The Volcano Scramble was both mammoth and delicious. This entrée is a shareable size, and while my wife and I did share it, we were not able to finish it. My daughters also enjoyed a kid's pancake and chicken fried chicken. How was that for two different breakfast orders? The service was kind and swift, and when there was an error with our bill, they were quick to resolve it. We are now part of the many who will recommend you try The Smoke Cafe. Their patio is dog-friendly, and they also have some of the best iced tea I have ever enjoyed.

I would come back if nothing else was open in town, the food was good, but the plate was served on. Looks like it should've been thrown out 100 services ago.

Update after new ownership!…read more I was worried that the food or service was going to change after the new ownership was completed. I mean, I was expecting the worst. What did I get? The same great food, the same great service, better coffee and the convenience of being able to pay by card (wth a fee). Are the prices a little higher? Yes; but what isn't these days? For wonderful pancakes cooked in butter, I'd pay it gladly. All the recipes are the same and boy am I glad. And the specials are always fun. I'd like to put my request in for a Corn Dog omelette special, please. I had it about 7 years ago and I still can taste it. My hubs would like the Cowboy Filet Mignon. Jose is a breath of fresh air. So friendly and attentive, as is the rest of the staff. Well, damn. Now I'm hungry.

Enjoyed my BBQ burger. Buttery bun and bacon gave lots of flavor. Pepsi products on self serve fountain. Only thing less than perfect were the fries - they were a bit old. I liked how you could choose how well done you want your beef. That is a very nice touch and somthing you just won't find at almost any other quick burger joint. Restaurant seating area was spotless. Workers super friendly. Only place of improvement was the fries. Interestingly I had one tater tot accidently thrown in with my fries and that was crunchy and perfect. Maybe encourage the chefs to try food for a taste test if in doubt. Perhaps give a few fries to the people working up front? My first time trying Wahlburgers - loved the packaging of the fries and colorful touches and merch. Will come again.

I just stopped in for late night tots. There were only 2 parties in front of me but they took over…read more15minutes. Not sure why it was so slow but a manager had to come over to finish the transaction before mine. The food came out quickly (about 2 minutes). I got truffle parmigiana tots which had the parm in one corner of the box and was not touching most of the tots. And the server didn't know I was supposed to get the truffle aioli with the truffle tots. That's ok it was mayo with a VERY SLIGHT truffle flavor. Tots were hot and crispy on the outside and well cooked on the inside. Next time I'll get the plain tots because these were not worth the price difference. Or I might need to try the sweet potato tots instead. I realize tots are not their specialty but if they put it on the menu, it should meet the same standard as the rest of their food. The employees were very friendly and seemed happy to help. The "dining area" has a fair number of tables and booths plus a short counter for loners like me. The whole area is kept clean which I do appreciate. I'm willing to to come back and try again since there's no other quick food near the casino/hotel.

2.5 stars rounded up. I've never thought to stop in Copperopolis on my way to or from Yosemite, but…read morethere's a first time for everything I guess. Popped in after a Yosemite-in-a-day mission for dinner, and it was strange. The shopping center felt like it was some strange faux Disneyland town. Very little things were open, and there's also a hotel? This restaurant and the pizza place seemed to be the most bustling. The restaurant has an enormous door that was easy to open from the outside, a little more difficult to open from the inside. Anyway, enough about the ambiance. We had bikes with us, so they accommodated us outside. Menu was pretty basic: appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pastas, and drinks. Everything looked and sounded delicious to our famished crew, but I think they're banking on starvation. All the food was just okay, mediocre. Nothing was bad, but nothing was amazing either. I got the brisket salad. Brisket ($18) was kinda cold and gummy. The cornbread ($6) was a little tasteless. The honey citrus butter with the cornbread had so much potential but was also a little flavorless. A friend ordered pickle chips and that was probably the tastiest thing we had. Our server rang us all up individually which was great for a group. After tax and tip, it was $30, which hurt for such an unsatisfying meal.

My first time I got the Bison Burger and this past time we all got the Pulled Pork Sandwich special and it was so freaking good. The staff is friendly, and super attentive. I enjoyed the old building and local art on the walls. Pay attention to the specials board because we missed out the first time around by not noticing it until after we ordered. Can't wait to try new specials next time.

However, I Visited on Mother's Day with my daughter and sister and had a completely different experience. I have a gluten allergy, one daughter has gluten sensitivity, and my other daughter has celiac disease. We informed our waitress that we needed gluten-free options and were told they were out of gluten-free buns but had gluten-free sourdough. After double-checking, the chef confirmed it was gluten-free. Something didn't seem right, so we asked to see the packaging. Wheat was listed as an ingredient. Thankfully, we caught the mistake before eating it. Unfortunately, when our food arrived, two of the gluten-free meals were still served with gluten-containing items, including a flour tortilla and the same bread we'd already identified as not gluten-free. The food itself was actually delicious, and I wish I could leave a more positive review based on that alone. However, for anyone with celiac disease, a gluten allergy, or a serious gluten sensitivity, accurate ingredient information is not optional--it's a health and safety issue. The repeated errors from both the kitchen and serving staff were extremely disappointing and left me with little confidence in their ability to safely accommodate gluten-free guests.

We went by today for a lunch and it was delish!!!…read more The menu is spacious. Lots and lots of breakfast and lunch options but I will say it's a bit expensive. Perhaps it's due to inflation but 70$ for a couple sandwiches and a milkshake seems high but speaking of, it IS good! We got the patty melt with fried chicken on the inside, and onion rings, a Dr Pepper with a chocolate shake! My friend got the Chicken Pesto Sandwich with their garlic fries and their ranch (which was home made I tried it. YUM) the food was juicy and the milkshake was creamy with real ice cream. Absolutely delish!!!! The service was great per usual! Our server I've had before who is hilarious, SUPER good at serving I swear can triple task. Plus he was good at bringing me Dr Pepper and gave me one to go. Extra points for that!!!! If there's one thing I loooove it's my drinks and the faster I get them fresh the happier I personally am!!! The ambiance is very casual and usually packed to the bone!! The residents of the area are all friendly, the girls working behind the bar are sweethearts it's decorated with country style everything! I saw a puppy in there named Kona, very relaxed atmosphere and comfortable I highly recommend if you're traveling and looking for somewhere good to eat off of the 108 with amazing service and food it's here!!!

what a creative menu!…read more I was hungry for a philly cheese, and the "philly cheese please" hit the spot. Soft tender slices of ribeye, paired with grilled onions, grilled red and green bell peppers and a helping of black pepper was great. No sauce to make it messy and paired with garlic truffle fried was fantastic. Since these were shoe string cut, they were crispy and very crunchy. My SO ordred the fondue burger, and this was delicious as well. Warning the hot cheese will burn you, and hot cheese oil. But worth the burn as this smother cheese on a ciabatta bun was great. This was paired with sweet potato fries. These thick cut sweet potatoe fries are only sprinkled with sea salt, they retained the soft and moist texture just prefect. One order of a passion fruit lemonade, was a great balance of sweet and tart, and came in a very large glass. Pleanty of ice to keep it chill and slowly sip through out the meal. The meal a tad heavier than I thought, I finished my philly cheese, but not the fries (a first) The room is very high ceiling and all these great art works, posters and items on all the walls. TV screen with sports and sounds like sattelite radio running above. Service was very prompt and friendly. They explained the menu and clarified on some points. The specials sounds great, but we opted for a lighter dinner and went for sandwiches and burgers.
