Super comfortable and nice staff. The fountain soda is always slightly flat though. The menu isn't super autism-friendly because they don't have a frier or french fries of any sort, but the best they offer is plain grilled cheese and potato chips if you or your kid have limited diets. I recommend getting the croissant bread. It's absolutely delicious. read more

Recommended by a former long time resident who grew up in the area. The food here was amazing. Very family friendly and the food, amazing. I'm now a big fan of the "45" and the vegetarian chili. You can tell that the people preparing the food know how to combine flavors. I was glad my wife noticed the ATM and wondered if the place was cash only. Sure enough, we saw the sign by the register. Fortunately there was time before the food came for one of us to walk to the Chase down the street to avoid the ATM and bank fees. read more

The Ruben dip was AMAZING!!!! The people taking the order were very kind and had great recommendations.

Hands down best sandwich I've ever had . The chicken Santa Fe!!! !!!!!!!!!! It's very cute place to eat at also.. only thing I'd change is longer hours of operation!!! read more

Some great soups that we have enjoyed over the years. Some pretty good sandwiches and a very cute set up. Waitresses are efficient and pleasant. Food is served promptly. Overall we liked eating here. Recently the soups had more of a flavor of soup base and less homemade. The sandwiches are large and really more suited to two people eating them. read more

Pretty good place, filled with Willits good Ole boys and girls, lots of gossiping among staff and guests. Service is pretty good as long as there aren't "preferred" guests taking up the wait staffs time.food is good to great. The clam chowder is awesome on a cold day. Willits is a very clique town, so be prepared to be treated well but not great... read more

You won't do better than Loose Caboose for a hearty, tasty sandwich. It's a good idea to call in your order as they can be very busy at lunch time. Even so, you will have your food in under twenty minutes. I have been there multiple times and always come away satisfied. Patio dining can be a bit too close for privacy. Inside is fine. Good selection of beers. Ed T., Willits read more

Great food and friendly service! Cozy booths wonderful place for a great lunch!!!Extreme Vegetarian Sandwich is my favorite!!!!

I love this place!! Always great food, good service and friendly atmosphere!! Great for a quick take out or the have a meal with friends!

Along with drinks at Shanachie Pub and breakfast at Ardella's Kitchen, a sandwich at Loose Caboose is one of my requisites for a visit back to the old stomping grounds. The sandwiches are great, big and gooey and toasted to perfection. My favorite is the oriental express (there is a train theme for the sandwich names--can you imagine?) which is bbq chicken heaven. And it comes with pickles and pepperoncini on the side. My only complaint is I wish they had a deep fryer so I could get my sandwich with fries, but I'm not going to ding a star for that b/c I know the folks at Loose Caboose are just trying to help me with my french-fry addiction. And besides, any star they might have lost for that would be replaced by the fact that you can get a cherry coke that's made with maraschino cherries in it (granted, styrafoam cups = boo!). When I was in High School my friend swallowed the ball on her tongue stud--it came off while she was trying to tie a cherry stem from her cherry coke into a knot with her tongue. She succeeded, but the swallowing of the tongue stud ball rendered the victory a bit hollow... read more

Loose Caboose Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Willits, California

Just moved back into town after a year and a half or so and this place still tastes the same!?! that is an impressive consistency! when everything comes out just as I remembered it is such a satisfying thing. all the sandwiches are great-granted I think there are too many olives on some of them but that is an easy thing to ask for. veggie rice soup on a cold day. vanilla chai milkshake on a hot day. love love love. thank you. read more

Okay so if you know my reviews you know by now I do not give five stars unless it's a 4 star restaurant and with 5 stars service food. If it's a 3 star food with 4 star service I let it be known So without further ado... We stopped here because of the great reviews. She had a salad with chicken and I had the Santa Fe. A chicken sandwich, with cheese and green chili. A lovely sandwich. The price made me inquire if fries are included but they were clear that "it comes with a pickle and pepperchinies, we don't do fries, you can have chips for a buck fifty." No probs, I was just checking. She explained the Santa Fe was the best sandwich. I would agree it's a good sandwich but not the best. I think the iceberg lettuce alone takes away from the experience. I mentioned my allergy to avocado so they held the ago. Very nice. Krista had the salad and explained that some things cause migraines... So she carefully picked a salad that had no aged cheese or the like. Unfortunately it was loaded with olives (aged) which was not listed on the menu. The time it takes read more

Very cozy and cute place in the heart of Willits. Don't blink or you will miss the street it is on. We had the Reuben Sandwich, a Salami Sandwich, and two bowls of Clam Chowder. The Reuben definitely ranks as one of the best I've had, the pastrami was tender, the sauerkraut tangy and the bread was awesome. My wife had the salami sandwich and enjoyed it very much. The chowders were tasty as well. It will definitely be a stopping point when traveling through Willits, read more

Love the French Dip. Ordered a breakfast Burrito from this place have to admit I simply love it.... Can't wait to go back soon.

This is a diamond in the rough find! Food was great, I had the Santa Fe Chicken sandwich. service was inspirational and very much an enjoyable experience overall. I have since gone back two or three times and completely recommend this great find to others. You will not be sorry! read more

Probably the best place in willits to get food! The food is always consistent and so delicious

Quick service, good hot dogs, reasonably priced. Their patio was open to grab your food and munch outside.

They're so good omg, literally perfect sandwiches, their diet cherry Pepsi is A++++++. it seems a little expensive, but it definitely is not for what it is. read more

Good customer service but they don't take card still an amazing restaurant would recommend to anyone and the food is delicious 15/10

Thank you Yelp. What a great place. My husband had the Railroad combo sandwich and I had the Pesto Chicken sandwich with spicy ranch dip. Both were super delicious and the train theme of the restaurant was adorable. I can't believe I hadn't been here before in the 40 years worth of trips through Willits I have made. We will be coming again! read more

I absolutely love this place! I am not from the area but now that we have friends around here this place is a must whenever we visit. Awesome sandwiches and salads. My hubby was happy when the root beer float he ordered was Henry Weinhard's. You can also customize a toddler plate and everything is cut up into bite size pieces. I believe I had chicken, breadsticks, shredded cheese and some fruit. Service is awesome and there is no long wait for the food to arrive. read more

See all

I love coming here for lunch on Saturdays with my mom. Cute ambiance inside, reliable service, and the food is consistently great. The Arnold Palmers are the best in Willits. Never a bad experience here. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended so we were disappointed when it didn't live up to the hype. The food was fine, but the service was really bad and there were a ton of people working there but no one seemed to be able to accomplish anything. read more

Great food! Friendly staff and service. Wonderful place for a delicious lunch. Their french dip is my favorite.

All the food here is delicious! Soups salads and The sandwiches are one of a kind. The railroad combo is bomb ! The entire sandwich is Toasted with salami, turkey, roast beef olives and their sandwich dressing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! read more

I don't know how I have lived here for several years and only just tried out this cafe twice for the first time this year. Now I feel like I have been missing the best part of Willits for the past 5 years! If I had known how good the food was here, I wouldn't have even bothered with the other sandwich shops. Their meatball sandwich is the BOMB! - just the right thickness, toasted to a perfect crunchiness, with the most delicious meatballs and toppings. My husband loves their turkey sandwich. I can't wait to try their other offerings. And of course, service is excellent! read more

Oh my sweet Satan this is the best sandwich shop in the world!! I'll definitely be back!

Great place to eat!!!! Such great ambience and always a welcoming staff that makes me want to come back. Delectable food, just remember cash only or there is an ATM on site. read more

No organic or gluten free options but other than that & being a tiny bit pricey it's definitely a great hole in the wall. You must try it!

Great malts & milkshakes! Cozy atmosphere. They have a dog friendly patio. A little slow but very friendly.

The Loose Caboose has been around for so many years, serving consistent lunches that are tasty. I tend to have their sandwiches, but their salads are also great. There are always items on the menu that I have not tried yet as I keep getting my regular favorites! read more

Great little place to stop on a road trip. Salads and sandwiches are huge and locally sourced. Cute little place and the staff was attentive. I'd stop buy again. Enjoy. read more

It used be really good, but now there taking short cuts on the items they use to use. There was no bacon on my Santa Fe, it just seem it was just through together. Not impressed anymore. read more

Miss Janie and I are local. We love to have lunch there about once a week. The soups, salads, and sandwiches are all wonderful. They have a nice patio where we can dine with our doggie. Patrons are Happy and upbeat. read more

I absolutely love this place! They make the best hot sandwiches in town. They're soups are really good too!

Sandwiches were great, I wish I remembered or had taken pictures to show and tell. Just passing through and didn't want the usual fare with two kids choosing. We arrived at just the right time as all tables were reserved or full within minutes of walking in(just something to keep in mind if you are around lunch time). Absolutely will be stopping when we go through Willits again. read more
