My total was 17.95 for an absolutely terrible meal. When I questioned the staff I was advised that it was correct and they wouldn't do anything about it. Definitely do not recommend this place!

The entire time we were there, there was a creepy looking guy sitting in back table holding his phone up like he was recording people. The table was empty and it made sitting at the shop to eat pretty uncomfortable. This was around 3-4PM on 10/15.

And at first I wondered why is the feta in blocks instead of crumbles, but it was to match the cubed cucumber that made the salad refreshing. I also tasted the salmon entree and it was just fine.

Okay folks, if you're into having a truly, Homemade meal, well this is the place for you. They have some of the best cooks, and the food is out of this world. I recommend their hamburgers and fries. But, Let's face it, every Hamburger and fries meal, requires a thick and creamy milkshake. No worries, This place is known for their thick and creamy milkshakes. So hey, do yourself and your family a huge favor. Head on down to Hometown Cafe, you'll always feel good about the homemade goods, that make your tummy do a Happy Dance! I'm just saying, don't miss this place, you'll be so happy you followed your heart, and got that incredible meal, your still talking about. Yum yum, Kori McBrayer read more

First of all it's totally cute inside with a retro feel! There is also an ice cream shop that is attached to the restaurant. Convenient and great treat after eating next door! Since we had already shared a breakfast earlier we got the biscuits and gravy. Very good with generous amount of gravy and not too peppery! Quick service in a busy atmosphere!

There were already two tables seated and a few tables filled right after us and we were greeted immediately, given menus and offered drinks. She was the only server and was super chill and efficient. This is straight up a road side diner. I ordered the I-5 traditional breakfast of two eggs (over medium - which is not always done right, sadly, but they were perfect here), 4 bacon (so good), hash browns (not salted...which is fine because then it's not over salty, but they really lacked any flavor), and wheat toast. Randy ordered the B. A. T. Benedict (bacon, avocado, tomato) that came with hash browns. Hollandaise was bland so that was a bummer. Randy felt the same about his hash browns. There are tables, booths and a couple tvs around an open space.

The pico de gallo also seemed fresh and flavorful. My friend got the chicken and waffles and felt the chicken was well seasoned and crunchy while still tender. We shared the bam bam waffle, it was very sweet, the black berry sauce was a good tart taste to balance out all the sugar. I will say that although the food was delicious and fresh, the price was a little higher than expected. An extra side of syrup was $2 more. A side of eggs(2) was $5. I shared the receipt. All and all I'm glad we stopped here on our way back to Sacramento. Great food.
