Loved the down to earth atmosphere at Katy's Kreek! Service was friendly and quick. We got seated right away on a Saturday morning. The food was fresh and filling. It was the perfect breakfast after visiting the state park nearby. There's a parking garage a block away that's free for the first hour if you can't find street parking. read more

Katy's Kreek - Turkey patty with eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We've had breakfasts delivered from Katy's Kreek multiple times now, and from my perspective, they consistently deliver high quality food that is well packaged and presented. Most recently, we ordered their garden omelette which was an excellent portion of fluffy eggs and filled with different chopped veggies and topped with sliced avocado. The omelette had the right level of salt and was accompanied by country potatoes that were nicely seasoned and were tender but not overcooked or overcharred. We also got their side fruit bowl which included fresh strawberries and blueberries. The portion size was good, and only thing is that the melon and cantaloupe could have been more ripe. We have previously enjoyed their traditional egg Benedict (which included properly poached eggs and creamy hollandaise), over easy eggs with bacon and sausage, and their French toast--all were excellent. I hope to eat there in the near future but will keep on getting their breakfasts delivered in the meantime! read more

I came here for brunch with a group of friends and got seated right away. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was rustic and charming. The food was well presented, and the portions were large. I tried the Nutella waffle with strawberries, banana, and whipped cream. It was yummy, but the waffle didn't taste very fresh to me, and the chocolate tasted more like regular chocolate than Nutella. I also think it could've used a bit more Nutella, especially since it was advertised as a Nutella waffle. That being said, the fruit was fresh and added flavor to the waffle, and the syrup paired well. The waitresses were very nice and accommodating, and they were able to separate all of our dishes into different bills per person, which we appreciated. read more

My coworker and I split a nice breakfast at Katy's. It was recommended by the staff at the hotel we were staying at. We split the eggs benedict with bacon and an order of strawberry pancakes. They were both great and the orders were huge! Service was great, the food came out very fast. I would go back! read more

Katy's Kreek is our go-to breakfast spot in Walnut Creek. We've never had a bad meal there. Once and awhile the service can be slow but that's because they are usually pretty busy. Good variety to choose from, they have something for everyone's taste. read more

My husband and I had a very nice breakfast on a Thursday morning. I know that's a quiet time but the service was excellent. We both had the eggs And turkey patty with sourdough toast. My eggs over medium were very good. I'm giving 4 stars because I didn't care for the coffee. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, clean bathrooms, and a large capacity. read more

Awesome breakfast joint! Pricy but worth it. It's a great atmosphere and awesome service to go with the yummy food!

Great service, we were allowed to choose where we wanted to sit. We went around 12:30-1pm it wasn't too busy or noisy! Our waiter Celia was the sweetest, making sure we had everything we needed. We ordered huevos rancheros, classic egg Benedict , both 10/10! Cannot complain about this place! read more

Food was alright, but the service is meh. The waitress asked if we needed plates during the ordering process, we said yes. When our food was served, a second staff said she will bring our plates. However, we waited over 20mins... we didn't get our plates. I ended up asking the third staff to get that what we needed.... read more

Katy's Kreek - Conn Seafood Cobb Salad, Basque Omelette, Country Style - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Katy's Kreek Restaurant in Walnut Creek has the best French toast I've had in a long time. Brunch is my favorite meal of the day so I've had many of French toast and baby, this one took won by far! The amount of cinnamon infused in the batter and the powdered sugar topping and somehow they were able to make the French toast and the crust of the bread be crunchy and not soggy how most French toast can sometimes come out. That is why it is the best I've ever tasted, and it wasn't an overdone crust. It was just perfect to allow for a bit of a crunch to go with the cinnamon butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar, which made my breakfast heavenly. Went here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday and my other friends Breakfast looked good, but my French toast was legendary! So, if you're in the mood for French toast and in the East Bay this is my recommendation to try, Katie's Kreek. The service was quick even though the restaurant was packed, which means the staff was working hard and was also very friendly. Very causal and laid back vibes for sure. If you come on a Saturday morning, which I did, you can expect a small wait, but I guarantee you the food here is worth the weight! They also had some delicious lunch options that I was thinking of trying, but will save for a later time. Look forward to returning to Katy's very soon. Lots of metered parking in front of the restaurant and near by. Excellent spot for large parties for breakfast. read more

I went to brunch here w/meat-eating neighbors .. they were all thrilled w/their selections but for me the only vegan choice was a token veggie burger, fries & salad- very sad ! ( & not very good either ! ) Service was fairly quick, it was quite busy & the servers knowledge of vegan options was non- existent & did not feel very accommodating, but this was a meal based on the company, not the food ( for me) It was kind of noisy & crowded & bustling so it seems like a popular place to eat, has a family friendly atmosphere & decor but not my cup of tea ! read more

I'd thought I would try Katy's because of the low rating to see if it deserves it. And Yes it does! My wife's classic egg Benedict was hard-boiled, instead of poached. Obviously, the cook doesn't know how to make an egg Benedict in a brunch/breakfast restaurant !?!? We had to send the egg Benedict back! My O'brien potatoes (veggie omelette) were not "roasted" as advertised but deep fried and burnt! Not coming back. read more

Came here since someone on the street recommended this place. I ordered a seafood cobb salad and My husband got French toast. We were greeted right away and u can sit wherever you like. The food came out very fast. I was impressed that they used real crab in the salad. They were very attentive with refilling coffee and water. My husband enjoyed his French toast. It seems like more of a traditional breakfast spot but they did have some unique items on their menu like calamari steak and eggs. The best service ever! read more

Great food, huge portions and friendly staff! Our breakfast go to in Walnut Creek for many years!

Since my last experience 17 years ago, I've never been back to Katy's Kreek. But the honey loves benedicts and that seems to be their specialty, so we decided to drop in. Katy's Kreek has limited outside seating (two tables) and our service was prompt. The honey enjoyed his benedict (which came with three poached eggs), but my eggs, bacon, and potatoes? No. 17 years later and it's still no. The egg whites were the only positive. The potatoes were incredibly oily and the bacon? It was worse than the free bacon they give at a hotel lounge. Dry and overcooked (and I prefer my bacon crispy) - it was just bad. So in 17 years it seems they haven't changed much, other than inflation catching up to their prices. read more

Ordered breakfast since it was close to work and maybe i ordered the wrong thing but corned hash never was cubed for me or maybe i'm not use to this style. Very plain too, but there was no toast for my order which would have saved it for me. But it's fine won't be returning. read more

It's a pretty nice place but it was eerily empty on Tuesday for lunch. Five of us were there for lunch. Three different servers helped us - after we had to wave to get their attention! We ordered breakfast and lunch items. The breakfast potatoes were under cooked. The "little spicy" chilaquillas dish was way too spicy. Will not return. read more

Such a great place. It has old California charm and great food. We love them for breakfast but the lunch / dinner menu is great as well. You have to try one of their Benedict dishes. That said, I love the biscuits and gravy but definitely ask for extra gravy! The Katy's Kakes are awesome too and the syrup is so good. The staff is really friendly and will help make any changes or substitutions. Give them a try! read more

Went here for brunch with my son and friend , I arrived first and was told to sit wherever I wanted. It took probably 15-20 min for server to acknowledge us! We got drinks first and my Ice Tea tasted horrible, had to ask for something else and what I wanted was NOT available due to machine not working. Why not fix before busy weekend customers? So we ordered food which was mediocre to my liking and very pricey!! $20 for a breakfast plate? Come on..We will not be returning, you can get a way better breakfast for way less somewhere else! read more

Five stars are for the servers! All of the servers are amazing! My Godchild loves this place. Truth be told, not my first choice for breakfast/brunch. But I end up here often enough. The food is solid, 4 stars always at least. Generally plates of food are not served hot. I want my food hot in temperature. Their potatoes are the star here. Most places I get a salad instead of potatoes. Never here, get the potatoes! They have a full bar, and know what they are doing when it comes to making a drink. Enjoy! read more

So the good and the bad... The good is that the staff is friendly and the ambiance on the patio is warm and relaxed. The bad is that the food is not worth the price. I ordered a very basic breakfast plate, something I figured couldn't be messed up: two scrambled eggs, three small cakes and sausage and bacon. The eggs were worse than I've had from hotel breakfast buffets. Overcooked, under-seasoned scrambled eggs. The pancakes were flat and rubbery. Flatjacks instead of flapjacks. The sausage and bacon were nicely done, good crisp on the bacon. It would have been nice if there was any kind of plant on the plate, either a slice of orange or a bit of greens. They charge 18.99 for this plate, can they not add even the semblance of special touches? Otherwise, what's to differentiate this plate from a Denny's special? Nothing but the price my fellow breakfast lovers. Go to Denny's instead and pay half this for the same exact thing. It might even be better. if you're seeking a nice atmosphere and service with a smile, but don't mind if the food isn't great, Katy's is a good fit. read more

My recent experience at Katy's Kreek was really disappointing. I meet up with a friend here a few times a year for their eggs Benedict. This morning, both of our crab Benedict's were just awful and the potatoes were burnt. The eggs were cold as were the soggy English muffins. The crab wasn't fresh. It just missed it on every mark. Service was good. They offered to make something else for us but we declined. They did not charge us for the two entrees that we did not eat. Although it was a fail on this particular entree I will give Katy's Kreek another try. read more

I have been here a few times with friends and absolutely love the food. The Benedict's are delicious. Service is always great too!

The service was superb when we walked in we were greeted and asked to sit wherever we would like. We ordered OJ and a bloody Mary. Needless to say the bloody Mary was very tasty. We ordered the French toast combo and the three pancake combo. The French toast were moist and very tasty, they hit the spot as well as the pancakes. The food came out to perfection. Definitely recommend this place and five star service. read more

What a great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch!! Super friendly service. Everyone was so nice and personable. Decent choices on the menu. They've got A variety of egg benedict dishes, omelets, breakfast plates, pancakes, waffles... and then you flip the menu and you've got salads, burgers and sandwiches! So many things to choose from. The portions are huge. They serve Peet's coffee and they have a bar. My party ordered: Green Omelet, a chorizo Omelet, and I got the Chicken Cobb Salad. Everything looked amazing and tasted delicious! We had a birthday to celebrate and the staff delivered a plate of fresh berries and a crepe while singing Happy Birthday! So cute. Definitely will come back. Lots of parking for being in downtown Walnut Creek. read more

Love this local breakfast place! I would have loved to have one of their famous Bloody Marys but I had a lot of driving today. They were very accommodating with my order: I ordered the California Benedict but subbed bacon for the sliced turkey. Then sliced tomatoes instead of potatoes. It was delicious! Piles of bacon and fresh avocado, perfectly poached eggs, lovely hollandaise. Lots of free iced tea refills and also got an iced tea To Go. They let us sit for a long time talking and didn't try to rush us out. (There was nobody waiting and lots of empty tables) Highly recommend this joint. I'm sure it's crowded on the weekends! read more

I visited Katy's Kreek on 10/31/22 for breakfast. Food: I decided to order the Dungeness Crab Benedict. The entire dish was pretty tasty, especially the Hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were also seasoned to perfection. I probably would ask for the potatoes to be a little more crispy next time, personally. All in all, the meal was filling. Service: The restaurant wasn't busy, so I was able to choose my seat. After placing my order, I received my meal within 15 minutes. That was pretty fast. The staff members were extremely pleasant, too. I loved how they welcomed me inside with a warm "Good morning." Ambiance: The establishment had a nice, cozy feel. Overall, I would return to Katy's Kreek. The breakfast food is truly good. read more
