    All American burger
    Jeanilee S.

    I've been having my car serviced at crown Toyota for a few years now so I've tried the food here a few times before. The guy working here is always super friendly. If you want to order food to go, you can order and pay at the register. If you prefer to stay and eat he gives you a menu and you seat yourself. They often have specials written on the little chalk board as you enter the dining area. So far I've tried the bbq burger, all American burger, and the $2 hot dog. Everything was delicious, especially the fries, and it's not too expensive either in my opinion. I'll probably try the quesadilla next time I want to grab a bite here. Fun Fact: they have charging stations for your mobile or electronic devices all along the wall in the dining area.

    Hair in my food. 2nd time this happened.

    Hair in our food again. This is the 2nd - 3rd time our food has a long hair in it. Maybe hair nets should be required if this keeps happening.

    lunch special: Turkey bacon avocado in sourdough, came with fries and drink
    Ana M.

    Honestly this place gladly surprised me. My car service took a little long and decided to try it out. Cafe service was super-friendly and that is something that I really appreciate. Food fresh and good selection. Turkey bacon avocado in sourdough

    the fries are no longer the deliciousness they used to be!! Did John Elway take that recipe with him?

    Pancake Combo
    Yadi G.

    Ordered the pancake combo while waiting for my car to get serviced and it was great! It comes with 2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon and potatoes. Food tasted great. Will definitely be back to try the other food. Great quality for a great price! Staff was super attentive and friendly. Very pleased with the service and food.

    two plates of breakfast food
    Amy L.

    Was here for breakfast. You seat yourself. They bring you a menu and serve you like any other restaurant. Prices are amazing and food is decent. Was a lot of food for the price. They check on you frequently to make sure you don't need anything else. If I lived closer I might come here for breakfast even if I wasn't getting my car worked on.

    Tuna salad sandwich & seasoned fries
    Tina T.

    Ordered a tuna salad sandwich $5-6 that comes with your choice of seasoned fries or a salad. Bread options - white / sourdough / wheat. I chose wheat bread & the fries. Service - Despite they were closing in 15 mins, had no issues with me ordering, or my order. In fact, another guy ordered a burger & fries a few minutes after me, with no issues. (And that's a huge thing for me! With restaurants being fussy for people who order close to closing time. I can understand for places that take 45 mins to make food but for something that will be done in less than your actual close time?... ok back to this review) Place is extremely clean, and it is INSIDE the Toyota dealership. Recieved my food in a very timely manner, with a fork, knife, napkin, ketchup, and RANCH to go.. without me even asking for it. In my books, if I don't have to ask for ketchup, let alone for ranch for my fries that's a 5 star review!! Finally, the food.. -Sandwich was a good portion, fresh veggies, and fresh tuna. It was light on the mayo.. but some of you may like that. Bread was toasted. It was a decent sandwich for the price. -Fries - ON CRACK. Think.... Jack In The Box wedges meets thick cut fries!!! I'd definitely just order a basket of fries next time I'm here ($3) and enjoy my wait time for my car service as I'm dipping them in ranch & ketchup.

    This cafe is a great way to kill some time while waiting around as your Toyota gets serviced. For regular maintenance work, and if you've made an appointment by calling ahead of time, you will be waiting about 45 minutes to an hour. I've only ever had breakfast here. Both times, the breakfast plates that I've ordered have been surprisingly good. The food is cooked to order and the staff are all nice and pleasant. Coffee is unlimited if you don't mind getting it yourself from the lobby. By the time you've paid your bill, your car is done and you can go on your merry with with a full and happy tummy while in your freshly maintained car.

In house roasted angus beef seasoned and thinly sliced with swiss cheese, grilled mushroom, caramelized onions, and horseradish mayonnaise, served on grilled sourdough bread. And curly fries.
