    I only have great things to say about this place. We've stopped here twice on our way to Bend, Oregon and have loved it both times! The service is so friendly - and efficient without being intrusive, which I adore. Today, we had Bonnie and she was fabulous in every way. So fun! Ambiance = old school American cafe. Clean and cute. The food: BLAT sandwich = lovely! Shasta Burger = fantastic! Turkey Club = great! And the pies - wowza!! Will definitely stop by here again.

    Crispy and flavorful fish & chips.

    Friendly service and tasty American comfort food at a great price! The fish & chips were crispy and flavorful, and I loved salad bar, especially coleslaw is my best! Definitely one of my go-to spots. I'll be back for sure‼

    Oh my God avoided this place since the new owners took over but it sure looks like they're getting their act together bonnie the a former waitress which we fell in love with is still working there now they hired her back on and some of the old crews, but the main thing is is the food ended out being spectacular went above my expectations if you've overlooked this place because of the new management no longer stay away from it it is actually pretty good. Still got a little bit of growing to do but definitely worth the time and your budget so check it out let me know.

    Very fast , kind service. Both ladies who helped us were absolutely nice and kind. Kimberly I helped us to get a great breakfast and raven the other costumer care was super attentive and kind. People here are very low-key and down to earth make the decision easy for you to grab what type of food you like to enjoy . They serve fresh orange juice . The quality is above average. Highly recommended

    The Hi-Lo Cafe is also somewhere I stop when I am passing through Weed. It is a cute little café right when you exit the I5 to the 96. I have passed through here at many different times of the day over the years but most frequently around breakfast/brunch time. This time however we were passing through in the afternoon. We stopped in and we're offered a booth right by the door right when we entered and we're asked if we wanted something cold to drink. The Hostess/server brought our drinks over and gave us some time to decide. They had someone working on one of their drink machines so it was a bit loud at the front but not too bad. I ordered a turkey Club add avocado with a side of fries but was brought a Chicken Avocado Club with fries. Which was excellent so no biggie. My boyfriend got the French Dip which he enjoyed. Their fries were cooked to perfection and we're so delicious. We'll be back on our next pass through weed.

    OMG! Let's talk ambiance. What a little treasure of a 50's diner set in a little mountain community that takes you back in time for a wonderful experience in Weed, CA. Our waitress was the Best which made our whole experience awesome! She was so sweet, kind and attentive. Never had to ask for anything. I only wish we got her name before we left today 11/17/2025. The food was good. They use real fresh ingredients and the coffee was so smooth and delightful. My husband had the roast beef sandwich dip, fries and coffee. I had the cheese burger, probably one of the best I've ever had, fries and coffee.

    This place changed for the worse. What bye heck happened, new and bad management? Been waiting over 30 minutes and the waitress just took our order. After, she said there are three orders ahead of us so our order will take another 25-30 minutes. An hour at the table at a small cafe with perhaps 5 tables with people and out of beer (except Indian beer) is unforgettable. This place smells strongly of Curry. Many years of staying and eating at the Hi-Lo and we will cancel our return reservation for next week and make this our last stop at the Hi-Lo.

    The "BLAST" was pretty good, but, for the price, I wish it had more avocado. The name of the sandwich is an acronym for bacon, lettuce, avocado, Swiss cheese, and tomato and it came with mayonnaise on toasted white bread for $16.99. Also included was a large side of fries. Everything was good except a bit skimpy on the avocado and one strip of bacon was all fat and under cooked, so it was not edible. All their sandwiches were about the same price. They had a burger that cost over $20! Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the menu! Good enough for a stop near Highway 5 on the way to Yreka!

    Free cup of coffee is just enough to incentivize us to eat here after a stay at the Hi low motel. The place has a cute charm to it with its ambiance of a retro style diner. I like how all their music are classic pop We're excited for our Mt Shasta breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, and French toast (shareable between two) We also got some hash browns and biscuits and gravy to round it out. The server behind the counter was extremely friendly and attentive, offering to top us off anytime we got a bit low on drinks. Her bubbly personality is top notch

    Everything we ordered was delicious, from breakfast, lunch to dessert. Biscuits are homemade as was the chili & burgers. The fries were crispy & fresh. We had a milkshake that was perfect. The waitress was friendly & welcoming, we will definitely come back & visit this cozy hometown diner.

    Good Earth sandwich add bacon
    Sherrie M.

    My service was excellent. Prices are more mid than lo. I ordered the good earth sandwich add bacon. Only ok. So much better if it was carved turkey then the deli slices they used. Take it up a notch Hi-lo, we chose you over a chain location even turned around when we missed your exit. My husbands hamburger was bone dry he requested more mayo. Keep It real And keep it good.

Bar seating and plenty of other seats to choose from. I heard handsome John saying he will be making sushi on Fridays and Saturdays. I don't think they serve food daily so be aware.

    We were really shocked this place has good ratings, would not return…read more Were looking for a few beers on tap and appetizers, figured why not since they had decent reviews on their sushi rolls. The entrance was hard to find, walked in and stood at the bar for a few minutes. Said we wanted to order some draft beer and the one we ordered ran out half way through a pour where the bartender said they needed to change the keg. We asked if we could grab a table and sat there a while.. Finally I went back up to the bar thinking she would of brought us out or signaled "Hey here's your beer" but nothing. When I asked about our beer she said, Oh we switched it to a different keg.. So I ordered different beer and asked if we could order food, menu was on the wall.. The ordering process but a tad confusing..Do we seat ourselves, where are the menus, do you we order at the bar? The bartender didn't seemed helpful or like she really cared to be honest. We ordered the rainbow roll and lemon drop roll (something like that). Both came out, no small plates just the dishes and small saucers for soy sauce. Neither roll was good at all, no taste, mostly rice, definitely zero lemon flavor, fishy taste on both but could of been due to the sushi nori. We didn't expect great sushi rolls but these we the worst we've had since we could remember. Not only that, pretty sure the sushi rolls are the option for food in this place. The atmosphere is super divey, more like an outdated locals hang out, everything was just kind of gross. Wouldn't return.

The inside was gorgeous with very cool murals and a great vibe. The outdoor space (where we chose to sit) was nice also. Comfortable seating with a view of downtown. Next, we were met with the nicest staff from the hostess to our wonderful waitress Anna. She was helpful and honest and an absolute joy. We'd go again just to see her. Lastly, but possibly most importantly, the food was superb. Huge portions fairly priced with superb ingredients. I ordered the blackened chicken Cobb salad, which Anna warned me was a bit spicy and she was right, but mixed with the delicious dressing, blue cheese crumbles, bacon, egg, and avocado, the spice was perfect. My husband got the California burger and fries . It was flavorful and perfectly prepared. The fries were crispy and flavorful also. Overall, an excellent dinner and I highly recommend a visit here. Next time we will get the pizza. They looked and smelled so scrumptious.
