Came to pick up food I paid 18.46$ For a bagel with fries and a coffee. This is way to expensive. Maybe 12$ but 18 definitely way to overpriced. read more

Homemade tuna with celery on sweet wheat bread and the vegetable beef was worth coming back in itself. Amazing!!! Tons of flavor and packed with fresh veggies potatoes and roast beef.

Firehouse Cafe - Chili and cheese omelette and 1/2 tuna sandwich w/ veggie + beef soup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Simi Valley, California

We tried this place for breakfast today it was pretty bad. Don't like to complain but who likes cold pancakes or food. Tastes like crap and water tastes dirty. Disgusting! Just weird vibe in this place. Too outdated and feels unwelcoming. I dont recommend eating here. Unfortunately Simi has pretty low standards on restaurants or service and this dump is in the top 5 of the worse. read more

This is the second try for me here breakfast with a friend of mine it thought the first experience was maybe just a bad day but today was worse than the last rude service coffee ? Well that's what they called it was like dirty dish water and we where not the only people that complained about that today but it was pretty bad not drinkable anyway the food wasn't the issue it came out ok it was the experience as a whole that was more the issue asking for condiments never to have them come back with them after food was dropped off we might as well have taken it to go because we never saw the waitress until she wanted to get paid some 25 min later I had to go get our condiments from another table myself and ask for a glass of water from a person behind the counter strike two so not looking for the 3rd strike I think I'll call it an easy out Thanks good luck read more

The staff is great, super friendly and welcoming. Parking lot is really small, so if it's busy you have to find parking near by or across the street. Pricing is decent, depending on what you order. The food is just your typical diner food, nothing special. Most of the time, your food comes to you hot.. unless they are super busy and waiting for your whole tables food, then it will be semi warm when you go to bite in. read more

Firehouse Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Simi Valley, California

After getting up at o'dark thirty to participate in a yard sale, we were ready for breakfast in an air conditioned space. Adored Grandson helped us with the event, and was ready to be fed, too. My fellow Yelpers recommended this as one of the breakfast venues in town, so off we went. We found lots of red, white, and black decor with a firefighting theme, as one might expect. The strong color scheme presents in a down home charm fashion. Dear Hubby found it a bit dated, while I felt it has a kinship to many small town coffee shops across the country I've been privileged to visit on road trips. Off the beaten path of Cochran or L.A. Avenue, it's on Sycamore, just north of Royal. Servers are friendly, vacated tables were cleared promptly. Breakfast items are available all day. Adored Grandson enjoyed an appetizer plate of taquitos, plus a side order of steak fries. DH had an outrageously messy burger, which he loved. I went more traditional with French toast, one egg, and crispy bacon. As tired and hungry as we were, it was all good to sit in the air conditioned atmosphere, devouring comfort food. My area of constructive criticism is their beverage selection options. Coke products, basic coffee, iced tea, beer and wine are about it. I wasn't in the mood for lemonade out of a gun, so stuck with water. They don't do shakes. I could have asked for the ingredients to make my own decaf iced coffee, but didn't have the energy. Overall, loved the comfy vibe celebrating firefighters, and well-prepared menu items, with good service, to boot. The decor could use some freshening, sure. Still, a better experience than other recent venues, so a winner. read more

I really love this place. The food is very good. Everything tastes amazing and so fresh. The portions are a good size and prices are fair. The waiters and waitresses are so friendly. They always check on you and always have a smile. This place gets pretty busy because of the hours it's open. Sometimes there may be a small Wait or not much parking. It has its own lot but it's not really big. There is some handicapped spots in the front. Highly recommend you try this place. You pay for your meal up front. Just take Your ticket up that your waiter gives you. read more

Consistent service and food quality. Great pancakes, eggs Benedict, chill fries... servers are all friendly.

The only downside is that the parking situation is limited...but who cares when you have the best breakfast food in town and fast/quality service. Since Eggs n Things has horrific customer service (despite being local long time customers) we opted to give another joint our business. We've found our new spot! I had a delicious chili cheese omelet with hash browns and biscuit/gravy...hubs had a make your own omelette and our son had the pancakes. Not a crumb left in site. See you soon Fire House! read more

Great place for breakfast! First time here and won't be last. Everyone's breakfast was delicious. I had a basic breakfast made to almost perfection but still good. I asked for over medium eggs but they were a bit too runny. Bacon was on point! Our waitress was great! She was very attentive snd made great suggestions. I highly recommend this place. And they're only open from 7 am to 2 pm. read more

Been here for breakfast. The food was delicious. I had a specialty plate that had potatoes, bell peppers, gravy, etc. I went ahead and added to some eggs which they gladly did for me. The portions were a good size. I can't believe I finished the whole thing. Would definitely go back. read more

Great nosh. Hot & delicious. Thank you, Amanda #2! Shrimp and eggs make for a nice early lunch.

This is an old school, local's joint. Nothing fancy, just straightforward "what are you having?" "here's your food" and "here's your check." The waitresses still use handwritten "checks" to take your order and for your bill, something I haven't seen in probably 10 years. However the food itself is pretty good. I got a cobb salad. It was HUGE. Nothing fancy, but it was filling. I would actually recommend getting the half version, I could barely finish the full size. As I looked around, I could tell that most of the patrons were regulars and their dishes looked appetizing. The menu is your normal diner menu: burgers, sandwiches, omelettes, soups, etc. Very reasonable prices for what you get. I would definitely come back. read more

No matter how busy, you will always have friendly and fast service. This place is a staple of Simi Valley. Always packed so if you find a parking spot, go play the lottery because your luck is with you. However, the wait (or walk if you park somewhere else) is worth it. Great food, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices. I pick my mom up every Saturday and take her to breakfast. For years we frequented another local business as it was her favorite "hidden" spot. We have recently changed and Firehouse went from a once-in-a-while treat to our favorite go-to. Try the breakfast sammich (ham and avocado is my personal fav) with a side of their chili, trust me! read more

This is an awesome family friendly breakfast spot with plenty of options. We have eaten here numerous times and the service has always been stellar. The servers are friendly and fast. The food comes out perfect and the portions are huge! Tip: If you have kids who are picky eaters like mine are, ask the server if there's other options for combining food items to keep the cost the same as a kids meal. Usually they will work with you if it is reasonable. My son wanted only toast and bacon, so our server accommodated him and didn't charge us for separate items. He was happy! My daughter wanted chocolate chip pancakes, and hey were awesome! The coffee gets refilled regularly also! One of the best breakfast spots in town! read more

Came for breakfast this morning with my Dad, for the first time. I had the California fireman omelette, minus the bell pepper. This thing was huge and smothered in cheese! A bit bland but decent. The has browns were really good and crispy the way I like it. Dad had poached eggs, sausage and hash browns, he said it was pretty good. Service is very good, deserves 4 stars! They refill your coffee very often. Waitress was nice, and checked in often. The parking lot is tiny, and it gets very busy, so come early. I could of done without the screaming babies so early in the morning, but its not the restaurants fault. LOL read more

Firehouse Cafe - California fireman omelette - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Simi Valley, California

We go here every Friday morning for breakfast, for the food and the service. My husband has the big breakfast with French toast, scrambled eggs and bacon and I get a California omelet with hashbrowns and sourdough toast. It is so good that we order the same thing each time. Denise puts our orders in and has our table ready and coffee ready at our table when we walk in the door. She knows that my husband needs to be at dialysis after breakfast so she makes sure we have everything ready for us. She is the best and on top of her game with a smile. The place is really busy and we recognize the same faces every Friday. The only thing, is I wish there was more parking or people carpool, LOL. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with fire fighter memorabilia, making the ambiance 5-star. I like everything about this place and it is my first choice in town for breakfast. read more

The food was delicious and the portions were huge. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Loved the vibe of the restaurant with all the retired firefighters. Highly recommend the place. It's a hidden gem! read more

I enjoy going to the Firehouse. I've gone for several years. The waitresses are very welcoming and professional. They will accommodate any idea of sandwich or meal you like. I feel safe at the Firehouse. In the advent of our concerns for Covid-19, they clean everything after each customer, table tops, seats, chair backs and even the top of the chair backs. They have a collection of "clean pens" for the customers to use. They do more to clean and make the dining area safe than any restaurant I know. The waitresses work at it constantly. They all have masks and wear them properly. I appreciate the work they do to make my dining experience pleasurable and safe. Covid-19 concerns aside, the waitresses are all very sweet. Enjoy your meal and have a good time. Sincerely, James S read more

This is Simi's kept restaurant secret, it is SO delicious that even writing about it now makes me want to go there. It's very much a greasy spoon so don't expect healthy, but man their food is flavorful and crazy delicious. I have never gotten anything that I was disappointed with here. Their staff is wonderful, fast and friendly and they have had the same waitresses forever so it's nice to see the same faces everytime you go in. Great for breakfast and lunch, if you haven't been try this place out! read more

The food is always great and we love the servers!! So friendly and welcoming! We visit quite often.

Big portions! Parking is tight but once you find a spot it's open and roomy inside the restaurant. Huge menu to choose from and lots of good breakfast options. I didn't see chicken fried steak which I had been wanting but that's okay. I got biscuits and gravy which hit the spot along with a machacha omlette. While it's wasn't Mexican authentic machacha (like you'd get in a burrito it was still good). Loads of vegetable toppings and cheese, so I ate about half. So full. We always got refills on our coffees and the pictures up on the wall from the decades these guys have been around is fun to see. There were so many choices here I'd easily want to come back to try something else. read more

Tried this place for the first time today and we unanimously agreed we loved the atmosphere, waitress, food and are definitely coming back.

Good food and fair prices. The only thing keeping me from giving it two thumbs up is their hours. So many times I have driven over there only to see a "We're closed" sign during hours they would normally be open. It seems they close if they're slow, if they're bored, or if they just don't feel like working. Not sure what that is about. But I have done it so many times and then had to go to some other local cafe that keeps the hours stated on the tin. read more

A place I've been going to for nearly 20 years, but hadn't been back for indoor dining since COVID. It was packed for Father's Day, but everyone was nice, having a good time(patrons and staff) and we had a great breakfast. Prices haven't risen here as much as other establishments, most of the same servers as before, the food was great, and I have leftovers! Thank you! read more

This is probably one of the best cafe/steakhouses I've ever been to! The food tasted amazing and the service was wonderful. I ordered the French toast and it was delightful. I also ordered the hot chocolate, which was amazing, and there was apparently a whipped cream competition, who could make a better swirl, and our waitress had the best swirl there was! Anyway, the food was delightful, the service was amazing, and we just had a great time. read more

The food was good, the service was excellent. They seem to honor first responders, as interior walls are covered in photos. My only negative here is their home potatoes, thinly sliced potatoes mixed with onions and peppers. They were overly fried, more like chips!! Next time, I'll have hash browns. read more

Always really delicious in such an understated way. I always feel like I'm a guest in someone's home. French toast is top notch homemade like grandma used to make. read more

This has become one of my newest most favorite restaurants. When you walk in, it pays homage to fire departments and firefighters and there are so many fun decorations all over the restaurant. The menu is unforgettable and has so many items that I can't wait to try! They claim they have the best eggs Benedict and I can vouch for them and agree! Everything is phenomenal and there's something for everybody! The staff treats you like you are family and are very quick with their service and very attentive. Will definitely be back and back and back!!!! read more
