Monte Cristo with fruit cup
Lacey L.

My dad, who rarely ever eats breakfast, woke up this morning with a hankerin for Charlie's. Its one of his favorite places. Good home cookin, great service. Seriously great service. We're not regulars, but they do have them, and the know them all by name. The Monte Cristo was really good. Came with a choice of fruit or hash browns or country potatoes. Not too thrilled with the freshness of the fruit cup tho, the apples were a little dried out and the skins were left on everything-even the pineapple. My dad had the country fried steak and hash browns. He was either really hungry or just really excited to eat out because he finished his entire plate! That rarely ever happens. Their coffee was some of the best I've had at a diner in a really long time. Bold, but not bitter. Two thumbs up there. Minus one star for the skins on the fruit and the massive lack of handicapped parking out front, even tho it would be filled 100% of the time with this crowd, it would still be nice to have.

Biscuits n gravy
Janiah S.

First time here. My step father comes here almost daily and has always raved about it. I was in the area and decided to pop in on a Sunday about 11:30 am. We were warmly greeted immediately. I got a mocha and then they kept it warm by topping off with coffee often! I had the French toast combo and hubby had the sausage patty w 3 eggs combo cake with potatoes and he opted for the biscuit and gravy. First off, I think the sausage and bacon was about the best of any breakfast place around! And the French toast was on point too! Eggs were cooked well (medium). We learned that they make their sausage patty in house. It had a good char on it and great flavor. We loved how they make their potatoes slicing them the long way, it made for the perfect potatoey taste along with crisp on outside. Had grilled onion and bell pepper on top too. Over all, we were very pleased with everything from the warm service to the great home style cookin! We will Definitely be back! On the way out we noticed these GIANT cinnamon rolls too, we will try one next time.

A nice place. It was very busy, but as always, I edited out the people for their privacy.

Drove out from Rancho to try this place, and it was worth the drive. It's obviously a popular spot, because even at 9 AM on a Sunday morning, it was very busy. I Walked in, and I was seated immediately. The place is like a little country café, with checkerboard tablecloths. Everything was clean, and everybody was friendly. They took my coffee order right away. The coffee was good, and they kept my cup full. I decided to go with the roast beef omelette. Roast, beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, spinach, and cheese. I asked my server if she could replace the bell peppers with mushrooms, and she said no. How hard is it to swap one veggie for another? I know it's not because it's pre-mixed, because she did have them take off the bell pepper.. And yet, she let me substitute my potatoes for fruit. One small glitch, not worth taking off a star over. The omelette came, and it was big! The roast beef was tender and seasoned very well. It had just the right amount of cheese, and the veggies were very good. I got a very nice bowl of fruit, and I could've had biscuits and gravy, but I just chose the biscuit. Light and fluffy. A fantastic meal at a decent price. If you get a chance, check out the flag in the back of the restaurant near the restrooms. It's in honor of a marine who served in Afghanistan. Very special, indeed. A great breakfast. I would come back. Thank you

Battlefield Benedict
Vanessa V.

First timers! Great experience. We arrived right before 10am and there was a little bit of a wait (as expected). We were seated as quickly as a booth opened up and the staff was extremely quick and friendly (and let me tell you, the place was busy)! The food was yummy and definitely homemade. My mom kept commenting on the country potatoes (pictured on both plates) because they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I had the Battlefield Benedict and it was was flavorful. It was packed with bacon, avocado and spinach. Very filling. My mom had the Kitchen Sink Omelette and she enjoyed it a lot. It was huge (she took some to go). We will definitely visit again when we are in the area. I appreciated that they had a Christmas tree up already.

The food is excellent. The waitress very attentive. Prices fair. Portions large. Exactly as ordered. Locations looks worse than the cafe. This is a great place to eat.

Let me start by first acknowledging how attentive our waitress was as well as the rest of the staff. We almost had everything without even having to speak. They were on top of it. Bravo for that. The location is very unsuspecting and kind of hidden... I almost didn't think this restaurant was in this plaza because how could it be? Well it is. It's clean and very cozy. The retro game at the front you can play while you wait is a fun touch!! And last but definitely not least... THE FOOD! So delicious. Just thinking about my plate is making my mouth water. The homestyle potatoes were like the traditional homestyle version and a potato wedge had a baby. I sort of fell back as I took a bite, surprised that this potato is among the best I've had in quite some time. This place is a pleasure and I will be back. Next time... waffles!!

Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center lies this gem of a cafe!…read more I met up with a friend for brunch and brought our babies along. There was lots of parking right in front of the restaurant that made getting inside super convenient. There was plenty of room for us to sit at a large table with our babies in high chairs & strollers nearby. Inside the cafe is decorated very nicely. The staff were so kind and welcoming too. I ordered a mocha and the sweet cheese crepes. My mocha was the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolatey! I savored every sip. The real star of the show though, were the crepes. They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes. Overall the ambiance, food, and accessibility make this a great spot for brunch! Will definitely be coming back.

This place has vibes for days! The decor leans heavily into the green plant aesthetic. The outdoor…read moreeating area is very inviting with market lighting and plentiful plant life. There is also a side area to eat, however there were a number of flies buzzing around, which made it unappetizing (this was kept my review from being a full five stars). The indoor area is a mix of dark woods and faux plants, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. As for the food, there was only one plant-based (vegan friendly) option for me: the cilantro lime avocado toast. This came topped with micro greens and pickled onions, and with a side of potatoes. The portions were very generous for the price and the food was delicious. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and the staff were kind. I also ordered an Americano that was good. This spot is like a little hidden green jewel in Citrus Heights. I hope more businesses fill out this complex so they can continue to do well.

Dear Four Sisters Cafe Team, My family and I were recently…read moreworking in Roseville on a theater, and discovered your cafe. We had a wonderful experience; the food was delicious, particularly the homemade biscuits and amazing pancakes. We truly appreciated the warm welcome and the opportunity to speak with one of the sisters. It was a heartfelt conversation, and it is clear that your establishment is run with a lot of love. To anyone looking for a really good place to eat, look no more. If we are ever in the area again that is our go to place. 5 stars isn't enough to rate this place. PS. Lisa we will remember you forever.

I went today to Four Sisters around 2 PM and it seemed like it wasn't bustling with people around…read morethat time, so I was able to be seated quickly. During that time, they served me a glass of water and I quickly ordered the BBQ Chicken sandwich - I had looked at the menu earlier - with a side of fruit. The sandwich was really great! They served the sandwich with the grilled, chicken breast, bacon, and BBQ sauce with the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on the side. I'm not a fan of onions, so I did not have those, but it was nice to have the lettuce and the tomatoes have that nice taste when it hasn't been smothered in BBQ sauce or others as it's being cooked by the chicken like other places prepare them. I honestly left satisfied. This place really did live up to the recommendations and reputation it has. Our gym, Positive Impact Fitness always talks about this place and it was really worth it. I shall return in due time.

Honestly don't have any complaints it's a traditional American breakfast spot all the basic options…read moreI just don't see how they don't have hash browns what kind of breakfast spot does not have hash browns?? Pancakes were fluffy and large the portions with everything were actually huge we couldn't finish our food. Good customer service too! I wish the place seemed a little more inviting, it seems cold (not literally) the carpet remind me of an old school office everything is so open I don't know it lacks coziness

Breakfast of corned beef hash, 2 eggs and biscuit. Drank coffee…read more Plenty of food. Unfortunately not very satisfying. Biscuit particularly not good as it was doughy, wet , chewy and tasted of too much baking powder. I did like the big chunks of meat. The country potatoes were typical diner quality, but I just don't like country style breakfast potatoes. No substitution offered. Server was efficient if a bit rough around the edges. I sat at the counter. She made sure that I had everything I needed. That's okay, I'm happy enough, don't need a smile from some one who's bringing me food. Oh, yeah just like my old sourpuss mother. Now the value for the dollar issue... The breakfast was $22, the unremarkable coffee was $4.50. After tax and a $5 tip I was out the door for $33. I recently had a wwwwaaaayyy more satisfying breakfast at Mario's Early Toast for half that price. Hot off the griddle is a big improvement over a Denny's. But that's a pretty low bar for judgement. Sorry, no return for me.
