*this is a breakfast rating* If you like home-made, country style food and dining, this place is it. It's very homey on the inside. The people were very welcoming and friendly. Prices are . Portions are . I'm very picky when it comes to breakfast but I tore my food up! [Corn beef hash, home fries, eggs & sourdough $8.99] Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is because I haven't had their dinner [yet]. read more

I have been going here for years, and the food and service never disappoints. My company (Central Exterminator) also provides monthly preventative pest control to make sure no bugs even touch foot in the kitchen for a second, so I'm always comfortable eating here! I definitely recommend asking about Tammy's Dessert options. She makes everything in the early mornings and they are always amazing. Definitely a great environment and I definitely recommend eating here! Also the food is pretty cheap! read more

Man as soon as I walked in I knew this was gonna be a tough one. Why? Well it's as local a restaurant as you could find, and plenty of those locals can be very touchy about the things they love. So I decided to take a pro's and Con's approach. Pro, when your driving to the Restaurant all you see is commercial buildings, and wherhouses, and then you see the Restaurant, really stands out! Con, wanna eat in the warm, proof of tryany required, otherwise, outside you filthy? I'm being slightly sarcastic, but I don't like it. Pro, beautiful waitresses, nod to the brunette with glasses! Con, decor, I don't mind the 1950's hunting lodge look, but torn apolstry, things like that, knock. Pro, service, servers are very good and attentive. Pro, and Con, food. Ordered the eggs Benedict. It was great. Hash browns good, but not much, no toast? Got there at 8:05, 4 other couples, walked out at 8:35, place was packed. Lots of people on first name basis, and that is real charm! read more

Bridgehead Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Antioch, California

I've been coming to bridgehead since I was little. The ambiance and the nostalgia, the way they made you feel at home and the little random trivia cards they had are definitely long gone. This was a place my dad and I would come to eat every weekend. Unfortunately the food and the service isn't what it used to be. Ate here this morning and was very disappointed. Food didn't taste the same, service was slow(especially being a Sunday morning) and the ambiance is completely different. They had Atleast two or three cooks in the kitchen yet we waited a long time for our food- which came out cold. Highly disappointing. Toast, hash browns, eggs, biscuits and gravy- all cold. Bacon wasn't cooked right and the linguica tasted undercooked. I wish they'd bring the original owner back- he was sincerely the best cook, owner, and community friend. Time to find another breakfast spot unfortunately. read more

Took my bf to breakfast for his bday and we were a little disappointed. Didn't really get any service from our server, and my eggs are never cooked to my request. The manager/owner was really nice though and they have really good hash browns, so it wasn't the worst place to eat. read more

We had never even heard of this place till I posted on Next Door looking for liver and onion recommendations. Several people suggested Bridgehead in Antioch. We ordered a grilled chicken salad, the Philly chicken salad, liver and onions, and appetizers. For pickup. It was like down home cooking. The Philly chicken sandwich was huge and a big hit for flavor. The liver and onions had a delicious gravy but the serving was smaller than I expected, or it was good and I was hungry. Loved the staff. We will go back. read more

Outdoor seating was available! It's so nice to get back to a little bit of normal! Our family loves Murray's breakfasts and lunch's. There are always killer specials to choose from in addition to the regular menu, cobbler-yummmm!! We had BBQ bacon cheeseburgers this time... Support your local business! Always friendly service and delicious fresh food! read more

Since we have been eating at the Bridgehead Cafe for years, and always happy with the service and food, I was very disappointed with what occurred yesterday. My fiancé and I decided to eat there for breakfast. Since he is disabled and uses a scooter it was easier for us to eat outside in the new patio than try and go inside. We arrived and found a table, realized we should probably let someone inside know we were there.I went inside and encountered a young girl with red hair and let her know we were outside. She seemed agitated and said I'll be outside in a minute in a very rude tone. I said "okay" and then asked if I could have a menu to look at in the interim. Her response even more rude was "No, I said I'll be out there in a minute". I was taken back, went outside and we left. We are in our seventies and did not appreciate being spoken to in such a manner. There are lots of restaurants we can spend our money at and I guarantee it will not be The Bridgehead Cafe. So sad, since when Murray owned the cafe it was always a pleasant experience. read more

PLEASE GO EAT HERE FOR BREAKFAST!! Stop doing to Denny's (especially the one in Antioch, no thanks!) or eating McDonalds. This place has cornered the market for diner breakfast in Antioch. I recommend old faithful pancakes or french toast. The french toast is Texas style, thick slices and so delicious. The offer flavors or sugar free syrup, and their orange juice is fresh. Imagine that!! I've actually only eaten lunch/dinner food there once, and I had a hamburger. It was delicious. My only complaint was the pickles were gross, and I am a huge pickle fan. But not many restaurants take the time to cut fresh pickles, so I don't hold it against them. Anything breakfast has been so great, and even they're coffee is so good! If you get sausage, I recommend the links, not patties. Omlettes are great, bacon is great, and the staff is awesome. It's the same owners since like 1976, a family, and they love what they do. And it shows. Please eat there next time you want some yummy breakfast. Their prices are reasonable and the food is worth it. Go! read more

As we pulled in to the parking lot i noticed the cafe is next to a cemetery? Not sure how i felt about it. Okee dookee. we had their breakfast. i had eggs, bacon and toast with potato with the skin on it, cant recall the name for it, but the potato with skin on was good, my first. The kids and hubby also enjoyed their meals. The kids were entertained by all the decor on the walls, old farming tools I believe. We saw a sign on the wall stating they have the best fried chicken in town or to that reference. We agreed to come back again next time to try their fried chicken. Our waiter was great, our food was yuuummm. read more

Hands down, one of my most favorite breakfast joints! It's usually petty busy, but there's hardly ever a wait that's too long. For the most part I feel like service is quick- especially if you get one of the older waitresses, they're on it! Coffee is always refilled often, whether is be from your server or the owner who walks around chatting with people. Orange juice tastes fresh... although the oj to me is a tad pricey w/no refills. And my favorite part? THE FOOD! Everything I've had... And I do believe I've tried just about everything... Has been great! I've been getting the $4.99 breakfast special often and is more than enough meal for a great price! Their biscuits and gravy, as well as country scramble are also some of my go-to choices. I'll have to go I sometimes to try dinner, breakfast is already such a hit read more

Bridgehead Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Antioch, California

This small diner has a lot of charm stemming from both the cute old timey interior, to the super friendly staff who sound like best friends as well as co-workers. The staff is definitely a huge part of what makes this place. Kim was our waitress and she was AWESOME. Within a minute of seating us she was taking our order. Her personality is just phenomenal. All the servers have a friendly, happy vibe. The food could have been better however. I ordered my burger rare and it came out well done. They also need to work on seasoning. My burger tasted like ground beef and that was all. I love that the burgers are obviously made in house, just use some salt and pepper please. Overall a really awesome place and I can imagine its a favorite among locals. read more

We have our favorite spot in Brentwood, but I wanted to try out a different place for breakfast. I figure the small local dives that have been around are usually a good bet. Per a yelp reviewer, they suggested we arrive before 9am, which was perfect. Only 2 other tables were taken on a Sunday morning. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was homey. I ordered the biscuits and gravy meal, which came with scrambled eggs, choice of meat (bacon), and I opted for the home fries. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't outstanding either. Don't get me wrong, nothing is wrong with this place. I'd probably go back and try out a lunch or dinner item. But I just wasn't impressed with my current food choice. read more

Pros: Good food with very reasonable prices. What needs to change is a management issue regarding the delivery of ordered food to the customer. The food is cooked, ready to go to customer but it just sits on the counter getting cold. Wife and I were there today and saw three customer orders get sent back to get reheated. We also waited 28 minutes for our orders to arrive at our table. Regardless of reasons, a change needs to be made as there was enough staff to deliver to customers in a timely fashion. I saw an employee only busing tables and/or delivering coffee. All should multi task to get the orders to the customers as quickly as possible. read more

Been going to Bridgehead for years and prefer them for breakfast. The few lunches i've had are marginal. Some picnic tables out front. Entertainment coupon good for $8.00 value, buy one get one free. Eggs Benedict $9.29 includes hashbrowns or home fries and toast. The Hollandaise sauce has more butter than I prefer and it doesn't have enough lemon zing. Tastes heavy and gets a bit sickening. They did poach the eggs well though. 2.5 stars. Biscuits and gravy portions are huge. Not any sausage chunks in it and tastes pretty bland. Full order is $3.79 or half order for $3.19. 3 stars Hashbrowns are a bit on the greasy side, comparable to IHOP's hashbrowns. Ham is the processed kind that is generally a bit dried since they usually overcook it a bit. Had breakfast today (sunday morning) parking lot was packed, only 3 people serving so it was pretty slow. Booths are small if you have to sit next to someone then when you're eating you have to tuck your elbows in. Coffee is $1.79 and water tastes slightly funny, not sure if it's the water or the ice cubes... This wouldn't be my first choice for breakfast if I had to pay full price, but with the coupon at least one meal is free, thus the bump up to 3 stars overall. read more

I have been addicted to this place lately. I decided to finally try this restaurant summer of 2013 and I have been addicted. I have tried almost everything on the breakfast menu and i am always more than satisfied with the food and service. If you are in and ask if you want country potatoes or hash brown try the Freddy Fries ( it is almost like country potatoes but they are cooked differently. And try the blueberry waffle, I usually eat this as my dessert or if I Craving something sweet read more

Now I feel like a local. I've lived in Antioch for about 6 years now and finally found a good local breakfast diner. The food is delicious, the service is incredible and the ambience is perfect on a Saturday morning. Very old school diner feel, which my whole family loves. There is something to be said about a place whose owner is serving food and going around the restaurant freshening up coffee cups. Yes, it's more expensive than IHOP, but you also get more quality food. The portions are massive and everything tastes homemade . We had the pancakes, biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, and breakfast burrito. We had enough left over to share for a late lunch. We loved it and the kids did too. We have to go back and try the fried chicken! read more

I've been to the Bridgehead Cafe a few times for breakfast. The food is good, and the service is consistently very good. The workers are very friendly and go the extra mile to be pleasant, but in a genuine way. It's a fairly small place, which I enjoy. read more

Lived within 1 mile of the place for YEARS, and have never eaten at Bridgehead Cafe until today! Great little greasy spoon diner with really friendly staff and a good stock of traditional breakfast dishes that will leave you full and make you skip lunch. We had the biscuits drowned in delicious gravy with perfectly done hash browns. This place was really busy on a Sunday morning, but the service was quick, the food rich and tasty, and the patrons down-to-earth. The decor is barn meets 70's den, but you're there to eat, not to impress with your taste for swanky hipster joints. We will be back! read more

Bridgehead Cafe - Pic by Cheryl Rojas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Antioch, California

Fun lunch at the Bridgehead Cafe. We sat outside where they have large green picnic tables (we had our pups with us). Server was friendly and gave us recommendations - I had the Texas French toast, eggs and linguica - they're linguica is delicious. Slightly spicy and chewy! My husband had the patty melt. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. Our server was friendly and good, and the pups happily petted. Definitely a place to come back to (and if I'm hungry enough) and try one of their weekend all-you- can eat meals! read more

After years of being a great spot with home cooking this place can no longer claim a good reputation. Food was cold, order was wrong, servers were friendly and apologetic but that wasn't enough to make up for the excessive wait and wrong order. I ordered corned beef hash and was served a hamburger Patty scrambled with a little bit of hash browns and got told that was corned beef - come on, not even close!!! Decor is dated, dirty and dark - buy some light bulbs!!! Adios Bridgehead. read more

My favorite breakfast spot especially when I'm hungover lol!!! Everyone is friendly and nice every time and the food is delicious:) corned beef and hash and linguica + eggs are my go to orders. Heather is my fav server here, she is super sweet and I really love her personality! The Only thing possible that could make this place better is if they served mimosas or bloody marys ;) hahaha read more

Very disappointed with the service. With a all u can eat it was like placing my order when I first gor there. Now the liver was pretty tasty just the service I received was poor. I asked for napkins several times close to end and still never received them. I believe on a Friday especially, they should have more than two servers and one cook. It's a lot when u have a all u can eat. Sorry just not satisfied with the service I received. read more
