Thank you so much for my morning energy while I eat in Tulare this past week.

I just want to give a shoutout to Salles Cafe in Tulare. Every time I'm there, I see Joyce going…read moreabove and beyond--not just for her tables, but for everyone in the room. She's constantly checking on guests, helping wherever needed, and making sure people are taken care of, even when it's not for her own tip. That kind of work ethic and care really stands out. If you're in Tulare, it's definitely a place worth stopping by--not just for the food, but for the service too. I truly Enjoy Seeing Joyce With such a Great Attitude and smile

I stopped by The Runway Cafe with two friends as our first stop before spending the day at Sequoia…read moreNational Park. We visited on a Saturday morning and had to wait outside for about 10 minutes before a table opened up, which honestly made sense once we saw how busy the place was. The food ended up being exactly what I wanted before a long day of hiking. I ordered the Breakfast Bowl, which came with a half order of biscuits and gravy, one egg, and two sausage links. The portion was perfect for me since I don't like a huge breakfast, but it was still really filling and tasted great. The service was excellent. Our server was super kind and friendly to me and my friends, and the whole experience felt very welcoming. It had that small-town breakfast spot vibe where it feels like all the locals come to start their day, and even as visitors we felt right at home. The ambiance really adds to the charm. The dining area is a medium-sized room packed with as many tables and chairs as it can fit, and every seat was filled. It felt lively in the best way and showed how popular the place is. The restaurant is also located at a small airport, which makes the setting outside pretty cool and unique. Overall, the food and atmosphere were perfect for a breakfast stop. That one meal kept me fueled through our visit to Sequoia including an 8-mile hike, which honestly surprised me. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.

Food: the flavors are incredible! Omelets are fluffy and juicy, very easy to eat and it makes a…read moregreat combo with their salsa. The hash browns are crispy on the outside. Onion rings are fresh and the sweet taste linger within your mouth, but it's a bit greasy. Service: the staff is sweet and nice. One thing bothers us is that he check is handwritten and when we pay with credit card the amount didn't add up. They didn't mention any credit card fees which is weird. Ambiance: we searched online and found this place and the moment we arrived we understood why it's called "The Runway" as it is literally located next to an airplane runway and the interiors are amazing! Very detailed decor including the lights!

Up front: this is not a review of the food…read more My father, whose grandparents were Swedish Immigrants to New York, loves nothing more than making Swedish pancakes on Christmas. So, when we were walking down the street and I saw an 'I Love Swedish Pancakes' shirt, I knew I had to pick one up for him. When I walked in, it appeared that there was only one woman working the whole shop. As it was an early Friday morning, it seemed like it was manageable. She smiled and asked if she could help and when I mentioned the shirt, she immediately pointed over to a rack. I looked through and when I couldn't find my dad's size, I walked over & saw her manning the kitchen. I asked if by any chance they had any other sides in the back and she smiled & right away walked over to see what she could find. She did find the size I needed and I happily bought it. We had some small talk about why I wanted the shirt and it was just an overall lovely experience. Honestly, I wish we hadn't just eaten because I would've loved to try some of the pastries and food the offered. I guess I've got something to look forward to next time we're in the area.

There's a great variety on the menu and dining activities for almost every age. Games for use, like Monopoly, Scrabble, and Connect-4, sprinkled around the dining area. There is a play mobile trailer, and along the wall is bouldering or free rock climbing. We plan a return visit for the food, fun, service, and to try the funnel fries and dairy-free, fat-free smoothies.

I've been gate keeping this local gem for years. Reserved for weekend breakfasts and introducing…read morefriends and family from out of town. It's my go to for a good meal and great scenery. This restaurant is located within the local airport. So you get amazing views of aircraft land and taking off from the runway. Great entertainment for everyone, especially kiddos. From the moment you arrive, the staff are friendly and attentive. If you become a regular, the servers remember what specials you gravitate to, which only adds to its charm. Food is always consistent and I have yet to be disappointed. Whether having breakfast or lunch, it's always great! When available, I splurge for the steak and eggs special. Steak is thick, char grilled and cooked to your desired temp. The country potatoes are always crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, seasoned well. Adding bell peppers and onions adds to the experience. Eggs always cooked perfectly and toast soft yet crisp with plenty of butter. Highly recommend. The breakfast bowl is my wife's go to. A little bit of everything. Crispy country potatoes, sweet grilled onions, bell peppers, bite size sausage, bacon and plenty of cheddar cheese. Then topped with eggs cooked to your liking. I wish I could keep this place to myself but I can't. If you're ever in Porterville, give this place a try. You won't regret it.
