Food is good, service has suffered over time. The manager needs to motivate servers to focus on the customer and not give the feeling "customers are lucky to be waited on". We understand the impact of COVID but it is time to function as a restaurant focused on quality and service. read more

Thought we'd try again today. Female server working today at around 10:00, short, olive complexion, dark hair, was rude and had an attitude problem while taking my order. Perhaps she woke up on the wrong side of the bed but don't take it out on customers. Walked out and went across the parking lot to Esmeralda for breakfast. Esmeralda employees are ALWAYS warm, welcoming, and genuine. Bottom line- food here is ok, a little better than Denny's but service sucks! read more

This place was right next to my parent in laws house, easy to find and seemed to have good reviews so we figured we would have breakfast before hitting the road back home. It was on a side of a building that I didn't even realize a business was there! It's small and quaint, we went around 7ish or so and they were not too busy yet and had a wide variety of options for breakfast. The orange juice was given to me in a big glass, which is unheard of for a breakfast place, so that was great! I got the biscuits and gravy plate and my little one and I went to town, it was soo good!! You never know how the sauce will be but his one was seasoned just perfect and we had lots of leftovers. I didn't know this was here and will sure come back the next time we are in town. Service was great, big portions and quick delivery, which when you have a toddler is important. read more

First time at this location, excellent service, food and atmosphere, will definitely be back

So good! First time here today for breakfast it was great!! The service was great the atmosphere was amazing. They are open for breakfast and lunch defiantly want to come back and try out their lunch. They have a huge menu of items to choose from. read more

The food is good, servings are large. I come here with my sister whenever I'm in town. We have always loved this place. The 3 stars are not because of food or service. When I went to the counter to pay, I noticed a 15% gratuity already on my bill. Now, that is a shame. I tip way more than 15%, usually 25 or 30% if everything is good. Since a gratuity was added automatically, the server is the loser here. Automatic gratuities are BS especially for a party of 2. I will find another breakfast spot to spend my money in. read more

The servers are attentive and very kind. Their food is delicious! My favorite is the pigs in a blanket (crepes and breakfast sausage)

Never again! No idea how they got 4 stars. Overwhelmed rude staff who don't care. Waited an hour for our food even though people who came in after us received their food and left before we got ours. And we didn't get the whole order... only half. Had to wait another 15 minutes for the rest. Staff avoids the tables, have to call out to get anyone to stop. Watched other customers have to get up to get their own utensils because the waitresses were never around. Of course their excuse is being short handed but that's bull. As for the food. BLAH! Hash browns were basically mashed potatoes. Gravy is 100% from a can. Chef salad was American cheese slices and cheap cold cuts laid on top of lettuce. Seriously? read more

Some friends recommended this place as an alternative to the breakfast place we normally go to. I'm not sure if there hours of operation are set in stone or just whenever they feel like opening up. My wife and I arrived a few minutes before there posted 5:30a.m opening time and barely a light on in the establishment. I would think an opening time of that early, someone would be prepping, but even by 5:45 nothing.... Let's be honest. If you post a time, then honor that time or change it to reality. Barring a family emergency or catastrofic event, then I can understand, but with the economy being what it is, you should make an effort to stand by potential long-term new customers in the future and open when posted. read more

Went here for Mother's Day Because the reviews for this place was good and we wanted to try something new. This place was really packed. And that had to mean something. Our waitress was super sweet. Even though she was busy she did not rush us to order one bit. I have a family of five and we were all indecisive because everything just looked yummy. But After our order was taken, it took about 10-15 min for our entrees to come out. The food was good. We all ordered something different from each other so we were able to taste each others entrees. The only reason why I am giving this place 4 stars is because my husbands entree came with pancakes and toast, which he never got. So i was a little bummed about that. This place is a bit compact, so the tables are close in proximity to each other and theres not that much walking room. Other than that I would give this place a try again. Maybe when its not a holiday lol read more

Great food, very friendly crew. So far, best breakfast in town. I have been a loyal customer for many years. They are the best.

This is great for a classic breakfast or brunch. I love the California omelet with bacon and avocado. The Pumpkin pancake is the best pancake I've ever had...WOW. The menu is huge, many options for breakfast or lunch. Love the outdoor patio. Staff is so friendly and they always provide great service. read more

Very disapointed in the Eggs Benadick. Never had it served on a very soggy muffin. Sause was bland . Ham was not much better The service is the only thing that was good read more

Came in at 11:00 am on Sunday, and it's over a half hour and just got breakfast at 11:34. We didn't have our order taken till almost 15 mins later. We received coffee within 5 mins of sitting down, but having to wait 15 mins to have your order taken is ridiculous. It was busy, but 3 tables had finished and were leaving. And all the other tables had rec their orders. There was one big table outside, but with the holidays here, ramp up so your customers arent waiting. read more

Very good food. Great prices. Great service. We eat here often and always have consistent experiences.

No covid protocols whatsoever. Very crowded. No masks on staff. Ridiculed and humiliated by staff and nearby patrons even for mentioning the lack of covid awareness. Couldn't leave fast enough. read more

Probably 2.5 stars but rounded up because the staff was all really nice. Came on a Saturday morning as our son had baseball in this town. They messed up most of our orders. The lettuce on my sons chicken sandwich was wilted and brown. My burger had no dressing at all I needed to ask for some condiments. The fries were frozen not fresh, the onion rings overdone. My pickle appeared to have a bite out of it and was an unnatural color. Was hoping for better. The saving grace was they were very nice but we wont be back. My son called it and said " we should have gone to Sonic" read more

Food was delicious. Had strawberry lemonade, steak sandwich, veggie quesadilla and pancakes. Only minus was no Apple Pay. read more

When we got there, the sign said "Sorry we're closed." We walked in anyway because there were people inside eating. They took a while to serve us and when they finally did, they only gave us enough silverware for half of the party. I ordered a crepe which is supposed to be a very thin, sometimes even crispy pancake...the one here is more like a regular extra large pancake that was rolled up and filled with pudding. The pudding was way too sweet and the "crepe" itself was topped with extra sweet, warm cinnamon apples. I could not eat this at all. Luckily I ordered a side of hash browns that were ok. read more

Good food and fast service. Small town charm. Great value for your money. Close to highway with easy on/off.

Went in to order breakfast to go and the restaurant was packed with way to many people and none had masks. Left without ordering as to many people and terrible ventilation and should not be seating indoors. read more

We have been going here for breakfast for over a year now. Food has always been good, but service has gone downhill. Started out great, lately no follow up with coffee etc. Today I saw our food sitting on the shelf for over 15 minutes, also saw one waitress sit at the counter to eat, while our food and others sat waiting to be served! Looking for a new place! read more

Great place great food killer customer service never a bad meal here they have outdoor seating if you want to come down and enjoy a good breakfast read more

3rd time is the charm. Our first visit the food was good but the service was just OK. 2nd visit we left because we were waiting for a booth for 20 minutes then the waitress gave the booth to another party that just walked in. Today we were seated quickly and received drinks quickly as well. The place was about half full. Then about 5 parties came in and 3 of their food orders were taken before our's. We did not give them a chance informed the wait staff we were leaving and why and the excuse was we are short staffed. If you are short staffed the wait is extended not taking orders of people who have been there for 5 minutes before people that have been seated for 20. DO NOT GO HERE !!!! read more

I mean it's alright... the only good thing is there mimosas lol. Takes a long time and good is just soggy..

Noooooooo no no no no no no no...they put a black olive on their Eggs Benny...Need I say more? The Portuguese Skillet is an insult to both Portuguese people and skillet dishes. Staff is nice which makes this hard to say but not really cause the food is C tier. read more

I'll give it three stars because it's a good place to go after a hangover lol. But normally when we go we always get good service, super nice younger lady etc. this time and the time prior to that there is a lady in there she might be in her 30s. But she is so rude and when she talks it's so condescending it's ridiculous. She made me feel super belittled when ordering. Also she didn't put my husband order of pancakes until we were ready to go which was upsetting. But won't go there again due to her service. read more

Really good food and the service was good also but be careful the menu prices do not match the bill which ends up being higher with no explanation while everything else was awesome I think The menu prices should actually match the bill As a fellow business owner I cannot see how this can be good as my prices are clearly marked and that is exactly what you pay read more

Have had a couple people tell me this place is great for breakfast but I'm afraid my first try was a disappointment. My mistake was ordering the chicken fried steak. Their idea is a thin breaded piece chicken (probably frozen), tossed in a deep fryer, and cooked until it is nearly as dry as jerky. These people do not know what chicken fried steak could be. The eggs and potatoes were OK but nothing here stood out. Staff is very nice and the place is comfortable but they need to work on the food. There are some very good breakfast places in the area and the food will have to improve if they want to keep people coming back. read more

Service: Servers are not attentive, took 15 minutes to place our orders. The restaurant itself wasn't particularly busy. The server cut off my girlfriend when she was about to ask for an orange juice Food: Okay. Could have the same type of freezer stuff at ihop. read more

We have been longtime customers of the country skillet restaurant in Ripon, California. We hadn't been in a while because we moved away. We specifically made sure to eat here when we were in town. What a change. The prices have gone up, which we understand, but they also increased the senior citizen age. Our food was subpar. No seasoning in the burger at all and my breakfast was a very bland. read more

I'm literally reviewing to offset the one star review someone face you for not having Covid restrictions in place. You guys are a nice establishment. You got hit hard. Sure appreciate what you do for our community. read more

Haven't been here since the grand opening The food was much better but your sour dough toast is so dry Now your service the girl serving coffee was great but the other one not much of a personality read more

Excellent food , our server Jasmine was charming, friendly, and while very busy and short handed , made our experience excellent. The breakfast food was delicious. Highly Recommend read more

Great breakfast spot especially for a hangover. I also love the group Of older folks that meet up there at 5am. They have that place packed sometimes it tells me it's a good vibe and good service all hours of the day. read more

Tried this place out because of the reviews and I have to agree...breakfast was delicious. The staff was friendly and the deco is country charm. The food tasted homemade. Loved it and will definitely be back to my new favorite breakfast spot. Forgot to mention great prices! read more

I've been to the Ripon location and the Manteca location, and I must say that this area has definitely stepped up on their brunch game. I've tried quite a few different things on the menu, and the french toast has to be my favorite! The interior in the Ripon location is very cute with the trees that match the fields outside. read more

Decided to check this place out today for the first time. Went alone and sat at the bar, very clean inside and the bar was nice to sit at because there is a TV there as well. Staff was very friendly and did an excellent job. I had the Denver omelet, it was really good no complaints at all. I would have to suggest staying open all day, they will be more successful and reach more people, good spot though......2nd trip back this morning, food was even better and service still top notch...thank you read more
