Lambert House Café in Yuba City is one of our favorite family breakfast spots! Their buttermilk pancakes with the perfectly crispy edges are hands-down my favorite. They also have some of the most reasonable breakfast prices in town, especially when feeding the whole family. I love that the cozy feels you get when you come inside! The hospitality is always wonderful, and the main waitress with glasses has such a fun, spitfire personality--you can tell she genuinely loves her job and her customers. We've supported Lambert House Café since day one, and we're still happily coming back! read more

Got sausage, eggs ,hash brown, toast. So I got the toast first then in a few minutes the rest came out. Sausage was burt on one side yet raw in the middle the eggs were cold and the whites still runny. Hash browns were cold. The cook needs some training I think. Not sure about a second try. read more

Visited May 15 2026. I met my girlfriend here as we were going to go shopping at the mall in Yuba City. It's a very small restaurant but they have plenty of outdoor seating. DOG friendly outside. I didn't give them 5 stars because they seemed engaged with the locals. Slow service. We split the breakfast sammy which was good but nothing special. We didn't spend much time here as we were heading to the mall to go shopping! Its a smaller place ( see videos) but popular with the locals. Location is a bit funky to get to. read more

I came in with my son on Saturday for brunch. I had the #13 a Lambert's Benny and my son decided on Lunch and ordered the Mother Clucker spicy chicken sandwich. My son literally devoured the burger! He said it was really good. He really enjoyed the sidewinder fries and the onion rings too. I had the eggs Benedict with a side of hash browns. I enjoyed it. A very busy place and there wasn't too long of a wait. read more

Best Huevos rancheros I've ever had. Absolutely incredible. The chorizo was perfectly spiced, beans, perfectly cooked, beautiful avocado on top. Tortillas were crispy, and the eggs were nice and runny. Not overly salty. Reasons for the 4 star rating instead of 5: - The eggs that came with the corned beef hash were brutally undercooked - Biscuits and gravy were a bit bland - Juices are not freshly squeezed read more

I really wanted to like this place. The hostess was really rude, the food tasted bad, and it was super cold. Our waitstaff was sweet.

Great food and people, will definitely revisit. It's not a big place but the food is good and service is great

Poor Customer Service and an Unnecessarily Hostile Management Response. We waited over 15 minutes to be seated and were initially helped by a server who was apologetic and trying to resolve the situation. Unfortunately, the situation became unnecessarily frustrating when a second server mistakenly assumed we were waiting for a table for eight and told us it would be a while. She then proceeded to seat another party that had arrived after us and had been waiting less than three minutes. The frustrating part is that this was their mistake, not ours. We had already explained that we were perfectly happy being split into two tables of four. We were simply trying to get seated and enjoy our meal. We were understandably frustrated, but we were not rude to the staff. Instead of clarifying what had happened, the manager immediately approached us and said, "We can't have somebody being rude to my servers." That was an incredibly condescending way to handle a customer complaint--particularly when the manager had apparently not taken the time to understand the situation. There is a big difference between defending your employees and automatically assuming the customer is the problem. A better manager response would have been something along the lines of, "I'm sorry for the confusion. Let me find out what happened and see how we can fix it." That would have de-escalated the situation immediately. Instead, we were made to feel as though we were the inconvenience and, frankly, as though we weren't welcome there. That is not good hospitality. Mistakes happen. Tables get backed up. Restaurants get busy. None of that is the issue. The issue is how management handles those mistakes when a customer is understandably frustrated. Hopefully this specific Lambert Cafe employee or maybe owner- takes this as constructive feedback: listen before assuming, clarify before accusing, and remember that defending your staff does not require disrespecting your customers. For us, the experience was disappointing enough that we won't be returning. A restaurant can recover from a seating mistake. It is much harder to recover from making customers feel unwelcome when the mistake was made by the restaurant in the first place. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Food was great. But service was blah and for me service is very important. ‍ To each their own.

Delicious! 5 of us had breakfast here this morning. The food was delicious! I had chicken fried steak with eggs over easy. Nice piece of tender beef deep cried crispy with a nice milk sausage gravy poured over the top the country potatoes were ok but when mixed into the gravy and popped yolks of the eggs, they were delicious! Two people had the avocado toast, one had the breakfast burrito and the last had steak and eggs. Everyone liked their meal. Please see pictures and let your eyes feast! The decorations of the restaurant are very comfy and friendly feeling. The service was good, but lacking just a bit in friendliness. Coming from the Bay Area I always look forward to visiting small private owned restaurants. They are generally more friendly and welcoming than the chain restaurants. Still the service was cordial and prompt so I can't complain. read more

Came here for one thing only. French toast. I like an old school french toast none of that fancy stuff. It's really hard to mess it up. So I came here because I heard theirs was good. I must say, I think this place takes the cake. Their french toast was flavored to perfection. Idk what their dipping it in but might as well be crack.. I have found my new favorite breakfast spot. If their french toast is this good I can't imagine the rest.. read more

Waited two hours to be seated, watched as people who ordered after us received their food first, when the food finally came out the hashbrowns were raw, greasy, and covered with oil. Food sat on the handoff for over 10 minutes while the staff talked in the back, horrible customer service and the staff acted annoyed we came in. Overall a terrible experience I will not return read more

You can't miss it when passing by cute planters outside with string outdoor lights. Cute simple design which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. As soon as you walk in it's loud but a nice loud. You hear people talking with voices of enjoyment and music. There is a sign to sign in on a line paper note pad and wait to be seated. While waiting there's a menu on the wall so you can look at what you want while waiting. On the shelf to sign in there are local businesses and games and fun things for the kiddos. There are booths, bar stool table, tables for two, and tables for bigger parties. The menu is specific and has something for everyone, Very diverse. I was feeling like a simple small breakfast and there was a lovely selection for someone feeling more peckish than looking for a full meal. Which simplified it for me. Drink menu had so many nice options and there's a cute non-alcoholic Mommy mimosa which I was feeling like treating myself this morning so I asked and the waitress was very sweet, and attentive. Gave me a lovely recommendation for a sweet mimosa and it was perfect. Avocado toast was great every thing so fresh and egg made nicely. There were so many great raving reviews and this place did not disappoint. Even your simple very day coffee was delicious. Even though it was loud it was not disturbing I was able to read my book and make my notes in peace ( but I also have six kids at home so that could just be me) haha. But overall and all I definitely recommend will definitely bring my family here. Must Try! read more

Lambert House Cafe - Biscuits and gravy was good! They offered toppings and I asked for jalapeño and it was a great idea. Would come again - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yuba City, California

All the food here is great, cute spot and fantastic service. We always enjoy ourselves here

Great service and really tasty food. Had a breakfast burrito. Cute little spot that I never knew was there!

If you're craving traditional dishes with a twist, this spot won't disappoint! For breakfast, the sourdough pancakes are a must-try. Just be sure to bring your appetite. At lunch, the Jammin' Grilled Cheese is where savory meets sweet in the best way. Pair it with crispy onion rings or flavorful sidewinder fries, you can't go wrong with either. read more

My son wanted chicken fried steak and I found Lambert on Yelp. The Cafe was busy on Sunday around 11. We put our names on the list and waited about 30 minutes, but it was worth the wait. Lambert House Cafe is a homey, eclectic cafe with cute decor everywhere. Our waitress was friendly and our food came fast. My egg white omelette was fluffy and filled with spinach, mushrooms and onions. It was served with perfectly cooked crispy hash browns. I subbed my toast for a sourdough pancake. It was tangy, slight chewy and went very well with the syrup. My son loved his chicken fried steak! Great place for brunch. read more

I been eating at Lamberts for years and I love this place. I highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch. I was not disappointed, every visit is awesome, the staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious I definitely will keep coming back for more. This hole in the wall place is kind of unique in every way. The food was very good and the prices are average fair and reasonable compared to all other places. What I have loved the most is that you get a pleasurable smiles and greetings upon entering through the front door. You always get the feeling that your so glad you ate at Lamberts cafe. I want to share this short motto that will always convey guidance and principle. Your smile is your logo. Your personality is your business card, and how you leave others feeling after an experience with you becomes a trademark. read more

Oh my!! Upon entering this establishment I noticed a terrible smell- burning old vegetable oil. But my party sat down because we had always had good service before. Then we started looking at each other in amazement- the song playing loudly was in fact profanity and lewd language about the abuse of a woman and was encouraging the behavior to listeners. I asked the server if the music was appropriate for a cafe. She asked the cook to turn it down. He turned it up. Needless to say we left and will not be going back. read more

Service was good, food was perfect and the drinks did not disappoint! My friend and I will be back.

My husband and I tried breakfast on our way through town and boy are we glad we did. Went there at 8 AM on a Saturday, no wait. Service with a smile and very personable. Food came out fast, delicious, and reasonably priced. We'll be back. Don't forget to use the restroom and read all the signs on the wall, very entertaining read more

Absolutely NOT dog friendly! Waitress blamed me for not letting her know I had a service dog, not a pet dog. I was made to feel very, very uncomfortable. The whole idea of the ADA federal law was to prevent interactions like this. Flash and I weren't welcome inside the restaurant. read more

Once you walk in it's a sweet little place but the flies are more welcoming then the waitress. We just moved to the area so we want to try every local restaurant and support the community. The food was decent but won't be returning. Customer service is everything a simple "you're welcome", smile or even coming back to check on the customer would've made us return. read more

I love the food honestly so good!! The service was great !! I always coming back here !!

Have visited lamberts several times and have always been a fan, today 8/3/26 we wasted 1.5 hours of our day and will no longer be returning to Lamberts. We were seated right away and didn't get menus or any sort of service for the first 15 minutes. Finally we were greeted and asked for a drink order, we then asked for menus. Our kids received their drinks with lids on and no straws so they took their lids off to drink them, they finally came back for our order and we asked for straws for their cups, at this point we heard the family next to us complaining that they had been waiting over 30 mins for their food to come. We continued on, played some card games and the kids food came out, the server then explained to us that the cook made my husbands food wrong and they were remaking our food. At this point our kids were already done with their pancakes and we weren't willing to wait another 20 mins for our food so we requested that they cancel it. We spent 1.5 hours in there, left with only half of us fed, and they didn't even discount our bill. There was zero communication the entire time, never once offered a refill on our drinks, never once "sorry about the wait" until we requested to cancel our food. Overall just terrible customer service. read more

Amazing service I went for breakfast last week and the food was amazing I will definitely be going back :) !

Four words... Sour Dough Pan Cake How have I not known about this before now? Wow...the perfect marriage of pancakey goodness with a serious sour punch that holds up to butter and syrup like a prize fighter in a championship match! Lambert House Cafe serves up some amazing food in a charming space that feels homey and welcoming. The staff is wonderful here, clearly accommodating and suggestive of what are the best items on the menu. Big plus...they serve Bridge Coffee! The two best Yuba City food establishments in one place! read more

Service was top notch and was provided by Tavi. She was friendly and attentive and made for a lovely breakfast. Ate here for the first time and we will be back. Had the bacon breakfast, Denver omelet and a pancake (between hubby and me). Great coffee. No complaints. read more

The service has been pretty mediocre now when we come in, when it's the mom and daughter working we can hardly get menus or even acknowledged for drinks without waiting for longer than 5 minutes. When we came in there were only 3 tables of a party of 2 already almost finished up plates pretty slow. We sat waiting at the door for at least for 4 minutes to start barely acknowledged. Normally I don't mind because I'm a server my self and understand. We haven't been back for a while because of the service alone, the food is always great but I can't help but to sit and be treated poorly with an expected tip. Always just poor attitude and inattentive, even after Coming back again from a couple of months I am still dissatisfied and disappointed. Looks like lumberjacks it is for the win read more
