Great staff. Excellent flavors on basic dishes. I highly recommend to anybody NOT looking for a 2 hour wait.

My last review of Hot Off The Griddle was in February 2020 before the world shut down. I believe this was our third or forth time visiting and I forgot how much we loved it. We were immediately greeted by multiple staff when we walked in and seated right after. We arrived a little after 9am and it was already bustling, but it still felt homey. We ordered the Special which was a Carnitas Breakfast Burrito and a Lil Breakfast with an Over Easy Egg, Potatoes and Sausage. My husband also ordered a Bloody Mary. The food came out quick and hot - my husband really liked the burrito and it was massive, he ate half and I took the other half for lunch today. I loved the Lil Breakfast - it was the perfect amount of food. The real winner was the breakfast sausage links though - so so good, made in house and it shows! The coffee was good and constantly flowing - their Mimosa menu is insane. I didn't even order one, but still stared at the menu for about 5 minutes. Mitchell took great care of us too! Overall, this is one of our favorite breakfast spots - we're already talking about coming back on Saturday! Check them out and show them some love! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Server was great, but the breakfast potatoes, need work ! Barely cooked, and not browned, more like steamed. I guess I was expecting more, and I am spoiled. From the SF Bay Area, Have had great Crispy country potatoes with bits of caramelized onion and bacon, And potatoes that were browned - this was NOT THAT. The Maillard reaction is a form of non-enzymatic browning that occurs when amino acids and reducing sugars in food are exposed to high heat. This complex chemical process creates hundreds of new flavor compounds, tantalizing aromas, and a rich, golden-brown color in countless everyday foods. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 read more

First time in.... Friendly service with a smile at 7:30am. Place was already hopping, which bodes well for it being a legit find. Menu had some really nice breakfast options with all the basics; eggs, meats, pancakes, waffles, omelettes, Benedict's, scrambles, and of course biscuits and gravy!!! Another nice feature is the ability to order a larger portion (XL plates) down to small portions. Basic strip mall type interior that's kept clean and well ventilated, which is super important given the amount of cooking going on in the kitchen! Coffee black this visit, so can't comment on any of the juices or other mixed drinks. Lots of mimosas and cocktails with a small beer and wine list available if that's your breakfast thing! Since it's my first visit I had to go with biscuits and gravy w/scrambled eggs and sausage links. Biscuits are good sized and just the right mix of fluffy/consisntecy. I'm not a fan of dense biscuits, nor do I like them too fluffy. These hit the mark! Bacon based gravy, not the traditional sausage so it hits a little different, and is really good! Two eggs scrambled really seemed like four.... So perfect!! Sausage links were also decent sized and perfect for cutting into 6 slices each to enjoy with epic bites of BnG and egg. All in all... they earned this high rating on the first visit! If I make it back I'll provide an update, if warranted!!! read more

Food & Service Food's always great here so is the service today. I had food to go and let's just say this : I ate some put in the microwave ate some a little bit later and there's still ton left. Don't come here if you're not gonna eat a big amount or you don't want leftovers be prepared to have a huge portion. I'm glad that this location is where it's at. It's nice to have something in South Natomas with a few other places over here. The potatoes is what I was craving and was perfect Have you tried the gravy? You should! Hubby got the loaded burrito it was huge. It seems to always be packed here, but seems good. It would OK with my mom. I've always been able to get a seat. Normal level of sound & nice big windows read more

This place is awesome! I think they are better than pancake house and give better value than crepe city and gives the bear a run for its money! The drinks are not cheap. $4.99 for hot chocolate. But there is one refill! Also the kids menu is the best value. Less than $10 for French toast, sausage, bacon, and egg. That's a lot! The regular bacon breakfast comes with everything! Including potatoes! And it's a lot of potatoes. It's packed but not out the door on a Saturday morning. And there are plenty of seating. Event is here. All ages and from every corner of the city! I definitely recommend it and will come back with the fam! read more

I get the hype. I get why this place is recommended so much. It was amazing, delicious, swept me off my feet, great start to my morning. We ate here on a Sunday morning and was instantly greeted cheerfully by this worker with blonde hair (i'm sorry i forgot to ask for your name!!). And it was 7am. We wanted her happy energy so bad. Anyways we both ordered the HOTG omelet and it tasted SO GOOD. Everything tasted wonderful and the portion size was really good that it filled us up very well and we were able to save the leftovers for dinner that day. It's very close by and i would definitely come by here again. read more

Well that was really good! Lots and lots of food for the money. I was able to order three dishes and feed four people (2 were XL dishes). Chicken fried steak was well executed including some tasty gravy. Not much pepper in it, but you can add some on the table. Great pancakes! Fluffy and light, thick and round, just great. Band G's were good enough to take home for later. Sausage patties were good too! And the fries! I almost forgot the fries! They were amazing (especially dipped in gravy). Service was good, not great. But the wait was short to be seated and to get the food once we ordered. And they were busy on a Sunday. Everything looked good from burgers to rings to French toast...and everything we ate was yummy, all you could ask for on a lazy Sunday morning. read more

I thought Hot Off the Griddle was great. A country modern feeling as you walk in. Plenty of seating and seats wrapped around the window with natural sunlight. The menu had a great list of breakfast or brunch options. We shared the a breakfast plate, "LIL breakfast" forgot what it was called. We had toast, waffles, potatoes, eggs and bacon. Generous portions and tasty. A great breakfast spot if you're a breakfast lover. read more

First time eating here and the food was very good, plentiful, nice plated presentation, and service was excellent. I particularly liked the small portion choices on their menu. Finally at restaurant where I could order one egg ...The French toast was perfect! Not soggy. Fluffy with the right amount of spices. Loved it!!! I didn't order the breakfast potatoes but not only did they look delicious but from the aroma alone I knew they had to taste just as good as they looked. The potatoes looked cooked to perfection, Golden brown, and topped with scallions. The party at my table confirmed that they tasted delicious. Great restaurant for breakfast!! read more

Delicious food, I had the traditional Eggs Benedict . It was delicious, EXCEPT the potatoes were completely covered in Green Onions. I am allergic to green onions and they were not mentioned on the menu. Either mention it or waitress ought to.... I always try to order food that doesn't have them. My husband had 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 sausage links. Said it was all perfect. So don't hesitate to come here! Also excellent service, really nice waitress! read more

Met a couple of friends this morning for breakfast. Despite having to ask for napkins a few times, service was excellent. Our waitress acknowledged our long wait and having to ask for napkins again. Just to acknowledge is appreciated. I ordered 3 items ToGo. It was cooked promptly...took it home & after half way through eating, my son sees this hair tucked inside his omelette... suggestion, not sure if hair nets are required to be worn by chief but maybe it should be... if I lived close, I would've taken order back, simply because it wasn't cheap and this is just absolutely disgusting. read more

My favorite is the French toast. The chefs don't miss. Ever. read more

Came in for breakfast and it was a nice find. We came in and were seated right away. They were slightly busy, but still very good service. I like that the manager/owner would come out to help and serve when he noticed some of the servers getting overwhelmed. They have two TVs going so if people were interested to watch. I would say it can get a little disorganized as walking in there is the counter to pay as well to check in people to get seated so if there a few people waiting to pay the people waiting to get seated might wait a bit as there is only one line for both. The food took a little bit but it was with it. The food was all delicious and very good portions and good flavor. For breakfast you had the option to pick potatoes or fresh fruit. read more
