First time here and will probably not go back. I ordered the chowder and it had absolutely 0 flavor and it had CORN in it ?!
My husband had country gravy and it tasted the same as the chowder, bland, no flavor and not at all appetizing.

Waited an hour before we even ordered. Terrible service. Then waited another hour to get our food. I wouldn’t come back

Service was bad, food was super basic we went for breakfast was not at all impressed. Looked like they had 5 or more servers for this small place but could not get anything in a timely manner. Our server spent most of her time behind the counter staring at everyone instead of maker her rounds. First and last time visiting.

We stopped in here after a detour from Blackbear Turlock and were greeted right away with a smile. I really like the seat-yourself setup- super convenient. Service was quick and the whole staff seemed upbeat and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I usually go to the Ceres location since it's closer to me (and just as good), but whenever I'm in Turlock, I'll definitely be coming back
for a bite

Nice diner right of the 99. Went for breakfast, service was good. Waitresses were friendly and very attentive even with a full dining room. Food was fast and just as we ordered it. The omelets are absolutely huge and well balanced. I loved their spicy salsa with mine. It has an old time diner feel with the music and decor. They have a bar and a large amount of table seating. Open parking lot and nice patio outdoors as well. Overall a nice spot for an American breakfast.

I was with my family going out to brunch this morning (7/15/25) and we decided to go to this establishment. We were seated in the back booth and as we were sitting down a big RAT ran out between my legs into the kitchen. We immediately walked out of the restaurant. We should have known to turn around with seeing all the rat traps in the back. A RAT IN THE BUILDING IS A HUGE NO FOR ME!

There's hardly any places like this in the valley anymore. From the staff to the cooks and the owner is what makes this place so special! The food is a double plus and the decor keeps you entertained and something to talk about it. ❤️
