The Hi-Lo Cafe is certainly a unique diner. We are on an epic roadtrip from the SF Bay Area all the way to Canada and back. This was our first real restaurant stop on the drive. The food is good and portions are certainly generous, but I would say the most fun aspect as the service. Our server was so funny, genuine and made going there worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also like the diner atmosphere with its retro feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the California Burger and a strawberry milkshake. The burger was stacked high with a good size patty, cooked perfectly medium rare, avocado, pepper jack cheese and bacon. I ordered a side salad instead of fries, which was fine. My brother had an order of French toast which he enjoyed. It was certainly a generous portion! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful retro ambiance with decent food options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best part is they use olive oil for cooking (rare to find seed oil free restaurants that serve good food). I enjoyed their eggs that was customized specifically for my diet preferences. Kids enjoyed the fish and burger. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was fun to dine in this ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wish they had the fresh orange juicer machine working which I believe is for breakfast usually The server felt more like a host with a smile on her face all the time :) read more

We needed a charge in Weed, so stopped and while the car charged, we had lunch at Hi-Lo. I should have taken more pictures and I'm sorry! They have a senior menu (LOL), which is less expensive and also less food. It's actually perfect We were greeted by the World's Best Server and Hostess upon arrival. She truly was awesome!! Brought drinks, refilled them, and gave us cups to go at the end. I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger with many customizations and they were ALL right. Hubs also had a special order and it came out perfect! I would recommend this place! read more

Haven't had a chance to stop in for breakfast in a while but we use to go especially when friends and family were in town. The California scramble was my favorite dish. We have bought so many gifts from their little souvenir shelves and everyone is always impressed with the home town feel of the quaint coffee shop. Thank you HiLo for always being there for us. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had someone working on one of their drink machines so it was a bit loud at the front but not too bad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

The food was awful. Sent the eggs back because the whites were runny and they slapped them on the grill with more grease and they still weren't cooked. The French toast tasted awful and the syrup was thick and stringy and definitely not maple syrup. The servers were nice but didn't care that we couldn't eat the food! To top it off the coffee was watered down. We still tipped 20% but the whole experience was a waste of $45! read more

Excellent lunch on the way south on I-5. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little diner on the main street in Weed, CA.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly staff, good food. Ordered the Patty Melt/ senior portion. Perfect! The hamburger patty was perfectly cooked, juicy without being sloppy or dripping. Fries nicely done. Refill on my soda without having to ask. The menu has a lot on offer without being too long. Good assortment of items. Highly recommend! read more

I was shocked by how amazing this place is. The food is great. The waitress is super friendly and nice. The prices are very reasonable.

Excellent coffee! Great service! Tasty food Definitely recommend if you're looking for a satisfying hearty breakfast. Homemade Italian sausage, house made corned beef and hash quite tasty. read more

Amazing food, excellent service! It's the local hangout in town with the best food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a fun place to catch up on all the local action happening around town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommended! read more

So husband and I were on a trip to the Oregon coast about a month ago. We have eaten there in years past and always enjoyed it! This last time service was horrendous! We stopped by on a Monday @ 10 o'clock. One sever was on shift and she tried to keep up with the customer flow, poorly! Resulting in slow service slow kitchen time. read more

I went with the waitresses suggestion and got the chicken fried steak. It wasn't all that great I probably should have gotten the fish and chips since they looked a lot better and tasted better. Super friendly service though with the old diner feel. I'll probably come back but try a burger or fish and chips next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

The service was amazing especially if you have little kids. So welcoming and providing crayons paper and an extra treat of ice cream sprinkles and whip cream with a cherry on top. Got to mention the food is great and serving size really big so don't be afraid to split a meal! Highly recommend this restaurant for travelers or anyone! read more

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! read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place smells strongly of Curry.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

The food was of poor quality. The saving grace was the waitress. She was a lovely person! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Bonnie was my server. The only server in the restaurant and was non stop serving all the customers!! She was amazing!!! I don't think they get enough credit for their efforts. Kudos to you Bonnie!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I miss the old HiLo diner. The one that felt like an American roadside diner with diner food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now I can't even get a BLT. They have some boujee BLAST sandwich so they can charge you for cheese and avocado even if you have it removed to have an American BLT, not a California BLT. So if your ok with a $17 BLT and a menu with overpriced California Diner food. This is your place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want a traditional American diner, this is not the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also ordered eggs with the emphasis on no runny white, three times we mentioned that. We got runny whites. read more

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.

It was a beautiful spring day so I took a ride through Shasta Valley and stopped at Weed for lunch. At 12:30 the cafe was nearly full except for the counter. I ordered a rueben sandwich with coleslaw. The only waitperson was so busy she forgot to give me flatware and napkins until reminded and she brought fries rather than coleslaw but returned to the kitchen to replace the fries with the salad. The coleslaw was just cabbage cut long and with a delicious dressing, but the long strands were a bit hard to get on the fork. The meat was tough, the bread was disintegrating so I finally had to resort to a knife and fork. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is an old cafe that has a prime location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food - 4 mics Service - 5 mics Ambiance - 3 mics Food - I had the pot roast. Meat was generous and tender. Mash and gravy was good. There were additional veggies as well.

Delicious food! I had the senior size eggs Benedict with home fries. Perfect size for me. Loved the grilled onions and green peppers in the potatoes. My husband had the chicken fried steak with eggs. He loved his too. Very generous portion and cooked perfectly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only negative was the cleanliness of the bathroom. The men's was not open so everyone was using the ladies room. The male employee that came out right before I went in was not as careful as he should have been with his aim so there was that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the food was very good and our waiter was super friendly and personable. read more
