Bring your appetite because they have large portions here. Freshly made home style dishes. Only open 6am to 2pm, but burgers and sandwiches are also available. Family run, nice and homey atmosphere. All the basic stuff is good here- pancakes, biscuits and gravy, home fries, french toast, omelets and waffles. Although I'd suggest getting the fruit on the side for the waffles unless you don't mind yours being soaked to a pulpy mess. Two highlights here are their omelets and scrambles. The Ortega chile, cajun chicken, bacon and cheese, and the AM omelet are the best of the bunch. Not quite as tasty as Crazy Otto's, but AM gives them a good run for their money. The scrambles are pretty good and filling also. They range from the simple ones with just eggs, potatoes and cheese to more elaborate ones that include jalapenos, mushrooms, onions, chili, green peppers, sausage, bacon, ham and pretty much anything u can find in the kitchen thrown in. For the kids they also have over 20+ cold cereals to choose from. read more

My group stopped here on the way to a day trip in the Sierras. It's very cozy, the servers seemed to know all the customers by name. Our server did a little dance welcoming us to the restaurant. It's super kitschy with roosters EVERYWHERE. Prices are reasonable, especially since the portions are pretty substantial. I ordered the ham and cheese crepe, another had the bacon waffle (A+). They also serve something called jalapeño corn cakes which I hope to try one day! read more

This is for a very large order that I placed for an appreciation breakfast for everyone on my job site. Not many people were willing to take on my order or call me back but Mike provided me an excellent price for...525 breakfast burritos. Not only that but he delivered it to my site in Mojave, which is kind of in the middle of nowhere and I really appreciated that. I got a great variety of bacon, ham, sausage, chicken, machaha and a veggie option with egg whites. He delivered everything in coolers so it was all pretty warm and everyone loved the burritos, so thank you for making the appreciation breakfast a hit. I did eat here one time before for breakfast and enjoyed it, I don't get on here enough to review stuff as I should but I believe in supporting local businesses and I am very happy that I went with A.M. cafe for my large order. read more

Went to the Early Bird thrifting at American Way and needed a nice breakfast pick me up, and AM Cafe didn't disappoint!! I originally saw a coupon in the paper and figured we might as well try it while we could get a little discount. Plus, who doesn't love a good home cooked breakfast when your mom is nowhere to be found? Or unwilling to make a 21 year old adult breakfast, but I digress. Dutch apple French toast was out of this world and the apricot crepes were just as amazing! Got a side of hash browns but realized we never even need them!! Also love the "cheers" like feel of the place. We saw regulars strolling into their favorite booths and waitresses asking about their lives and getting the usual started for them, so cool! Glad a place like this is in the AV and well definitely be back to try more!! read more

A group of 10 had breakfast the morning after our class reunion!!! The BEST service, BEST food and the owner, Mike Axley came to our table. He also is an alumni of AVHS!!! This place is an absolute must!!!!! read more

I have been here alot of times we all have favs at a number of places like there whole menu for most part but the pancakes are the best ever you can ask anyone that had them no matter what kind you pick. Its the main reason i go there usually and most others i know. Great service and good food fantastic pancakes. read more

The food was prepared to perfection for its cost. The home potatoes were seasoned well, did not taste ordinary compared to your typical low cost breakfast joint. The carrot cake pancake is a must try. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. This place was great value and probably the best breakfast place in the AV. read more

Cozy place. Great atmosphere. Great food. The carrot cake pancakes were delicious! Def recommend.

Breakfast menu is a variety of deliciousness for any palette. A unique find in this area. I was so excited to try the rare breakfast fare I had to order 3 dishes. The corncakes with chili and cheese, peach cobbler pancakes, and not your grandmas pancakes. All dishes were Awesomeness that best breakfast EVER! read more

My favorite breakfast spot in the world! Every time I visit from the Bay Area, I ask to go here. Carrot cake pancakes are the best thing ever. read more

They're only open for breakfast and lunch. I've really only ordered breakfast there so that's what this review will primarily focus on. I'm a huge breakfast fan and will often eat breakfast food for lunch. That's what makes this place appealing to me. When you go, make sure to try their pancakes. They have like a dozen different types and they're all good but my favorite has to the be the banana walnut. Good prices, good portions and a very friendly staff. They used to be on Sierra Highway so make you're going to the new location on 10th St West, just south of Ave J. It's in a older shopping center so it looks kind of sketch from the outside. Don't let that stop you from trying a good local spot for breakfast. read more

Nice ambiance ( rooster haven ), service, and food. Service was prompt and courteous. Generous portions too!

Just had Breakfast with a friend at AM CAFE Food was very good and service was great 2 Meals and coffee just over $20.00 and there open today read more

We had breakfast here and if you're looking for a really good pancake, one that is not too bready- but fluffy and sooo good with a lot of different options like peach cobbler, chocolate one etc you need to come here! Fast service and clean as well read more

Came here while visiting Edwards AFB and I must say that I've enjoyed my breakfast here. Service was A+ awesome! The staff are very attentive and I never had to stare at the bottom of my coffee mug wondering if I'll ever get a refill. I ordered eggs Benedict and I've enjoyed it very much! Most places make theirs overly salty but I like how AM's wasn't and if I did want to make it saltier then I had the freedom to add more salt. I've also tried a bite of my friends' breakfast. I can't recall what they had but I remember liking theirs as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great service, food, and relaxing unique decor. read more

I love this place!!! The best breakfast I've found in the Antelope Valley (they make a mean steak & eggs)! Probably have breakfast there 30-35 weekends a year. Food is delish! Staff & owner pleasant, courteous and fun to converse with. They've recently expanded their outside dining area and taken multiple other steps to combat COVID-19 and ensure your safety. Give them a try; you'll go back again. Take-out/pick-up also available. read more

Great spot! It is my first time being here and it is great. Right away we were greeted and felt super comfortable. The whole place is well lit and very cozy. Our waitress was great. It took no time to get our coffee on the table. Now something my boyfriend is always complaining about is his coffee getting low and having to ask for more. Here we had coffee before our cups where even at the half way mark. The menu has plenty to offer and the food was delicious! This is going to be a place we visit often. read more

First time here. Hostess and waitress service was pleasant and prompt. As seen before in another review I didn't appreciate the check brought to our table in the middle of our meal. She wasn't going on break or anything. That didn't feel right and I suggest they change that immediately. Enjoyed a Sunday breakfast with my mother. She ordered the country fried steak meal and I the farmhand plate meal. Mine came with pancakes, home fries (or choice of hash browns), eggs, and sausage (or choice of bacon). Flavor of food was fine, I ordered the Chocolate chocolate chocolate pancakes which were AMAZING. I think was the best of the meal. My mother enjoyed her chicken steak but said the home fries could have been seasoned better. Overall it was an alright breakfast. read more

My husband and I go to a different cafe or diner local every week so far between crazy Otto and Jackie's cafe or even scramblez this place is a first and last time opportunity. As pictured both of our eggs Benedict where horrible the sauce was like it has been reconstituted the only good thing at this place would have to be the water and coffee because everything else was not up to par.. Now I can say this our waitress was lovely and offered to discount the meal. Although that wasnt what I wanted I would rather real cooks making menu items but owell def the last time hear... read more

My brother and I go here for lunch about 2 times a month. We love the waitresses they are AWESOME - super friendly and really good to the customers. We have never been disappointed with our food here!!! And I have tried almost all of there soups and they are all really really good. Affordable and Local!!!! If you haven't tried it - get over there!!! read more

Good food, large portions, ok service. The lady who served me for whatever reason could not remember that I asked her for more water and I had to keep asking her. I had the Spinach omelette and it was great. The buttermilk pancakes served with it were some of the best pancakes I've had in a long time, in my opinion better than iHop. I'd come here again for breakfast. read more

Love the food, the service and the atmosphere! The owners and staff are extremely personable and make you feel like family. We love coming here and have brought family in with us and they love it too! Their banana walnut pancakes are my absolute FAVORITE!! If only they were enough nutrition to live on lol!! read more

What a selection of pancakes! The best and the peach creation I had was yummy. Other people I went with had burgers and they enjoyed them also. Homestyle fries are yummy also. The person who ordered the omelet wasn't so thrilled. Service was casual and friendly. Enjoyed it and will go back again. It's not fancy. It's a diner with good food, prices and service. read more

Sooooo good!!! We were passing through on our way to LAX, and were looking for a breakfast spot. I honestly picked it because of the drool-inducing pictures of pancakes on here. I was not disappointed! I got the peach cobbler pancakes combo and my hubby got the veggie omelet. He absolutely raved about how fresh the veggies in his omelet tasted, and loved the home fries. My pancakes were insanely good! Just the right proportion of ingredients to taste like an actual peach cobbler, but you know you're still eating yummy, fluffy pancakes. On top of the delicious food, our service was wonderful. I didn't catch the server's name, but she was so friendly without being overbearing and annoying. All in all, an excellent breakfast experience. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough for sure. The outside and location can be deterring, but the interior is cute and cozy! The staff here is so kind and friendly. The menu has tons of options you can't go wrong. We always get the banana walnut French toast and split it with our table it's a must have. read more

I've been here 3 times and each time food is good and servers are always nice.The cafe is usually not full, but the food can take a while. The food is a lot cheaper than other diners and if you finish all your food apparently you get stickers. The amount of food you get is always a lot so I never ended up finishing all my food. read more

Great ambiance for a local diner. Food is fresh and tasty. Only deducted a star because the food could have used a bit more salt. Great service. Great coffee. Definitely recommend! Get the pumpkin walnut bread side, you won't regret it! read more

Had a fantastic experience. My waitress was AMAZING! I needed a quiet place to be alone and she gave me a booth that I felt was private and she was VERY attentive! I had french toast, bacon, eggs, hash browns and coffee and it was so good and reasonably priced. I will most definitely be going back again. read more

The BEST place to have breakfast (specifically their specialty breads 'French toast style')! Today we chose to come since neither of us worked and we were greeted with a special treat 'our favorite waitress Kathy' who we haven't seen in years! Come try them out...you will not be disappointed! read more

Great food, friendly and excellent staff and clean as a whistle! Menu offers tons of variety and everything i've had here is great. Happy to recommend. read more

Literally the nastiest omelet I've ever had. We went when it was quite busy but the wait time was absurd for what we received! Service was slow but the lady was nice. When we asked for 2 coffees and a juice we only received one coffee and had to remind the lady of the other. The omelet I ordered had cheese on top of it and it looked and smelled disgusting, I wanted it away from me as soon as I got it. Disappointed. read more
