This place is rock-steady the absolute best breakfast place around! I feel so lucky to have it near my home. Their food is so delicious and they serve very generous servings of it. Their staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant itself is so cozy and charming. I treat myself to this place for breakfast 2-3 times a year, and every time I visit, they seat me quickly and give the best service and consistently great food. I always get and highly suggest Cooter's Country Eggs Benedict. It's Southern biscuits & gravy, but they throw two fried eggs and sausage patties on top of the biscuits before covering it all in gravy and add country fried potatoes on the side. Thankfully, their iced tea is brewed there (none of that awful machine iced tea!), and they serve it in a huge, oversized plastic cup. Best of all, when I was paying my bill, the food server offered to make the tea to go. She got a huge to-go cup and brought it back half-filled with iced tea. I put the rest of what I had in it and was set for the rest of the morning with delicious homemade iced tea! Wonderful service! I've actually been visiting this restaurant since I was a teenager in the early 1980s. My parents used to have breakfast here every Saturday morning. It was still called the Gold Miner Cafè even back then, but different owners, ofc. Everyone in or near Folsom should visit here at least once to see what you're missing! I'm positive you will return when you want a really hearty homemade Southern-style breakfast! read more

Food was great. I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy. It was a huge amount. The gravy was served hot:) If you see a customer in there with a bird, I would think twice about eating in there. It screeched the whole time I was having breakfast. read more

Just me, adding another solo dining review to my toolbelt! It didn't start out that way. My sister was on her way to meet me in Folsom when... potty break... hit me. I tried to wait patiently in the parking lot until our entire party was present, but you know how that goes! I ran inside to use the bathroom and upon exit was so politely seated on a Tuesday morning knowing that the rest of my party was just down the road. Unfortunately my sister was delayed and I had to order on the run to make it to my next morning stop. The server and her partner were fabulous. When I mentioned I was going to split my meal with the person who didn't make it, they offered to box up half the meal to go. Amazing! I finished my meal, paid, and delivered my on the go portion with a confident flourish (the country fried steak and eggs were divine!). If I were to offer a minor suggestion, please include plasticware to customers when bagging up their food. She happily enjoyed her meal on my tailgate with chopsticks and baby wipes I had on hand (my issue, not yours!) but an included set of plastic ware would have taken my 5 star to a ten (is that even possible!?). Great experience, flexible waitstaff. Love the choose-your-own-hot-sauce shelf. Wish I'd thought to grab a photo! read more

My wife wanted to take ne out to breakfast.l, and we had some errands to run in Folsolm, so we ended up here. A good choice....but not perfect. A strong 4. I ordered the four cheese omelet with potatoes, and a half waffle. She ordered the protein plate. The server was very sweet and personable. Overall, a truly classic breakfast place experience in atmosphere and personality. A lot of families getting big, heart breakfast plates. The omelet itself was very cheesy, but cooked well. Not rubbery at all....rare for restaurants. However, the potatoes were SEVERELY undercooked. My teeth couldn't even get through some pieces. Disappointment, because it shared a plate with a well cooked omelet. She enjoyed her protein plate, and said she'd order it again. The waffle was good, but could be better. While it was cooked well, there was too strong of an aftertaste of.....malt? Barley? Some added flavor that didn't sit well. Overall, I think this is a very well run breakfast place that I would happily return to. With a few tweaks, they could easily be a 5 read more

This was a great place to meet up with friends for breakfast, we were there on a weekday,although plenty of seating I think the weekends could be very busy. Truly so many items on the menu, but this morning I was looking for eggs and bacon and still wanted a waffle, so happy to find it on the menu. Perfect to have a half waffle with my eggs and bacon! read more

How can this place only have a 4.0 rating? By far the best breakfast I've had (not at home) in an awful long time. The homemade corned beef hash was awesome, and the biscuits are huge! read more

It was still dark at 6.30 when I set out to find this breakfast place in a (to me) strange town. There turns out to be no light on the outside sign, so I had an enormously difficult time finding it, despite having what turned out to be accurate directions. I wound up asking for help at the gas station which, unbeknownst to me, was directly across the side street from the restaurant. They'd never heard of it. When I finally got there, the sole waitress was in the back, but the extremely friendly local customers who were already there invited me to sit down and advised me to get a dish with gravy in it. So I got the chicken-fried steak with gravy. The gravy on top, with hunks of sausage, was pretty good, but the steak was grilled instead of fried and it just didn't work. It was tough and bland and not very edible. The scrambled eggs and grits I got with were OK, but the best thing was a well-toasted English muffin. I was hoping for a breakfast gem, but this wasn't it. read more

Ohhh, my bff and I found this place on Yelp after searching for a breakfast/brunch spot in Folsom. The plan was to have breakfast and then head over to Quamaria for coffee( that's still the plan) I was reading reviews of places and this place popped up. From the pictures alone and the reviews, I knew this was a winner and I wasn't wrong. We were greeted and shown to a table, the place was packed. We took our time trying to decide what to eat and my bff got one of their mimosas. We ordered Amelia's breakfast, that came with kielbasa, country potatoes, a huge biscuit, and eggs. We also ordered a side of grits and the stuffed French toast with whipped cream and tons of fresh strawberries. The portions and the food was great. The serving of kielbasa was almost the width of the plate! The grits were so buttery and the biscuit...the biscuit was huge and fluffy. The next time I visit, I'm getting the Extreme Bloody Mary. I would be remiss if I didn't mention our server, Amber. She knew the menu front and back and gave very useful tips of what was popular as well as her personal favorites. We really enjoyed talking to her. Everyone we encountered was attentive and pleasant. We will come back for the food and Amber! read more

Service was decent considering they were busy on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the food suffered. I ordered oatmeal and two poached eggs. Pretty simple, but the oatmeal was cold and didn't look done and the poached eggs were ice cold as well as the. I usually like to order poached eggs because I know they're gonna be hot, but these obviously sat under a warmer for quite some time. Overall, the food was OK based on what I see other patrons order they give you ample amounts, but the prices are a bit high. I would definitely try again maybe at a slower time. read more

Gold Miner Cafe - Oatmeal w poached eggs toast - American Near Me - Folsom, California

Great cafe for a hearty American brunch in Folsom! It is located at an outdoor strip mall with lots of parking. It doesn't look much from the outside but has a cute decor once you are in (think large wall clock and painted windows with an old town west view outside). We got seated immediately and our server was an older, sweet lady who was friendly and quick. Her recommendation was right on the spot! We ordered freshly squeezed orange juice, hot chocolate, the country eggs Benedict and the chili Verde skillet. The orange juice was definitely freshly squeezed and delicious. The hot chocolate was good. Portions for our main dishes were huge. We were able to have a full brunch, an evening snack and a full dinner for 2 out of those two dishes. The country Benedict was yummy - good sausage, decent eggs, decent biscuit, fantastic gravy. The potatoes could have had more of a kick. The gravy was quite heavy so you couldn't eat a lot of it at once. The chili Verde skillet was excellent - it didn't come on a skillet, which means that the food was warm but didn't continue cooking and burning on a hot skillet. It had eggs, pork, veggies, all smothered in chili Verde sauce with cheese and sour cream. It came with a side of buttered bread. The whole thing was really, really, really, really good!! I do wish that they had put slightly less salt, but my husband, who adds salt to his food, loved it. It was delicious and hearty, especially with the bread! I recommend ordering this and asking them to back off on the salt a little. Pricing wise, it was reasonable. The overall menu is extensive and their service is quick. We recommend coming here if you want a good American style brunch! read more

We moved to Sacramento end of 2020. Found this gem amidst exploring new nearby breakfast spots for weekend brunch.

It quickly became our go-to and easily a favorite. read more

We visited on Sunday around noon for family brunch. We were seated immediately in the booth. The restaurant was full but the service was fast. - kids Mickey mouse pancake & bacon: delicious and generous portion. The pancake was huge! It was fluffy and tasty. The bacon strips were super crispy - Agnes' homemade corn beef hash with hash brown: just okay. The eggs were cooked to our request (still had runny yolks). The hash brown was just okay - I wish they were more crispy. The corn beef hash was okay - lack of seasoning. read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant this morning. I wanted to try their sausage biscuit and gravy. I got the small order. That was a good thing I did. The biscuit was about 6 inches tall with brownish stuff on top. I only took a couple of bites. I guess if I want biscuits and gravy I will have to make it myself. read more

Location: Tucked in a row of stores in Folsom, down near Sutter Middle School and the DMV Reservations: none, just walk-ins Service: friendly and attentive, food came out promptly and fresh Ambiance: this has the feel of a classic mom and pop breakfast spot. There's cute local decor and it has a comfortable, homey feeling What we ordered: Vegetarian breakfast burrito-- this was delicious! This place has a whole section of the menu for Vegetarian options which is so nice, especially for a breakfast spot that tend to be very meat forward. This burrito was a huge serving of egg, onion, bell pepper, avocado, tomato, pepper jack cheese, salsa & sour cream. It was also served with crispy hashbrowns. Grandma's Biscuits with Sausage Gravy-- my boyfriend had this and said it was great- flavorful and rich Overall this place is cute, local, and a great spot for breakfast! read more

ANOTHER great Sunday breakfast here at GoldMiner Cafe. I cant enough about the great food and fantastic staff. I've had most of everything on the breakfast menu, but I recommend the chorizo and the house biscuits. The recently added beer, wine and mimosas to their menu and that was the only thing that was missing. I would highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. As you can tell by my before and after shots my son gives it a thumbs up! read more

We were quickly greeted and seated when we walked in the door. The cafe was busy with just two tables available. Water arrived promptly as we received the menu. I ordered Tom's (sausage links, eggs and potato choice) and a biscuit. I added with gravy on the biscuit. My friend ordered the Grace. We were both blown away with amount of food! We could have just shared a place. We had a pleasant conversation with our server China. She was running and mention she gets up to 25,000 steps in at work! I call believe it. The food was good, the biscuit was amazing! What a little gem here in Folsom! The walls were adorned with Johnny Cash paintings and the cafe really has a good vibe! read more

Gold Miner Cafe is a classic diner with absolutely delicious food. The servers have always been friendly, and the food comes out pretty quickly, even when the restaurant is crowded. They have a large menu with plenty of classic breakfast items (omelets, eggs benedict, french toast, pancakes, sausage, bacon, coffee, etc). Each item has a "classic" version as well as some fancy versions. For example, you could order a plain omelet or a fancier one with lots of vegetables, avocado, and salsa. Pretty much every meal comes with a side of a biscuit with jam, hash browns, and/or potatoes. I definitely recommend trying their biscuits and potatoes. They are amazing!! The biscuit is a little dry, so the jam helps. The hash browns are just okay- they are kind of bland and oily for my preference. They give a LOT of food. It's definitely enough to split a meal between two people, or order two meals for three people. It does get very crowded, especially on weekends. Making a reservation here is definitely a good idea. Also, what a cute place! I love how this cafe is decorated with murals of Folsom's history, lots of pictures, and other old-timey things. read more

Thanks Yelp! for helping me find this cafe for breakfast. The establishment is locally owned and operated since 1994. I'd noticed it before and this was my first time. I was impressed with the many regular customers eating around 1130 am on a Friday. The place looks a bit dated but I'm ok with that. The service was excellent. My country fried steak tasted fine but the breading came off easily. The hash browns, over easy eggs, and pancakes were well prepared and very comforting. I was unable to finish the ample food provided. read more
