    Lil Biscuit & gravy on the side, not smothered on the biscuit.
    Martha G.

    Had a nice experience for breakfast on Sunday morning after church service. My sister ordered the Lil Biscuit & gravy on the side. The potatoes are often overlooked, but she stated they were as good as everything else on the plate. I ordered the special: Chicken N Waffle. The waffle was crispy and good. I have always had a piece of chicken on top of the waffle but they had 2 wings and 2 drumettes which was very odd to me. Overall, the restaurant has everything we look for - yummy food, friendly and efficient service and it was clean.

    Red white and blue waffles and French toast breakfast
    Rachel L.

    Came here on Saturday morning and was quickly sat at a table with my boyfriend. I was craving a sweet breakfast and was kind of disappointed by the limited choices. I was super intrigued by the red white and blue waffles that they were promoting at the front so I ordered that, and my bf got the French toast breakfast. The food came shortly after we ordered and it was so delicious. The red white and blue waffles was super yummy, I was a little bit sad that they ran out of blueberries that day, but the chef gave me extra strawberries :+). I appreciate our waitress for checking up on us so often, the ambiance here is so lively and positive. I will definitely come again to eat the red white and blue waffles and try the mimosa.

    I've been in Sac a year and this has become OUR SPOT!!! We bring everyone here when they visit. 10s across the board for service, atmosphere, food, music. It's always on point!!!

    Great service, food was delicious and generously portioned. Don't be fooled by the location. Once you walk in you'll know that this is the spot for brunch! I love that it's not just breakfast items. I got a club sandwich with onion rings. The coffee refill was on point.

    Next to the Little Caesars parking lot. The restaurant isn't that big, BUT their plates are ‍ and the prices are reasonable. The staff is nice and attentive. The food was flavorful and a decent amount. We will definitely come back.

    Nice presentation

    Service is always on point. Early burs specials are one-of the best in town and just the right amount of food that will leave you satisfied and not sleepy I cant say enough good things about this place!

    I have cancer, so I chose to replace the fried food that came with my meal with fruit because I'm trying to eat healthier. Unfortunately, the fruit I received was old and in very poor condition, which was extremely disappointing. I also asked for an extra toast and waited for about 30 minutes, but it never came. I asked three different employees about it, and unfortunately, no one seemed to care or follow up. I'm very disappointed with both the quality of the food and the service. I paid more and expected much better.

    Chicken Fried Steak XL, pancakes & Mamba Mimosa

    Went here with my family (Party of 13) for my birthday brunch. The staff are welcoming, friendly and quick. The food was delicious. This is a great spot for breakfast and we'll definitely be back.

    Came here on Labor Day Monday with a group of seven, and we had such a great experience. The service was prompt, the wait time was short, and everything came out fresh and hot. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was amazing - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The mango mimosa was an even better addition, and honestly, I'd come back just for that. Every main dish also came with a side of fluffy pancakes, which were spot-on and made the meal feel complete. Now, I'll say the aesthetic isn't the fanciest, but that's not what you come here for. You come here for the service and the food, and they absolutely delivered on both. One detail that really stood out: my niece wanted a gumball from the machine by the register, and I didn't have a quarter. The young man at the register was kind enough to hand her one - such a small gesture, but it really showed how welcoming and family-friendly this spot is. Safe to say we left a good tip, and we'll definitely be back.

    I'm from out of town and have been here twice - once during the weekend (when there's a wait time) and once during the weekday (around 8am when there was plenty of seating. This place is the perfect breakfast spot. Big portions, tasty food, great service. This is also a great place for brunch with PLENTY of mimosa offerings. There's lots of places to sit but again during the weekend it gets busy but thankfully it is attached to a parking lot. All in all come here for good ol' diner food! PS: special shout out to their huge pancakes and their hollandaise sauce!

    California omelette

    Amazing amazing amazing! What an amazing brunch we had today at Hot Off the Griddle. Heather was super attentive to us. We ordered the California and the Southwestern omelettes. The hashbrowns and biscuit were delicious. The service was quick and the food was hot and delicious. It gives family dining. Like everyone is a regular! Loved it. 9/10

    Had the pleasure of having breakfast here at Hot Off the Griddle. Our server was so nice and down to earth. We were greeted and were given water and menu. Let me say first , the portions are very very generous here. You will walk out full. I ordered an Eggs Benedict and wow, it was huge for breakfast. But I gobbled it all, well most of it lol. The eggs were cooked perfectly, nice a yolky as they should. The ham was thick. So very good. My potato bits were seasoned nicely and the dish had a side of fruits which was just the topper. I was very satisfied after my meal and with the service. Will have to come back when I'm in Sacramento. Plenty of seating inside and has a pretty chill vibe. There wasn't any loud music of that sort. It was pleasant eating breakfast here.

    Solid breakfast place up north. I always seek a new spot to try on my early days, so this was perfect. In my opinion, this place is good, not great. My corned beef and hash was definitely not standard or the store bought variety, but it was slow cooked for 6 hrs and I appreciated that. The potatoes were well seasoned, but I prefer them to be crispier. Eggs are eggs. I always opt for an extra egg for the protein and to balance out the meal better. The biscuit was definitely made in house, but was a little dry for my taste. It was still palatable. They have a nice menu and place seemed pretty packed for a Wednesday late morning. The service is simple and quick. They have a very large counter area that I sat at and really liked. You have quite a bit of space. I took a video for you guys to appreciate the vibe. It's pretty straightforward, The food is definitely a little elevated, but not "knock your socks" off great, but that's okay. I think this is a great option for breakfast for Natomas natives or people nearby. Rec'd: corned beef hash, HOTG Benedict, and the chicken friend steak

    Are you still offering outside dining? If yes, when is the best time to come to guarantee a seat outside? Thanks!

    No small place, don't see we one would seat out side

    Do they serve bacon alternative like turkey bacon, etc?

    Why don't the waiters wear masks?

    They do wear masks

    Are they open for outside dining these days?

    Absolutely. We have plenty of outdoor seating!

    Yes, they do catering and host events as well

    Can you order to go?

    Not this year Zach. We couldn't get the smoker going because of the rain this year so no Turkey. Just our normal house made Turkey breast for our sandwiches.

    What is the noise level here and is the piped in music bothersome?

    Low, I get there when they open and I have not heard any piped in music.

Maple Sage Fried Chicken. My favorite! The chicken is uniquely textured and the sweet sage flavor really makes it stand out. As a person who is actually not a big breakfast food fan, I think this dish has the right balance of breakfast hashbrowns, toast, and eggs mixed with "regular food," the chicken. 2. The strawberries and cream stuffed French toast was pretty good. One of my daughters had this dish and enjoyed it. 3. The house pancakes. My wife thought she has had much better classic pancakes at Orphan and Sunnyside, but they were decent. Probably would not get again. Great service as always. Thanks, guys, for a great start to a day of farmers market venturing (right next door).

The server said the chicken fried steak was really good, so that was my choice. I thought that I would also enjoy the pork sausage gravy served on top of it since I love biscuit and gravy. I was quite disappointed in my choice because the steak as very tough, and dry, like it was not made in-house but probably frozen, and deep fried in house. The generous serving of gravy on top was lacking any flavor and was on the pasty side, so it didn't help the steak in any way. My toast was cold, which was not too much an issue, but the hardness of the toast was like day old left over toast. I told the server the steak was pretty tough but he chose to ignore my comment twice. I did like the potatoes, which were nice and crispy, but if anything, would've like a fresher piece of toast. One of our guest gave me her butter and that did not spread well on the hard toast. I took the steak home, and heated it a little because I was still hungry, but after one bite, I just tossed it. Just wasn't good. The guest next to me did order the omelette, and her omelette did look very good. I was just unhappy with my meal, for the price, which would've been worth it, if it were good.

Our waitress came over shortly after. I see a lot of mixed reviews about the service, and I think some staff members are friendlier and more outgoing than others, but even the less friendly servers were still attentive, helpful, and quick. I think it just depends on who you get and whether you value a really friendly interaction or care more about the food and basic service. We tried a cappuccino since the host said they make all their coffee in-house, and it was pretty good, especially coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee. We chose the fried green tomatoes as our starter, and they were delicious. I'd never had them before but had always heard how iconic of a Southern dish they are. They were really well balanced with the aioli and feta, and the tomatoes themselves were juicy and fresh. I had to go with the shrimp po' boy, which was also really good. The shrimp were pretty big and tasted fresh, complemented well by the really light, airy, buttery bread and fresh vegetables inside. The fries were also a plus! I enjoyed everything I ordered and would definitely come back to try some other things. I will say it was a bit pricey for brunch for two people, with the bill coming out to around $80 with tip. I guess that's just the day and age we live in now, though. I thought the portions were decently sized.

Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. It was an unfortunate moment that took away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch. Sadly, this first impression may make us think twice about returning.
