    Homemade pancake
    chris m.

    Well in Santa Rosa I decided to try another breakfast spot. Glad I did. This place has the classic café look and parking was fairly easy. I sat at the bar with a great view of the kitchen. I kept it basic and ordered the pancake breakfast with bacon and eggs. The pancakes are made with a homemade recipe that is very delicious. Highly recommend. Bacon and eggs were just as I like them. The owner happened to be there and was very friendly but the star of the show was his staff as they all seem to be in a very good mood and the vibe there was what really gives this place five stars in my opinion. I'll definitely be coming back and trying some new delicious items

    Chicken, fried steak and eggs

    I was in town for a few days and I hadn't been here in years so I suggested it to my friend and we went for breakfast on Black Friday. The food was very good, although they put the gravy on top of my eggs instead of on top of my chicken fried steak, which confuses me. Our waitress was pretty scattered and forgot several things. Minus one star.

    The pancake was sooooo good!

    This little diner has some absolutely amazing food. My wife and I stopped by on a cold January Sunday morning. We were on a waitlist, but a worker asked us if we wanted to sit outside, we noticed they had heat lamps, so decided to take an outdoor table. Our waitress, who was super friendly and helpful, arrived at our table within a few minutes to take our order. After a couple of minutes of conversation our order arrived. I had a veggie omelette and my wife had the corned beef hash. Lets just say few words were spoken after our meals arrived. Everything was fantastic. Even the coffee was delicious. Located just a few minutes away from downtown Santa Rosa. This is the perfect place to go after a night of wine or beer tasting/drinking.

    Awesome food--check out the eggs Benedict! Waitresses are amazing and the food comes out fast! Great neighborhood place. The original Parkside.

    Chicken Biscuit

    We came here for breakfast on a weekday and they were moderately busy, mostly all locals who clearly eat there regularly. I say that because when people walked in, the server immediately brought coffee to their table and made conversation that indicated they were regulars... this is telling about a place, if the locals eat there on a regular basis, there's probably something good about the place. In this case, they offered so many great/appetizing items on the menu that it was tough to choose what to eat. I asked the server which was best from a few items that looked appetizing to me and she told me to go with the chicken biscuit... this was a great piece of advise, as that was a very tasty breakfast entrée! The hash browns that came with it were incredible too! The gravy on top of the biscuit was excellent... batter on the chicken was perfect too! My wife got the veggie bowl and she absolutely loved it. It definitely looked really good and was loaded with a nice assortment of veggies! Overall - Great breakfast was had here... Stop in and try it for yourself!

    I'm happy to see this place still here. It's been over 5 years since I've been. It's a small place, though they do have some outdoor tables. Limited menu, though diverse. I was seated immediately upon entering, and the waitress came by and acknowledged my presence. I appreciate that. I ordered the country benedict and it was very tasty. A fresh bread slice with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon and poached eggs with hollandais sauce, served with hashbrowns.

    Disclaimer first: They DON'T serve waffles daily (only occasionally). Aside from that initial disappointment (after seeing a photo of a delicious waffle on their page) we had a wonderful breakfast. The chilaquiles special is as delicious!!! We ate outside in the "bench" and the service was fantastic!

    I wanted a breakfast burrito, but did not want what was on the menu. I was told I could make a custom burrito...yum! The flavor was basic but yummy, I really liked the salsa on the side. It was very busy but we were seated quickly and served quickly. There were lots of dogs and I saw the owner passing out dog treats, so cute. There was also a water station that we helped outsell to as we waited. My only complaints are that there was nowhere to wait besides the parking lot and that the condiments and table were a little dusty. If you want a classic, casual place to go for American food, this is your place :)

    Is there outdoor seating and do you take reservations for brunch?

    There is covered outdoor seating but they do not take reservations. Worth any short wait you may encounter.

    Recommended breakfast dishes?

    I highly recommend the Smoke Salmon Hash, or Gompa's Pancake Breakfast. They also make an incredible chicken fried steak as well.

When stepping inside, you're greeted by a small area witha few tables, and the unmistakable scents of being inside an italian deli. We decided to split sandwiches to have a variety, so we got a special Spicy Cubano and a Tri Tip sandwich. First, I love a good Cubano, and this hit the spot, although the Pulled Pork was a little spicier than Id normally go for, but the flavor combo of the pork, ham, pickles was spot on and ratio'd nicely with the roll. The Tri-tip was also a flavor bomb, meat tender and flavorful, also with a good ratio to the roll . If I had one slight critique, I would have added a little salt to each. The chips, I believe they make on site, were a 10 outta 10, thin, light, crispy and seasoned perfectly. I would have bought a couple bags to go if it was an option. I did buy the frozen raviolis and marinara to go , to take home and make for the wife. It was simple to prepare, and while tasty, I didnt think it was significantly better in taste to justify the extra expense over some good quality ones that can be purchased at grocers closer to home. If you are in the area, and want a great deli sandwich to go, or even sit and eat, this place should be on your list to hit.

It's been 30 minutes" I was taken back and so confused ? I reiterate that I told who ever took my order, to please make it an order for 12:30 vs getting it ready right away since it was a heated sandwich and I didn't want it to be cold or soggy. Turns out, she understood to have it ready in 3 minutes. (Not sure how she understood that) anywho, after I clarified what I had said this manager or staff still doesn't 1. Apologize nor do they offer to remake my sandwich. I will slay I asked for her to add tomato upon arrival and that was about the only thing I can thank his staff for. I'm sure she saw it was soggy and cold for the $23 I paid. Not to mention my coworker, who got a portobello sandwich, once again the snarky manager emphasizes how she got a huge sandwich bug enough for two days (and it wasn't bc she ate it in one sitting). Anywho, overall not a good experience and we will NOT be returning.
