. I wish you had a location in Napa!“

“I rate based on expectations. Classic diner menu, we tried the French burger, cheeseburger, fries and onion rings. French burger and rings were awesome. Portions are large and prices are better than average. The woman who helped us was a total sweetheart and very welcoming. Highly recommended for classic diner experience“

“I recommend their tasty burgers and sweet potato fries. Their homemade pickies are good too“

“I don't live in Santa Rosa any more, I haven't in ~20 years but I grew up there and EVERYONE knows Sam's! I was in town for the holidays and went there for lunch with a friend. The menu is enormous and while I was tempted by the all day breakfast, I landed on a French Dip sandwich that I had been craving. If you are anywhere in the area, stop by, you'll be glad you did!

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant - be sure to check out the staff's name tags! Reminded me of my first job working at Camp Wa-Tam. ;-)“

“Been waiting to go for months. Finally went and the food was absolutely amazing but we never where checked on. I just wanted a water and salsa and was looking the whole meal for an employee. made eye contact with our server and she ignored me 3 times, then brought our check and said you can pay whenever. not even how was the food. my husband had to get me my water as he fully finished his food while I was still trying to stall because I wanted salsa on my 25$ omelet. 😕“

“Eddie's kitchen, the food was excellent. I had chicken alfredo and a desert to die for. It was the chef favorite dessert. Eddie Jr. was very polite and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I love Eddie's kitchen. I will go there again if ever in Santa Rosa.“

“Ignore the rotten score on Facebook. This is one of the best breakfast places in Santa Rosa.“

“A classic cafe serving a breakfast staples, hot coffee, and the perfect amount of catchy décor. Good afternoon going to this location for quite some time. The food's always delicious, the eggs are always made perfectly, and the coffee's always good too.“

“Good food and very sweet service. If latte’s were on the menu that would be even better!!!“

“This is the best picture I’ve taken of a meal anywhere. The food was sooooo good that I couldn’t take a “before” picture, only an “after”. This was grilled avocado. I didn’t even know one could grill an avocado, nor did I know that an avocado could be improved on. Now I know. 😋“

“A fun spot to enjoy a casual lunch with family. It’s right next to the ice rink, so you can watch people skate while you eat, which makes it a really nice experience.

The food was great—good quality and reasonably priced. My kids loved it, and I definitely recommend for family with young kids!“

“Sick place good food good beer. Bartender are cool as f$&k great place to get some food and drank!“

“Cozy space with nicely appointed ambiance. Friendly staff. Excellent food on a varied and adventurous menu. The cheese curds are worth the trek. Great cocktails. Good happy hour menu. Lovey outside patio and well behaved dogs are welcome.“

“5 star review great service Madeline“

“Fantastic people who care about their customers, staff and food they provide“

“Great food at a great price! Delicious burgers, perfectly cooked and seasoned fries, and a great selection of milkshakes! I like the option to choose thick shakes, they are way better that way (and can last the drive till I get home to eat). Knocked off a star for being in a strip mall, but it is centrally located and if more upscale, it would command a higher price, which I am trying to avoid. All the kids working there are great, from the younger managers sweeping and cleaning up, to the counter folks looking to help and making delicious shakes- props to the owners for running a well oiled machine :)“

“Good food, great staff, highly recommended. This place is our go to for several instructors at the nearby SRJC fire academy.“

“Had a great experience here good service by Ricky . Our server was very friendly and removed us from a table with a flashing light which was very bothersome. Thanks Ricky for the great customer service we greatly appreciate it .Go Ricky 👏👍😁“

“great food and great service 👍“

“Happened to find this little gem cozy place.
Had an amazing blueberry scone and their avocado toast “with the works”. The scone was tender. The toast was an adventure in delightful fresh flavors. The place itself is decorated with interesting antiques and they sell lots of herbal drinks.
And the best part, no animals harmed to get this meal ! All plant based! Check it out.“

“Solid food and great people! Home made oven pizza and fresh pasta. Full bar and great choice wines. Must visit!!“

“great food nice ambiance very friendly service“

“Great place to grab a fresh bite for a great price. Staff is nice, very clean. I've had the mushroom pizza ( add extra mushrooms) surprisingly real good and have had thier eggs Benedict with potatoes added. Hot, fresh, yummy and for 13.00 total plus tax and tip. Totally worth it. They have great take home pasta meals for families. Thier hours are limited 9-11 breakfast 11-2 lunch m-f. I go in and do my banking at RCU and swing by to munch.“

“Great little pub with fun happy hour drinks + quality HH food for a sweet price. The service is awesome- ask for Talia, and the bartender Jessie makes a perfect old fashioned! The well bourbon they use for it is Buffalo Trace which is included on the HH price. YAY! The tacos are tasty and big enough to share. Add some guac and fries with their trio dipping sauces, you'll definitely be leaving happy and your wallet too!“

“Food is always delicious and great options. Service is usually right on top of everything for front of house. Cooks know their menu really well and I've never had any issues with the food.
The Cotati location is lovely, but the vibes in SR are cozy as well.“

“Easy to find parking, buffet style breakfast every Sunday--then mix it up with different types of stuff: waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, pastries & fruit etc...
(Kid-friendly place) Brunch -$10 for children and $20 per adult--all-you-can-eat!
That's a good deal ?
We dined in/ eggs benedict for me and for my husband he ordered corned beef hash.
And it was cooked perfectly.
came to the table lickety split.
This is really good food...
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
I will have to come back and try the buffet, maybe even Dinner.
Their dog friendly for service ?‍ ? animals“

“Shout out to Chris the manager who went out of his way to accommodate us. We are Hyatt members and thought we could use our club access awards. Unfortunately this particular restaurant is its own identity and therefore they don’t allow you to use the awards. Chris however made an exception and allowed us to use them. It was a very busy day with a bit of a wait but we were really taken care of in an amazing way. Thank you!“

“I came here for the first time and it was nice and quiet. I ordered a new beer that apparently just got tapped earlier that day. Nice atmosphere but I didn't check out the menu since I wasn't hungry. With a tip, two beers cost me $30. Pretty crazy..... The beer was good, but not worth the money. It's a bar though, it's how they make their money and I get it. Probably won't be back for a good while, I just can't afford $30 for two beers! I'm giving 5 stars because it is nice there and I did enjoy it there. Maybe next time I'll have my friend pay! Lol“
