Very friendly place and delicious food. ??

For the price, food was OK, service was so-so. Utensils are very cheap, must have been on sale at the Dollar Store.

Me and my girlfriend have ate here a lot and they're really good comfort food but the most recent time we went here the food was awful. Our pasta was just filled with oil and greece. Our steak was a small thin slice of meat and they took forever to refill our drinks or get plates out of our way. By the end of dinner I made a tower of plates and cups which was very disappointing. I'd say go here for lunch because the end shift sucks

We had breakfast at this restaurant this morning. Their bacon is the best in Modesto. They have less expensive specials daily and also give senior discounts. Their Florentine omelet is superb, and their Baja Fish tacos are to die for. We always split an order because it is large enough to split. They have homemade bread that they use for their French toast and it is delicious although a little hard to eat. Ask for a sharp knife. During Covid, we did not eat here because the employees did not wear masks. We always have breakfast here. Their Hobo Scramble is also very good.

Our waitress was very friendly and had great customer service. We brought my parents & sister here for an after church bite to eat. Great selection & even better tasting food! My hubby & I will definitely be coming back!

Wow! I knew the ice cream was amazing, but my whole family ate dinner here and the food was delicious as well. Lots of choices and everything was fresh and quick. Great service too! We will be back.

Service is always good.... food is usually good.... they have the best bacon I've ever had in my life... Cleanliness is good... Prices are fair considering the economy inflation.

We were a party of 11 counting the baby. A celebration of my son and daughter-in-law who got married earlier that day. The food came on time, was nice and hot, and the coffee was and didn't even need cream or sugar. I highly recommend this place.

You can absolutely rely on excellent food here. I haven't eaten every item, but I've taken friends and family there, gotten fabulous home style soups to go. and never had or seen anything but excellent choices cooked perfectly.When I told my husband how perfect my bacon was, he said he rated this place number one in the whole area.. beyond just Modesto.. . Number one bacon cooker! Maybe it's the bacon itself. They told me it's just regular store bought Sunnyside bacon cooked on the grill, but I've never seen such perfection.. not one iota of burnt or fatty.. just PERFECT bacon on burgers, breakfast plates, everything. And their sandwiches and burgers are fresh, generous ...I can't say enough. And when I'm there I notice there's always a good number of other diners there too. Fries and big crispy onion rings are popular and I know how great those are...you can get rich,ketchup,thousand,with them too.The ice cream is just a whole other reason to go there... Made right there with standard as well as fancy flavors. They will let you sample them too. The last two times I had egg nog, salted caramel banana, and strawberry... all excellent... Rich, creamy, smooth, the kind of thing that makes you return for more.And if you're handicapped like I am, there's a back exit right by the handicapped parking...very sweet!Even the staff is excellent... good looking, friendly, well versed on menu, me fast to get you seated and ready to order, they get the food to you hot, and they get the ice cream to you cold.They always remember me even after a long absence during worst covid scares And they play great old rock favorites (not too loud) in background.Always clean there including the restrooms. The prices are reasonable... In line with any other casual diner. The portions are just right... A bit large but not huge and priced just right too especially since many items are home made like the soups,ice cream,biscuits, specially fried chicken that's quite popular.yu can order things like eggs Benedict, meatloaf, variety of crab dishes, crispy cod, ...oh so yummy!I just really can't say enough. You don't have to get dressed up, but you eat like a king! I hope you'll try it because if you do, it will become a regular favorite spot.The big variety of food prepared like your favorite family member did it with no pressure to dress up.... everything served up hot or cold by people who treat you like family..add tall ice waters, lots of napkins and soft booths, just the right volume of actually perfect background music. I'd like to go there every freaking day!I'm sorry I didn't take photos. I couldn't wait to dig in!

I love this place. Great food and great service all the time. It never disappoints us. We usually come here for breakfast, but they also have a large lunch & dinner menu.
